just learning about the united states democratic party

it is pretty darkly funny seeing posts like URGENT!!!! it is SUNDAY EVENING you must PUT DOWN YOUR DINNER and call your senator IMMEDIATELY to politely request they not press the big button marked "fuck you". this will not actually stop them from pressing the fuck you button. functioning democracy

I'm crying

If you thought Frankenstein's Tower in the Guillermo del Toro movie looked cool, check out the real-world inspiration behind it...

Shout out to the spineless fucks out there trying their hardest to double my health insurance costs.

Delayed air travel is probably the only element of the government shutdown that actually inconvenienced dems in Congress, unsurprising that they folded basically immediately

Oscar Isaac says he is open to returning to STAR WARS but is doubtful about Disney after they suspended Jimmy Kimmel. “I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great”

The rights for Roger Rabbit have reverted back to author Gary K. Wolf 🐰 “I now have back the rights to all my characters, all my books. I can, basically, do my own Roger Rabbit projects"

The Supreme Court has rejected a call to overturn same-sex marriage rights in the U.S.

the democrats over years have intentionally tried to cultivate a base of suburban home owning high engagement liberals who watch a lot of TV news and can and will max out an ActBlue donation and never considered once that they too might one day start to notice patterns of behavior

there is no force on earth, not even the grandest wealth and state power over others, that is more of an influence on senate dems thinking than vacation plans

Guillermo del Toro says he has seen all 3 ‘AVATAR’ films and calls them “masterpieces” “I know where it’s going and I think it’s going to surprise a lot of people… I can say there are very few Americans that have created an entire mythology” (Source: Konbini/TikTok)

“We have Lord Vader’s guarantee that this deal will not be altered any further.” – Senate Democrats

Golden hour and the pump post lift was too good to pass up feeling proud about

genuinely worried the internet is about to be abandoned as a place unbearably hostile to human connection and creativity

We've added 100 new CDs to our collection of press CDs from GamePro magazine, with thousands of pieces of game art, screenshots, and more So, what's the GamePro press CD collection? We put together an explainer

Daily motivations in this economy?

Sunday evening was lovely, needed a bit of paint therapy after the game today…

‘Christy’ starring Sydney Sweeney opens to $1.3M at the domestic box office • Top 10 worst opening weekend ever for a film in over 2,000 theaters • ~$646 per-theater average

Hi-Fi Rush's Soundtrack Delisted From All Major Streaming Platforms Without Warning (OST still on Steam) www.thegamer.com/hi-fi-rush-s... also worth noting that the game was removed from PC stores (stores that sell Steam codes) last month. Not sure anyone else noticed at the time

Putting these kids to work and turning this place into an esports training facility.

they are not sending their best

The last few years of getting a zillion "great" offers for "we know what's holding you back on youtube book a meeting now" or "do a video and we'll give you $2 every time someone installs raid shadow legends" has led me to a single finding: anyone with a .gg domain is probably running scams.

A reminder that "centrist left" means "in favour of the people at the expense of the rich, unless it benefits the rich not to be" and "centrist right" means "in favour of the rich at the expense of the people, but eloquently".

my office now has a Famicom Zone

New 'Pluribus' promo featuring the cast from the 'Breaking Bad' universe

"Per compliance policy, certain AI-generated fields cannot be updated by clinical staff" is a managerial decision that will lead to prolonged suffering and preventable death. Having to escalate these fuck-ups to be reviewed by higher levels within the bureaucracy is a waste of time and resources.

The sad violins documentary about how sad it made Israeli soldiers to do genocidal war crimes for more than two years straight because "an order is an order" will of course be prohibited by Israeli censors. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

China has a huge LBGTQ population (obviously) and acceptance among the population (especially youth) has grown significantly over the past three decades since decriminalization, yet the government still drags its feet over legal recognition and protection. Hopefully that changes in the future.

