In Cyberpunk 2013 there's a bit about your empathy hitting 1 or less leading to mental problems, which kinda feels very prescient all things considered.

An excerpt from Cyberpunk 2013 about cyberpsychosis titled "Blazing Brains".

It starts "When a character's Empathy descends to 1 or less, he's going to have some serious mental problems."

Sorry, I'm late to this thread. Did you name it a "bun" because the roundness resembles a bun? I've attached a picture of a bun for reference:

A picture of a bun, otherwise known as a "rabbit", in their natural habitat: not on a plate. On the scale of "round" to "mad prophet", this bun is somewhat closer to "round", but you can see the seeds of madness in their eyes.

You gotta be careful about chasing novel experiences, it's a slippery slope. One day you're drinking pop tart iced tea, and the next you can't get your fix without a little murder.

He's also indirectly responsible for one of my favorite footnotes of all time.

I'd describe it more as a mistake than an accident. It is arguably directly responsible for Columbus.

An excerpt from the Wikipedia article on the history of Spain. It reads: The joint rule of Isabella I and Ferdinand II is historiographically considered the foundation of a unified Spain. The conquest of Granada, and the first voyage of Columbus, both in 1492, made that year a critical inflection point in Spanish history. The same year saw the expulsion of Spain's Jews and the conversion of many others to Christianity. In the subsequent decades, the voyages of the explorers and conquistadors of Spain helped establish a

Related, I came across this in "Anarchism: a Beginner's Guide" while trying to find some decent reading to point you at if you want to read about it, and it struck me as pretty emblematic of the wider ideals of anarchism (i.e. there is no agreement between these flavors):

A table from "Anarchism: A Beginners Guide".
It is titled "Three Anarchist Views of Power" and details some positions of Anarcho-syndicalists, primitivists, and postmodernists. They agree on nothing.

I ordered some coffee that also went on a journey. Thankfully the package arrived untampered (otherwise I'd have had to go on a journey of revenge for my coffee.)

Many of these poems by Piet Hein were accompanied by little pen illustrations, and Consolation Grook had this illustration:

There's a Tumblr post (attached) that I love that is about Michael Caine and Tim Curry in their respective Muppets movies:

A screen cap Tumblr post with a pair of images of Michael Caine in the Muppets A Christmas Carol and Tim Curry in Treasure Island.

The text in the post reads:
"the reason Michael Caine and Tim Curry are so good in their respective Muppets movies is that Michael Caine treats the Muppets as fellow actors, and Tim Curry treats himself as a fellow Muppet

discuss"

The response by emmaubler reads:
"No, no need to discuss your analysis is spot on."

My cats have been very supportive of me over the past couple of days, and I'm very glad for them. Your cats trust you and care about you in their own very cat way.

Now that I am computer-adjacent: To turn off Restricted Mode in the browser, click your profile icon on the top right and it will be in the menu that shows up there, about 2/3rds of the way down. I don't have any iDevices, so I sadly can't show how to turn off Restricted Mode on iOS.

I'm not computer adjacent right now, and don't know where to find that yet but it is a *per-device setting.* To turn it off on Android, go to your profile and click the cog on the top right. After that select "General" and it will be in there towards the bottom.

Can confirm, I read it on the wiki.

Screenshot of the Gem drop table on the OSRS wiki, the first line has the item "Existential dread" and there's a footnote reading "The existential dread drop is removed when wearing a ring of wealth."

The right tried pushing that story a few years ago, but it didn't get any real traction. But really, I think we should be more worried about this:

The exaggerated contrast highlighting the facial contours is there and everything (not sure if that's due to flash photography or postprocessing tbh, could be either.) Poster for the show Lucifer that is going for the same thing, but somehow more subtly, for reference:

There is time for both action and cats. Not just because cats are great, but because you need to take care of yourself and sometimes taking care of yourself is looking at cute cat pictures. We aren't going to make it through this in one piece if we don't take care of ourselves.

I kinda suspected the author played Eve Online when I got to this line that seems to be a corruption of "If you quit can I have your stuff", which is a bit of a meme in the Eve playerbase.

Excerpt from one of The Expanse books including the phrase: "If you die," Holden said, "can I have all your stuff?"
