Man hands on misery to man,
With interest like ill-gotten pelf.
Vote out the bastards while you can,
And don’t build any nukes yourself.

But we’ll get blown up in our time
By fools who ought to be impeached,
Who think that they are Oppenheim’
Or Winston Churchill on the beach.

It blows you up, U 2-3-5.
It may not be a wise decision.
Neutrons pushed to overdrive,
And then some extra, just for fission.
this is quite the detail

Not only is Super Mario Bros. 2 a "real" Mario game, but also there's some credible evidence that Doki Doki Panic began as a potential sequel to Super Mario Bros. 1.
There’s Super Mario DNA in Doki Doki Panic — Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games
And becoming Super Mario Bros. 2 was just a return to its roots.

Sometimes you enjoy someone's posts that are reposted into your feed, and you think "I should follow them", and you do, and it turns out that that is a Different Experience.

No hard feelings! You're just kind of a curmudgeon half the time!

Hi, it's me, the guy deeply distrustful of anything properly called "upscaling", AI or not.

(And no, going back and scanning the original source with a higher resolution is remastering, not upscaling. Hmph.)

It's such a funny detail that

A) male Starfleet officers all had the same pointy sideburns in Star Trek TOS as a little futuristic touch, and

B) they kept doing it for any male (and the occasional female) Starfleet officer with human-ish hair for the next 40 years.

Lottery tickets = gambling

Lottery tickets with pictures of anime characters on them = NOT gambling

(Sorry, I just encountered this take yet again and there's a chance they're doing a bit so I'm releasing my response into the wild instead.)

It's weird to follow someone on here who posts and engages here regularly and then discover that A) they still also post on Twitter and moreso B) they post stuff over there they don't post over here.

(This is about one person in particular, but who they are doesn't matter.)

Is that New Yorker article about the coercive pervert comedian in the print edition?

Trying to imagine paying real money for a copy and opening it to see that. Like finding someone took a literal shit in it.

You know, even in my most optimistic moments, I don't expect a majority of these people and institutions to face consequences.

I'd just like to hope that we could at least remember. That we could remember "oh yeah, they worked with Trump" 20, 40 years from now.

And one more other thing I’m seeing now, that Northwestern unsurprisingly didn’t mention in its statement, effectively banning gender affirming care at NU school of medicine

This post brought to you (today) by the cowardly shitheads at Northwestern University.
Children are humans. Children's rights are human rights.

Children don't become a gender when they turn 18. To restrict gender affirmation to adults is to say that children don't deserve health care, don't feel pain, don't have a self. It is barbaric and inhuman.

The trick is that I don't want to read quotes of Trump's social media posts or whatever, but it is sometimes helpful to know, for instance, "he said a slur again" because it provides context for other news.

I followed a labeler that shows when accounts post a lot, or without many breaks, and it has shown me ... that there are many valid reasons for accounts to do that.

Like "they were watching a parade" or "they are a newspaper".

I'm getting close to the finish line, but also only have a few days left.

Please help out if you're able. Even just a few bucks can make a big difference. And it all means a whole lot to me, particularly right now.

Thank you. <3
Starting to put out requests for rent help.

This month is almost certainly gonna be a REALLY bad one, I’m a bit terrified, and any early help would mean the absolute world to me, seriously.

Thank you, and lots of love and gratitude.
I make very little dollary doos and live in a very expensive city. If I’ve ever made you laugh or think and you can spare a few dollars, please consider tipping!
