My kid brought this home from pre-K, and my brain immediately quoted Wednesday: “The gods of my tribe have spoken. They said do not trust the pilgrims, especially Sarah Miller. And for all of these reasons I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground.”

The Transformers gathered, putting aside their ancient enmity, to produce a performance of the ancient text known as the Iliad. The leader of the Autobots was chosen to play the part of the king of Ilion, also known as Troy.

That's right, everyone, it's Optimus Priam.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

Actual documentary evidence of the transformation process.
Still image from the film "Johnny Dangerously." The image is from a PSA film being shown by Johnny to his younger brother titled "Your Testicles and You," featuring several men with impossibly large testicles painfully walking down a hospital corridor, sufferers of a condition titled "Enlarged Scrotum Syndrome," supposedly caused by pre-marital sex.

I can't ever think of Rinoa and Angelo without remembering this Stjepan Sejic illustration.
Image by Stjepan Sejic. Rinoa, Quistis, and Squall from Final Fantasy 8 are standing together. Rinoa's arm is extended in her pose for her attack "Angelo cannon," where she launches her dog, Angelo, at an enemy. Above the characters, the words "Angelo cannon" are displayed. All three characters are splattered with blood and look shocked and nauseous. Quistis says "This was a horrible idea."

Found out that my favorite JPop band, SHISHAMO, is disbanding next year. They have a final concert at Uvance Todoroki Stadium in June of next year to close things out.

Here's a link to the message on their website. It's written in Japanese. I'll summarize it below.

shishamo.biz/news/detail/...
Image of a screen displayed above a crowd. The screen reads: "Shishamo the final!!! Thanks for everything. Uvance Todoroki Stadium by Fujitsu. Day 1 June 13 2026, Thanks Day. Day 2 June 14 2023 Goodbye Day."

Image of Tumblr post: notquitesoancient says “you know who’s gay? paul the real estate novelist who never had time for a wife and davey who’s still in the navy and probably will be for life” mooncustafer says “New headcannon: everyone in that song is gay except the Piano Man who has no idea he’s playing at a gay bar and the staff and regulars have a betting pool on how long he’ll take to finally figure it out. So far John is ahead.” skeleton-richard says: “#that makes the ‘man what are you doing here’ line way funnier” spacegay-yx says: “#”now john at the bar is a friend of mine who gets me my drinks for free” dude he has a cruch on you” freshdonus says: “The manager gives me a smile ‘cause he knows that it’s me they’ve been coming to see” also implies that the Piano Man is possibly an incredibly attractive but oblivious himbo, and if you listen to the rest of it imagining that, this all fits a little too well. #Billy Joel #Piano Man #song lyrics”

Wait. There’s new Enjou content in Genshin? AND Citlali is involved?

God damn it, I’m going to have to go back to freaking Genshin Impact, aren’t I?
Screenshot from Genshin Impact. Enjou, a man with glasses and wearing a Japanese kimono robe, is looking towards Citlali, a woman in colorful garb with long pink and purple hair. Citlali says: “Isn’t it the duty of a grandson to listen to their Granny? Keep those ears peeled, lest I peel them off your head.”

Not just bsky! It's example one-billion of mediocre techbros sitting on top of "weirdos" or other "undesirables" creating something, and the tech bros somehow convincing themselves that they made it themselves and the "weirdos" are ruining it.
@mykola: "Please quote this tweet with a thing that everyone in your field knows and nobody in your industry talks about because it would lead to general chaos." @mmsword: "Telecommunications as a whole, which also encompasses The Internet, is in a constant state of failure and just in time fixes and functionally all modern communication would collapse if about 50 people, most of which are furries, decided to turn their pager off for a day. So a few folks have asked for more information. On the first part: The Internet and telephone systems of today are codependent and the Internet is an incredibly fragile thing that constantly breaks in hundreds of different ways on the daily because of the scale of it. Support of this is seen as a cost center and is cut to the bone as far as humanly possible without it visibly failing. Anyone that works in a NOC will tell you that 24/7 globally, some major part of the internet, somewhere, is busted and waiting on an oncall engineer to fix. So the least possible number of people are used to maintain one of the most complex systems to ever exist and it’s on fire 90% of the time and the only reason why anything works is because someone got texted about it and fixed it while eating supper. Your phones? All extensions of the internet now. Cell phones, land lines, 99% of what you see is some flavor of Voice Over IP carried on the INternet. Even Land Mobile Radios and walkie talkies are VOIP now. Even that old copper line that grandma has is converted somewhere. And furries? Furries have always run the internet since bulletin board days. Furries had a dedicated ISP before the White House got internet service. They are also heavily present in the amateur radio scene. Between the two, a lot of furries turned their hobby in tech into day jobs in the early days of the field, then trained their friends to get jobs at the places they worked, who were also furries, and that’s continued for 30 years now, across the globe."

