@IanChernencoff @Rainmaker1973 Remember, liberal is an interchangeable word here that leaves the statement true. Try conservatives and it also works. When you identify that hard with any political affiliation, or any ideology, you are fed "facts".

@Rainmaker1973 How do they reconcile the feeding tho? Same way liberals win every argument. Reject facts, live in idological fantasy land. Get a dog. They are realistic.

A research into cat behavior shows that domestic cats regard humans as social peers rather than superiors, often perceiving their owners as large, awkward kittens. Far from being aloof or defiant, a cat’s apparent indifference stems from a profound interspecies mismatch in social expectations. As anthrozoologist John Bradshaw explains, cats—unlike dogs—never evolved to recognize humans as dominant leaders or authority figures. Instead, they filter all interactions through an exclusively feline framework. Behaviors like kneading on your lap or licking your hair are not mere displays of affection; they are the same grooming and bonding rituals cats reserve for close kin or pride members. In their eyes, we are simply enormous, somewhat clumsy fellow cats who require inclusion in the group. This absence of hierarchical deference accounts for cats’ frequent disregard of commands or household rules. Treating us as equals, they follow cat-to-cat social protocols in every encounter. The “gifts” of dead prey on the doorstep or constant shadowing around the home are acts of care toward what they see as a big, furless, rather inept companion. Recognizing this mindset transforms the human-cat relationship from one based on authority and obedience to one of mutual companionship. It turns out that while many owners believe they have domesticated their cats, the cats themselves are quietly convinced they are patiently tending to their oversized, adopted family members.

@Ryuwuta @MarioBrothBlog You offer judgement, but no enlightenment?

@MarioBrothBlog Y'all don't know how patents work and it shows

Mario Kart World uses a patented technique to make distant objects easier to see by enlarging them using a shader. The enlargement starts at 20 meters from the camera and increases until the object is 500 meters away, where it is twice as large as it would be normally.

@fasc1nate People get mad at this but then praise modern HBO shows like Euphoria and Heated Rivalry? These are paid actors, these things are often in the scripts and agreed upon long before filming. Once again, paid for it. Part of a story, an artistic vision.

@panoptisean @Variety Incorrect.

"Jackass 5" sends #CinemaCon into laughter with a first look at the trailer: • The trailer had plenty of groans, gasps and even a few tears as Johnny Knoxville and the crew put their bodies on the line to say goodbye. There was lots of nostalgic archival footage shown with the amateur stuntmen, including the late Ryan Dunn and ex-cast member Bam Margera. • Some of the new stunts include Steve-O getting a painful prostate exam from a robot named Larry, Sean “Poopies” McInerney putting a shock collar on his penis and an “escape room from hell” that punishes everyone’s bodies. • "This is the last ‘Jackass’ film the world will ever see. ‘Jackass’ means a hell of a lot for me. We knew we were making the last one, so we went extra hard to make sure this was also our best ‘Jackass’ film ever," Knoxville said on stage. variety.com/2026/film/news…

@SThingsSpoilers Why is no one considering that all the ep 9 stuff could be intentional, but just meant to be party on the finale. Isn't it kinda nuts to think that it ends with Vecna winning and all we see to end it is the trance he's placed everybody in? It was an advanced alien, we lost.

Stranger Things doc director says Demogorgons were left out of the #StrangerThings5 finale due to overuse: “They were really sure about the Demogorgons in the final Abyss, except Ross was like, ‘Mmm, maybe there’s some fatigue. Demogorgon fatigue.’ And Kate [Trefry] agreed."

@StrangerNews11 Johnathan or Steve will die this season. Not sure which, but 100% one of them will.

The Duffers say Nancy and Jonathan aren’t doing great: “He lied to her. Things are off. Steve gets big hero moments—and still has that unrequited thing for Nancy.”

@edmundmcmillen An insane achievement, a true work of art. You should always be proud and celebrate this! All this negativity I see in comments... What? Like why don't you guys share what achievements you have of this magnitude? What works of art have you released that have enriched the world?

15 years ago i released Super Meat boy. i was honestly so sleep deprived and stressed the only parts i can remember are just memories from Indie Game The movie. Even though im no longer associated with the IP, im still proud of what i made. Happy birthday son!
