So, the world is. Not great these days. So, to maybe help everyone get away from it for a bit, I would like to share a list of fairly obscure JRPGs that tend to go under the radar in discussions of the genre, because that is a topic in which I am something of an expert. 1/?
Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team, there has literally never been a situation in which "less Patton Oswalt" has been a good idea. Put him back. #FreePattonOswalt

Hey, just a reminder that Republicans stealing SNAP from struggling families right before Thanksgiving due to their shutdown may have caused you to miss that Republicans are also stealing SNAP from struggling families right before Thanksgiving through work requirements. Fun!

Republicans in America argue that poor people shouldn't be allowed to eat candy, and *this* is the situation in Australia. Kinda feel like we need to do some make-up work if we wanna keep claiming to be the "greatest country in the world".
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Remember, kids: Stay off Twitter, or this could happen to you!
I think the American right is in fact correct about several things and it would be wise to concede that.

On the one hand, it's pretty nice Dick Cheney's dead.

On the other hand, would have been a lot better if it had happened twenty-five years ago.

Hey, just a friendly reminder, when the economy tanks, stock prices fall, and billionaires can buy shares on the cheap and make a profit when the market corrects, wealth they will then hoard forever, meaning the rest of us are just permanently poorer.

So that's reason #3 the GOP likes the shutdown.

Another excellent deep-dive into Nickelodeon's past, and especially meaningful to me since we're finally getting more into my childhood with the 1991 season. Shame there wasn't time to talk about the show's *in-universe* crossover episode, the Gary/Frank two-parter, The Tale of Cutter's Treasure.

The worst part about all this bullshit going on is that all the smug assholes who claimed that the only way people would finally wake up was if Trump made their lives bad enough have been completely an unequivocally vindicated. Christ, they're gonna be insufferable next election.

Kinda weird how more people in the media aren't pointing out that Republicans are planning to starve more than forty million people to protect a bunch of pedophiles and make healthcare more expensive.

Oh right, news media gets better ratings when people are suffering, so they want it to happen.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov Hey, guys, I know we're not one of the affected states (yet), but it might be worth getting on-mic and talking *a lot* about how the GOP is willing to let poor families starve from loss of SNAP benefits just to avoid releasing the Epstein Files.

Thumbing through some old MAD Magazine issues, and boy, this bit from their Deck of 52 Least-Wanted Americans still holds up, concerning one Joe Rogan:

So, after having watched Kamen Rider Gavv, I decided to watch a Super Sentai, for balance, and picked Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger, because, *twelve* rangers sounded intriguing.

I think the experience of going from one to the other is best summed up as:

@gallego.senate.gov My guy you are on *fire* lately, keep bringing the heat and I might start feeling slightly less bad about living in AZ.

Congrats for 500 episodes to one of the best film critics working today. Looking forward to this year's Schlocktober!

I'm getting the feeling that these videos are less sincere attempts to tap into nostalgia and more a Wonder Bread Guy-style niche fetish thing for worthless cultural effluvia.
no we can't be doing 2012 nostalgia

I refuse
October 2, 2025 at 4:59 PM
Okay, literally nobody old enough to be watching this video could possibly be stupid enough to believe it. None of any of this stuff meant anything, culturally, the last "mall crawl" hangout was done sometime in 2005, and for the last time, *nobody liked going to Wal-Mart*!

@gallego.senate.gov As one of your constituents, I wanna say: good job. You really nailed it here. Keep up the good work.

You know, in terms of "what value does this have for young minds", Kamen Rider Gavv is a *master class* in emotional intelligence for the young demographic it's targeting. These boys are out there resolving their issues like they went to therapy.
September 30, 2025 at 1:19 AM
As someone who was alive in 2002, I want everyone to know, most of this is untrue, and the remainder, nobody gave a shit about. Literally nobody was excited to go to fucking *Wal-Mart*, ever.
This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

I recently saw some chatter about #KamenRider, and, given that one of them is also showing up in the DLC for Super Robot Wars Y, I figured I'd go ahead and watch A Kamen Rider, going with the most recent series to wrap up, Kamen Rider Gavv. I gotta say, this is really delightfully dumb.

You've heard that YouTube's new slop-loving algorithm is BURYING original content by established creators. 🤬 It's ALSO keeping down our seasonal compilation re-uploads, so PLEASE - any and all re-shares will really help us out 🙏
