Harry Potter is a mediocre, and honestly pretty poorly-written, series of young adult novels that enriches one of the most openly evil and transphobic people on the planet, who then uses that money to harms trans people.

Stop supporting it and her. Go read better books. Have some standards.

I asked all the trick-or-treaters if they wanted some “Goodies” and when they said yes, I gave them woodblock prints of Goody Proctor and they walked away in silence, deeply moved by the reminder of the prevalence of hysterical persecution.

wait wait I can make this stat stupider:

there have only been 2 World Series games this long. They were both game 3, both dodgers, both at home, both won by a walk off home run from a white guy whose name is an alliteration
dodgers 2-0 in 18 inning games in game 3 of the World Series on their home turf

This is what I’ve been reporting on for months. Agencies are taking money and repurposing it against Congressional instructions, and there’s no way to know what they are taking the money from or what they are using it for.
Billions in Taxpayer Dollars Have Become Virtually Untraceable
The Trump administration’s aggressive approach to overhauling the executive branch has obscured how federal dollars are actually being spent — even for the members of Congress.

Love to see Silksong, Hades 2, and Ghost of Yotei all taking highly acclaimed games and giving them better, woman-led sequels in the same month.

Wish I still lived in Minneapolis so I could vote for Dewayne
fiery speech from dewayne davis addressing dinner du nord, looking at photos of who was at the table and not recognizing the mayor’s friends from when he goes to the food shelf, contrasted with the encampments and shootings, who is being invited to the table?

dewayne the pastor in full effect 🔥

The movies don't really get into it, but it's worth remembering that Denethor went crazy because he spent too much time doomscrolling on the Palantír and it cooked his brain

My point is that the siege of Gondor would have gone very differently if Denethor had occasionally touched grass

Anyone else have privacy concerns about the "new" messaging platform built into Spotify?

I just sent a friend an album using in-app messaging and it had retained a history of music we had sent to each other previously OUTSIDE of the app

Happy 3rd Anniversary to Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

I fully recommend playing Xenoblade Chronicles 1/2/3/X on Switch or Switch 2.

Monolith Soft Tokyo is currently developing a new RPG for Switch 2.
