I knew the state of fast fashion was dire but good god. These jeans Tree got sorta last minute from uniqlo have care instructions that are basically "don't even breathe on these wrong, so it's not our fault if they turn into a shapeless grey mound in a normal wash and dry cycle."
This one hurts. Deeply. Bioware games were some of the most formative of my gaming and younger years. Thanks to every single dev who made the worlds we love. Thedas, The Normandy, and more. SW: KOTOR.
Just goddamit... this cuts deep.
EA is shutting down BioWare. The next Mass Effect has been canceled: https://www.rpgsite.net/news/21611-bioware-shutting-down-ea-job-cuts-mass-effect-canceled
Donβt know how to say it other than, creatives are currently enduring an Era of Punishment from rich people who just despise people with functioning brains.
Just some quick sketches of a few of my favorite @thepoduniverse.com characters. I really enjoyed Season 1, but Season 2 is where things are really starting to cook and get super super interesting...! If youβre looking for great sci-fi stories, definitely get caught up!
Less than 2000 people have signed this petition to stop the trophy hunt of Bears by luring them with bacon grease and donuts due on Nature Preserves (Preserves! Not even just National Parks. PRESERVES.) You can thank Trump.
Please share. Please show you care.
SAVE THE BEARS!!! π»
Obnoxious to see so many people still following a bud's former abuser, but then note that they've not been on said social media in over a year, lol. Wonder whyyyyyyyyy not, hmmmmmm.
SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
Trying to embrace my texture and go curly has me looking like a 90s Butter Mom most days. The fact that I'm constantly thrifting 90s whimsigoth bits as well as aging into a Pixar Mom bod only compounds this.
Tree has no complaints about these developments >.> Wait til I queue up Delilah, tho.
Bleecker Street, the film distributor overseeing the theatrical release of Alex Gibney's documentary Musk, was informed on Friday that the film's TikTok account was subject to "permanent suspension."

I'm losing my mind a little about how many of you are mad that Mike Flanagan wasn't completely faithful to Carrie of all things. Carrie: The Book That's Fine
I don't like that I don't like Looking Old.
I've always loudly been That Person, all "don't yank and fill things! Laugh lines, grey hair, all fine, actually!"
And Yet.
I think it's just the perceived tiredness, really. I don't smile wide b/c of my teeth in pics, which leaves a weary Mona Lisa.
But like, I did my hair really nice today, the weather is good, I *feel* cute. I snap a pic, oh no, where did that line by my mouth come from. Does everyone think I'm a hag trying too hard with black hair and band tees at 40.
When I would never think that about others.
NONE OF US ARE IMMUNE.
one time I was just typing in the search for a Japanese garden nearby on insta, and I'd barely gotten in the word "Japan" before it suggested a stealth upskirt shot account... cause 3 old friends of my ex followed it π just fun things to recall when they try to still say hey.
He gets real mad and threatening law suits at anyone who brings it up in news sources, so yanno. Be sure to loudly remind everyone that Bobby is in the Epstein Files and a massive POS. Monopoly looking suuuuper stable, guys, really.
my most millennial trait is that some websites should stay web sites and I almost never see their mobile form.
Insta, tiktok, sure, those are Phone apps.
FB, letterboxd, YT, couldn't pay me to open on mobile.
And wdym you bought AIRLINE TICKETS on your PHONE?! That's a computer/laptop task.
everyone always wanna get van helsing when draculas are about but hereβs the thing: dracula was killed by a cowboyβ¦if youβre a transylvanian peasant your ass needs to get to the rodeo
also, THESE ARE WHERE OUR DIPLOMATS AND POLITICIANS FLY. not dangerous at all. definitely WON'T kill them with foreign agents hacking and messing with our comms systems like what's been happening in England...
**DO NOT FLY OUT OR INTO D.C. AREA**
jfc this is so dangerous. this is one of the most difficult and attentive jobs. this is going to result in massive deaths.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH OUR COUNTRY.
jfc the United States federal government is compromised.
if I make a big silly of myself in front of someone famous tonight whilst high and covered in sparkles at the Tim Curry Memorial Legend screening, well...
...I know I'll be doing him proud, then.
even if Brubaker turns out to be innocent, this whole thing is revealing a whole lot of comics men who seem simply incapable of displaying empathy toward minorities in the industry.
Translation: "It looks like there might be two sides to the witch hunt I credulously embraced. How do I hold on to the moral superiority that's so important to me?"
to pretend that women in comics--COMICS--have NO REASON to be concerned that a man in their midst could be predatory is laughably obtuse. Even if Ed's your friend, you should be able to hold "but it is vital that accusations like this are taken seriously" at the same time!
Saw that Meta AI have used a Bowie song and got really angry. Then I saw which one they're using and I can't stop laughing. Does no one listen to lyrics or was "we're going to cause human extinction through the imminent death of the planet" really the vibe they were going for?
wild to me, how infinitely easier it is to (legally) watch american football online here than in the States. I couldn't even log with my folks' cable provider, the NFL wants you to pay for at least 3 services and hope they sync.
Here it's just like, a Crave sub, lol.
I just canβt get over how radiant Holly was. My jaw legitimately dropped. Just such an amazing look. At this point I look forward to her blizzcon looks just as much as the gameplay reveals.
yeah things were easier when you were a kid, but not always. yeah you didn't have 24/7 news access so you weren't AS informed, but you still knew the big bads going on. What you do know 100% is that you survived.
Less sure of that fact with satellites beaming the sun back to earth.
I think an under-analyzed facet to "longing for the past" is that ya know how it turned out. Things were ALSO bad then, but obv you survived it. It's easy to see the racism, classism, etc. in a Boomer longing for the 50s but I think for a lot of GenX and younger, it's "I lived, in my shitty apt."
