One of the stupidest things the internet did was convince people that "taking cute/happy thing and making it edgy horror" makes something "mature/adult"

The last time this many labor unions in NYS publicly backed taxing the rich to a significant degree—and thereby knowingly courted the ire of the governor—was 2009, when NY WFP first passed the "millionaire's tax" (still in effect today). Now, NYC-DSA + Zohran are also helping pull labor to the left.
Of course, now it would be super cool if you parlayed that into something with @aewontv.bsky.social
Phoeo of a cute cat behind a super market toy set looking at the camera, with the silly caption of "Khajiit has wares if you have coin" which is a known The Elder Scrolls line.

Honestly in the context of most online pro wrestling fans, it is a complimment.

As far as YouTubers go Hank Green had one of the worst falloffs in history. He’s fully in for AI in ways that don’t even make sense.

The next time someone says gender care doesn't have enough science behind it, remind them it's older than antibiotics and ask if they plan on never taking those or using antibacterial soap again.
Soup without a texture
Damn soup has no texture
I spent years of my life thinking cayenne was really hot because it was described to me in childhood by someone as akin to fire and it did not occur to me that maybe a midwesterner was not a good source on what is mad spicy
When we were first putting together this level, a bug caused one of the mushroom NPCs to massively size up and it was hilarious.

Happy game dev accidents.

Re-enchant your life by making the mundane exciting. You're not going to CVS, you are visiting the apothecary to buy potions. You are not running an errand, you are doing a side quest. You are not feeding the birds, you are making an alliance with the crow queen.
Good morning
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
There are some important things to remember in terms of Awards-shortlist day etiquette. A short thread.
Even folks I really like and respect make some blunders on this stuff.
