what is with that "froM," there's nothing to be capitalized anywhere around there

now that I think about it, a detective story that appears to be simple and straightforward only for the detective to experience an unpredictable injury - and for it to *not* involve being shot - could make things interesting in terms of complications

A health alert on a pack of cigarettes sold in Canada. It's a picture of teeth pressed together, with the teeth yellowing and parts of the gums rotting to purple and black. The text reads "WARNING - CIGARETTES CAUSE MOUTH DISEASES - Cigarette smoke causes oral cancer, gum diseases and tooth loss."

when I worked at a gas station, whenever people bought cigarettes I would go out of my way to give them packs with this "Cigarettes Cause Mouth Diseases" packaging because I thought it was the most disgusting one then available

smoking is bad and vaping makes you look like a complete dork and is also bad

fortunately, while I was in Japan I bought a bunch of cooling sheets for this exact purpose, but by the time I got back to the hotel with them I realized I didn't need them. very thankful to Chief Arino and GameCenter CX for teaching me that these things existed in the first place

A manhole in a sidewalk along Queen Street West in Toronto. The cover is visibly misaligned and is not flush with the surrounding sidewalk.

behold the bastard that did this to me

my cat is watching me with confused concern as I limp around the house

the punchline would be if it travelled by airmail on the same plane you took home!

"Hey there, it's Josh. Welcome back to Let's Game It Out."

i made it home and am somehow still alive!

$250/barrel by next wednesday. $15/gallon, rationed gasoline. the total collapse of car culture and the suburban lifestyle. get ready to take the fuckin' bus folks

I'm on a train right now!

that I would choose to walk multiple kilometres on a sprained ankle because I had stuff to do yet probably says a lot

Simmons: i tell you, it's political correctness gone mad!
Simmons: why, it's getting so that you can't even be racist anymore!
Mary Shelley: hey
Shelley: aren't you dead
Simmons:
Simmons: wow
Simmons: too soon

An image of Lae'zel caressing the Gith egg with the caption "My child will not be allowed to use chat gpt. He will be smarter and stronger than the other children and he will kill them easily."

if you must sprain your ankle while away from home, I heartily recommend you be ~100 kilometres away rather than ~10,000 kilometres away

sprained my ankle again earlier but it's fine. totally fine. i'm 99% closer to home than the last time this happened and anyway i do not take orders from ankles

thought process on seeing a parked cybertruck: "oh, it's disgusting. I have to photograph it."

so i did, with my phone *and* my 1994 film camera loaded with black and white, for artistic purposes

it me

I don't know how to explain this but Casablanca is a movie for adults.

There are lots of movies built on an element of fantasy about being young or brave or defying the odds.

Casablanca is not that. Everyone in that movie has back pain and they have all just accepted it.

I guess there must've been a trademark issue, because otherwise it seems like it should've been a slam dunk to rename the Minnesota North Stars to the Dallas Lone Stars

clearly they need to release a prequel in 2027, then

in all the years I spent in school I never had a classroom with an angled ceiling. so infuriating!

the first time I was in the UK it was when Teenage Mutant *ahem* Hero Turtles was on the air and I'm actually thankful for that because it prepared me for how fucking ridiculous that place is

"Role-play"? You mean porn performers dressed like knights? That is the "unsavoury" element - why would anyone want to emulate fighting with swords? Stopping people playing D&D protects kids by stopping the idea that fighting with swords is somehow okay. It's just grim.

wouldn't that same logic demand that the UK criminalize D&D, because why would anyone want to emulate stabbing people with swords, and that stopping people playing it would protect kids by stopping the idea that fights with swords are somehow okay?

i have to wonder what it's like on the bus that leaves Union Station at 2:30 in the morning and gets into Hamilton at 4:10

i lack the energy to see it for myself

They have to learn it from somewhere

Heathcliff and a crowd of cats walk down the streets, all with DUDE-branded accessories. Some cats are wearing DUDE tee shirts, some wear DUDE helmets, and many of them hold DUDE signs and balloons. They're all cheering, excited about being dudes. Two birds watch from a nearby tree, and one says "The bro rally was bigger."
