Do I contradict myself? Well then, a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time.

They're from this book about 100 ways to enjoy Mario Paint. It's a really interesting guide compared to the official US one. Whereas that guide is way more beginner friendly this one goes extremely deep with unique ways to get the most out of Mario Paint.

@johniadarola.bsky.social True, Mickey Mouse is an everyman character with a much more interesting supporting cast--that's always a problem with reader-surrogate characters. That said, much like Scrooge and Donald, Mickey's personality really flourishes in comics.

I have to give it to Jimmy. Colbert came in with a mostly-liberal Colbert Report fanbase. Kimmel came in with a mostly-conservative Man Show fanbase. We saw him grow a lot as a person live on TV and it took bravery to say things his audience didn't want to hear.

Charlie Kirk was right about almost nothing, but he was correct that America is abandoning our belief in free speech--as evidenced Charlie Kirk being murdered for his speech.

This is where "it's okay to punch a Nazi" rhetoric got us, and now we are all unsafe.

I remember someone saying that's how you know AI can never truly be a writer. If you tell AI to stop using em dashes, it'll stop. If you tell a writer to stop using em dashes they'll tell you to fuck yourself and that you can pry them from their cold, dead fingers.
