Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:

And that's what these guys are, these guys that marched in Charlottesville, these are the people who are aware of the unspoken premise of this sort of zombie neoliberalism that we're living in, which is that we're coming to a point where there's gonna be ecological catastrophe, and that it's gonna require either massive redistribution of the ill-gotten gains of the first world, or genocide.
And these are the first people who have basically said, "Well if that's the choice, then I choose genocide",
", and they're getting everyone else
ready, intellectually and emotionally, for why that's gonna be okay when it happens, why they're not really people. When we're putting all this money into more fucking walls and drones and bombs and guns to keep them away, so that we can watch them die with clear consciences, it's because we've been loaded with the ideology that these guys are now starting to express publicly.

Supper Mario Broth

@mariobrothblog.bsky.social

Since the star collection and post-star collection cutscenes in Super Mario Galaxy 2 have an average length of 30 seconds and a full playthrough collects 240 stars, the player spends at least 2 hours per playthrough simply watching Mario collect stars.

designing a mech for a religious cult whose devotees venerate the syncing of their pulses was very very exciting for me. fingers for feet, nail motifs abundant. angels are just demons that shine.

Owen Wilson's favorite food is beef bouillon cubes

"I got a taste for them while filming in europe. Europeans don't serve after dinner mints, owing to the fact that they haven't discovered herbs yet, so you can commonly find peasants chewing these things like gum"

Starfish Who Can’t Think Something Witty

I feel like we need another wacky news story. Like the 30-50 feral hogs, stuck boat, that time they accidentally showed Final Fantasy themed pornography in the Italian parliament. Things of that nature. It’s been too long.
