Well it apparently wasn't bug repellant...

Now now, the campaign finance board is just matching Adams. Mostly matching his energy: they take his campaign as seriously as he does. 🤣

Justin Timberlake has announced he powered through his half-dead tour despite suffering from lyme disease. For it to last the whole tour suggests PTLDS. I personally wish he'd rested up until he is fully cured.

(Full Confession: I know PTLDS is incurable. I said what I said.)

It's used for some flambes, creme brulee, and various charring techniques.

(This fact brought to you by someone who insisted all food cooked with a propane torch "tastes like crap because of all the chemicals
")

Today's interesting fact: Propane does not have a smell or taste. The chemical you smell is an additive, mercaptan, that informs you of leaks and when propane burns it breaks down to water vapor. So, if someone tells you propane-cooked food "tastes like chemicals" they're tasting improper cleaning.

A scam email, inviting me to pay for a newsletter spot.

I'm sure most of you don't need to be told, but just in case:

If you ever plan to run a crowdfund? You'll probably get emails like this at the start. Don't fall for it. This is bullshit and does not work.

Not yet, but we're definitely starting to build the infrastructure.

The ancient Romans also appreciated a lil dude. A lil birthday boy if you will.

My photo shows a Roman ornamental fountain spout in the shape of a frog excavated from the vesuvian area. Made of glazed terracotta, the frog is viewed from the side. It is sitting with its head to the right and raised upwards with mouth slightly ajar for water to pass through. In colour it is creamy-beige with darker greeny-brown bumps. The glaze is missing from the throat and mouth area. The glaze on the surface of the body appears bumpy like that of a toad although the museum describe it as a ‘rana’ / frog.

Roman fountain spout in the shape of a frog. Glazed terracotta. From Pompeii, 1st century AD.

Great to see ornamental froggie fountain spouts have been popular for 2,000 years! 🐸❤️

Sorrows, sorrows. Thoughts and prayers.

You married a man who bought plane tickets to hunt a creature the locals call "the Black Death." He paid real money from his own pocket for the privilege of travelling to his own funeral. This was not the way I would pursue assisted suicide, but the level of planning implies a relatively sound mind.

A unique thing about racism is that because race is a constantly relative concept, it's incredibly hard to build walls between "us" and "them" that aren't porous, and as a result racists will often craft policies that punish themselves as well if it's the only way to deny something to their victims.

I cannot stress this enough: If you hate poor people just say that. You don't need to moralize the aid that you give them or treat them like their circumstances are because they're too stupid to succeed. Save time. At least your contempt is more honest than this remixed White saviorism.

"Hey Gemini, tell my spouse we're getting a divorce but send it in a serious tone. Reference the messages you wrote for them. Block any replies."

"Okay, but like... do you have any like USEFUL advice?"

"Pull her aside before things start and tell her in the calmest voice possible: Hey, for me this is just for fun but if he starts to catch some feelings you can take him."

"What. The. Fuck."

"Trust me, it takes the fun out of it for them."

"Uncle Bo, he wants to do a threesome."

"Alright, what's the scheduling like?"

"WHAT!?"

"Oh, that's probably not what you're worried about, huh? Believe me, it gets trickier as the number grows."

🤣🤣🤣

The pure, unfiltered shock on my goddaughter's face when I had to tell her that the adult things she was embarrassed about wouldn't even raise my eyebrow. My sweet, sweet summer child... your godfather was a slut before you'd taken your first breath. Wake me up when you kids invent a new trick. 🤣

When I feel like I need to live my truth, I watch that clip of Adele singing Someone Like You as she sat in court signing her divorce papers. The judge was not happy, and Adele just didn't care. She was going to give that marriage the kiss-off it deserved, one note at a time. Living her truth.🤣

Some people aspire to be known for their gifts. I'm satisfied to be dreaded for my curses.

Well, that's an immediate phobia in that kid's future... The part that confuses me is: How did they not perform a headcount? Either there were so few children that one absent should have been identified or there were enough that they should have roll called.

Which of course raises the question "What does it take to concern a sex trafficker" but perhaps that question answers itself.

Honestly, I love this journey for all of them and I hope it leads to a place that treats them all equally. Let me put that into the universe. 🤣

Clark the Mailshark, a happy anthropomorphic hammerhead shark standing on the ocean floor. He is standing next to coral, some rocks, and there is a small school of fish in the background.

A scene in outer space; a large train-like vehicle levitates on magnetic rails, a small, nimble ship flying around the train, a chess match happening inside the train, a pair of robots conversing outside the train, a robot skating on the magnetic rail, an astronaut in his space suit underneath an arch eating a sandwich, all on a background of stars and gas

Clark the Mailshark, an anthropomorphic hammerhead with a worried expression, wearing a blue mailman shirt, jeans, a belt, and with a satchel around on his shoulder. Light filters in from the ocean above.

four areas with various themes: one sandy area with a craggy rock formation, one grassy plain with a lone tree, one house with a garage and bushes, and one indoor theater.

New pinned!

Hi folks! I'm Olive :3

I mostly do pixel art/animation but I'll occasionally do 3d stuff, music, gamedev, anything to do with the gameboy color :3, etc.

My portfolio's at www.artstation.com/livvyglizzy
I take commissions at vgen.co/livvyglizzy
And I stream at www.twitch.tv/livvyglizzy

I dunno, but you can manually edit either file in a plaintext program and they're fairly human readable. Maybe find the offending line in one and delete it.

Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams are in a high-stakes staring contest Mounting independent bids, the former governor and mayor are splitting votes, which could ensure a Mamdani win.

Mmmmm yeah, talk dirty to me. A split ticket paving the way for Mamdani? Hot. Ooo and Silwa promises he won't drop out unless he's deceased? I'll hold him to that campaign promise. And they're all running on "tough on crime, straighten these thugs out" campaigns? Everything's coming up Millhouse...

No problem. If you don't already, I strongly encourage you to watch speedrunners for this very reason; the essence of what they're doing is deconstructing the mechanics of a game to find optimal paths, including comparing strategies between games. This ends up really shining a light on what matters.

Kind of. One of the starkest differences: Soulslikes can be practiced so perfectly you can play without even watching or hearing it. Virtually everything from the moment you start is deterministic and predictable. By contrast a roguelike has exploitable patterns but no guarantees when they'll occur.

And the only people who do are middle-of-the-road "moderators" who don't understand that oppression isn't an accident and empowered people perceive equality as oppression. "If you would just lay down your grievances--" My grievance is that they don't want me to exist. Ironically, that's also theirs.

Me, sobbing.
