Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on!
I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT
A safety message for streetcar operators with a picture showing a car pulling in front of a streetcar to get around a stopped truck. That Fool Driver Here's a stunt a motorman meets up with every day of his life. It is the most exasperating and causes a fellow to cuss and put flat spots on his wheels. It results in more vehicle collisions than any other one situation. There is no question that the driver of this touring car is very negligent. There is no excuse for his turning abruptly in front of the trolley car. However, this is a frequent practice and brings home to us the fact that, to prevent accidents, we must look out for the other fellow. A motorman's safest course is to take it for grated that AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS ARE ESCAPED LUNATICS BENT ON SUICIDE!

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people.
The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work.

Non-agricultural people are being ignorant about the difference and uses of hay and straw in my mentions as a result of this discussion so let's break it all down in broad strokes but finer than these to explain why no one is using hay for a mattress in a medieval setting.

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.
I can't believe I actually have to say this, but apparently I do: someone who is buying compromised Bluesky accounts from an account reseller marketplace is directly funding identity theft, fraud, and international crime. #BadActorBingo resurrection for an explainer of why:

I think so
I've only really seen whatever was in PS2 and PS3! Those are the games I played when I was little. Though I doubt I saw all the routes through PS3.
Maybe I should play through all of them. I tried PS4 some years ago but got to some dungeon that seemed to require grinding levels and wandered off.
Nei is good, bit of an anxiety-provoking night though! Hoping we aren’t about to witness the most evil act in human history!!
When I was little I used to imagine wolves coming to kill me all the time. Eventually I started to imagine a force field around me that they would just bounce off harmlessly and after enough of that I stopped worrying about the imaginary wolves.
Do Med-Drones need a buff?
Panel 1: Shen is sitting on a bench in a gym locker room, wearing a sweaty yellow tank-top (and sweating, himself), holding a water bottle, and talking to a guy with a towel slung over his shoulder. He has a disgruntled expression. He says "Bro I never should've hired the dark wizard as my fitness coach." Panel 2: A dark wizard is spotting Shen on the bench press. Shen is huffing lifting the weight. The dark wizard, who wears a red hood with grey horns and a purple cloak, and has a long pointy nose and fingers, small severe eyes, and a big dark brown beard and eyebrows, is saying "The path to TRUE power is not these plebeian exercises, but to know the 7 ARCANE UTTERANCES." Panel 3: Top-down view of Shen, sweating, frustrated, on the bench. "THEN JUST TELL ME THE UTTERANCES!!" he says. Panel 4: View from Shen's perspective of the wizard's long nose and face looking down at him sternly. "EARN THEM!!!!" he yells.
Good news, folks. Everyone blaming GenAI are the best type of correct, technically correct.

Bless you for this. It is now locked safely in my faves folder.
And somehow if you didn’t manage to see this one before, or just for further fun, here’s this guy

Was feeling melancholy, but then I dug up Theoden with an undercut from my vault of memes

I thought this was clear about the dangers while also being sympathetic / honest about the attractions.

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …
The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.
It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
So Erin Reed blocked me over this one but I’m going to take a few minutes to point out why this “reporting” is so bad and repost a few times to hopefully spread the word. TL;DR Erin either doesn’t understand anything about NYC law or politics or is outright lying about what’s happening here.
I don’t know. I think there are degrees of public and I don’t think something technically being public means carte blanche to do anything with it.
But also it’s so gross how some people are acting like being trans means they can be infinitely abusive and it’s fine because they’re marginalised. 🤷
