Wait? People are mad at Selena Gomez? Why?

She seems so benign and gave us the good Oreos.

I'm playing the crap out this game (despite the Asmongold bullshit) and I love it.

Everything about it is beautifully rendered. The story is great. The acting is great. I love that the character looks like Iishi.

Please keep giving us characters like this, please.

I'm not sure that some people know that thebpic on the right is exactly what the voice actor Erika Iishi looks like.

They are beautiful and wonderful. It feels incredibly disrespectful to talk about how the character looks without talking about the person the character model is based on.

Gamers’ brains are so cooked dude. The woman on the right is gorgeous and beautiful. Straight gamer men literally can’t find normal women attractive anymore.

But just by looking at her you can tell she's got that "duality of cat" thing going on. I love her.

“What did you write in the letter?”

Frog said,"I wrote, ‘Dear Toad, I am glad that you are my best friend.

Your best friend, Frog.'”

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Why do you think I am installing a wifi adapter?!?

M.A. @maxamari.bsky.social · 14d

So, I bought a wifi adapter for my desktop, since the ethernet cable is only downstairs.

First installation step is to go online and download a driver.

I had my first zoom ASL class of the session tonight and Momo was on screen 100%.

She snuggled, napped, wanted petted. She had a whole thing going on.

Bryan is absolutely the best of us, and I am angry on his behalf that he's STILL got to endure this.

With all his success and brilliance, he shouldn't have to do this. He's earned the respect.

Jack Tripper @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 17d

The thing for me is this isn’t some disaffected unsuccessful radical, this is someone who did everything you said they should do, and even they are saying, “okay, this isn’t going to cut it.”

NEW: Hawaii's Supreme Court keeps releasing opinions that denounce the U.S. Supreme Court.

The latest? A new ruling that requires the police to record all interrogations from now on.

The author took it as an opportunity to say Hawaii's court will protect due process—while SCOTUS isn't:

Hawaii Supreme Court Expands Rights of Defendants, and Once Again Rebukes SCOTUS - Bolts

Hawaii justices ruled that their state constitution requires police to record interrogations. And they vowed to protect due process for Hawaiians—unlike, they said, the Roberts Court.
