Me and the greebster
Greebo, a fluffy tuxedo cat, lies on top of a chair that Jacob, a white person with brown hair, is sitting in. Greebo is lying at a 90 degree angle so his feet are flat against the wall behind the chair.

(for context, I beat the False Knight on September 15th, 2019. I beat Greenpath Hornet four days later, on September 19th. In memory it always feels like it took me multiple weeks to beat Hornet, but it was about four days.)
Two steam achievements for the video game Hollow Knight. They are "test of resolve", unlocked September 19th, and "falsehood", unlocked September 15th.

Happy #makeaterriblecomicday2025!

I was too ashamed of my drawing skills to participate last year, so I'm proud of myself for doing it this time.
A comic titled: MAKE A TERRIBLE COMIC DAY Panel 1: Jacob is sitting in his bed. The caption says: "I don't know what to draw" Panel 2: A cat is sitting on a windowsill. There are vague impressions of flowers and trees outside the window. The caption says: "my cat was sitting on the windowsill for a bit" Panel 3: a lone figure stands in the dark, illuminated by a spotlight. The caption says: "I get very self-conscious" Panel 4: a hand holds a pen. The caption says: "of my ability" Panel 5: a small version of the layout of the comic. The caption says: "to draw" Panel 6: Jacob is standing with his cat sitting next to him. The caption says: "but you don't get good without first being bad. So I know I can Keep On Improving every time I draw. I'm gonna play Elden Ring now."

I wonder, what was it about these lyrics, combined with footage of the situation in Guatemalan refugee camps at the time, that made YouTube want to come down on a video uploaded in 2007?

I *wonder* why now?
[Verse 1] Here comes the helicopter Second time today Everybody scatters And hopes it goes away How many kids they've murdered Only God can say, hey [Chorus] If I had a rocket launcher If I had a rocket launcher If I had a rocket launcher I'd make somebody pay [Verse 2] I don't believe in guarded borders And I don't believe in hate I don't believe in generals Or their stinking torture states And when I talk with the survivors Of things too sickening to relate [Chorus] If I had a rocket launcher If I had a rocket launcher If I had a rocket launcher I would retaliate [Verse 3] On the Rio Lacantún One hundred thousand wait To fall down from starvation Or some less humane fate Cry for Guatemala With a corpse in every gate [Chorus] If I had a rocket launcher If I had a rocket launcher If I had a rocket launcher I would not hesitate [Verse 4] I wanna raise every voice At least I've got to try Every time I think about it Water rises to my eyes Situation desperate Echoes of the victims cry [Chorus] If I had a rocket launcher If I had a rocket launcher If I had a rocket launcher Some son of a bitch would die

Unfortunately the general state of wikipedia articles for the Skatalites isn't great, so I can't really confirm that the Skatalites got President Kennedy, or at least part of it from Yeh Yeh.

But it seems pretty damn likely!

Yeh Yeh is a latin soul song, that was originally recorded by Mongo Santamaria in *1963*
"Yeh, Yeh" (in some territories released as "Yeah, yeh, yeh") is a Latin soul tune that was written as an instrumental by Rodgers Grant and Pat Patrick, and first recorded by Mongo Santamaría on his 1963 album Watermelon Man! Lyrics were written for it shortly thereafter by Jon Hendricks of the vocal group Lambert, Hendricks & Ross.

All my love to TMBW, the TMBG wiki, because this was *super* helpful!

a quote from John Linnell, in Rage, April 2002: "It was recorded by Georgie Fame, but apparently it's — we're not actually completely clear on this, but it appears that it was an instrumental before it was this Georgie Fame song, that John Hendricks, of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, made up words to... which is something that that vocal group used to do; they would take a popular instrumental — or an unpopular instrumental — and make up crazy words to it, and I think this belongs in that category. It's definitely the case with the song 'Twisted' that Joni Mitchell covered — popularly known as 'my analyst told me'; some of you may remember. And [this] may well be the case; it sounds as if Yeh Yeh was written the same way, but sadly we're uninformed about this particular song."
