"Shoot, I haven't fed my grandma all week"
I turn on my virtual grandma to find her void full of unswept poop, she digivolved into a little shrunken worm out of Ursula's "poor unfortunate souls"
"One day, I will have my body back" she weakly utters
I roll my eyes and reset her to an egg

Never make a joke about someone's name.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

The estimated number of northerners who identified as abolitionists is around 5%.
It’s not the job of an elected official to hold onto power by preserving a more popular status quo. It is to steer people toward what is *right* by using your supposed leadership skills to MAKE what is right popular.

When Duck Dynasty first started airing, and I would see it in TV listings, I imagined some kind of Disney spinoff of the duck triplets as young men, vying fecklessly against each other for the reins to the McDuck empire, as Unca Scrooge ages into senility.
I think mine's a better show.

how do you all continue in a world where the Super Mario RPG soundtrack was released in 1996?
the only days I get anything done are days when I forget that Yoko Shimomura composed this singular work, days when the furious percussion of the boss battle theme doesn't march into my thoughts

White lotus - discussion aside about whether we need more stories of the ultra rich - seems to even forget that it used to be fun. Armond in season one was a delight to watch. S3 is so self-serious and grimdark, and heavy handed with its symbolism to boot.

I saw the sonic and knuckles logo being shared the other day as the greatest logo in design history, and having been likewise obsessed with it at the time, I gotta also submit that the mid 90s was chock full of this perfect minimalist logo sensibility.

I woke up at 4am to classical music blaring from my TV's sound bar, and in my half-awake semi-madness I stumbled into the living room and pulled the plug on the whole entertainment system with no idea how it happened.

It's cool that the X-Men just kinda let their members bring their own costumes, or just wear whatever they were wearing that day.
Clearly they're ready with the blue & yellow fabric, and miscellaneous leg straps, but it's up to you. Bring yourself. That's what we're all about here at the X-Men.
