I also remember seeing it growing up (mostly in media) to mean exactly that. I think it was associated/came from charades?

This is beyond appalling, and sadly emblematic of much of American politics. The desire stated is not to build a kinder world, but to enable and to quiet the increasing cruelty of this one. She should worried about having to explain her own disgusting worldview to her children.

It was, but I still manage to finish it. I haven't gotten to try it post-patch yet.

Literally just came back from a pub quiz where a group were booed & kicked out for using ChatGPT to cheat... On the picture round... Because they couldn't identify *Poseidon* in a line up of Greek Gods...

Don’t worry, the brave little boys of the NRA will step up to stop this tyrannical government second now.

PokΓ©mon FireRed/LeafGreen. I played the originals very young but when I came back in Gen3 I played Ruby & FR for hundreds & hundreds of hours. Those games reignited my love of the series which in turn led me to joining a certain forum (GR), which led to lifelong friends that I still meet up w/ today

It's my birthday weekend!

Which has empowered me to be extremely cheeky now and say that if you enjoyed SISTER WAKE and feel like giving me a lil birthday present, getting to 50 reviews on Amazon is incredibly important for a book's reach and every one helps - even a rating and a couple of words!

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

The Fight Over US Climate Rules Is Just Beginning As the EPA moves to roll back the endangerment finding, which allows it to regulate greenhouse gases, experts predict uncertainty for business and a protracted legal fight.

β€œI don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. β€œI don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.”

Sounds accurate to me.

March 3rd I’m kickstarting my game based on One Piece called Dawn of Liberation. It’s made as a love letter to the arc I caught up on.
I’ll try and reach out over the next 3 weeks to ask for help hyping it up. Of course if you preemptively want to help, let me know that would be very appreciated!πŸ™

If Newsom won, he'd talk a big game about normalcy, then do very little while the real impacts of Trump's devastation came home to roost. Most voters would blame him for this (a lie the media would help perpetuate) and we'd get another fascist in 2032.

We JUST had this with Biden! It sucked!

QotW: My only experience of Sonic that I can remember is a vague memory of seeing it played on a Dreamcast at another kid's house. I think us asking for something like it is what lead to my siblings & I getting a PlayStation.

That was it for the games, but I do remember enjoying the animated show.

James Van Der Beek was on one of the most popular and iconic shows of all time. His cancer treatments have bankrupted him so greatly, his friends have started a go fund me for his family.

Absolutely fuck this country and its god awful health care
