Yo @NintendoAmerica and @Nintendo you're ok with them using Pokemon in regards to ICE like this? You'll sue companies into oblivion for emulating but are ok with Pokemon being used in a way that shows not all are welcome and grotesque arrests?

@tmuxvim I have no idea what they use. I used to edit videos on a Windows program, back in early 00's which of course took FOREVER! I'm not on TikTok so I'm out of the loop on their editing stuff.

millennial confession, i have no idea how people cut and edit videos on a cell phone. tiktoks with cut scenes, i have no idea what software people use for this

@BERSERKER_THiiS Oh probably 😅🤣. But now we'll all get the same amount of points, I think, and I'm in the US so I won't see what the new trials are until tomorrow morning. 🙃

@ResaPixie I think the trick is to try and be in Daredevil 1 the last week of the season then sweat it for the 3x promotion! 👀🤣

Waaaahey! 🥳 Finished up the season of trials in Hotshot 😎 - Arc Raiders

@BERSERKER_THiiS DUDE!!!! THE FUCK??!!!!

Embark really think they’re funny

@TheCartelDel Man as an avid reader, I cannot honestly give advice on this other than find a genre you enjoy, ask for recommendations in that genre, and pick up one that speaks to you.

Not to shame anyone, but I came across a teenager talking about enjoying reading books and this top reply really cut deep

So many of us are losing friends to brainrot. They communicate in TikToks and reels. They do not read. They do not think. Their attention span has dwindled to mere seconds. This new generation thinks in memes, viral sounds, and sound bites; their opinions are not their own, but a mixture of whatever slop the algorithm is serving today. It doesn't have to be this way. Always ask yourself who benefits from you being illiterate and having the attention span of a goldfish. It's not you. We have more power than we think. But we must get our minds back.

They flood the zone to create confusion. Normalize the unthinkable. Gaslight in plain sight. They don’t even care if you see through it. They’ve got some gall. Outlast them. That’s resistance.

@Hazy_VT I didn't touch anime again until college. Manga cuz a friend of mine handed me FRUBA! In AZ it was a mainstream. Everyone traded their Pokémon cards at meet ups at the theater & watched Sailor Moon. Moved to ID & was made fun of for liking anime including SW it was a "guy" thing

Tell me you are Gen Z without telling me you are Gen Z.... Growing up in the 90s was awful when it came to being a gamer and watching anime. As a girl who loved both I was severely bullied for it. I would hide in the library and play on my Gameboy or PSP (in high school) to stay away from them. We were branded as nerds and loser for being gamers, literally ostracized for it. We've come a long way since but refusing to acknowledge that it's happened to so many just shows how young you are and did not grow up during that time.

@emperium108 @DanMcGee33 @GigaBasedDad I couldn't fit the "prince charmings" in my statement. Half the time we don't know much about them other than being a prince and being "good"

@ResaPixie @DanMcGee33 @GigaBasedDad What? That isnt even remotely true. Like aside from Aladdin, Naveen, and Flynn most of the disney 'prince' are literal princes and are generally goody two shoes.

Gaston with the W

@DanMcGee33 @GigaBasedDad "No one fights likes Gaston, takes cheap shots like Gaston..." 😅 since the lyrics in the song scream toxic masculinity! You make a good point oddly because if we look at Disney "princes'," they're usually rouges and thieves because "she can change them."

@GigaBasedDad He was a poster boy for "toxic masculinity".... A man is not allowed to be brave, strong, intelligent and good in the world of Disney

@SussexHenryVIII YUP!!!

Anyone else have an exceptionally right wing algorithm right now?

We need to get loud about this. And fast! Our national forests, clean water, and wildlife are under direct attack. Let’s force Congress to block Trump’s destruction of the Forest Service! #StopIllegalFloridaMaps actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-c…

I guess we all just have to drive the cars we have until they become classics if we don’t want a car that will spy on us. WTF

@skillz17q Is there more to the bill? That seems high for the amount of Dems that voted against it. Like the DHS funding bill, they voted against it because Repubs were trying to add ICE funding this making it not a pure bill. Is this the same case? It isn't a pure bill? Bill link?

We have 268 members of Congress who need to be removed from office for voting AGAINST defunding the kill switch in automobiles. 211 Democrats and 57 Republicans. These parasites do not represent us. It should be very obvious to everybody at this point.

@sonikku956 @estherzelda0514 My brother and his wife were born in '99. They voted for Trump. A friend of mine born in '97 doesn't vote. Most Gen Z don't vote or voted for Trump.

@estherzelda0514 I wish you guys would separate Gen Z into chunks. Gen Z born between 1997 and 2002 aren't anywhere near as responsible for Trump 2 as the younger adult half, or most of Gen X.

Well yeah we had just suffered from Bush crashing the economy and elected the first Black president. We knew it was going to get better. Activists were legalizing weed and gay marriage all over the place. But Gen Z? They liked Trump and helped meme him back into office with extremism and anti-woke hysterics. Ultimately, Millennials didn't have to grapple with the crushing existential realization that as bad as things were, they were not to get worse, because their normies were not morons with zero attention span, and all their activists were not edgelords looking for their next fix of Jewish conspiracy theories.

Did anybody vote for Orwellian surveillance cars? Anybody?

No matter where you stand politically, I think we can all come together and agree that putting spyware in our cars that watches what we do and can decide whether we’re even allowed to drive is a direct violation of our 4th amendment right and absolute tyranny.

@GiboAgain Yes because if I finished the game I finished it. None of this, you didn't 100% EVERY SINGLE ACHIEVEMENT/ TROPHY, means I didn't complete the game 🙄, supposedly.

Anyone else not interested In platinum or 100% achievements on games? Too time consuming for me

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired. The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass. A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed. Everything else was improvised. I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76. What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation. I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one. She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure. The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet. The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent. That's priority. The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago. A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced. That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details. I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column. I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously. 188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken. A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.
