Finished that tribute to/fanfic of Worlds of Power/Pac-Man ( archive.org/details/retr...). Made a thing of Pac-Man doing what he loves: bad standup comedy.

Somehow I did it and made a The Day the Clown Cried addition to my Minecraft map.

Still have to figure out how I'm going to do a Minecraft thing for The Day the Clown Cried, but for now, here's Macbat from Macbat 64 (siactro.itch.io/macbat64).

i'm going to be very real: how are you supposed to try to be normal right now. we have fascists trying to Become Columbine every week, ICE is just straight up the gestapo now, the economy is crashing and the only thing keeping it afloat is AI. i am so tired. i am so fucking tired.

While on the topic of The Stan Winston School, this is probably my favorite thing they've uploaded: behind-the-scenes test shots for the live-action "Inspector Gadget." So many silicone Matthew Broderick heads. youtube.com/shorts/f1isU...

we must abolish ICE

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

this is christian nationalism on full display. this is the most consequential moment in our countries history. this cannot stand, if it does america is finished

Dave Dorman, 1993

🎵we're gremlins from the Kremlin🎵 youtu.be/beVgHSO4Ewg?...

so both of us here really like cartoons and we heard this and we instantly knew what the fuck it was, so I'm going to give you the actual real version of it that's not at a very slow pace

It's a orchestral version of Song of the Volga Boatmen. That part of the song is usually done with the voice, not an instrument. youtu.be/0tw3g88JtWA?...

This is annoying the hell out of me, and it shouldn't be as hard to find the name of as it is. old.reddit.com/r/NameThatSo...

Yeah...

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I said I wasn't going to bother with infrastructure for the memory map, but I still spent hours creating a covered and lighted path...

The "30th Anniversary" should have been the big hint this wasn't a vintage book, but the SpongeBob meme was the real tip off. But I'm committed now, so I might as well read about Pac-Man being a crappy standup comic who accidentally summons the undead while trying to read a self-help book.

Read through the first couple of chapters of Splinter of the Mind's Eye, the first Star Wars expanded universe book from 1978, and Luke really needs to get those impure thoughts out of his head about Leia.

Monitor Lizard

Finished reading the script to "The Day the Clown Cried". There is potential and heart in it, but it's dragged down by a rather slow and boring beginning and the famously depressing ending.

Added this sprite to the map for Toree 3D (siactro.itch.io/toree3d) and Toree 2 (siactro.itch.io/toree-2).

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE

When you buy plants that are pet safe, but not, like, *pet safe*

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

The next book in that slot is the fourth Slayers light novel. I would have been much farther along if I didn't take that months long hiatus from reading.

Was able to sit outside and read another book! This time it was the banned graphic novel Hey, Kiddo by Jarrett J. Krosoczka.

apple boops ❤️💛

Reading the final draft script of The Day the Clown Cried, and naming the the main character Dork (Doork) seems like a bad start.

Just got my flu and covid shots.

This is what fascist scholars mean when they say "don't give them an inch."

The next banned book I'll go through is The 1619 Project.

Awning is installed, so I can go out in the middle of the day to read. Finished the banned book Sold by Patricia McCormick while I was out there.

The federal government is dictating what speech is permitted. *DISNEY SAYS 'JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE' TO BE PREEMPTED INDEFINITELY

ah, well

Apparently right before going to sleep is a bad time to take a gamble on a YouTube video's warning about disturbing content. Really didn't need to see syphilis face rot.

Saw this and immediately bought a pride flag.

It feels so fucking insane to be scolded about how leftists need to tone down our rhetoric while the world's richest man endorses this shit

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

Not the most elaborate additions to the map, but here's the key and apocalypse hieroglyph from Craig Titley's 1996 Scooby Doo movie script and a Banandium Gem from Donkey Kong Bananza.

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

“This means war” to “who led this sweet boy astray” in less than 48 hours

Truly bizarre to see people attacked, shamed, and disciplined for saying things about Charlie Kirk that are 1000x less offensive than what Charlie Kirk said about people

Turning Point USA made a literal watch list of professors, primarily women, queer folks and people of color, and made us targets of political violence. I’ve received hate mail and harassment and death threats off and on for nearly a decade in part due to that man’s organization so 🤷🏽‍♀️
