i hate that AI has now caused me to question the authenticity of cute animal videos online, which is my primary use of social media. i don't even know if this baby penguin actually wore a beret to go buy a tiny baguette in paris

I really, really dislike LitRPG. Authors can only ask readers to suspend belief once, and layering on the characters keeping track of their stats is not just completely eye rolling but reveals all the cracks and flaws in the handwavium of the world building.

No wonder you’re so bummed about having to quarantine! How are you feeling? Did your vaccine spare you the worst of it?

They’re making you cook when you’re sick?

A grey blue washed image of a bearded young ish white guy looking into the mirror all serious with his palm pressed against it. A serif font title reads: DID I JUST ARGUE WITH A JOKE? A semi opaque navy snoot near the bottom bears the bluesky logo and the text PART OF A BLUESKY EDUCATIONAL SERIES

Yearly reminder that it’s a song about the Monster Mash. We don’t actually know what the Monster Mash sounds like.

I’m fucking high, right? This is a hallucination brought on by overwork and tequila, right?

The meeting went so well that Steve has been awarded some time off!

PANEL 1: ARTHUR, a yellow duck, runs up to SHELDON, a ten year old boy with large glasses, laying in the grass. In ARTHUR’s mouth he holds a book. ARTHUR: I got you a new fantasy book att he Library. SHELDON: Ooo! What is it? PANEL 2: ARTHUR has put the book down, while SHELDON sits up, annoyed. ARTHUR: Does it even matter? You’ll read ANY sword ’n sorcery book. SHELDON: How insulting! You think I’ll take any ol’ fantasy book you hand me? Whether or not it’s good? PANEL 3: ARTHUR stands on one leg as he sings his respond. SHELDON stops his train of thought. ARTHUR: [music notes] it has a maaaaap [music notes] of all the little kingdoms PANEL 4: ARTHUR stands quietly, amused, as SHELDON, eyes dilated, goes nose-deep in the book.

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu." Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

PANEL 1: GRAMP, an older bald man with a grey mustache, stands at the sink washing dishes. GRAMP: Alexa, play the Rolling Stones. PANEL 2: Closer up on GRAMP while he sinks deep into his thoughts. GRAMP: But, like, a concert from when they were STARTING. Something that feels young and fresh and hopeful about the future. PANEL 3: GRAMP, in silhouette as he continues washing dishes, sinking deeper in thought. GRAMP: Alexa… give me back my youth. PANEL 4: Back to reality, GRAMP continues washing dishes. ALEXA: Ordering 17 shirts that say “give me back my youth.” GRAMP: Dangit Alexa, NO! …order two at most. ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this?

Signing up for the national “do not call” list seems to have doubled the amount of junk texts I’m getting.

I wonder if we could get our house declared a dust mite sanctuary.

The Covid/flu vaccine didn’t give me any side effects beyond a really rough workout the next day.

The pneumonia vaccine that I got yesterday at my physical is kicking my butt.

I will not even be trying to workout today.

My nephews wife just had their first baby. That means I can no longer pretend I’m not old enough to be a grandpa.

I feel like Smaug and this post is the black arrow.

Thomas Nast, the father of the American political cartoon, was born on September 27, 1840. He created the elephant as the GOP symbol, popularized the donkey as the Dem symbol, shaped our notion of Santa Claus, helped end Tammany Hall, etc. (And the political cartoon is more important now than ever!)

the Catholic struggle of having to wait a full 27 minutes into this crime show before a criminal psychologist finally explains the victim’s odd pattern of wounds to the cops - but not to YOU, because you can clock a stigmata at fifty paces and have been waiting irritably for everyone to catch up
