Make a raccoon parody of Car Seat Headrest's album Twin Fantasy (Mirror to Mirror) and call it "Bin Fantasy (Trashcan to Trashcan)" with the re-recording called "Bin Fantasy (Bin to Bin)"

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

I've been walking in Minecraft to the edge of the world, the Far Lands, for over 14 years. I've brought the most awesome friends and community with me the entire way, we've raised over $500k for charity, and today we're finally going to get there, live on my twitch channel! twitch.tv/kurtjmac

I can't believe I managed to witness kurtjmac finally make it to the Far Lands after almost 15 years

I never followed the journey closely but I always checked in with his progress every now and then, SURREAL that he made it!

oh wow, that was fast!

Walking to the Far Lands is the time-consuming challenge involving a terrestrial journey 12.5M blocks out of spawn. The most common version used is b1.7.3 as this is the last version to contain the Far Lands and has the conveniences such as beds that some previous versions don't have.

Over 30 players have attempted the feat legitimately, with about 1/3 completing the journey, 1/3 currently walking (as of October 2023) and 1/3 having gone inactive (including one death, TinfoilChef). The first player to complete the journey (without using the Nether as a means of shortcut) was KilloCrazyMan between 2019-20. Notch awarded him $6,000 through two separate donations. The most famous is Far Lands or Bust with KurtJMac, through which he donated over $500,000 to charity over the course of 14 years.[3] KurtJMac completed his journey to the Far Lands on October 4th, 2025.

14 years after leaving spawn KurtJMac made it to the far lands. I was in my mid 20s when he left. Many musings and chats on space travel since and he's finally there.

You and your mod team these last couple of weeks have embarrassed yourselves more than Xbox has these last few days.

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

I find it extremely ironic how Bungie basically killed off their fanbase right as Borderlands 4 released. So now every Destiny content creator has flocked to that
