Not that it matters, but my vote goes to the first one. It’s just freaking adorable.

Watching the new King of the Hill is making me realize how much I’m turning into Hank

This is maybe the first things that’s actually made me *feel* like I’m getting older

No idea what this game is about, but these monochromatic pixel art backgrounds are such a cool vibe

As a St. John’s guy, I’m biased here—but the Lewis pick up is worth a gamble.

Also, while I’m not seeing them as any sort of contender…Celtics will make the playoffs in the east. I feel confident there.

Donate to Help Us Take Care of Jason, organized by James Greene Jr Hi, my name is Jim and I'm raising funds for my stepson Jason. Jason is a sweet and funny 1… James Greene Jr needs your support for Help Us Take Care of Jason

Our search for a wheelchair accessible van continues. It's tough because all the dealers are an hour away from us and J's wheelchair is so specialized it doesn't actually fit in most vans. We're also waiting to hear back from some lawyers about the guardianship issue. Thnx 4 all yr support!

A folded cardboard popsicle box. It is black with the words "Vampire's Secret Ice Pops" written in white and red, to give the appearance of blood being drained out. There is an image of a green vampire with a pompadour and big fangy grin, next to 3 purple ice pops, open at the top to reveal a red gooey center

Vampire’s Secret (1991-circa 1994): Vampire-themed frozen treats, consisting of bars of black cherry water ice on a stick, filled with a viscous red cherry sauce center (meant to represent blood, no doubt!)

Former Substack creators say they’re earning more on new platforms that offer larger shares of subscription revenue Former Substack writers who exited the platform in early 2024 are making more money on Beehiiv and Ghost thanks to their fixed pricing models.

Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost.

I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.

…the only answer I can think of is that the airlines are not serving us pizza out of spite

It would be SOOOOOOO much easier than the other food they serve

Ms. Rachel grew up on Mister Rogers. Now she’s carrying on his legacy. The YouTube star wants her audiences — adults and children alike — to see the humanity of all people.

“Speaking out for kids in this situation is more important than my career.”

More people need to internalize this.

I’m ok with the having the monochrome option…but a colorful option (preferably matching the original N64) feels like an obvious option to have as well.

Maybe saving that for later? Idk

I am really considering collecting the McFarlane SuperFriends figures…but I’m going to be super annoyed if I do and they don’t include the Hanna Barbera-created characters in the line.

I can’t do Harvey Birdman displays without Black Vulcan and Apache Chief!

A photograph of an ad for an anime and manga store called Cybernet, operating out of Irving, Texas. It offers Gundam Laser Discs, Dragon Ball Z candy, Akira cells, Lodoss War CD soundtracks, and Famicom converters for SNES. There's a pic of a Gundam in profile and chun-li too.

I like how this very much feels like an in-universe ad for a store you'd see in a Shadowrun sourcebook. CYBERNET! For all your decking and anime needs*
