thinking about the elderly fellow across the aisle from me on my flight last week, who had brought a hardcover book to read; but his process of reading was honestly very unsettling:
- first, he separated the hard cover from the rest of the book, leaving just the pages and interior binding
- then, he flipped each page by peeling it off the spine and turning it over
- when he finished reading each page, he folded it in half and shoved it in the seatback pocket
- whenever the stewardess came by to collect used service items, he handed her all his discarded book parts. the cover didn't really fit in the trash bag, but he just sat there while she struggled to get it into the bag's mouth. I had to help

he only got through about a quarter of the book before the flight landed, but he packed the peeled and partially consumed book in his luggage for later

the word "homosexuality" is mentioned in the taiko no tatsujin song X-DAY 2000

additionally the arcade game the song is based on (X-Day 2) has a song called "FOX-day - Ultra gay edit"

out of every rhythm game I've played, I think ongeki should feature a mode akin to IIDX's premium free

I love that it's a puzzle game in rhythm bullet hell form but sightreading charts can be quite a hassle

The location ID on twitter revealing that 99% of the horrible shit on that website is just posted by people in India honestly soothed me a lot. Its literally all just fake.

just wanna throw out if you turned off the AI bullshit and all your tabs at the top got deleted and panic like me (my autism can't handle sudden changes stress me out) you can re-enable them by going into setting-inbox and tick the ones you want in categories!

fuck AI btw

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?

TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person

Rather than using animated lip flaps, "Heroine Dream" for PS1 makes huge honkin speakers bounce to show you that a character is speaking & I love it for that.
