We share the same time and position on the planet's crust. That counts for more than you'd think.
My kid informed me that Mario and Luigi are actually twins, and I can't even begin to tell you the overwhelming urge I have to cast Schwarzenegger and DeVito in a live action movie.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

This is the funniest piece imaginable in the dull world of the otherwise sickly sycophantic tech review.

For real. Read it, even if you don’t give a rat’s ass about printers.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Response to the sketch on the back of the proxy wasn’t exactly decisive, but I enjoyed making it. So I am doing another anyway.

this week’s giveaway is one of my favorite proxies, Turtles in Time Fling! With a sketch of Donatello on the back.

Follow and repost to enter, winner drawn on the 23rd!

I’m a Gen X parent, but it’s not super flattering to Gen X parents as a cohort that “found family” is now its own movie genre.

It's like having your B button be jump and your A button being attack. You've had to live with it and suck it up, but you know it's wrong and are truly unhappy with it. Then you discover button mapping, letting you to fix things. Suddenly your sorrow turns to elation as things finally feel right.

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

Tonight I'm going
To New York city
The place I'll call my home
And tonight I'm going where the climate's shitty
Where I won't feel so alone
And I will build it up right from the ground
With my own bare hands
Until the sun doth set
On the silhouette of this broken promise land
Say Anything "My Bare Hands"

Hades II is amazing. There are nods to both Lattimore's and Wilson's Odyssey translations.

Lattimore: “Tell me, Muse, of the man of many ways…”
Wilson: “Tell me about a complicated man…”

Hades II: “Some know him as the man of many ways; certainly he is a complicated one.”
