The graphic shows Goro Akechi and Joker still working late into the night at the booth with loose pages, books and Joker's glasses scattered on the table. Sojiro is beside the booth with a red coffee mug in hand and looking at them with fatherly disappointment at their state. Goro's hair is held back by a headband revealing his deep eye bags and exhausted expression directed toward Sojiro, and he is holding his coffee own mug decorated in pawprints. Joker has taken his glasses off and is covering his yawn with his hand as Morgana sleeps nestled in his other arm. The text behind his head says: YAAWN. Art by: ghostsjogging. The graphic's text reads:

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

I like Powecom because of the colors, but they are just the usual type of n95 so they might have the same problems for you! I've seen people like duck bill style masks, and I think you can get a little plastic thing that loops around the back of your head--the mask hooks that instead of your ears.

a fascinating writeup on the making of a set of widely distributed IDF propaganda videos, specifically identifying assets they used. there's something incredibly unsettling about the creative ethos here. stolen assets. no actual intelligence information at all. just hubris and pure fabrication.

Jack Sapoch @jacksapoch.bsky.social · 2d

Others assets came from scans made by the Scottish Maritime Museum of their boat-building workshop which was downloaded (via @sketchfab.bsky.social) and reimagined by the IDF adornments for underground missile factories.

Get vaccinated and masked up! Some states require a prescription now (🙄🙄🙄) but you can call a doctor's office for help! It's worth it!

“A study, published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that last season’s 2024–2025 mRNA COVID vaccines reduced people’s risk of emergency department visits by 29%, their risk of hospitalizations by 39% & their risk of death by 64%”

Benefits were seen even if 0 risk factors

Annual COVID Vaccines Protect People against Severe Disease, Even with Prior Immunity

"The new research also “calls into question the idea that younger individuals and those without risk factors don’t need the vaccine,” Viswanathan says."

Annual COVID Vaccines Save Lives, New Study Shows

A new study shows that receiving an updated COVID vaccine reduced people’s risk of severe disease and death in all age groups, regardless of immunity from prior infection or vaccination

Read Herakles, the first Euripides play in Grief Lessons. Tragedies were apparently performed starting at dawn and that one'll wake you up.

Hades 2 gave Hercules a line that was like, "You're from the underworld? I got back from there not too long ago." and it's like oh...........

Morgana is sitting between Joker and Goro in the booth, and he's looking at the drawing.
