Dear Australian Survivor,
I can’t wait to watch you, even though I’ll miss JLP and can’t imagine you without him.

Dear American Survivor,
Let Grandpa Jeff retire. Hire JLP!!!

I love how you snuck-in “National talk like Yoda day”.

Love it, I do. 🤣

Owls are pretty cool. 😎

Dull Blade.

I’m not a big fan of seeing Simon’s ham-fisted gameplay again. He doesn’t seem to learn his lessons from having played before, as you hope to see from a returning player.

There are so many better AU players that I’d have preferred to see get a chance to evolve as a returning player.

Hey Art Friends!

My 2026 calendars just went live for pre-order on my website! I will be signing and numbering the first 200 sold. The pre-order will last for until next Thursday; kaitlynpage.storenvy.com 🥰

I'm featuring all new art this year! Thank you!

Wow! A whole year delay for GTA 6.

It’s release date reminds me of this gif of a truck never actually hitting a pole. 🤣

I hope it’s to improve the core gameplay as opposed to what they did with RDR2, which was inject the game with unnecessarily pedantic elements.

SurvivorAU: Redemption cast photo. 24 people, four of whom are returnees (Harry, Simon, Brooke, Mark Warnock).

First pass at the #SurvivorAU cast photo:

-While the AU alums are split evenly between the blue (Simon, Harry) and green (Brooke, Mark) tribes, it looks like the other RTV vets (Cat, Johnson, Don Rogers) are all on the green tribe.

-The word on the buffs is probably "Redemption," not tribe names?

My condolences to you and your family. 🕊️

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

I really wish someone had flipped-the-script on Jeff and asked “Jeff, talk about how overheating is an allegory to playing the game of Survivor! How does it compare? Which is tougher?” 😂

Ugh. 😩

I don’t know about the actual figures but I’m autistic and nearly drowned as a child. My auntie dragged me out just as I had released my final breath.

But I’m just one data point.

A classic.

Our natural autistic resistance to mindless groupthink is a survival advantage.

Chimpanzees rationally revise their beliefs The selective revision of beliefs in light of new evidence has been considered one of the hallmarks of human-level rationality. However, tests of this ability in other species are lacking. We examined...

Even chimpanzees think rationally and weigh the evidence when making a choice ;-)

Ugh. A merge should be a celebration for viewers and players alike, not something everyone dreads.

I wish they’d let us view these new dynamics play out organically without the contrived drama.

Agreed. A natural merge is entertaining enough TV as it is without trying to shoehorn a ‘Probstian’ twist in there.

Probstian is a term I’ve coined: To shoehorn a redundant or regressive game-mechanic into Survivor.

The ‘hourglass twist’ being peak Probstian.

Nice! 🙌 Looking forward to seeing it!

As an #autistic person, there’s this highly relatable scene in The Simpsons where Marge is trying to clearly order a coffee, but the bartender keeps misinterpreting her as saying “beer”.

*Friels’

Although the portrayal of #autism is a bit stereotypical, Colin Friel’s performance brings a quiet dignity to autism that is lacking in characters like Sheldon Cooper.

YouTube video by Prangola Malcolm 1986

As a late diagnosed #autistic I rewatched the movie ‘Malcolm’ whose protagonist is *so* obviously autistic.

It makes so much sense now why I really related to Malcolm when I saw it as a child. Although I didn’t know what #autism was.

You can watch it on YouTube for free: youtu.be/NjJXExbQ-ww?...

It’s getting louder.

Slowly but surely the big institutions are catching up. C19 damage is making it into the medical mainstream. People have published it for a long time, now it’s turning up in teaching materials, public announcements.

It’s getting louder.
