This is one of the very few classic Peanuts strips I hadn't seen, and it breaks my heart.

This is almost as good as "I was practicing my trombone and voice-to-text sent it as a transcript to my wife."

Abstention is dereliction of civic duty. If your clean conscience is more important than the results of allowing this to continue unchecked, you are not a moral or ethical person. Not voting for Kamala Harris or Hilary Clinton did not prevent genocide. Save your protestations.

It is never going to stop being weird to me that extremely-smooth (ie. 60fps) animation in 2D somehow screams "UNNATURAL, THIS SHOULD NOT BE." Funny how what is familiar is always what feels "normal," no matter how absurd it might be from a more objective point of view.

Like that, only more "the ineluctable scouring of nuclear fire." I am not about to make myself not be, but I would nonetheless welcome the opportunity to no longer be.

Perhaps I am just aggressively cynical, but all posts requesting engagement, donations, etc. strike me as perfect bullshit and I trust none of them. I will not share, repost, comment, etc. on any of them. I would like to feel otherwise. But I can't.

I would very much like to be freed from the compulsion to think. Please and thank you.

I love my team at work. Specifically because each of us makes allowances to deal with personal nonsense, yet we tease each other about it. "EVERYTHING JUST EXPLODED AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT OMG 😜" kind of silliness.

When I first came to Denver, I had access to all kinds of ethnic food and set out to experience the lot. Strongly recommend Ethiopian if you ever get the chance.

Yep! One of their central locations is a few miles down the road from me. That's who I was specifically thinking of.

If it's not "FUCK YES," then it's "FUCK NO." If you're arguing with yourself in your head right now, then you're almost certainly a rapist, too.

Your hand thrusts skyward. Incoming signal. Visions of an infinite universe. "Well done," says the Other. In this moment, you realize your efforts were for nothing. It never mattered which of you got there first. "Signal pinpointed," says the Other, followed by, "We are coming. Prepare your world."

Periodic reminder. If you want good selfies, there is a simple trick: Listen to something funny. When you laugh, click. Authentic and unforced smile every time, and it looks better than any pose you'll come up with.

I'm about to piss off a LOT of people, but... Posting on the internet is not activism. In many ways, it is anti-activism, as it provides a satisfying dopamine hit that fools us into thinking we've accomplished something when we have decidedly not, thereby engendering complacency.

Completely off the topic, but you have nice eyes. FOR ME TO SCOOP OUT WITH A MELON BALLE--uhh, I mean just nice eyes! Very pretty! This is an ordinary compliment and I'm definitely NOT hiding behind the coat rack!

I absolutely despise how EVERYTHING in the modern age is just marketing. I'm so sick of guest characters, collaborations, and crossovers. The Fortnite-ification of culture. Nothing can just be itself anymore. It all has to be strip-mined for maximum value extraction.

Wasn’t able to secure any review code for HELLRAISER unfortunately. But I found this amazing FB clip of Doug Bradley doing a Scouse Pinhead and now I’m crying from laughter. He’s amazing. (Source: YMH Podcast.)

I am 52 years old, and I suspect my entire lifespan will (assuming humanity still exists to critique culture by 2050 or so) be regarded no more than a hiccup. All that I love will be carried away, and may future generations benefit from the purging.

Dangit. I suspect this might be the next game to compel me to pay full MSRP.

How is the roguelite progression treating you? I'm excited for vanishingly few racing games, but this one looks insanely fun.

Later that evening, all the ladies in band simultaneously discovered a talent for throat-singing. All involved responded to the press identically: "No comment." This reporter is said to be deeply jealous!

There is justification to arrest any parent who uses "godly" as part of their reasoning behind why and how they abused their children. Gods and magic aren't real, and no one who takes this shit seriously should be allowed to raise children. I said what I said and I stand by it.

Trump supporters are traitors to the nation, and deserve a traitor's reward. Yes, that entails you being restrained, placed against a wall, and a ballistic projectile being placed forcibly in your brain. You are not worthy of consideration and you will not be missed.

Yeah! Racing tends to be repetitive by its nature, but the roguelite structure is such a good fit. Since I don't do online multiplayer, this seems like the PERFECT answer to keeping me engaged. I'm excited to play it, but I want to play it on the couch. So I'm very curious on base PS5 performance.