Todd Howard says ‘The Elder Scrolls 6’ is ‘still a long way off’ The game was announced in 2018 (via GQ)

How can they possibly be going under they're selling dollar chunks of plastic for like 15 dollars USD

I’ve seen a lot of people say recently that narrative games can’t actually make player choices meaningfully matter because of exponential scaling issues. To that I say, the first episode of Scarlet Hollow is free. And if you remain a disbeliever, you can buy the rest of the game and keep playing.

ucupaint 2.4.0 is out with improved alpha workflow, better smart mask support, easier floater baking, decal constraints and more! ⭐

Mentioning this again because it's worth it: freeze your marinara sauce in an ice tray and keep the cubes in a container in your freezer. Then just heat up 3 to 4 per serving of spaghetti. Store bought sauce in a jar works but here's where I blow your mind with how easy it is to make your own sauce

‘ORPHAN 3’ has begun filming. The film is titled ‘ORPHANS’

Elle Fanning tells us how she learned to speak Yautja for her role in ‘PREDATOR: BADLANDS’ “For me, it was the challenge of also memorizing [Dek’s lines] to an extent because he would be speaking in Yautja then I would have to respond in English.”

To be clear, folks who grew up in nature definitely get on a mystical nature kick but it sounds totally different. A forest isn't a place they associate with peaceful serenity, it is a place where life and death weave an invisible dance connecting everything past and present; powerful but dangerous.

It never occurred to me that you could make an entire animated series that looks like a late-gen PS1 cutscene, but it rules??

Todd Howard: The Elder Scrolls 6 is “still a long way off” "I like to just announce stuff and release it. My perfect version – and I’m not saying this is going to happen – is that it's going to be a while and then, one day, the game will just appear." www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/fall...

It is somewhat ironic that China heavily benefited from the US led post war order and is now fighting to uphold and reform said legacy institutions, while many westerners believe that China actually wants the US to collapse If anything they want a truly stable multipolar world rather than hegemony

It's hard to create foliage or organic models using SketchUp (which I use for all my assets and games). So I've made a little @unity.com tool that allows me to adjust some sliders to generate plants and such! You'll soon see the first results in MakeRoom, and my game assets 🌿

Is there a video game you loved as a kid that you think gamers should try today?

The Supreme Court has rejected efforts to overturn same-sex marriage rights in the U.S.

Are you ready to put wheels to sand?

So, do we all agree that the Democrats breaking the line on this shutdown are almost certainly doing so as preselected sacrifices on behalf of their party because none of them are up for reelection this cycle and all of their personal explanations suck?

btw if you need a proper introduction to PBR texturing with ucupaint I wrote a very detailed guide a few month ago in case you missed it:

I think the important lesson to take from the Tea Party/MAGA over the last two decades is that it makes more sense to take over a political party than it does to split off and create a new one. Threaten to primary every Democratic seat you can and then follow through.

I've been a Predator fan since I saw the original as a kid, and honestly? Predator: Badlands absolutely ruled. I never thought I'd like the idea of a Yautja as the protagonist, but it worked for me. This was a really fun time in the theater! I'll definitely be picking up a physical copy of this.

oh of course lets just blame democrats🙄🙄🙄 as usual🙄

got reminded how fucking good the intro to Return to Zork is. just a suckerpunch of a transition

he makes me laugh almost every single day, he's such a wonderful little doofus ❤️

Nintendo launched a Switch 2 game compatibility website! It allows you to search any game to check the backwards compatibility status. Mario Galaxy for example shows "Supported – Game behavior is consistent with Nintendo Switch." switch-software-compatibility.nintendo.com/en-US

You can always tell when folks who didn't grow up in nature are getting into a mystical nature kick because they talk about forests like they're these serene, perfect, peaceful places. No friend, nature is scary and tense as fuck and you're looking at a place where things live and die BY THE MINUTE.

First look at ‘EVERYBODY WANTS TO FUCK ME’, starring Taron Egerton and Jessica Henwick. The film is described as a comedy thriller set in the world of modern dating.
