It blows my mind this wasn’t a Jim Henson production

Remember, tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Buddy, sign me up. I can't deny the charming antics of Gold Ship and would be lying if I was saying otherwise

I am a simple man, if I see the "We all hung out in the coffee shop called Poopy's up on the strip" clip, I have to repost it

I am not against the anime horse girls but there is a certain feeling of stolen valor I can't ignore

Imagine how many strange and weird horses have lived throughout history we’ll never know about. Yet they make one game about them being anime girls and now everyone wants to be a Horse Professor…

9. If you use Al to write something for you, it is meaningless and we'd all be better off if you had never said anything in the first place.

This is the thing: Writing is meaning. The reason we write things is to express some sort of meaning, to pass along important information, to convey a human emotion or sensation. It doesn't matter whether the writing is grammatically correct, or vividly expressed. It matters that it came from you. That is the point of writing. If you ask a Chatbot to write something for you, you are being fundamentally unhuman and foundationally dishonest. I am not going to bend on this one. If it requires an Al bot for you to express something to me, you and I are probably not actually friends.

One of my favorite bits of Nintendo trivia is that Shigesato Itoi named it the Nintendo 64 because he finds it so important to drink 64 oz of water a day. It’s rumored that when he found out any of his staff hadn’t drank 8 cups of water that he’d transform them into a newt with an evil spell

Single panel cartoon in the style of Gary Larson Far side.

Hacker T. Dog, a dog puppet in a flashy shirt, pulls a goofy smile behind a table of 4 crudely made tools as his co-host, Lauren, puts her thumb and forefinger to her nose trying to stifle laughter.

Caption reads "just normal tools."

A photo of two drawings. On the left is a rat like creature with two mouths wearing a ball cap and a backpack. On the right is Hellen from Look Outside, a muscular woman in a black jumpsuit wielding a butcher's knife and wearing a hockey mask. Above Hellen is a word balloon that reads "I think something GOOD will happen. I don't know what but it will be GOOD."

Finished Look Outside and ofc, had to draw two of my favorite party members. I liked slowly turning my teeny apartment into a home for misfits and mutants ✨

I loved this game and let everyone in, including the Creep. I regret it, not that he did anything evil but the fact they got the right kind of annoying guy down so perfect

Oh that's a fun idea. Also I've been recommending people check out Geats on Shout Factory TV since it's free and easy to stream or if they're good at torrenting, getting all the episodes of Gavv because it's been my favorite Reiwa season so far

I continue to dig deeper in the sands of the Sahara Desert, my assistant looking worried as the sun beats down on us. “Why do you do this?” they ask as I calmly reply, “We need to find the Joe Rogan of mummies if we want to save democracy”
