It's still the 12th in the US where most of you are, so Happy Birthday, Satoshi Kon. You would have been 62.

I hope that, wherever you are, you feel some satisfaction over perfectly predicting the absolutely worst parts of internet culture YEARS in advance in "Perfect Blue."

Miss you. Fuck cancer.

Esoteric linguistic memes will continue until morale improves.

Drawing showing two guys, one happy and smiling, the other concerned-looking. Above them is the word "Kame."

The happy guy is captioned as "Japanese." "Kame" means "turtle" in Japanese.
The concerned guy is captioned as "Kʼicheʼ." "Kame" means "death" in Kʼicheʼ.

I think you're good on psychedelia. If you want to cry to the point of dehydration about the beauty and ugliness of humanity, Tokyo Godfathers should be your next stop.

Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow,
Bright blue his bra is,
and his boobs are massive.
Nobody said this would rhyme.

Just catching up on the latest trends.

With thanks to @faineg.bsky.social for introducing me to Tom "Bazongabil"

Side by side image of Tom Bombadil from The Lord of the Rings, a happy man in a blue robe dancing while carrying a leaf. The left half is labeled "Designed with Gamers In Mind" where Tom is shown to have large breasts in a bra with clevage. On the right is labeled "Designed With Activists In Mind" where he appears normal.

Have you met the hyrax, the animal that *always* looks like it's tired of humanity's shit?

A hyrax. Looks like a big-ass hamster-like thing that's constantly pissed off.

If we're playing that game:

Vance fucked 420 couches since becoming VP. He claims he fucked 0 but that's because he's so overwhelmed with couch fucking, he doesn't have time to keep score.

WELKER: Are you looking at invoking the Insurrection Act?

VANCE: We have to remember we are talking about this bc crime has gotten out of control

W: Crime is down in both Chicago & Portland

V: Crime is down bc they are so overwhelmed at the local level they are not even keeping stats properly

I went into Burger King and said "I'm lovin' it here" and the cashier cast a Level 3 Fireball at me.

I went into a McDonald's and said "I want to have it my way" and they threw Sprite in my face.
