Here's a paragraph you might not expect to find in a 1998 sci-fi/super hero paperback for babies.
Unless you're familiar with Animorphs, in which case you would know that the series is routinely like this.

![Cover for Animorphs #23: The Pretender by K.A. Applegate. Published in November 1998 by Scholastic. Cover illustration by David B. Mattingly.
A red-tailed hawk morphs into some common variety of brown rabbit. That is, the rabbit is on the bottom-left, the hawk is on the top-right, and there are three transitionary stages in between. Ears gradually emerge. The wings turn into arms. Talons become paws. Beak to nose. That kind of thing.
The background is a cloudy gradient, going from purple at the top to yellow-orange at the bottom. There is also a hazy, translucent boy seen directly behind the hawk.
Additional text:
"Tobias is about to discover the secrets of his past..."
"TV. Watch Animorphs on Nickelodeon."
[My own recommendation: Stick to the books.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vnzdrfrdw247cmojpv5vaza2/bafkreib46rxwcsvmlabsffk7h7m2sog4wqi7ypb4gon3lfkpqxikwpo2z4@jpeg)

Hunched over a touchscreen in a makeshift booth before dropping a sheet of paper in a box and picking up a tiny sticker.

Wow. Okay, so the Zelda movie is just going to be about two actors in costumes posing in a field? They're just going to look at nothing and express nothing? How is that a movie? How is that a movie trilogy?
I mean, wow. Seriously, Nintendo, don't do this.
I will be holding off on buying my ticket.

Insane Bundle with 21 GAMES is currently $1.99 on the Nintendo Switch eShop.
The per-game price suggests that this could be the stinkiest digital garbage on the planet. Imagine my horror when I started playing one and actually liked it!
I've tried five games now, and they're all sorta nice. Eerie.

I do not come from a "bless you" family, so when I was very young and I sneezed in public, the phrase confused me. The actual meaning still confuses me, but at two or three years old, I couldn't even parse the words. "Bleshu" sounded like an onomatopoeic command:
"Bleshu!"
"I already did."
"Bleshu!"
"I already did."

I love high-resolution promotional art from the early days of 3D video games. In-game, you're getting 13 triangles glued together in the vague shape of a guy, crunched down and interlaced on a screen that could fit in your JNCO pockets.
And then the let loose, and wowww, those shadows and textures.

What a tragedy that Rockstar is now fully committed to photorealistic humans and union-busting. Imagine the last quarter century if management had believed in Space Station Silicon Valley the way they believe in Grand Theft Auto or abusing workers.

I watched the John Candy documentary I Like Me last night, and unsurprisingly, Ray Charles' Mess Around is in my head this morning.
I think Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is a bad movie, through no fault of Candy and Martin. That guy was taken much too soon.

Norah O'Donnell caught Trump saying some things he shouldn't have let slip, but let's be serious:
You either have to call him on his lies, even at the risk of him walking out, or you let him control the 90-minute interview...and then simply refuse to air it. Just waste that stupid baby's time.

Man, I have been pushing myself to stream one more time this month. I've done loads of prep work to make it happen today, and chums, by body is just not having it.
Chronic illness is a nasty trick, but I have Swedish Fish and Sour Patch Kids, so Halloween is still a treat.

Because I'm not the dumbest moron alive.
No stream today. No promises for tomorrow, but before this month is through, I WILL play a video game in front of a camera.

Remember how Trump kept saying Mexico would pay for his wall, and the Mexican government just laughed at him?
I finally understand why Trump tried to goad Canada into a war.
I hate to admit it, but if you want a foreign nation to cover major White House renovations, war with Canada? Pretty clever.

I've been personally told by a reliable source that local schools, as of end-of-day today, have required teachers to post the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
I knew this was going to happen eventually, but I didn't know the date. It's not mentioned on the district's site at all. Pretty sneaky!
