just imagining the scene of mixed """"martial artists"""" giving themselves CTEs on the White House lawn while Trump sits on an elevated dais behind them like Demented Racist Pedophile Shao Kahn. happy birthday, America!

this postage stamp auction from HiBid came wrapped in a (fortunately unused) Culver's fry bag. why didn't I think of that? I should do that with Magic cards when there's more than a penny sleeve will hold

Japan's Supreme Court will rule this year for the first time on whether barring same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. Ahead of the verdict, Marriage for All Japan has taken its "Love Wins" campaign nationwide. Here's what they hope to achieve with their 47-prefecture campaign.

this Kikkoman wasabi sauce I got is great. I've been putting it on lunchmeat sandwiches, having it with vegetables, dipping pork loin in it, it's great I also got some wasabi-flavored sesame seed furikake that goes great on rice and veggies

seven year old did the dishes last night by himself, then this morning said I can pay him to do a dish for $.10 or all the dishes for $1 seven years old and already he knows how to implement enshittifying

if you are a parent and your child has a shrill scream, can you teach your child to shut the fuck up in an indoor playground? thanks

When I first got onto the internet in 1999 I joined the El-Hazard eGroup. Such an echo chamber. Everyone was talking about El-Hazard all the time. We didn't even see the value in randos yelling slurs at us. How young and naive we were back then.

yuri was a Pop Culture Jeopardy answer, best believe I got that right

having seen the first one and a half movies, gotta say the Wimpy Kid from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies is a bit of a prick

i often think about this review

“I know Justy.”

Japanese Learning Progress (5/18/26): - past page 70 in Genki, doing really good on the exercises and reviewing with the workbook - can get up to 50 kanji if I really push and at least most of the basic onyomi and kunyomi - at page 40 of Kanji De Manga vol. 1; trying to get a 2 kanji/day thing going

Guy with visible stink lines: the birth rate,

(son is reading a book about Minecraft blocks) son: “this page is about sponges” me: “I bet it’s absorbing, nyum nyum nyum nyum nyum” son: “this page is all about soul lanterns” me: “hopefully you find it illuminating, nyum nyum nyum nyum nyum”

saw MK2, and I want to point out these things about Shao Kahn's rule of Kitana's realm: - had a lush, lit forest within walking distance - buildings and roads were maintained over the years (albeit grimier and darker) - his goons didn't snatch people off the street - turned queen into zombie (bad)

I’m no political genius, but I feel like playing a clip of Trump saying “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation” is a layup served on a silver platter on top of a fish in a barrel but that’s my “do something!!!”-ism taking over

30 minute litter walk near a strip mall near my place. got one bag near to bursting

saw a really cute Jigglypuff today (my fav since the 90s, no joke)

s-CRY-ed is largely forgotten but it ruled RECKLESS FIAHHHHHH! youtu.be/OfWjzxeK43U?...

If you see this you have to post an anime opening from 2000-2005 Move, make way- the truth is comin' through youtu.be/QHmE0C2kZlc

went for a quick 30-minute walk near my neighborhood because someone dumped a bunch of trash on the side of the road cleaned that up and kept going until the bag was stretching. it rained the night before so all the trash was super heavy and soggy but still got the bag pretty full

subscribed to MAD Magazine, and the first issue I got was great: nice mix of new stuff and classic stuff. finally, I can get a magazine where they give “cancelled” celebrities AND Toshiki Kaifu the whatfor

I will never see people like Candace Owens or RFK Jr. or Trump or this Trump spokeperson quoted in this article go to hell, so I only hope one day to see them and their feculence gone forever

"do not hallucinate" seems like the prompt equivalent of saying "you gotta tell me you're a cop"

went down a One Piece wikia rabbit hole, and ended up learning that there was one less Medal of Honor awarded for the Wounded Knee Massacre (19 for 490 combatants) than for all of the Battle of Antietam (20 for 54k). ofc Hegseth gushed that all the WK MoHs were heroes, and wouldn't rescind them

Theros is a hard set to sell cards from because card types that rarely sell are Pegasuses, Minotaurs, Griffins, and Centaurs, so a Greek-themed setting is starting off on the back foot from the get go

(NYT editor voice) why did these people vote for a racist dipshit for President despite his racist dipshit performance the first time? by god, we’ll crack this case yet!!!

you know, this may be controversial but I don’t think this Donald Trump guy’s doing a very good job

filled a 30-gallon bag at a guard rail/quasi-nature trail this morning! Found some styrofoam slabs and bagged them before they could disintegrate

Happy Belated Birthday. I bet you're as good a dad as the best dad in this whole franchise.

okie dokie (I had six entries in these raffles yesterday because of BOGO promos and five won for $100/piece)

these Minecraft “YouTubers” are focused on “water bucket clutching” when they should be worried about clutching something else… their diploma!!!

When you're Hokuto no Kenough.

played it recently, and I think Palutena from Kid Icarus should bring back her 80s Bonnie Tyler perm for a game

turning 41 today and you know what that means... it's the last prime number birthday until I turn 43.

between the MSN article someone linked on a Discord about farmers being nuked by tariffs but supporting Trump anyway, and NYT Cartoon Regretful Trump Voters Explain Why They're Imbeciles Part X+1, I really have had enough of touring the wretched mind-toilets of Trump voters

son liked the Mario Galaxy movie but there was a trailer that irritated me for a movie called the Breadwinner where dumbass dad can’t do the parenting or the housework when the mom has to work lol! speaking as a dad who does the vast majority of both, did this script time travel from 1995

going to see the Super Mario Galaxy movie with my son and his friend, but maybe it should be called the Dr. Mario Movie because Mario has a PRESCRIPTION FOR MOVIE FUN!

they finally got to the big bad villain of One Piece, and wouldn’t you know it but the dang bishies are at it again

got done really fast at the DMV, and I had new big trash bags and my litter tongs in my car, so I just started picking up litter in the dried retention pond. filled a whole 30-gallon bag in about 30 minutes without even trying!

if I had money and didn’t have to work, I’d take college classes during the day, volunteer, sketch, and do stuff like surf, lift weights, or do yoga. I’d take courses in random stuff like marine biology or art or environmental science and see if something really grabbed me. that’d be my dream.

well, yes and no. Democrats basically did whatever Republicans wanted post-9/11 or get shrieked down as terrorists, then the fever broke in the mid-2000s when everyone realized Bush sucked and had a 20% approval rating, then a black guy got elected and the right lost their fucking minds

coworker mentioned running a Shadowrun game, and I already got an idea for a werewolf influencer character: Lycan Sabscryb

if I wanted to ask a Gemini a question and get a wrong answer, I’d just ask my dang mother

The Japanese poster for “Kingpin” (1996)

gerrymandering to dilute the voting power of right-wingers is good because their ideas are poisonous and evil. in this respect it is better than other uses of gerrymandering. thank you for attending my political science course

the results are in… you all are great!

took my son to a playdate at the trampoline park yesterday and in the middle of having a good time playing trampoline dodgeball had the thought "there will be a time he never wants to do this with you again." thank you, brain!
