Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs.
at some point I set this anigif as my bsky profile header image just to see if it would be animated; it wasn't, obviously, but then I just left it there
Y'know, as a kid I briefly thought I wanted to be an art restorer like Dana Barrett in Ghostbusters 2 and, as I use those special crayons & markers to fill/tint some scuffed-up wood at 2 in the morning, I feel like I am really getting to achieve that dream

NEW: One of Pope Leo XIV’s top U.S. allies, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, is calling for the defunding of ICE.
Tobin says the “lawless organization” is a “machinery of death.”
This marks the first time a senior Church leader has called for ICE to be defunded. More are expected in the coming days.

I recently explained to a friend why I’m still optimistic. Sensitization is the process of becoming *allergic* to something from repeated exposure. “So the process of sensitization and desensitization is the same,” I said incredulously, “with two opposing outcomes. I pray more people are sensitized”

Larry “Oracle” Ellison has spoken publicly at length about his plans to combine ALL data sources to create a preemptive portrait of ALL citizens to preempt and crush dissent
A reminder that one of the new owners of TikTok is Larry Ellison who also now owns CBS News…
I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

I regret to inform7 you ma'am but your son is dead. Your son is found in the Grey Hallway. The description of your son is "a poor soul who died in these hallowed halls." The son is wearing a backpack. The backpack is openable and closed.

“Maybe I’ll just die, how bout that” makes me think he’s further along in the book’s creative process than anyone realizes
George R.R. Martin has said that if he never completes Game of Thrones sequel Winds of Winter (or the book after that), there's no plan for anyone else to step in. Instead, his Song of Ice and Fire series simply "won't be finished."

I'm so tired I just accepted "Wouldn't It Be Nice" IS a Beatles song, then thought it was a good time for a Beach Boys joke. In other words, I quote-posted a post and proceed to make the exact same joke. Good night

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox!
I made it for a game, but it's free to use.
I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble.
If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :)

I found out that you can reuse a decades old calendar if its year’s dates line up with the current year’s, so this year I got a lovely 1998 Xena: Warrior Princess calendar. The way they added show events into it is cracking me up.

I assume everyone walks outside without a coat singing "we like to potty! we like, we like to potty!" at their dog, and then proceeds to hum the entire Vengaboys song while shaking ass, to entertain/confuse the dog into going out into the cold yard. Right? Right?

“How do you radicalize middle-aged white women? You throw tear gas at them”
Separate from the obvious misogyny of the last few days, it’s been striking to watch the right wing media apparatus really confront the role of normie middle-aged women as a leading and increasingly radical force of opposition to trump
