Mario Wiki screenshot of Goomba’s character profile from the DS mahjong game Yakuman DS. They are rated a one-star difficulty level, and the description reads:
“Goomba 
Does not understand mahjong very well, but he may sometimes win the game”

i dont want to be in a fandom that critisizes the choices of fictional characters like they are human beings. i want to see THEORY and ANALYSIS and STORY STRUCTURE and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!! I WANT PARALLELS AND MOTIFS AND VISUAL CUES!!! They're not REAL they are TOOLS so stop acting like they are people who made bad choices and should be punished. of course they made bad choices!!! that shit is funny and cool to watch!!

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

Meme I stole from Tumblr:

A closeup image of a Sony point and shoot camera with lots of buttons and knobs and whatnot.

Text says "The tactile interface fandom is dying. Repost if you're a true knobhead."

Screenshot of text:

unfuck google drive by shooting gemini
Hey folks! Google is fucking you via sneaky enshittification again!
Want the shit in your google drive to load instantly again, instead of taking for-fucking-ever?
Open your gdrive (web OR app)
Settings > Manage Apps
Gemini was checked "use as default" (and i sure the fuck didn't set it that way, this was a silent push)
Nuke that, and suddenly, folders that took up to a minute to populate and sort do so in a fraction of a second.
