Reminder that there are video games in the MoMA

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_in_the_Museum_of_Modern_Art

The collection includes games like SimCity 2000, Dwarf Fortress, EVE online, and Minecraft.

Its possible. I recall reading somewhere that they regret the ManBearPig episode. Good on them for being able to change and grow.

Still, unfortunately the damage has been done.

South Park has always been Right Wing. Trey and Matt are self proclaimed "Libertarians". There's a significant overlap in the Venn Diagram of Joe Rogan bros and South Park fans. "They make fun of both sides bro" and yet some of their most enduring cultural contributions are downplaying climate change and dehumanizing trans people.

They may clutch their pearls about MAGA now, but their promotion of political apathy among Gen X and Millennial men is part of why we have MAGA.

Ren faires are just an anacronism stew. Maybe some take historical accuracy seriously, but I've been to quite a few and have yet to see one that does. My local one has everything from ancient greece to steampunk Victorians. There's even a Wok themed after Imperial China where these guys would fit right in. You see more fantasy then historical costumes usually anyway.

It's just a place for nerds and weirdos to vibe, buy trinkets, drink, eat fair food, and wear cool costumes.

As Mr Plinkett pointed out over a decade ago, Qui-Gon might as well have just beaten Watto up and stolen the ship part.

What I can never wrap my head around is if Qui-Gon being a dumbass is supposed to be some kind of intentional deconstruction of the Jedi, or if George is just a sloppy screenwriter with questionable ethics. The latter seems more likely, and is supported by Qui-Gon being a force ghost.

Trek is dead. It's legacy will be what it inspires in us.

This made me look up the actual Predator code of Honor and I quote

"Unarmed and/or "innocent" beings may be hunted if they:

Are the specific objective of a hunt."

Sorry Op, you're still screwed.

Jaws is objectively the best choice anyway. Just drive inland.

It took me a minute to realize that little emoji wasn't just a stain on his shirt, because honestly it fits.

In a post on X, Newsom addressed the U.S.'s global trading partners, writing "California is here and ready to talk."

It comes after a Fox News report revealed that Newsom is directing his state to pursue "strategic" relationships with countries announcing retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., urging them to exclude California-made products from those taxes.

The reality if you're working class in America; we're all one really bad day and a few less people caring about us from being homeless.

Lil tiddy supermarket goth girl sounds cute tbh, or maybe I just have a type.

Anyway, girls like this can be a real gem to find if you're a gooner. Their small fan base means if you're not a creep there's a chance of genuine interaction. She'll probably take request and if she likes you might even send you free content.

There weren't enough hand emojis 👋👌, mama Mia's, or references to spaghetti. No wonder he didn't fit in.

Captain America is a weird one to include. Not denying it's propaganda, everything is, but throwing Cap in with copaganda is such a surface level take. He's propaganda for American exceptionalism sure, but also embodies it in an old school New Deal way. The character has been consistently anti-facist over the years.

Imo Iron Man is the much more harmful propaganda. You can pretty much draw a direct line between the characters rise in popularity thanks to the MCU and the rise of Elon Musk.

I’m genuinely curious. Years ago, I was a chubby young pothead who lived on fast food. Taco Bell, McDonald’s, KFC, you name it—I ate it. Back in college, fast food probably made up at least 50% of my diet. And it wasn’t just because it was quick and cheap—I actually enjoyed it.

But these days, I find myself craving it less and less. Besides being more health-conscious, it just doesn’t hit the spot like it used to. It’s more expensive than ever, mostly bland, and I feel terrible after I eat it. So what’s changed? Is it just part of the enshitification of everything? Have I just gotten old, or has fast food really gone downhill?
