It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Picard ethics tip: The fact that a conflict has many sides does not imply that every side has merit.

“That’s all anybody can do right now. Live. Hold out. Survive. I don’t know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won’t matter if we don’t survive these times.”

― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

nothing online works for shit anymore. everybody who knows how to work computer is unemployed. we are stuck with these losers shooting up peptides while they vibecode their claude dongle

We are told there is no money for healthcare , infrastructure, SNAP etc YET we now pay more for gas, healthcare, housing, food etc. We pay 2 Billion dollars a day for a war we don't understand, while Trump, his family and cronies have made billions. They are stealing from us.

Feminists for ages: we are not just vaginas and baby making parts.

A trans woman enters the room.

Those same feminists: we are only vaginas and baby making parts.

Fucking clowns.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Ultimately Silicon Valley’s fatal flaw is that it has a glut of losers in a loser echo chamber and they have no idea why nobody else thinks their ideas are good and fun

btw started getting tattoos nearly 20 years ago and still don’t feel the dire regret that the boomers smugly assured me i’d feel. they’ve never been wrong about anything before so i’m sure it’ll kick in any day now

In this digital illustration, three baby dragons are sheltered from rain by their gigantic mama dragon. They are on a rooftop in front of a cityscape. The babies gaze up at their mom, smiling.

Sheltering the littlest flames

A little red dragon (Ember, from the book "The Bakery Dragon" by Devin Elle Kurtz) is seen from above in this digital painting. He is sitting on cobblestones, which are wet with puddles after a rainstorm. He gazes up at the much larger dragons in the sky above him. They have dropped some gold coins they carry.

Big Dreams

Hobbies are awesome. I've started screaming at the sun.

"That creepy guy is here again," my boss hissed.

I looked to the pinball machine in corner. A lanky man in overalls and a soft hat was playing.

"You're making a fortune from the old coins he's using. But I'll have a word."

Later, I told my boss the guy worked as a ferryman. Why'd he get so pale?

You: Ready for hot girl summer.

Me: Ready for middle-aged woman with fair skin and cold alcoholic drinks in the shade summer.

May your smoke alarms be always working.
May your dog be always happy.
May your fire extinguisher be always accessible.
May your ladder be always on a firm, flat surface.
May your cat be around.

Hadn’t been clothes shopping for a dog’s age, so bit the bullet.

ME: This is kinda cute…
CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Hand wash, lay flat to dry in shade, do not leave in direct sunlight, do not dry clean.
ME: This is not a shirt, it’s a mogwai.

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

I think a lot of our problems would be solved if we just fed certain people to sharks.

This is a valid point: whenever you see this sort of high-pressure sales tactic turned on a technology, you can be CERTAIN that it's a fake—actually useful new tech sells itself!

And don't underestimate the effectiveness of FOMO as a tool in the hands of a con artist.

Self-fulfilling prophecy

The ship groaned and gasped.

reading fanfiction so beautiful that it brings you to tears is an emotional experience that cannot be replicated elsewhere

"Don't ship unless it's canon" you are truly are the weakest link. Back in my day we shipped characters that never laid eyes on each other. We shipped characters that didn't even belong in the same universe or franchise. Canon is a chain we threw off long ago

Flour comes from a plant, sugar comes from a plant, and chocolate comes from a plant.

So, basically a chocolate chip cookie is a salad.

Thank you for coming to my
Ted talk

The problem nowadays is that CEOs don't want to work. They just want money for laying people off and blathering about AI, not for producing any positive or concrete improvement to the business. They expect hundreds of millions for thousands of job loses and it's weak sauce, snowflake behaviour.

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.

Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.

This is what corporate greed looks like.
