I never really cared for football but I had a couple of those mascot stickers from that year's edition of Calciatori (the annual Italian league sticker album) because they were that good

I've unlocked a couple of new characters and they all come with their own gimmicks! It's a bit like playing Slay the Spire with three characters at a time

Oh yeah, I do enjoy that aspect, although I would have at least liked a proper explanation of how characters have distinct roles and maybe one shouldn't have their healer lead their little trio as they explore hell world lol

The localisation is rough to the point it fails to explain the game's basics but I'm enjoying it so far! I'm just a sucker for art that contrasts cute anime-style characters with grotesque painterly monstrosities

If you're American (but not necessarily we're all imperial subjects) and this doesn't turn you into a Third World Maoist I don't know what to tell you

Alas Protestantism sneers at the gilt and damasque and incense he likes (that or his swamp mutant handlers decided he should be catholic and he doesn't care either way)

My Kaiba rewatch had me dig up copy of the Masaaki Yuasa Sketchbook for Animation, which I think is out of print and as such costs a bunch on eBay

The best thing about this robot is that it not only looks like shit and moves like shit, it's actually being controlled by a gig worker in the Global South who's being paid pennies

The loading-the-dishwasher struggle is real. Even—or especially—for the $20,000 1X Neo humanoid home robot.

I agree with President Trump that every room of the White House should be upsetting to look at and be in

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

Peter Watkins obituary: radical British filmmaker behind The War Game and Punishment Park

The maverick filmmaker and pioneer of the docudrama, whose anti-establishment works redefined political cinema and challenged the very language of mass media, has died aged 90.

RIP to one of the greats, his The Voyage is perhaps dated (the situation only got worse since the 80s) but it's a massive undertaken that should be watched by all

Daniel Dockery @dandock.bsky.social · 2d

RIP Peter Watkins. His whole filmography was an incisive stab to the gut. If you've never seen his work, I recommend starting with Punishment Park, an eternally troubling look at the swings of authoritarianism in motion. It's a masterpiece.

Admittedly you'd make a fraction of the aforementioned lunatics but it's such a zero effort affair

Perfectly Normal Lifestyle Giant @magnumt.bsky.social · 2d

Being the Opinions editor with any of the major US newspaper must be great, you just wait until you receive the latest psychotic missive from whichever lunatic your bosses have on payroll, maybe fix the most egregious typos then just pass it as is for print

Gillian Brockell @gbrockell.bsky.social · 3d

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

John Carl Baker @johncarlbaker.bsky.social · 3d

It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.

Well the middle class White English know that noncery is just a sensible predilection of the elite upper classes that has been practised for centuries, just that back in the days of the Empire it was committed in the colonies away from prying eyes
