The personification of death as a skeleton in a robe is playing a claw game, with a person in the claw and being carried towards the prize shoot. The word "Jackpot" appears in bold white letters above the image. There is artist attribution for the original image in the lower right corner that reads "NaolitoArt.com"

Post an unusual sign if you feel like it
Yellow sign with black text on a concrete barricade that reads "YOUR LIFE AND OTHERS ARE IN DANGER IF YOU PASS THIS POINT". Clearly visible beyond the point marked by the sign are multiple families with strollers and no less than two inflated bounce houses.

Oh good, here’s the same chart with updated data. Shockingly, Trump’s overall dropped into the -10 range right the middle of KAG coverage. Weird!
Chart showing Trump approval on various subjects and overall rating, with the section corresponding to when KAG was in the news highlighted and showing a precipitous drop in immigration and overall approval.

LRP: Matt Yglesias remains the dumbest mother fucker in the political commentary class, evidence #55772905
G Elliott Morris @gelliottmorris.com Here's the one chart you need to see: - Abrego Garcia deported - SCOTUS ruling gets press - News coverage shot up - Google search traffic shot up - Trump approval fell down and then - News media moved on - Trump immigration approval went back up Exactly as predicted by the survey experiment. Chart showing that when KAG was in the news Trump’s approval tanked, and then went back up once he was no longer being talked about directly

Everybody shut the fuck up, we're getting a remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics, and this is how Matsuno announced it
FINAL FANTASY TACTICS THE IVALICE CHRONICLES Nearly 30 years ago, the collapse of Japan's bubble economy engulfed the nation's financial institutions in mountains of bad debt, triggering a wave of corporate bankruptcies, a sudden and extreme rise in unemployment rates, and stagnation of Japanese society as a whole. It was an era when many were robbed of hope, when dreams were measured by their price tag. Against this historical backdrop, I crafted a story. It was the story of Ramza, a young man who fought tirelessly against the entrenched social class system. It was the story of Delita, who sought to take advantage of this confusion and despair to advance his own social position. It was a story of a peculiar destiny, in which friendship and betrayal intertwine. And now, in 2025 - a time when inequality and division are still deeply rooted in our society - I offer this story once again. The will to resist is in your hands.

Steja Lutana, dryad warrior who was raised by humans, fell in love on two separate occasions to women who sacrificed themselves for their causes. I want to give her Zendaya’s outfit, but this is the actual one she’d wear, it has just the right amount of “what an inhuman mind thinks humans wear.”
Mindy Kaling at the Met Gala. She is wearing a black suit with gold embellishments, with a white shirt and tie. The jacket has white cuffs and lapels. Her belt is a broad red sash that flows into a long red train with white border.

Okay, so this chart keeps showing up in my skyline, and idiots like Yglesias keep saying it means Dems should drop immigration as a topic. Here’s the thing: they are incredibly wrong about that reaction, and not just because, ya know, it’s important to care about other people. [1/2]
Matt Yglesias being wrong about things, like usual. The tweet reads: “Everyone should think about which topics they want to raise the salience of and why.” and includes an image of a chart showing the only thing Trump polls better than his overall approval rating on is immigration.
