Neurodivergent Toad /definitely/ confirmed

blacksmith about to start the bronze age:

“The Dark Frog tied one end of the rope to a tree. ‘Turn for me!’ he shouted. I turned the rope for the Dark Frog. He jumped twenty times. ‘I am beginning to get hungry,’ said the Dark Frog.”

Nowhere near the main point here, but ... presumably he had to get "leg extensions" (?!?) etc. precisely because it *isn't* in his DNA to "obtain Gigachad" (?!?!?!?!)

I've waited 3 years to make this post

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results that human element elevates the work

tech workers should unionize and organize is that they have a position of unparalleled leverage in the global economy and they can use that to make the world a better place but they should also do it bc the crashout by CEOs and VCs in response will make for amazing Content

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it

What a quote.

I love how in the 1980s, Larry Hama knew this: Cobra Commander was a used car dealer and Cobra started out as an MLM that sold supplements. I'm not even making this up, it's canon within the first 50 issues of the Marvel comic.

My favorite thing about Frog and Toad is that it is the story of two men deeply and obviously in love with one another, drawn as a tribute to his lifelong partner by a gay man long before their relationship was socially sanctioned.

I keep banging this drum and I WILL keep banging this drum until people listen. "Content" is what advertisers call the stuff that goes in between the ads. "Content" is what dull business people pump out with ChatGPT to just have "stuff" on their website. You make art. You are an entertainer.

shit like this is the core of the damage the social internet has done to us we have replaced actual expertise with "some dude with a podcast who makes you feel like his buddy while he bullshits into a microphone" and now a ton of people think that measles and chicken pox are the same

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

Something that has been bothering me about the discourse around the Epstein Files is how many memes, jokes, and AI edits I've seen. This is unfortunately common with high-profile cases involving abuse, and it only serves to normalize abuse and harm victims further. spitfirenews.com/p/epstein-fi...

My only actual advice about college is to get a minor in communications or another language. /Especially/ if your major is unrelated.

The world is not yet ready for Giggitypuff I saw this in a fever dream and now you have to as well.

"The tentacle is vulnerable"

Blanket censoring the word “gambling” is literally a pro gambling move. Gambling platforms avoid the word for obvious reasons, so YouTube eliminating its use under the pretense of combating gambling is the best fucking cover a gambling platform could ask for. It’s pretty disgusting.

Will brings up she can do this because her campaign "virtually prints money," but her campaign virtually prints money because she does stuff like this. There is an enormous appetite to do good things right now in a system that rewards greed and evil. This very contrast created that money machine.

There's certainly the assumption that science fiction and fantasy films should have fandom activity otherwise they're not significant, which is an argument that doesn't necessarily translate to other film genres. Lots of non-genre films get to be significant without obvious/overt "cultural impact."
