Apparently the odds of a manaphy egg hatching a manaphy instead of a phione in PokeRogue is 1/8, and I've hatched 16 so far, all phiones. 11.8% odds. Am annoyed lol

Apparently the ballroom budget has ballooned to $300M. He is siphoning off so much cash, I fucking guarantee it

Thank you, national guard, for getting rid of all the crime in DC (except my car getting stolen at some point in the past 60 hours)

Just woke up from a dream where someone spoiled the new season of Hazbin Hotel, and one of the spoilers was that Wile E. Coyote fucked Meowth all the way down to the ninth circle of hell

@maryltrump.bsky.social I've read your book to your uncle over a 1500W loudspeaker in lafayette square twice in the last week, can I get a bag, or permission to sell a recording of it as an audiobook?

I need a compilation of clips of Stephen Colbert and/or Jimmy Kimmel saying mean things about Trump.
I've recently taken to noise protests outside the white house, and I'm focusing on things that will specifically upset him to play over my 1500W loudspeaker.
Anyone got any playlists for me?

@piatpod.bsky.social If y'all venmo me $200 I'll play the Frank Bourassa episode of Citation Needed on a 1500W loudspeaker for the Secret Service police outside the white house RIGHT NOW

He plans to test their "warrior ethos" by making each of them swear an oath to blow into his car's breathalyzer interlock for him whenever he asks them to

An actual measured, bold, and empathetic take from the guy I followed for his smooth brain takes after his name came up in a weird dream I had?

Unfollowed.

(Not really, I'm very happy to see you taking this stance; keep it up, Will!)
The main issue in America now is freedom of speech - not in the “cancel culture” way that our political class has whined about for years, but in the fundamental “can the government tell you what to believe and punish you for disagreeing with it way” that the Constitution actually controls.
“I’m emotionally shellshocked right now,” said one professor in the Texas Tech system. “What does it say about academic freedom? It says we don’t have it.”

There is one hard and fast rule when it comes to copyright infringement. You don't fuck with mice. Mickey and Pikachu are off limits. Were they pissed that Disney pushed back on the Kimmel thing so they decided to poke the 'Chu instead? Did they think famously litigious Nintendo WON'T sue them?

The breeding center is like a pokemon spa

... one with a very happy ending

It's always jarring how comfortable they are with showing guns in the OG pokemon anime

The fact that Giovanni hasn't fired Jessie and James is a weirdly strong testament to how robust Japanese labor laws are

More pokemon. Paras episode was interesting, with Meowth simping for Cassandra. Jigglypuff episode is full of the writer's barely disguised fetish
September 20, 2025 at 7:05 PM
Pikachu is now noticeably less chonky than he was in the beginning of the episode

The only stigma involving carrying Narcan should be when I stigma Narcan in someone's nose 🥁 (there's no cymbal emoji)

I'll see myself out

I literally followed this dude cause I had a dream that a former student of mine referenced being his daughter, and then stayed for some of the most garbage takes I've ever seen.

You never disappoint, yet somehow, simultaneously, never fail to disappoint, Will.

Way to be.
We don’t have a full picture. But many people on here have been very eager to declare him a groyper based on second-hand counterintuitive deep readings of the memes he used, while ignoring who he killed, the most obvious surface-level reading of his language, and a reported anti-Trump statement.
What IS the most straightforward interpretation? I don't see the facts that have been made public adding up to anything other than "we don't have the full picture of his motivation yet."

I literally just realized why sheer force is called that, cause it's the opposite of serene grace

More pokemon, more anti capitalist messaging. Wildlife fucking up a power plant by bogging down water flow, funnily enough. (Grimer in, I believe, Gringey town?)

Also, it seems like the lesson is that pollution makes your population depressed, pretty forward thinking for 1997

Fuck it, I'll start my pokemon anime thoughts as a thread
That raft they landed on seems really well constructed
September 13, 2025 at 2:13 AM
Should I be posting these thoughts as replies in a single thread, instead of individual skeets?

God that phrasing conjures quite the image

Also Meowth with "I hate water! Especially WET water!"

Iconic

Why did they not tie themselves to the water pokemon BEFORE Charmander started to burn through the hull? They're rushing to tie themselves as the water rushes in
