Cho Aniki remaster!! It’s TIME for the BEST video on the INTERNET about a VIDEOGAME I see youtu.be/XJ_OrdecRgM?... (made by @jennatar.bsky.social )

Seems like a Cho Aniki collection is coming, definitely not a return I ever expected but I do love to see it!

Adventures in S#!t: Cho Aniki #1 and #3youtu.be A look back at Cho Aniki (1992) and Bakuretsu Rantou Hen (1995), featuring Robyn Pennacchia as "lady next to me askin' questions"Recorded for http://motherbo...

Great retrospective. One thing that gets a little lost, I think, is that this movie was, at the time, a technological marvel—that seeing Tom Hanks inserted into famous newsreel footage was supposed to be as ~wondrous~ as seeing the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park for the first time 🥲

Wrote about FORREST GUMP at 30. For a film that obviously resonates with a lot of people, I honestly can’t fathom what it’s trying to express. amp.theguardian.com/film/article...

I said "he is both craggy and hairy" and that he "can look haunted," but "don't let him do any accent work"

this weekend marks the one-year anniversary of my original twitter account going out in a blaze of glory

My mom was also a member of the Silent Generation: “heavens to Betsy!”

My mom used to say "Jeez Louise!" and that's one I think we should swipe from the Silent Generation and start using again everywhere.

Last night I made an incredible friend who I hope texts me back. At one point I asked her if she were calling me old (joking!), and she looked absolutely panicked and then murmured “I don’t want to mess this up.” Reader, I HOWLED. EASILY the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me 💀

My 79-year-old neighbor and I are gonna kick back with Alfred Hitchcock today 😇

My nieces want to know why the Easter Bunny didn’t attend the egg hunt today 😤

Adam Levine was at the bar yesterday, for hours. He was with a group of friends and got all their drinks. I can’t stop thinking about it

my Spotify just abruptly switched from playing classical music to Mario Kart

I'm not for making a big statement because there's no point arguing with these people but if twitter is just going to be all conspiracy racist misogynist dog whistles all the way down, staying there for promo and reach doesn't even make sense - the people who remain won't want my games anyway.

"I've never had therapy" is "I don't even own a tv" for boomers

it’s the same g*merg*te, same formula, new packaging

This is good btw (even though I'm biased because of the author). It shows how tough moderating this type of group is, especially with how a lot of their internal conversations are about not breaking ToS.

I did a hip youth pastor joke at the Apple Store and the kid assisting me was so confused. We stared at each other and finally I was like “are you not familiar with this joke format” and the kid was like “no, and it’s a weird thing to say,” and I was like “wow our senses of humor are so different”

Last week I turned on my overhead lamp and now it’s somehow on a timer and blasts me awake every morning like a ghost mom coming in to tell me I’m gonna be late for school

had some shit to say.

I have also written on this subject: gazongas are not the enemy (and, meanwhile, a set of tinies shouldn’t be shorthand for “smart character”), and the fact that they’re a cultural battleground is absolutely exhausting for people with gazongas

i wrote a column back in 2020 about how boobs aren’t right-wing, if that’s of relevance for some reason right now

Shafiqah Hudson, Who Fought Trolls on Social Media, Dies at 46www.nytimes.com When the hashtag #EndFathersDay began trending on Twitter, she realized it was more than just an absurd joke. It was a coordinated disinformation effort.

I actually logged in just to say that I anonymously analyzed 2 people's "color seasons" in the TikTok comments (by request, not unsolicited) and I am feeling pretty great about it lol

One I told my 14-year-old "it's giving bedtime" and they didn't speak to me for the rest of the night

I used the word “mid” (correctly) yesterday & my kid yelled at me for being old & using slang. Thank GOD they do not follow me on here.
