They added this, just to make their point:

Found in an Amazon review. Thanks for really cheering me up, [name redacted]!

Review for a tablet: THE PROTECTIVE PACKAGING LAYER IS BLUE. REMOVE IT FOR FULL COLOR ACCURACY.
IF YOU BUY THIS, DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID. REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE LAYER.

This tablet comes with a plastic film to protect its screen while in transport. This plastic film is BLUE. For a year straight, I thought this tablet had weak/unbalanced lighting that made everything slightly blue, but it was actually the protective layer I didn't remove because I didn't want to scratch it.

Remove the layer and replace it with an actual screen protector. It will greatly improve the visual accuracy.

Forget the goat vs bird debate - is this "praying hands" or "high five"?

The two hands pressed together emoji. Is this two people giving a high five, or one person with hands in prayer?

*opens mailbox* Hmm... let's see what's on sale at the supermarket-- What the hell? SOUP in a BAG?? God, what would Bruce McCulloch think of this? #kidsinthehall #soupinabag

This innocent pic gave me shivers. I mean, the mayor's a good dude and all. But there's this one horror themed RPG, and your first exposure to its cosmic horrors is when your character is "invited to a night at the opera". Before you know it, you're holster-deep in slime and Fish-Men. #DeltaGreen

Screenshot from a recent video by Mayor Zohran Mamdani where he invites the viewer to a night at the opera - which is the codeword for "secret mission to save the world from Lovecraftian nightmares" in the role-playing game Delta Green.

The mayor of course was just talking about the musical art form.

You find some cool stuff on Bluesky. On Thursday I take this picture (sunflower) and on Saturday I find an entire account of similar things!

Well, this at least will be much harder to counterfeit. Look at how easy it is to spot the phony bill made on the old paper:

Just the bottom third of the vertical dollar, with the rest of the counterfeit bill being blank space.

Top 5 Simpson quotes: 1. I can see through time! 2. Oh, I'm not a doctor 3. With a dry cool wit like that, I could be an action hero 4. I'm seein' double here! Four Krustys! 5. 782 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield Oh--hiya Maude! The order in which I would rank them is 4, 2, 1, 5, 3.

I liked the team-up he did with the shockingly young youngest member of Power Pack. All the best stories about a warrior or berserker or Samurai are about their humanity.

I get tree frogs visiting my back deck quite often. There's something charming about how fragile these little guys seem.

Bruce McDonald's "Roadkill" - a Canadian film that really affected me. Even in black and white, the Northern Ontario summer looks incredible - desolate then beautiful then back to eerie again.

The greatest movie villain of all time is made entirely out of marshmallow, I think nobody can deny that. This figure has a red LED in his tummy that lights up for "roasting".

It's the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. We used to roast them at Camp Wakanda!

Hey, if it makes you feel a bit better in this eleventh year of 2016, buy it. Money isn't going to do much good after the Jackpot happens anyway. I've never owned X-men toys before this week, and these are kind of cool. Ororo with the mohawk there is pretty bad ass. #actionfigures #marvellegends

Some of the best comics I ever read as a kid had that cover, you know the kind I mean, filled with jagged balloons declaring how deadly and dangerous some brand new schmo is, and it's not until decades later you think "Oh, that issue labeled 'BEWARE of mighty RIPSNORT!' was filler."

The cover of comic book "West Coast Avengers" #10, with villainous randos HEADLOK and GRIFFIN.
