I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Based on screenshot context clues, it was an episode of Mushoku Tensei, tho I couldn't tell you which episode invoked it. Any of them probably :'D

"Based on an ongoing manga that's already up to 27 volumes" is a HARD sell for me, but "supernatural Taisho-era time-travel isekai with a spunky female protag" hits enough of my favorite genre buttons for me to give it a chance.

four birds in a cartoon from Sesame Street, with the caption reading "Oh, shit"
Another Sesame Street cartoon saying "Oh shit"
Screenshot of Big Bird in Hooper’s Store with live human Alan and a flying red bird. The subtitles read: "Time for the birth of terror. Me"
Do not watch Sesame Street on Tubi with the subtitles on 😭. I swear, I didn't edit or add anything. Is it hilarious? Yes, but also, they need to fix this immediately. Absolutely incomprehensible and bad

James is not kidding. Someone on Twitter put together a clip compilation and Kenshiro's actor sounds like someone doing a parody of bad old anime dubs. I am SPEECHLESS. I am DUMBFOUNDED.
He can't even do the fight noises right!
Also no one can pronounce "Hokuto."

Anime image of a pub called The Old Duchess. The pub sign is a glowing orb resembling a pocketwatch, and next to the wooden door is a sign showing the list of UK monarchs since the pub opened.
A real life photo of a pub called Ye Olde Cheshire cheese. It features the same glowing sign, wooden door, and nearly identical sign about the monarchs.
"Hey, I think I recognize this pub in Love Through a Prism!"
Friends, not only did I recognize it, I had taken the exact photo

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so l will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me
hidefdoritos replied:
OP I hope you know that this changed my life and nearly eliminated my guilt over enjoying things.
And I've delighted almost everyone I know with the phrase, leading a few of them to use it back to me.
Anyway just letting you know about this little sparkle of wonder. For morale.
Boost your unit's morale with this easy trick discovered by a Brigadier. Enemy generals hate it!

apparently Wikipedia has more rigorous standards than every university on the planet, university administrators, edtech enthusiasts, (certainly more than) AI bros, several prominent academic journals, and too many professors and teachers

A photo of a bento box with Donald Duck on it. It reads, "Very Funny, Donald Duck, Donald says, 'Aw, phooey!' when things go wrong."
We're trying a new thing in the household by meal prepping a bunch of things on Sunday and then doing bento lunches each day so we can eat healthier. I went to Daiso for some boxes and found this absolute gem.

I'm not a music expert at all, but I mostly liked it. The dance & jazz numbers are a lot of fun. The ballads are meh, esp in act 1, but pick up in act 2 as things collapse 😅 Nothing fully blew me away but I wasn't bored & did put the music on at work the next day. So, uneven but worth your time imo.

I liked it! The music is like 50/50 good bops and so-so ballads, but the costuming is great, and I think it expands the characters in sympathetic ways without completely sanding off their edges or losing sight of the story's broader themes. Uneven, but worth a watch imo.
