relatedly it's funny how "nimrod" became a word for idiot in English because Bugs Bunny once made a sarcastic Biblical reference that went over the audience's heads

something cathartic even now about the idea that the way to get rid of them is to spread their wealth around

normally you'd expect that stealing treasure from a lich's hoard would be a good way to get mega-cursed but no, scatter their ill-gotten gains to the four winds and the bastards dissipate

was earlier observing a funny thing where he gave us "Wight" as a term for undead by accident with his "Barrow-Wights," zombies of rich old assholes who did in fact try to take it with them

the name really just means "tomb-men" more or less

CNN gas tracker: $3.41

vibe check: CNN now has a gas tracker on their front page

they could have had their account hacked

if that! if even that!

to a terrifying extent, society is built so that the rich, powerful, and influential will never know any kind of consequence whatsoever

they embark on insane boondoggle after insane boondoggle because there is literally no compelling reason for them not to

A lot of the ills of the world can be attributed to the fact that the Finding Out phase of FAFO disproportionately affects the lower classes more than it does the upper classes.

Actually unhinged to suggest that "Cellar Door" is the most beautiful phrase in the English language when "Magical Sound Shower" is right there.

Americans, contact your representatives (without yelling or threatening them) about this please. This affects basically everyone who uses the internet as much as it affects you, because most sites we use on a daily basis are hosted in the US.
So much will be lost if this goes through.

We reallt gotta lock in on preventing these internet mass surveillance bills from going through! We've got this! Be annoying! Call all day! Call everyday! We have to stop KOSA and its related bills!

If the things you require me to sacrifice "for the greater good" are my healthcare, my safety, my bodily autonomy and my right to exist as an equal human being in your society, then it's not the good at all.

I forgot to post these. Some doodles I made for the adopter of that cat a couple weeks back.

(well. a barrow is actually the heap of earth placed over a tomb, but you get the picture

the perils of being an author flexing your knowledge at an audience that's unlikely to get it, amirite?

Bugs Bunny once made a Biblical reference and everyone took it to be a brand new word for "idiot")

a funny thing is, as i understand it, "wight" coming to connote "undead monster" is another case of "nimrod"

Tolkien coined it by accident when he called the malevolent zombies of rich old assholes which Frodo and company encounter "barrow-wights," which in less archaic language is just "tomb-men"

look no shade towards "Skull Servant" (especially when the target audience at the time was unlikely to know what a Wight is) but it is extremely funny that he got an entire extended family and apart from "King of the Skull Servants" all of them stuck with the "Wight" nomenclature in the West

"do you know why every day of your life doesn't feel like that one photograph of a kid unwrapping a Nintendo 64 for Christmas? it's because the browns and the pronouns are UPPITY; vote for us and we'll put them in their place" - MAGA

the whole premise of MAGA is The Browns And The Pronouns Are Coming For Your Bag

it's Your Bag Would Be Bigger If Not For The Browns And The Pronouns

the sales pitch is, as noted, aimed at people who do in fact think they have something to lose by things getting better for people who aren't them

first you draw a circle

then you dot the eyes

add a bunch of leaves

and presto! it's Oddish

Two ferrets cuddling together in a blanket. Both looking at the camera with mouth agape.

They are such fascinating creatures.

Everyday I ask, why are you silly? Why are you so long?

They respond, “we evolved for the tunnels”

I reply, “Thank you for being in my life.”

like what, do they need Vince Gilligan to poke his head in when Walt lets Jesse's gf choke to death on her own vomit and say "this is a shithead thing to do, Walt is a shithead for doing it, DON'T DO IT"

like Jesse's gf is no saint but WHY WOULD YOUR SYMPATHIES STILL BE WITH WALTER WHITE AFTER THAT

there's no end of works of fiction with clear morals which are nonetheless completely and willfully misinterpreted by shitheads

like seriously if someone can watch Breaking Bad and still think of Walter White as a goddamn hero and role model after all the shit he pulls, that is a "them" problem

Shoutout to all the furries and VN fans out there. The Hayseed Knight is one of the most impressively produced games in the field I've ever seen. Fully voiced, gorgeous art, unusual story and setting and unconventional romance.

It always shocks me to see it undersold.

Sale ends soon.

Galaxy Quest is so damn good

Some expressions 🐐

Buzzfeed was trying to force Kyra and her team to use AI for a Chikn Nuggit project. She left in protest because she's an actual hero. The fallout for Buzzfeed has been...real bad, so naturally, they're suddenly open to discussion. Keep being loud about how Ai is NOT acceptable.

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

2026 will make u wish for Big Boat Stuck

a valid point! the characteristics that made Walt into Heisenberg could've catalyzed his descent into villainy in a completely different context as well
