video game mechanics that would be fun if you were still 13 but at 38 they send you reeling into an existential void.

idk i don't think every article needs a cutesy ai-illustrated explainer image, maybe that's just me
an image with four different colored panels side by side. each shows a different 2D illustration of a person expressing an undefinable emotion. The panels are labelled Sanguine, Phlegmatic, Melancholic, and Choleric

Comstock, Townshend, old-ass Acts are back again
Quote from Wikipedia page for The 1768 Townshend Acts: "The colonists' objection to "internal" taxes did not mean that they would accept "external" taxes; the colonial position was that any tax laid by Parliament for the purpose of raising revenue was unconstitutional. "Townshend's mistaken belief that Americans regarded internal taxes as unconstitutional and external taxes constitutional", wrote historian John Phillip Reid, "was of vital importance in the history of events leading to the Revolution." Headline from an Al Jazeera article: "Trump announces ‘external revenue service’ to collect foreign tariffs" with subheading: "Trump said on social media that the new department would be created on his first day when he takes office on January 20."

This fella was transgending like you wouldn't believe

from the Sept 8th 1860 issue of the Monmouthshire Merlin
COURTSHIP EXTRAORDINARY. The most extraordinary case of this kind of which we remember to have heard has been brought to light within the last few days at Moulton, in this county. The circumstances are briefly these;— About seven years ago a girl of 16, named Catherine Coombe, married her first cousin, a painter of the same name, at Cheltenham, of which town they were both natives. After some time they came to reside at Bedford, where the wife assumed the male attire and the name of Fred, and passed as the son of her husband, working with him at his trade. In the same house with them lodged a Miss Smith, a straw bonnet maker, who fell in love with Fred, and Fred reciprocated the affection, and passed himself off and was received as Miss Smith's sweetheart. The intimacy has now lasted between them five months, Fred sleeping every night with the painter, and Miss Smith entertaining no doubt whatever that her lover was a man. Three weeks ago they all three came to reside at Moulton, whither they were followed by Miss Smith's father, who received a letter from Cheltenham stating that his daughter was keeping company, not with a male, but with a female, and that the supposed father of the latter was in reality her husband. Fred, on being taxed with the deception, admitted the truth of the charge, to the no small surprise of poor Miss Smith. The police then took Fred into custody, and escorted him to Northampton on Wednesday last, when be was brought before the county magistrates and remanded. He-we con- tinue the masculine gender-is now 23 years of age, of middle height, slender, and of handsome features. His hair is closely cropped, and he is dressed in a black glazed cap, cloth coat, greyish vest and trousers, and Balmoral boots. The motives for his conduct are hitherto inexplicable, and even the husband, who brings him food to the station-house, does not attempt to unravel them.
