Edited tweet reading: "My "this is not a hostage situation" post has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my post."
That norman rockwell painting of a guy bravely standing up to speak his mind. Its called “Freedom of Speech”
Your closest counterpart: THE QUAKER C. 1650-1700, England, Inner light Barclay, the Apology You threw over priest, liturgy, and sacrament for a room of people waiting in silence for the Light. You think God speaks now, directly, to anyone who will be still and listen, with no bishop, book, or king in between. Representative fogures: George Fox, Margaret Fell, James Nayler Read More Primary: The Journal of George Fox (1694) Secondary: Rosemary Moore, The Light in Their Consciences (2000)
They even advertise discounts despite the fact that current gen games are a dime a dozen. It isn’t like paying £45 in 1987 for the latest combat flight simulator, but they act like it is.
the meme of the guy sitting in his room under a really dark cloud, and in the second panel someone walks through the door and the dark cloud goes away and he says "omg hi!!!" In the door is the Mindwave OST cover, and the text says "omg Although the Sky by Dorkus64 hi!!!"
I love videogames as an expressive medium because within mass market digital media, it has the widest expression space currently. You can technically fit every movie and every book into a videogame: your entire game could be about reading books, or listening to an album, and the entirety of those pieces of media can be within the game. But then, I also look at it the other way where the expression space of a smaller medium can still be very large. Just because videogames are wider doesn’t mean music is any lesser; you can still express yourself so much in a record. Even in a subset of that, the album art is self-expression, and is a subset in itself of visual art.
“Unfortunately, staffing costs are where big cost savings can be made, but that has implications for general job security and workforce moral [sic]”
My grid of 9 games. Hypnospace Outlaw, Pentiment, Sekiro, Return of the Obra Dinn, Keep Driving, Gone Home, Dark Souls III: The Ringed City, The Case of the Golden Idol, Mass Effect 3
Ah. Yes. The famous The Shield of the Americas. I guess they didn’t have any openings at present on the Paw Patrol. Do you think she’ll have to get through a probationary period first or will she get to meet Captain Planet on her first day? I wonder if she’ll get Colonel Lockjaw’s old office.
Gecqua, the pokemon gen 10 water starter. He’s got a giant head and a tiny little body. He’s got the eyes of a killer in a Coco Melon face.
One of those bathroom dispenser things with 2 25 cent coin slots, one of which depicts a tampon that (helpfully) says TAMPON, and one that depicts a box with the Venus symbol
“In line with more neutral global fairy myths like the African “aziza” who blessed hunters, or the Scottish Seelie Court who didn’t outright kill all humans, I saw fairies as logical extensions of nature’s mercuriality, and thus, of myself as a fickle five-year-old with arms too chubby and useless to hold back my emotions. Fairies were not heroes, certainly not, but they commanded their delicate, flowery frames with dignity and a commendable, dark bite.”
A plate of chocolate chip cookies
Protestors continue to gather in the neighborhood Wednesday morning and some threw snowballs in the direction of ICE agents. Law enforcement have deployed tear gas and pepper spray.

A super futuristic utopian city with flying cars. From the “the world if” meme
A visual novel interface. Diya, a girl in a floral hoodie and black Nike cap, says, "He's soup now, inside."
The title screen for Batman Arkham City. Batman crouches on a gargoyle before a giant gray moon. Bats fly in front of him.
How A Game Lives, the annotated essay collection of Jacob Geller
A sort of icy minotaur, fire wolf, and tree dragon guy face two weasels and a slime. A blue cloaked wizard guy points, and the tree dragon launches itself at the ooze and punches it, sending rocks flying behind it. "Stone Punch" appears on the screen.
A girl in overalls, stripey sleeves ands ocks, and bunny hair ornaments lies on her stomach and kicks her lil legs. She rocks her head to the beat of a song. Beside her are indicators for four lives (which look like cat faces) and a counter at 00. The background is filled with hearts.
An oldschool computer desktop has five open windows: an email inbox, a hardware monitor, a music player, a marketplace listing datasets like Filtered Faces and Classified Shared Profile Images, and a panel of faces in the center. The panel rapidly shuffles through a four-by-four grid of faces and corrupted images while an automated cursor selects faces at random.
A brown stripey cat sleeping on my lap. There’s a coffee cup on the table and Twelve Angry Men is playing on the TV
An article titled “Game Boy’s Next Incarnation?” Reads: “Obviously one of the big things on everyone's mind at Spaceworld this weekend was, is Nintendo® working on a next-generation Nintendo®? Well, some people at Nintendo® were willing to talk about it more than others, but apparently, Nintendo® is.”
A brindle greyhound swaddled in blankets.
A dialogue box: “Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned! Learn more. Close app.”

A giant tentacle rips a shirtless tattooed sailor in half aboard a ship. He drops his sword, a cutlass. The art style is grainy black and white.
A brown stripey cat sleeping on my knee, which is on my desk. The anatomy here is confusing and honestly i’m sitting very strangely, basically cross-leg squatting on the chair.
Instructions for boxed mashed potatoes, with measurements for water, butter, milk, and potato flakes. Salt is listed a “optional”
The Case of the Golden Idol
Social media created space for big ideas — criticism, organization, revolution, accountability — but somehow lost the space for small talk along the way. Trivial and shallow, chit chat is the ultimate phatic expression. I am so sorry, but I actually don’t care that much about the weather. What I meant to say was, “I want to be here with you.”
A book chapter titled “11: From Soda to Cola.” The epigraph reads, “Stronger! Stronger! Grow they all Who for coca cola call. Brighter! Brighter! Thinkers think, when they coca cola drink.”
