genuinely hilarious when it cuts back to him and he's doing the walking backwards one hand in pocket stand-up "what else what else" move

Everyone knows that "Preferences" should be found under Edit (because you edit them), under Tools (because they control the parameters of your tools), under General (because they are categorically broad), & under File (because a preference is a 'filing off' from a marble block of possibility)

It also blows my mind to see people around my age act like it was awesome to be in college and then a young adult in the late 2000s and early 2010s

Did they somehow miss the part where no one could find a job? did they memory hole that? i mean i too enjoy MGMT but that didn't really COMPENSATE

Oh man I keep meaning to write a zine about making zines and drop it off in the little free libraries around town

I was a rural kid with friends who lived in the city and so even in the mid-90s the internet was such a lifeline. I totally see where these kids are coming from

Imagine hinging your identity around memorising a bunch of moves and plays and scenarios when you could just base it on waiting in anticipation for your opponent to kill your squig herder so you can both double over laughing as squigs devour half your battle line

It’s so weird people would choose to be terfs when they could just play Warhammer and be orcs and yell “waaagh!” while running their goofy guys into a wall of spears while behind them a goblin explodes in flames while trying to load a catapult

“I can’t play bass like this,” Jaco Pastorius fretted.

The real smart person game is Warhammer but only the really unhinged kinds of Warhammer that the nerds (complimentary) and weirdos (complimentary) play

We really gotta stop pretending that playing chess is an indication of a smart person because like seriously look at these nerds (derogatory)

Simple notepad table of eye colours mapped to a roll of a D6

I got a brand new genAI tool to sell him. It’s pricey, but I believe he’ll find it worth the $50/month subscription (minimum commitment of 5 years, billed up-front. Auto renewal; cancellation requires in-person visit to the customer service department on Pluto)

Blue pink white trans flag spray-painted, with a pirate skull symbol painted in black with the word YARRRR! underneath.

When you're walking along an old railroad right of way sometimes you discover trans pirates have been there already.

My work was interdisciplinary so I opted for a platypus.

Kids get it

New AI cryptid just dropped (see also: Loab, Crungus)

🎶 She ain’t Minnesotan she just “oop” that way 🎵

That the modern manosphere is heavily shaped by now divorced Gen X/Xennial guys angry specifically because it became socially unacceptable to behave how they did in the 90's without consequence should be example enough regarding what the culture was actually like back then.

It’s so good! I think people simply miss all the humour and the deft building and undermining of tension as needed

I really don’t want to excuse bad behaviour with “tu quoque”, but I do think it’s a worthwhile point to raise when talking about the erosion of niceties, because that feels like an appropriate reason to not offer him a free pass

Misread “furies” as “furries” and can we have both?

Bought that for my 7yo and he was obsessed. He was even more thrilled when I let him use the real thing haha

I find it odd that the article discussed the crumbling of tradition on the face of hyperpartisanship while not nothing that Poilievre may be the person in politics today most responsible for throwing those traditions and niceties away

Discovered today that not everyone considers this nine year old viral tweet a seminal text in the field of social media studies but I do

An exciting announcement! — Get Cross with Words || Crosswords by Chris Piuma Hey, it’s my birthday! Also, I’ve spent the last few months writing and recording an album. That’s right, the band is back together. After you finish this puzzle, you should check it out on  Band...

Here's a new crossword that, if you've been paying attention to my posts here today, will be a little easier for you... But just a little.

Struggling to find it now but I visited some kind of ‘pataphysics museum in Portland which is pretty on the nose I guess

Illustration. A self portrait done in procreate on deep warm pink paper. I’m sitting in a field surrounded by weeds and wildflowers holding zinnias. My skin is bright green. Some stylized 60s butterflies frame me, they have minty green colored stars. Above is a very deep blue night sky full of yellow stars, it says acid lich in a green 60s style hand lettering and there are pink clouds in the sky. It’s framed by stripes of the colors used in the piece, brown, orange, pink, yellow, green, bright blue and lavender.

Listen, you don't need chatGPT to brainstorm. I know it's daunting and difficult but just remember, you want to cast Brainstorm immediately before a shuffle effect, so with a fetch already in play or sometimes in your main phase before your land drop.
