Just eat baby!

We were driving along, I was looking at my phone, and @gull.us said “some signs really need to have commas.”

I looked out the window just in time

well i for one couldn’t be more excited for the possibilities of AI. finally a technology that answers the age old question ‘what if clippy was wormtongue’

I really do think this is an excellent metaphor for the moment.

Forgive me

The power of the placebo effect is that even though the brooms don't do anything, the stones still slide further because they *think* they do

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

GM: Charisma check.

Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]

GM: that’s a d6 how did you

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

I mean, to be fair, they're not actually making any Dyson spheres either.

Exception that proves the rule: Asimov wrote "Nemesis" shortly before his death, and the main character (a human girl) and her mother are both people! Don't know of any other exceptions. "The Gods Themselves" has a femme-coded alien written OK, but terrible writing for the human woman.

I would totally buy a bandcamp album of a new recording of the songs you had on the Ozy and Millie website back in the day.

I remember the little space game thing. My dad had it on his work computer when I was young (running Windows NT 3.5 or 4 for an age range). In his case probably came as a sample with a C++ SDK. Think you could build upgrades on a claimed planet you were landed on? Can't remember much more than that.

A group of quiet gray nondescript people sit on a bench, all looking down, their hands held in various positions of distress and anxiety. In the second panel, the one in the middle speaks up - “We're all... here... right?” “I think we're here together...” “... I think we all want to scream for help...”

We zoom in on the talking middle person as the others try to avoid looking at them, the person continuing, “But we know we're all here... And if we need help, so does everyone else... We want to help, I think”... in the second panel the face is zoomed in completely but layered over images of colorful bright happier people helping their loved ones – one cooks for a sick friend, an abled person is sweeping up for a person in a wheelchair, two are hugging as one cries, and one is a person painting a fence.... “I think we fantasize about all the ways we wish we could help the people we love...” “All the ways we could be there if we weren't so broken, so tired, so numb...” “... Then we swim in the guilt of not doing any of those things...” “... Because we need help too... but there's no one we can ask... because we know they need it more” “... We're all... HERE... right?”

The gray middle person looks to their side as the others stay silent, the room darkening around them as they wait. In the last, they look even more alone as they speak, “... It's okay. I know you're too tired to answer” “... I'm here too” “... I get it...”

just a comic about society-wide burnout, depression, and isolation

This is funnier than anything Gervais has done in 15 years.

I was going to reply with an example of a bad adaptation that damaged the reputation of the original, but I can't think of one. I was assuming that was a reasonable concern, but I might be wrong that it's even a risk!

And honestly, if I was making a list of great late-20th-century comic strips? Garfield would have to be on there in addition to Calvin & Hobbes.

Like, I agree you put your reputation somewhat at risk when you allow adaptations, but it usually works out fine, and sometimes works out really well. Like, nobody hates Peanuts because they saw A Charlie Brown Christmas.

"Emperor Tiddles! We have just received a report! The Earthman yet lives!"
"WHAT? GORDON'S ALIVE?"

A still from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Gul Dukat is sitting in Sisko's chair, drinking kanar and acting like he owns the place. (Dukat is a Cardassian, a kind of grey alien with bony ridges on their face and neck.) Caption: "... is s there a single statue of me on Bajor?"

The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

I fucking love memes you can understand through the language barrier, holy shit
