Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not
A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live. "This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario." The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World. A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?" NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers." A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD." Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version." PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands." A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

Being a product-line manager is weird, because dealing with releases at all stages of their lives makes me feel like Doctor Manhattan.

The least believable episodes of DOCTOR WHO that I ever saw were the ones that talked about tunnels under Florida. I literally needed to pause the episode and walk away for a few minutes as I yelled at the screen and processed it all.

Oh for fuck sake. How is anyone still falling for this bullshit? You can’t just dig tunnels in Florida. Our unofficial state fish is the sink hole. Anyway. RIP Harry Potter land, swallowed by Elon Musk’s giant unfinished hole in the ground probably.

Munchkin Gloom, 65% Off Today Only!
Today's Fork Ice February fundraising special is a STEAL - only $10.49 for a copy of Munchkin Gloom!

It's a stand-alone game, but the compatible mechanics mean you could combine it with other Gloom family games and expansions. This deal lasts only until midnight tonight, and the proceeds go to help Minnesotans deal with the federal munchkins that have been raiding …

I never noticed this either.
A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?" And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards." And you know what? He is.' Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

Another morning, another Fork Ice February sale to help fund the needs of Minnesotans impacted by the ongoing federal invasion of our state!

Also, we passed another $500 mark so I need to go pick another nonprofit to donate to.

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane
Post from r/crochet that says "mods are gone. All hail Mr. Nipples" and its a picture of the most disgusting crocheted doll/creature thats pink and has a creepy smile and horns and big pink nipples. It's truly horrifying

Ugh. Last night's midnight Fork Ice sale went live on schedule, but the blog post did not -- it must have disappeared in the court of restoring backups to recover from the hack of our website. So I had to reconstruct it just now this morning.

The most-fantastic element from GODZILLA (2014) is that Zip disks from a decade-plus prior could be read and have data retrieved.
krakoan-lorax.bsky.social [No//Thrones] @krakoan-lorax.bsky.social · 12d
Likewise, the most fantastic element of The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) remains that the entire world listened to scientists and mobilized a swift & effective response to an imminent catastrophe.

The most fantastic element of "Superman" (2025) remains that hard-hitting, fact-based journalism can expose a billionaire's crimes and lead immediately to his arrest.

Something I've been thinking about for a long time: Domestic thrillers now make up a huge share of scripted film and TV. While historically they symbolized women's oppression, more recently they resonate as a metaphor for a society where everyone fears enemies infiltrating their safest spaces
