Sometimes I hear "1999" by Prince on the radio and I wonder how many younger folks even know what the phrase "party like it's 1999" meant back then

I didn't even know there *was* a 6 7 meme

I'm starting my own drawing challenge this month. It's called #October, and every day I'm gonna try to draw an octopus. It'll be a fun way to draw something that isn't human-shaped, or even a vertebrate. You're welcome to join me if you'd like. Here's Day 1:

An octopus sitting between some rocks and kelp.

Lesbian graffiti, North Point State Park.

A graffiti covered wall. The words "I LOVE LESBIANS" are painted in yellow with black borders.

Ok look, I know you have concerns about how Discord makes discussions hard to follow but we should really take this convo to # No Access

I was young when Carter happened, but after watching the Ryan Howard groundout-Achilles-tear in 2011, I just kind of expect an epically ridiculous collapse every decade or so.

Huh?

Oh, sorry, thought I heard my dad yelling something about "NINETEEN SIXTY FOUR" from beyond the grave.

Yeah, GDQueer. According to their email, "The event was wildly competitive, with a total of 446 categories submitted (20 days, 14 hours, 55 minutes, 9 seconds!!) of submissions, we had a 7% acceptance rate." The event is only three days and they got enough submissions to fill three weeks

Alys Rujasu @rujasu.net · 3d

That 93% decline rate is brutal.

Also the one time I got into Fatales was with what I thought was my weakest run, so I guess we should try not to overthink it too much. Sometimes the shot goes in and sometimes it doesn't.

GOOD BOY IS SO GOOD holy shit I’m glad we saw it in the theater because

1) we support an awesome indie film
2) there’s an adorable behind the scenes in the theatrical release and
3) it would drive MY Indy bonkers with his name constantly being said, I don’t even know if we can watch it at home

Rebecca Watson @skepchick.org · 5d

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: the new horror film “Good Boy,” starring a rescue dog named Indy but not MY rescue dog named Indy, is currently in theaters. We are going Wednesday but I’m endorsing it now, unseen. Indy tax included

Indy the dog lays on the ground with a happy face and an autumnal scarf. he is chill but ready for adventure and fun.

Newsom is likely going to let the other bills go into effect quietly, and the education bill is only a couple lines of text where gender is not mentioned.

I'm going to be watching much more closely on what he does with the bills that are explicitly about LGBTQ+ topics.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Re: Bari Weiss

About a decade ago, I was managing editor for a group of news publications. Our parent company acquired another publication that had no journalistic ethics, and the owner of that group was installed as my new boss

He was just full of terrible ideas, just a fountain of idiocy

"I shouldn't be alive" is pretty much how I felt for every second of round 17, yeah

So, I sat down to do a derust of Pac Land PRO and I lowered my PB by over three minutes. I also pushed the early game farther than I thought I ever could. I'm not sure yet if this is just a once-in-a-lifetime sort of run, or if it's a sign of things to come.

If Caitlin was playing, the postgame coverage would be an hour and a half long and entirely about her.
