Dear Wonder Studios and director Dev Walker: Homer didn’t need Grok. You do.

We were cheated out of Mass Effect 5. BUT… we do get a kinda-sorta mighta-been taste of the ME5 soundtrack, courtesy of @awintory.bsky.social, who was lobbying for the gig.

ooOOooOOoOOOOooo... NOW I bet voters have buyer's remorse!

Who else started the morning by trying real hard to vaporize their protagonist? #amwriting #scifi

Oh, with that cabinet, I think he knows already.

Adios, Walter Koenig. My parents where waiting for teenage me at the Red Lion Inn during TimeCon (big before ComicCon), and they saw Mr. Koenig on a lobby payphone. They just stared... never saw someone from TV/movies in real life before. He noticed, bowed graciously to them, and went on his way.

The thing to remember about the 1% is that they are severely outnumbered. And most people don’t like them.

People are going to come after this guy for worshiping the wrong Jesus. But this is a good approach to the question. He doesn't understand trans people, and he doesn't feel he needs to in order to treat them with human decency. This should be baseline.

Reb, with another all-time banger that's going to end up in a lot of YouTube "Top Ten Funniest Deaths" videos.

“Liberals are the new racists” is what old white people say after someone’s called out their blatant racism.

You don't need a pardon unless you've broken the law.

I maintain that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is not an actual game so much as a tech platform where Ubi experiments with new innovations before rolling them out to other development pipelines.

Rowling *never* writes about women’s rights, workplace discrimination or the threats to women from predatory men. I tracked her posts for five months: Well over 200 hateful transphobic smears. Not a single post about women’s actual concerns or needs None

What ho! #SciFiFri, is it? I say! That's just a lovely thingamajumble... truly inspiring in the old gray matter! We should have some #scifiart and tea and then, well, I don't know... what's the Queen up to? Credits: Beau Cardwell Korie Cull Ana Mitrovic Ben Lo #scifi

This is why we create.

Funny how this is coming from Captain Mullet and not an official White House spokesperson. There's ZERO chance Trump would let anyone else take credit, even if Melania did something useful. This is her team going rogue. Because this would make her more eligible for the Nobel Peace Prize than him.

The second I heard this concept, I was all, California will pick Hawaii. But Oregon and Washington choosing each other is perfect (Seattle and Portland share the same vibe). And ALL Minnesota’s neighbors choosing it while they’re all CANADA, baby! …is quite something.

Canada really pouncing on its hero arc, innit?

Not for nothing, but I would've likely played Mass Effect Universe (or whatever it was eventually called) and payed for all kinds of season passes to keep playing it. (It's been verified as legit, though I expect a few elements in it are FPO.) www.reddit.com/r/masseffect...

Were orphans and nuns too expensive?

I just saw that hyper-offensive Microsoft ad where the lameass white dude steals the black dude’s work and accolades with AI… during an episode of Abbott Elementary. That dissed AI in schools.

Adios, Tom Skerritt. Kinda what happens when a character actor gets the lead roles. After years growing up on Kirk, he showed me that sometimes, the captain is just a guy who’s way out of his depth. That was amazing. And he did that a lot.

I heard "new sidequests" and was already mentally re-downloading because friends, I already did all the existing sidequests, and main quests, and DLC, and...

GOOD. Tarantino's needed someone to edit him way, WAY down since... I'll say, every movie he's made post-Jackie Brown.

Uh... spoiler... he forges the One Ring. The clue is in the title.

I have made… GOULASH. #food

Adios, BioWare. Mass Effect is my game. Even Andromeda. Tali's my girl. Mordin's my boy. The Tempest is one of the coolest spaceships ever. I punched the reporter, didn't lose anyone on the suicide mission, chose humanity. No regrets. Thank you, BioWare, for all that and so much more.

I really do feel for Zelenskyy. Not only has he been fighting a Russian invasion for over four years, he's got to pretend every moment of every day that America is an ally and partner, that Trump's great and had done him great favors. Calling Trump out once would end any pretext of support.

In honor of Vivek Ramaswamy once again demonstrating what a repulsive sleezebag he truly is, I repost this:

I no-shit just got an election text from some chunk who's boasting about his endorsement from Andrew Yang. Which is handy, actually, because I just pulled out my sample ballot and put a BIG-ASS X through his name.

$80 billion in losses is undoubtedly the "?" before "Profit."

Well, Tornado Alley, if you aren't well and truly fucked by 2028, you might want to reconsider your electoral choices. Because your federal taxes are paying for a ballroom.

Every time they've got a riser of Trump supporters behind him at a Trump rally -- to maintain the impression of big crowds -- I always imagine the vetting process. It frequently involves deafness, low reading comprehension, and people who reflexively smile when made uncomfortable. And racism.

Respectfully disagree. Pizza, too. Though for very different reasons, obvs.

It's always either "spoiler-free," "mild spoilers," or "massive spoilers." I think that leaves a serious gap in the spoiler ecosystem for a medium-spoilers level.

Congrats to our neighbors to the North! That 77/23 blowout to shut down the separatists down is just what you needed. We’re hoping to do the same down here. Though our numbers are closer to 67/33.

When I was there, it was settled philosophy that a four-figure price tag was a console's death sentence. Because a $600 launch price sunk the PS3 for the first 4-5 years of its lifecycle. And honestly? They never figured out a solid argument for "Why upgrade to PS5?" This will be much tougher.

So, it’s Brexit Vote Day in Alberta, Canada, and I saw a headline that said the separatists were convinced they’ll win because Canadians love Trump and America so much. Which made me wonder if Canada has its own version of The Onion.

We have reached that supremely ugly time of year where it’s still dark when the alarm goes off.

According to Tommy, I have not disavowed the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and it is therefore likely that I am myself an Evil Mutant.

Nothing says “Support for Israel” quite like “Elect who I want or I’ll leave your country to the wolves.”

I got some fucking NEIGHBORS, y’all.

There's a reason why, even after he left, whenever those of us rank-and-file at PlayStation expensed a dinner, the first toast was always to "Poppa Kaz."

Ima shoooooot things.

You bastard... you're right.

It's been a BUSY #SciFiFri morning, folks... spent all morning planting explosives on the sun, and you would not believe how complicated that is. But the good news is you should be seeing the results in 8 minutes and 20 seconds! Credits: Alex Jay Brady Daniel Dana Josh Judd Angel Alonso #scifi

I'm not saying I can see The Future, but I am hearing that "Zacharia" is a new unit of incompetence measurement.
