I used to get mad when people misused "decimated" to refer to things that weren't 1/10th destroyed, but I've given it some thought and now I've done a complete 360 on it

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

Every comic cover since has been trying and failing to reach the heights glimpsed by this Carmine Infantino cover for Flash #133 in 1962. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

Flash being turned into a puppet while thinking "I've got the strangest feeling I'm being turned into a PUPPET!". FUN FACT: it is impossible to see this cover and not want to see more

*scarf* it's for science, so i can *om nom nom* like them a NORMAL AMOUNT

T-Rex: I just had a butter tart...

T-Rex: ...and it was REALLY good!

Dromiceiomimus: Hell yeah! That's the nature of butter tarts, T-Rex!
T-Rex: No, no, you don't understand - it was EASILY 75% better than any other butter tart I'd ever had! It had raspberries and coconut in it, and somehow - SOMEHOW - this elevated the whole deal to an entirely new level of BLISS.

Utahraptor: You sound like you're angry about it.
T-Rex: I am angry about it!!

T-Rex: Utahraptor, every NORMAL butter tart I have from now on will NEVER BE AS GOOD. This one Fancy Tart ruined me for all others, giving one moment of sublime bliss in exchange for a lifetime of small disappointments to come. NOBODY HAS WON HERE - least of all me!

Off panel: Solution is obvious: gorge yourself on Fancy Tarts until you can't stand them anymore.
T-Rex: Of course! Once again, science says I must eat butter tarts till I puke!
T-Rex: *sigh*
T-Rex: AND ONCE AGAIN I SHALL

I spoke to the legendary @tricialockwood.bsky.social about a potential ghost, her new book, Pamela Anderson and meeting once in the cattle pen in a Trump rally.

Richard Warnica: I spoke with the only writer alive who actually makes sense anymore

Lockwood is the only writer who managed to accurately capture the absurdity of a Trump rally. She is out with a new book “Will There Ever Be Another You”

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The Verge @theverge.com · May 26

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

working on a project in which I'm seriously tempted to take these "rad in the 80s but never quite since" shades and give them to a character who's never worn them before. and looking them up, the website lets you add them to your face.

you may not like it but this is what writing looks like

the side of the bus for NIAGARA FUN TOURS LTD where, above their name they've abbreviated it to NFT with some very 90s-style letter treatment
