The best way to describe Portland is that their roundabouts have stop signs.

Truly a perfect news alert

Between FO76's newest update, which added bigfoot as a post-event boss, and new emoji adding "hairy creature", I'm curious what the source of the current Sasquatch zeitgeist is

I take solace knowing that when ww3 happens it will be announced on truth social and I will die blissfully unaware

Edward Shone, head of communications for Proton AG, told 404 Media in an email: “We want to first clarify that Proton did not provide any information to the FBI, the information was obtained from the Swiss justice department via MLAT." Functionally, though, the material was provided to the FBI.

Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester

A court record reviewed by 404 Media shows privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail handed over...

To be clear: I say "ridiculous" in the most affectionate way possible.

I love this.

In Fallout 76 there is a camera "weapon" that normally takes captures functionally identical to photo mode except they added a ridiculous Easter egg if you take a camera photo of the new Bigfoot boss wherein the photo becomes blurry

It feels like it's been ten years since I've heard anything about SXSW, but this year I'm seeing/hearing ads for it all over- they're really trying to make it a thing again, huh?

It is good to make fascists & bigots feel bad

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

I had forgotten how The Simpsons put the extra effort in to flip this joke. Rather than just satirizing US nationalist parochialism, Homer is (momentarily) an expert on Iranian politics.

Started playing High on Life 2 and was delighted to get the good ending

I don't know what game this is, but importing the Space Marine 2 character models into it was genius.

As I've spent the better part of the day explaining why I don't think Newsom should be the Democratic nominee for president, it pains me to "defend" this, but...

The governor of California is legally obligated to proclaim each Feb 6 Reagan Day per a 2010 state law.

In 1979, the “New York Times” asked Isaac Bashevis Singer if he planned to watch the Super Bowl.

a field goal is exactly half as difficult as a touchdown. that’s why it’s worth three

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

My biggest hope for Elder Scrolls 6 / Fallout 5 is that Bethesda drops the way they currently program "essential" characters (wherein you try to kill them and they crouch for a minute before getting up and fighting back, and this repeats until you take a nap) and brings back this good Morrowind shit

One of the best things about having a beard is how sometimes my cat decides I'm not paying enough attention to him so he'll slowly reach out and gently grab or bat at it

It's somehow rude and polite at the same time but definitely cute either way

Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.

lot of things i could say here but mostly i guess i would like to implore everyone to find a personality other than "least favorite roommate during a house meeting in portland, oregon"

Holy shit it's real

Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.

yesterday while I was at the gym listening to gaming podcasts talk about their personal goty lists (as you do), I realized that I already collect data about all the games I play on my website so could easily build a ranking system to make my own list... so I did: tekniklr.com/goty/2025

tekniklr's top 10 games of 2025

#1: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 #2: DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH #3: Blue Prince
