social compact suggestion: anytime anyone is laying out this kind of engagement bait in 2026, blocked. this is either engagement bait or someone whose kid stopped calling them anymore because they can't stop saying "bernie bro" at thanksgiving dinner. rehashing the past does not matter, it never did

Denmark has a king still because a while ago the king of Denmark heard about democracy, thought it sounded better, and used his power to establish one before stepping down voluntarily
If Danes had had to make the king step down, they wouldn’t have one anymore

The thing about homestarrunner.com is how good it is
It hits a little less potently as an adult, but it’s no less impressive of a project

Devastated. Outside of consistently hearing him be very pro-player and anti-shitty corporate practices I can’t speak to Vince professionally, but personally he was such a down to earth, funny, warm person. The industry already feels far less bright without him.
