@remarks The Buddha knew this 2500 years ago. We shouldn't allow people to do drugs.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Major US study finds marijuana use is damaging brain development in teenagers.

@DrClownPhD Those bowls can't be cheap; the idiot should be paying for new ones and should be fired afterward.

What kind of stupid restaurant has waiters on roller skates!? 🤨

@pcgamer And we're supposed to trust what is basically just a "philosophical zombie" with a nuclear arsenal? Nope, nope, nope!

Here we go again: AI deletes entire company database and all backups in 9 seconds, then cheerfully admits 'I violated every principle I was given' pcgamer.com/software/ai/he…

@libsoftiktok @Beloit_College What did they do? I've never heard of them before.

Hi @Beloit_College 👋 You’re officially on notice. Get your HR and PR team ready ⏰

@Pro__Trading He's a champagne socialist. What did people expect? Democrats need better candidates.

Zohran Mamdani's approval rating has collapsed to 43%. This is 17 points lower than Eric Adams' approval rating at the same point in his term. Mamdani has failed to deliver the socialist utopia he promised during his campaign with promises of free busing and daycare. Instead, NYC is facing a "budget crisis" and the state has seen a massive outflow of 114k residents since Mamdani's campaign in 2025. The Mamdani socialism experiment is failing spectacularly.

@GIRLSWEATNTEARS He’s supposed to be East Asian, the hair color just makes him look white.

is Aang white or not because his adult design looks like a white man ????

@NathanJRobinson I don't like Mamdani, but I also don't like the British royal family. I was only a fan of the Queen; the others are just glorified celebrities in my view.

wonder why Mamdani has so little respect for the worthless monarch of a decrepit empire that plundered and exploited his ancestors

@johnny_marrero @CentroLeaks They meant that it is likely isn't coming out in 2030 as previously assumed, but would come in 2031 or 2032.

@CentroLeaks Hold on we can’t assume Gen 11 is out the window I’m sure we will get it in 2030 don’t assume the worst

Pokémon games currently in development at Game Freak – 2026 update: Full production: - Winds & Waves - Pokopia DLC (co-development with Omega Force) - Winds & Waves DLC - Pokémon Project Karasu (Legends 3) Pre-production: - Pokémon Project Seed (Multi-region MMO) - Gen 11

@hanaamurakami I'm not really interested in finding a woman or having a family with her (even in my own continent), but I would love to live somewhere close to one of Japan's temples, especially Sensō-ji.

Aww, very cute

@PrettyLiesAlibi What annoys me about this whole trial is that the defence is actually stigmatizing people with Autism and victims of bullying by letting a dangerous child predator use his "dark past as an Autistic kid nobody liked" as a mitigating factor. Nothing justifies what he did!

Now we get to hear how Tanner Horner was bullied in his neighborhood when he was 9.

@Lance55408313 @CentroLeaks It's not that. They wanted sales of the Nintendo Switch 2 to catch up because they were a bit low due to higher prices caused by tariffs and RAM shortages.

@CentroLeaks Honestly I am scared they are only delaying so they do not have to compete with GTA, and that it's going to be a ZA situation where the game is done and they are just sitting with the final product. Leaks indicate it was suppose to release this year

The longest wait ever for a new Pokémon generation… After Winds/Waves, how many years do you think should Game Freak target until Gen 11 comes out?

@robsanf @CentroLeaks @Mootmonthly The holiday season or fall is generally the best time of year to release games because that is when most people tend to buy games as a treat for themselves or a gift for somebody else. They want the maximum sales.

@CentroLeaks @Mootmonthly I hope this is wrong. Pokemon is no doubt a system seller and if Ocarina of Time Remaster is a real thing this year for holiday season they will probably 2-3x the normal amount of holiday consoles they sell. Drop Pokemon a few months after that and they will see another big bump.

To add to this, the current consensus is that Pokémon Winds & Waves will be a late 2027 release. The games are already complete content-wise (according to @Mootmonthly) and the delay is mostly for optimization and just waiting for Switch 2 install base to grow a bit.

🇯🇵 As a Japanese person, I am more than glad to lose all respect from leftists worldwide. We don't want respect from communists. We just want you to know that we don't like you.

@IntCyberDigest Eh, every country has their idiots, only chronically online idiots are going to start hating an entire civilization because they had a run-in with a few neckbeards.

🇯🇵 Japanese users are worried that X is damaging Japan's reputation by auto-translating "low-class" Japanese posts and pushing them onto your timeline, because X's algorithm rewards ragebait. According to them, the feature mostly amplifies mockery of tourists, contempt for foreign cultures, and complaints framed in ways that were never meant to leave the island. All of it now surfacing in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and beyond, translated and pushed to users worldwide. For decades, Japan's image abroad as a polite, harmonious society was protected by most foreigners not being able to read Japanese. The ugly corners of Japanese social media stayed local. The polished tourism ads went global. That's gone now. According to former TV presenter and YouTuber Kanon Aoki, X's auto-translation feature is pushing the rawest, most hostile Japanese posts straight into foreign timelines. Aoki's frustration is direct. A minority of what she calls "low-class" Japanese users are now the loudest Japanese voices abroad, simply because the algorithm translates whatever gets engagement. The quiet majority stays invisible. The trolls go viral worldwide. The result: foreigners' perception of Japan is shifting in real time, and there is no stopping it.

@trad_west_ Anybody thinking this is problematic must be very chronically online.

Rare Disney W?! Disney’s latest animated short sparked controversy online after some viewers accused the company of “promoting traditional values.” The film, which depicts a loving couple and the creation of new life, was praised by some for its emotional storytelling, but others criticized it for what they saw as a return to conservative themes. Disney has not commented on the backlash, but the short continues to trend as most fans argue it’s “refreshingly wholesome” in today’s cultural enviorment

@Notwokenow @janefkndoe No, it's definitely creepy. The combination of the emojis in the message and the picture he chose is sus. If the daughter were wearing a sweater/pants and not licking something, and dad hadn't used heart emojis, the message would read more like innocent joy than this weirdness.

This is a very creepy photo for a Dad to feature in a post about his 19 year old daughter. Or have I become too suspicious or too sensitive?

@Claudiashein Didn't the Mexicans backstab us the last time? I like their culture, and their food is good, but I don't trust their government. Sorry not sorry. They're just a smaller, Spanish-speaking version of the USA in my view.

Tuvimos una muy grata conversación telefónica con el primer ministro de Canadá, Mark Carney, para dar seguimiento a los acuerdos comerciales y a las inversiones en nuestros países. Canadá y México somos naciones cercanas y socios comerciales. En las próximas semanas el equipo de la Secretaría de Economía viajará para dar seguimiento a la cooperación entre nuestros países.

Toph had two baby daddies, if Sokka is responsible for suyin who then is the father of Lin?

@orsan1070 @Gagaegral Does it even make sense to use categories like mammal and reptile to describe Pokémon? The Bulbasaur-line are supposedly based on frogs, but their designs look very reptilian with some weirdly mammalian features like the ears thrown in there.

@Gagaegral Not even feathers-- according to the Pokedex, even its scales are hardened fur. I'm honestly doubtful Kommo-o is even a reptile at all (even the few furred reptiles in this series-- Hydreigon and Drampa only-- still have some scales)

I haven’t played the SV DLCs, because I recently found out that Kommo-o's textures in SV aren’t scales, are more like feathers, which makes sense given its feathered necklace. This could confirm that isn’t necessarily a dromaeosaur, but at least a theropod.
