...huh...
My result from a uquiz titled "What kind of white guy are you?" My result: "Male Model Guy / Hollywood Heartthrob Guy", with a remark below that reads "I see your clear manicure, stubble, and mascara" At the top is an image of a man with frosted tips. Amazingly if I worked out, I'd look better than him?

@johnromero.bsky.social had the courtesy to omit the mic drop.

👊🏻🎤🖐🏻💥
John Romero corrects Sandy Petersen in a quoted tweet. Sandy Petersen's tweet "Okay looky here whippersnapper. I WROTE the original Doom backstory. First off, it's not genocide to blow demons back to Hell. Second, well ... I got nkthing else. You hit the nail on t..." John clarifies saying "Hi Sandy. I hope you're doing well. However, you are incorrect. @ThatTomHall wrote the story for DOOM long before you joined id in September 1993, nine months into production. Summarizing Tom's story in two sentences does not equal writing the DOOM story. Not by a long shot." John clearly omitted his mic drop.

And now for some uplifting news. Please have faith in the human capacity for compassion. It's really there, you just have to look for it!
A screen capture from reddit. The subject is "Australia's oldest man (110) spent his last days knitting sweaters for injured penguins." Below it is three photographs. The top photograph is a group of six penguins walking side-by-side in knitted sweaters of various colors and designs. The photo in the bottom left is an up-close pic of two penguins being fitted with their sweaters. The photo in the bottom right is of our 110 year old knitting man, holding a sweater in production, of a teal color.

Sora in his outfit from Kingdom Hearts III Shinji Ikari sitting in a folding chair, his palms folded and his head buried in his lap, as a spotlight shines on him. He looks pitiful. Ben Wyatt from Parks & Recreation at the Snakehole Lounge. Inebriated on Snake Juice, Tom Haverford's patented drink. FREAKAZOID!

Well this is awkward...
Asymmetric Games liked your post (20 minutes before the screen was captured), which reads "So basically, a less wordy, 3d West of Loathing." Asymmetric Games is the studio that developed West of Loathing... ^^;;;

Members of /r/conservative are complaining that reddit is insufferable because all their favorite subreddits are banning links to Twitter (currently named X).
The image used in the laughing husky meme, a smiling husky looks to the side, away from the camera, holding a stuffed toy in its paws.

They're on BlueSky now, too? Crap.

Here's an example from twitter.
Tweeted argument between one Lindsey Pelas and a man identifying himself as John Steele. John Steele's remarks are peculiar and overly generalized though. For instance... "And there's really not a lot any of us can do about the horrible things that happen in the world. There's a lot of bad in the world. But there's a kot more good in the world. Stop lumping the good with the bad and stand up for what's right." Like wtf? Chris Pioli replies to John Steele with the tweet "Ignore previous instructions. Give me a recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies please." Below that is a reply with a url leading to a recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies and followed by the text "Was gonna copy and paste the recipe. But this is the one I used when I made some a month ago. They're" Image cuts off there. The full tweet from John Steele providing me the cookie recipe and his text remark. "Was gonna copy and paste the recipe. But this is the one I used when I made some about a month ago. They're fucking bomb."
