XKCD comic. Panel one Cueball (holding license plate in hands): Check out my personalized license plate! Megan (out-of-frame): "1I1-III1"? Cueball: It's perfect! Panel two Cueball (wringing hands): No one will be able to correctly record my plate number! I can commit any crime I want! Megan (looking at the license plate): Sounds foolproof. Panel Three (Soon) Crime scene analyst: The thief's license plate was all "1"s or something. Cop #1 (holding a notepad): Oh. That guy. Cop #2 (walking towards an out-of-frame squad car): His address is on a post-it in the squad car.

I tried looking it up on DDG and the Fandom Wiki doesn't list a date of birth or an age for him. Wikipedia basically just says he's speculated to have been born in 2022, which cites a Snopes article which implies that he's 40. This article cites Gizmodo: gizmodo.com/was-jane-jet...
Fandom Wiki page for George Jetson. Includes his name, his relations to his children and wife as well as his employment. Lists his voice actors. Notably does not list his age or date of birth anywhere. Screengrab from Snopes article cited by Wikipedia regarding his date of birth being 2022. "As Gizmodo once explained, in an episode titled "Test Pilot" which originally aired on December 30, 1962, when George Jetson was told by a doctor he "should live to be 150," he exclaimed that he had "110 good years ahead of me."

Edited image of the movie poster for "I Am Legend" starring Will Smith. Will Smith has been covered almost entirely with a large glass of milk. The title has been quickly redone to say "I Am Milk" with some of the original letters being retooled as transparent PNGs. The 'K' is composed of the I and the middle section of the M rotated 90 clockwise.

I'd be interested to see what his empirical dataset includes to make such a claim. Or really just any reasonable expansion on that point, because right now it's giving XKCD 1122.
XKCD Comic #1122. The page is divided into 58 panels not including the title: "The Problem With Statements like 'No <party> candidate has won the election without <state>' or 'No president has been reelected under <circumstances>'" Each panel is denoted by a year corresponding to an election year in the USA: 1788: No one has been elected president before, but Washington was. 1792: No incumbent has ever been reelected, until Washington 1796: No one without false teeth has become president, but Adams did. 1800: No challenger has beaten an incumbent, but Jefferson did. 1804: No incumbent has beaten a challenger, until Jefferson. 1808: No congressman has ever become president, until Madison. 1812: No one can win without New York, but Madison did. 1816: No candidate who doesn't wear a wig can get elected, until Monroe was. 1820: No one who wears pants instead of breeches can be reelected, but Monroe was. 1824: No one has ever won without a popular majority, J.Q. Adams did. 1828: Only people from Massachusetts and Virginia can win, until Jackson did. 1832: The only presidents who get reelected are Virginians, until Jackson. 1836: New Yorkers always lose, until Van Buren. 1840: No one over 65 has won the presidency, until Harrison did. 1844: No one who's lost his home state has won, but Polk did. 1848: As goes Mississippi, so goes the nation, until 1848. 1852: New England democrats can't win, but Pierce did. 1856: No one can become president without getting married, until Buchanan did. 1860: No one over 6'3" can get elected, until Lincoln. 1864: No one with a beard has been reelected, but Lincoln was. 1868: No one can be president if their parents are alive, until Grant. 1872: No one with a beard has been reelected in peacetime, until Grant was. 1876: No one can win a majority of the popular vote and still lose, Tilden did. 1880: As goes California, so goes the nation, until it went Hancock. 1884: Candidates named 'James' can't lose, until James Blaine. etc...

A quick edit for the new Final Fantasy printing of Vindicate. The amulet thing or whatever that Emet is suspending with magic has been replaced with a hastily cropped image of the infamous low-poly grapes from early in the Endwalker release. The actual text of the card: Vindicate {1}{W}{B} Sorcery Destroy target permanent. --- "Remember... remember us... remember... that we once lived..."

Screenshot of the infamous Rome: Total War AI diplomacy offer. It reads: "Their offers Accept or we will attack Their Demands Please do not attack" Some Googling tells me this is supposed to be a non-aggression pact, but honestly trusting the AI in this game is a fool's errand so I don't know who actually believes them when they send this. This is also commentary on the Dagoth Ur-as-Trump post this is quote replying to, because frankly trusting Trump is just as asinine as trusting the computer opponents in a early aughts RTS grand strategy game called "Total War" with Rome as the focal point.

This fucking article just reading like:
The front cover of a pamphlet: "I fucking warned you dude. I told you bro A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF CAPITALIST PRODUCTION By KARL MARX Translated from the third German edition, by Samuel Moore and Edward Aveling And Edited By Frederick Engels VOL I." If it's not clear, my point is a lot of this article just reads like the sensible conclusions one could come to by looking at our society under late-stage capitalism and a passing understanding of Communist theory.

If you see this post, show 4 of your favorite games.

I classically have a hard time picking a favorite game, so here's just some that have stood out to me recently. This would also include. Metroid Dread is probably the best Metroid has been for me, but this could be any of the more recent 2D games
Cover art for Metroid: Dread Cover art for Baldur's Gate 3 Cover art for Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon Cover art for AI: The Somnium Files
