@lecinenerd.bsky.social So, I have this mental list of movies from 302010, In and Out finally was purchased... I was a little surprised to see that it says 1997 on the back of the box. How is a conversation from a podcast I listened to 8 years, and 4 kids ago still influencing my purchasing?

I know this might not be the point, but could these people support their local bottle shops. Maybe its the Wisconsinite in me, but they wouldn't need to pull out their IDs if they supported the small business for alcohol.

Leavitt: "You need an ID to go and purchase alcohol. You need an ID to go to the library and check out a book. So the president thinks you should have an ID to vote in our nation's elections."

referring to metroidvanias as "hollowslop" to simultaneously piss off people who like metroidvanias, people who like hollow knight, people who want a better genre name for "metroidvania", people who are sick of the word slop being misused, and gradius fans who want to see more checkpoint recoveries

My memory is bad, whatever happened at the end of Don Quixote?

Trump: "Today, I'm playing the best course I think in the world. Turnberry. Even though I own it, it's probably the best course in the world. And I look over the horizon and I see 9 windmills at the end of the 18th. I say, isn't that a shame?"

Though Miller's comment is about the Twin Cities, I am reminded of this wonderful article from a few years back about a different Midwest "terrible city" onmilwaukee.com/articles/ter... Which I am due to reread now.

Stephen Miller: "We have communities all across this nation that 20 years ago, before the era of open borders, were completely peaceful, completely stable. Look at a place like Minneapolis. Post mass migration they're unsafe, they're violent, you cannot use the public parks."

Trump to UAE president: "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound but groceries are down."

I've been watching a Kikkoman plant being built for the past year. It won't be ready until sometime in 2026. A committed car factory sounds worthless to me at the moment.

Trump: "We have at least 11 committed, massive car factories that are gonna be built. That are in the process of being built. Some have actually started."

I can guarantee you that no, I will not be buying it off of amazon.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Miller: "If you had a choice between a doll from China that might have lead paint from it that is not as well constructed, as a doll made in America that has a highly environmental and regulatory standard & those two products are both on Amazon, that yes, you probably would be willing to pay more."

It’s disappointing but not surprising that this particular [checks notes] national security advisor to the President of the United States has no idea what he’s talking about.

It's probably been 5 years since I returned to Yarnham. Guess, I am digging out my PS4 later.

Elon's entanglements in the Trump White House are a boon for his businesses. For example, he can now deploy DOGE to target an FAA office that has repeatedly tried to rein in SpaceX following explosions and other incidents.

POTUS spent approximately $17M in taxpayer dollars to attend the SuperBowl. Where’s DOGE on this waste? Meanwhile, a dozen eggs at my local grocery is going for $7.49 because bird flu is still spreading. CDC and NIH are facing massive funding cuts.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I’ll just say it because it’s the holidays. No matter what’s going on in your life or how hard things might be, I want you to always remember that Jerry Rice & Nitus’ Dog Football is $0.89 on Steam and still uses the original Nintendo Wii box art.

there’s a discourse going around today about why western devs can’t make a game as good as chrono trigger and i think it’s worth saying that a lot of japanese devs can’t make a game as good as chrono trigger either

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are

TheDesk.net@thedesk.net

The $82.5 million sale of "Hot Ones" studio First We Feast is part of a broader strategy at BuzzFeed to shift away from human editors, writers and content producers in favor of artificial intelligence, which result in "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."
