I've been lurking since the invite-only beta, but I think it's time to introduce myself. I'm a retro game and Lego enthusiast. Sometimes I'm a Ken doll for my wife's cosplays. I enjoy reading, history, films & television, and comedy. I'm hoping to recapture some of the old bird app vibe here.
Why is AI spitting out junk writing, images, and video when it's supposed to be driving our robot butlers? I want AI doing dishes & cleaning so I can spend time with my family or hobbies. Boston Dynamics showed us Atlas over a decade ago; it's time we get something like that in our homes for chores.

Why are we asking for a public hearing in 2025? [Gestures vaguely to all of social media] He has plenty of options for getting his message to the American people and the world. He could do it today if he wanted.
Jack Smith is asking to testify in an open & PUBLIC hearing because Republicans are lying about his work as Special Counsel.
The truth must come out! Americans deserve transparency & have a right to know what 47, & company, did to incite their insurrection against our country.

Mail call. I backed the Cosmere TTRPG on Kickstarter and it finally arrived. I've never played D&D or any other tabletop role playing games, but I like Brandon Sanderson's books, so I'm hopeful the game will be fun.

There's a lot of infuriating stuff going on right now, so I'm going to unplug for the night and watch Superman on HBO. I think we can all use a little positivity at the moment. Pick a feel good movie and have a good night. Happy Friday.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

/3 There are no moral or norm-based barriers to it trying to do crazy, evil things. But that doesn’t make every “what if the administration does this” scenario equally plausible.
It’s less likely to do complicated things that take careful planning or follow-through, for instance.

Assembled Lego 40769 Sega Genesis Controller. This was a bonus set with recent purchase. The set came with stickers to do the US, UK, and Japanese versions of the controller. The back features a Sonic diorama.

Lego 76328 The Classic TV Series Batmobile. I loved watching the 1966 Batman series as a kid and am excited to add this 1,822 piece build to my collection.

The Mario dev team made the new DK game, and now Sakurai has let us know the Smash Bros team made Kirby Air Riders. I wonder how many other Nintendo teams are trying new IPs on Switch 2. Hopefully the fresh perspectives lead to interesting stories, mechanics, and fun gameplay.

An innocent President would simply release the Epstein Files and demand a full FBI investigation into every Epstein client.
That’s it.
That’s the whole ballgame summed up.

Let me qualify what Josh is saying. It is quite clear that the Constitution requires a census of all persons. It’s quite clear that past Supreme Court cases support this proposition. (For instance, the recent census question case makes no sense if persons doesn’t include immigrants.)

Let me expand on this point. The Constitution is quite clear that you can't distinguish between kinds of persons in running the Census. And that is especially about apportionment for Congress. The original language makes it pretty clear when it talks about "free persons". But the 14th amendment ...
As Wessel states, now bulldozing the Census. It's critical to note that not counting people "in our Country illegally" violates the constitution. It doesn't speak of citizens or legal status, simply "the whole number of free persons".

Not surprising. Remember in 2020 how plain clothes officers smashed windows or threw things to incite violence? Or how pallets of bricks mysteriously appeared in certain neighborhoods? The playbook never changes.

In anticipation of a new Mario Kart game this week, I assembled the Lego Mario Kart set. The spiny shell was a bonus I redeemed when ordering the larger set. The Kart sits on a stand that can tilt and pivot. Mario's head, arms, and thumbs move. This was a fun build and will look great on a shelf.

If games are gonna start costing $90+ again, fine. But they need to start coming with booklets and manuals again too

I saw an article saying Amazon is canceling their Wheel of Time series. I don't think I've ever been so indifferent to a show I watch being canceled. It almost feels like a mercy killing at this point. The story and character changes from the book series were too drastic to keep fans happy.

I opened the app to the end being spoiled. I was initiating upset, but then seeing how awful the ending is made me happy to know I can skip this movie when it comes to Disney+.
It's kind of beautiful how everyone agreed "No spoilers" didn't apply to the changes in the Lilo & Stitch remake and just let everyone know about the garbage ending.

I'm not excited to pay $80 for Nintendo games, but can you imagine paying $80 each year for copy-paste titles like CoD? And then paying for battlepasses and cosmetics on top of that? These companies are losing the plot.

Does anyone else think it odd that we have (in the US at least) health insurance, dental insurance, and vision insurance? Is the condition and potential ailments of our teeth, gums, and eyes somehow not part of our health? Seems kind of backwards to pay for 3 different coverages for our bodies.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Does the White House physician really expect us to believe a damn word in that medical report when it starts out saying tRump is 224 lbs? We can see that pot belly. Unless he's pulling the longest Mrs. Doubtfire or Big Momma's House con on us in history, there is now way he is 224 lbs.

I assembled the Lego Amazing Spider-Man set. This features a brick built 3D Spider-Man crawling out of a frame toward you. The back has 2 mounting pieces so you can hang it on the wall. It is 2099 pieces which I like to think was done as an intentional reference to the Spider-Man 2099 comic series.
