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

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

CHILI CRISP FOCACCIA Lao Gan Ma or no one! 😤

Meth futures rise on anticipation of payouts to January 6th felons.

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

GNU Terry Pratchett, whose words will echo long after we, and our children, and our children’s children have moved on thank you, as always, for making me a better person (quote from Reaper Man)

There is no justice. There is just us.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

This is one of the things that's often missing from online discussions of anti-capitalist theory. The question that actually determines our socioeconomic status and fate is this: Do you live off what you're paid for your own labor, or off the profits you draw from the labor of others?

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

Discworld QOTD, from Small Gods “Vorbis liked to see properly guilty consciences. That was what consciences were for. Guilt was the grease in which the wheels of the authority turned.”

important to reiterate from time to time: "artificial intelligence" does not exist. there is no sentient artificial being. no threepio. no demerzel. no terminator. what the tech publicists call "a.i." is just big, crappy databases and mindless and often incorrect autocorrect.

#Cats are cats. Not surprising that Jaguars would like mats. So cute (and effective for hair collection). 🧪 #science Trail cameras catch jaguars in Brazil acting just like house cats – and scientists are using the behaviour to protect them | Discover Wildlife share.google/pKZqYqPNO6RR...

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort. On the day before the election, we stand on the verge of toppling a political dynasty and winning a city we can afford. But we can only do it with you. zohranfornyc.com/gotv

I'm marrying some despicable trash fucker's perfect waifu. I took her away from you on purpose.

RFK Jr's "MAHA" report came out last week. It misinterpreted data, had broken links to some citations, and cited 7 articles that don't exist. That last one is a hallmark of AI hallucinations. How much of the MAHA report was AI generated? 🤔 www.notus.org/health-scien...

Good morning, NYC. We have some very exciting news to share.

We can beat Cuomo. In the Democratic primary, rank Mamdani, Lander, Myrie, Adrienne Adams, and Ramos (or a fifth person who IS NOT CUOMO). This is winnable.

I’ve been sent this video a bunch of times, so let’s look at curving arrows!

It’s almost like woman are humans.. who should receive dignity and compassion. Let’s not congratulate them for doing something they should have done from the beginning. Y’all. Between this and the “water based cooking”. This is 2025. I think I’m done with people.

This is so fucking good

Ahhhhh Murderbot trailer is giving me so much happiness right now. The tone feels just right. AND THERE IS SANCTUARY MOON OMG www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEio...

“Syria’s path today of becoming something different is steep, difficult, and completely uncertain, but it must involve more than just ceasing to be Assad’s Syria – it must also cease to be the country of ‘no-one.’” ✍Yassin Swehat bit.ly/42gUNJl #Syria #AlJumhuriya

“Our editorial desk received a considerable number of messages from writers and journalists who had worked with us under pseudonyms, asking us to publish their real names on their articles. Every single message felt like experiencing the fall of the regime all over again.”

Hello. I'm a CIO in a manufacturing firm. I've dealt with supply chain issues my whole 20 year career. This is a great thread.

Okay lets game this out: You are a Nintendo employee given unlimited funds and authority to move Switch 2 production to the US. No new factories, that's going to take way too long, you need to work with existing American Contract Manufacturing capacity. How fast can you do it? 1/x

Is executing 15 paramedics & aid workers from short range and then burying them and the red crescent ambulance they were in in a mass grave a war crime? Surprise, surprise, the Western world would like you to think it depends on whether its Israel doing it again. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

one of my favorite days on twitter, as the entire slumbering giant of the Discworld fandom rose as one to back @rhi.bsky.social and tell these people to go directly to hell
