We are currently having DNS issues and we apologize for this. We're trying to fix it, but it's being kind of a pain. Apparently if you try a VPN or a different IP/browser that might get you through in the meantime.

This is one, old news to everybody with critical thinking skills, and two - largely irrelevant today as Senator Lindsey Graham is, you know, no longer living today. I don’t expect this to have significant if any impact on Darline Graham’s campaign.

I admire @lexfri.xyzfor his strong, principled response to why X no longer makes sense for him, and so many other of us. I understand the desire to return to what things were like before, but for me, there’s no going back. https://lexontech.org/x-is-bad-though

I can't directly blame him, but not a great way to kick off the Ternus era. There was no requirement that Apple acquiesce and do this.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Goodness I just cannot wait to be in a dark, cold theater disassociating with a big tub of popcorn watching Spider-Man tonight. 🍿

I love how flexible my Steam Deck is, but performance wise it’s giving big “end of life original Nintendo Switch” vibes these days. Tough to play any new release on it 😅

The Odyssey was a legitimate masterpiece. Surprisingly, the thing that really stood out to me was the sound and music - a haunting score and a cyclops that makes a noise unlike quite anything else I’ve ever heard before in my life.

also the president is a fuckin liar

Hakeem Jefferson@hakeemjefferson.bsky.social

The president is a liar. He lies constantly & without hesitation. His lies about American elections are among his most dangerous b/c they are meant to convince a susceptible public that democratic outcomes cannot be trusted. They are antidemocratic lies in service of holding onto power. He’s a liar!

Hugely disappointing. I still buy all my games physical, and I have no plans to stop. I knew I was fighting against a rising tide, but physical ownership is important in a world where everything feels so ephemeral. If this means buying fewer or no PS games, so be it… I love my Switch 2, after all.

All 6 conservative Supreme Court justices have ruled that a ban on transgender athletes is permissible.

One of my favorite childhood games is Star Fox 64… and let me tell you, Star Fox for Nintendo Switch 2 is the real deal. A pitch perfect retelling of that original story, and a real technical showcase for the console. I hope it serves as a foundation for some great future games.

Curious how capable Siri AI's model is on iOS 27 DP1, so I tried out @simonwillison.net 's “Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle” prompt. Siri's guardrails didn't want to do it at first, but with a little bit of coaxing... #SiriAI

Didn’t expect to see our next look at Kingdom Hearts 4 at a #NintendoDirect! I’m on and off with this series, but it does look good.

First #WWDC26 yesterday, and now a #NintendoDirect today - I love this time of year! Hoping we get more information on Star Fox, Duskbloods, and maybe even a peak at the rumored Ocarina of Time remake (or perhaps the next 3D Zelda game…?)

That's surely the shortest WWDC keynote I've seen. Consider me whelmed

So it’s kind of looking like Massie is going to lose his seat, huh? Goes to show just how brainwashed the Republican Party is. If you cross Trump, you’re dead to them. Very cult’ish!

I wish I liked this season of For All Mankind more than I do. The premise is still great, but something about the show just isn't clicking for me the same way anymore. I'll ride it out, but I hope the final season is better.

Not sure I like the editing of this episode of #Survivor. rushing through these last two tribals before the finale in one 90 minute episode makes it all feel so underwhelming

"The Switch is so old," you all said. "I need better graphics," you demanded. "Wah wah," you cried. And now, you sit here before Slippy Toad, the slippiest he's ever been, slippier than a fucking banana peel under a kart wheel, all thanks to the raw power of the Nintendo Switch 2—and you reject him?
