Rain, Portland Street crossing Oxford Road, Manchester, painting by Rob Pointon.

Virginia Woolf, more than a hundred years ago:

A drawing of a sort of lumpy stick figure. Text reads: "I'm a beautiful and unique woman".

:)

I saw a disclaimer in an ebook the other day that said, 'This book is 100% human generated. I'd rather write a story that might have lumpy bits than generate a soulless, passionless, piece of crap." I'm thinking of adding something like that to my next book if I ever get around to writing it.

Digital Circus is for frickin girls sorry. If you buy a ticket to that shit and you're a guy... Like sorry bro but people are gonna think you're gay. You should be watching Gaslight District bro, you're just begging to be pegged bro.

unironically a beautiful and effective way to keep grifters out. if you get filtered by an anime catgirl popping up for 2 seconds because it's too cringe and gay for you was your heart really in the systems programming?

'Psyop' is short for 'psychological operation.'

We promise this isn't one.

theres a certain kind of influencer who exists because they get paid by other people to essentially harm themselves for entertainment and I think their subscribers should be arrested

Personally don't recommend these. As the article notes, these properties are typically achieved through PFAS, which can shed carcinogens in your home (which you then inhale) or come out in the wash (polluting waterways for decades). Will try to do a thread on how to treat stains in the wash.

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

Just a gentle reminder: you don’t have to read fast, finish the longest book or have the prettiest shelf, if reading bring you peace, you’re doing it right.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

A drawing of a realistic dog wearing a tie saying; "I need to lock in and prove that I am capable. I need to be taken seriously." While a drawing of a cartoon dog says; "I need to stay silly and whimsical lest I lose the very essence of myself." Perpetrating an endless cycle

Endless cycle

Preliminal design for a 1993 Sega ad, recovered from the archives of the Brio toy company, which handled Sega's marketing in Sweden [a picture of Sonic asking "WHO THE F*CK IS MARIO?"] Final design of the ad, which replaced the attack on Mario with the slogan "Happiness can be bought for money" [a picture of Sonic saying "LYCKA KAN KÖPAS FÖR PENGAR"] Source: Martin Lindell, martinlindell.com/2019/11/24/sonic-springer-snabbt-in-i-sverige, via @FeoUltima, x.com/feoultima/status/1964670301712908579

In the spirit of April Fools' Day but without sacrificing the Supper Mario Broth veracity policy, here is a fact that seems so outlandish as to be a joke, but is actually true: in 1993, a Sega ad campaign briefly planned to use profanity to slander Mario.

Discord messages where Sable's friend sent a screenshot from X of a post where the OP asks "which game is this?", with a small sphere labeled "plays the game" and a large sphere labeled "goons to the characters". A reply says "Rocket League". Same responded with "it wouldn't surprise you to know that at one point I had a running sex roleplay with someone where they were free use for their Rocket League team after every match they lost"

knowing me is a special kind of adventure
