my inner monologue while watching the Olympics:
I just wanna stomp a goomb
Ride my yoshi
Grab a shroom
Break some bricks
Slide a pole
Jump a pit
Save the goal
Hit a block
Spin a fire
Lose a life
Climb up higher
Chase a star
Kick a shell
Beat bowser
Save the belle

Hours after reading a thread about this something just clicked that this is how they’re moving about Adult. Education. Give or take a Doogie Howser*. That’s really chilling to me.

The University of Texas System’s Board of Regents unanimously approved a rule requiring its universities to ensure students can graduate without studying “unnecessary controversial subjects,” despite warnings it could leave them less prepared for the real world.

Opponents warned the policy’s vagueness could push professors to self-censor and leave students less prepared for the workplace.

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

The best refutation to grind culture mentality is a gold medal.
“When Liu, 20, decided to return to skating, she did so with conditions. She’d wear what she wants. Dance to the music she wants. Eat what she wants. Take breaks when she wants…. [Skating] would be the vehicle through which she displayed the real Alysa.”