It’s main-character syndrome, but also that old adage that when you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression. Basically this old tweet.

For real, it's been misused for years to shut down discussions.

I do like Godwin's Second Law, though:
Screenshot of tweet sent by Mike Godwin (he/him), username @sfmnemonic. The tweet is dated March 17, 2022, and reads: "Drawing Bayesian inferences after extensive sampling, I've determined that it's 99-percent certain that anyone who uses 'woke' as a pejorative will turn out to be a fuckhead. Please don't blame me for pointing this out--it's just science.

Listen, watching some streamers playing the new Fortnite mode this morning made it look actually kind of fun, and I'm looking forward to trying it out when it goes permanently live, but also, they do realize we're all just going to be calling it "Labubu Mode," right?
Instruction screen from the game Fortnite's new "Delulu Mode." The image features two characters, a woman and some kind of slime monster, shaking hands. Text reads: "Delulu Debrief. Dynamic Squads. Use Manage Party emotes to form or leave squads on the fly. In this mode, you can make (and breal) friends over the course of one match! Proximity Voice Chat. The game uses proximity voice chat. Both spectators and enemies can hear you.

Hi there, thrift store Megatron. He was missing some pieces (including the back of his left foot & his cannon and sword that combine to make the gun in his tank mode.) Still neat to own a Megatron that looks mostly G1 accurate, at least in robot mode.

Also this other little guy was in the bag too?

Wait.

There are actually people alive, today, in the year 2025, who still don't get that Laguna is Squall's father?

Huh. I wonder why this image just randomly posted itself on my profile, all by itself! So strange.
Four panel image showing characters from the anime Yu Gi Oh. Seto Kaiba holds up a card that reads "don't speak ill of the dead." Yugi holds up a card, its back to the viewer. Yugi turns the card around, revealing it to say "don't be a piece of shit while you're alive." Kaiba is blasted back by the power of Yugi's attack, a look of utter shock and dismay upon his face.

I am re-posting the above image with alt-text added.
Image of text. The text reads: Deliberate misgendering of a person is transphobia. Referring to trans women as men is transphobia. Assuming a trans person poses a risk simply for being trans is transphobic. Stating that trans men are vulnerable and “groomed” into transition is a transphobic trope. References to “trans activism” as anything other than the legitimate effort to protect and advocate for the rights of people who are trans or non-binary is transphobic. Alleging that Quakers have been “infiltrated” by trans activists is a transphobic conspiracy theory and we are particularly offended by it. The notion that supporting and advocating for the safety, wellbeing, and inclusion of trans people could be damaging to the Religious Society’s reputation, or even “might be the thing that finally destroys them” is shocking and dangerous. It is fearmongering, threatening, and extreme.

Poor Laguna never gets any respect.
Image from the game "Final Fantasy VIII." Three characters are together in a room. Selphie, a young girl in a yellow dress and Zell, a young man in blue shorts and a black jacket, are sitting on a couch. Squall, a young man in black pants and a black jacket lined with fur, stands facing them. He thinks to himself: "I dreamt I was a moron."

Eyyy, I gotta Mitochondrial Challenge for ya right here.
Mitochondrial Eve, a monster from the video game “Parasite Eve.” The creature is a mutated woman named Melissa Pierce who has been taken over by the consciousness of the mitochondria in her body and mutated to have long claws, a strange sort of tail in place of her legs, and her hair formed into horn-like structures.
