I will take this dumb take as a flimsy springboard to show the absolutely exquisite apple pie that my friend made of me and my husband for our wedding

When I was in high school we were discussing how much better 2% choco milk is compared to 1%, and my friend said that if I ever tried 4%, it'd change my life. Well, now I'm in my 40s and I finally saw 3.8% chocolate milk for sale at a local country market and I gotta say... she was RIGHT. It's good

i've heard of a "critical failure", but this is ridiculous

qwantz.com/index.php?co...
T-Rex: Our lives are finite, and one day they will end - possibly suddenly AND by surprise! T-Rex: Whoops! T-Rex: Really sorry if you're just hearing this now for the first time!! T-Rex: Anyway, that's Fact One. Fact Two is that there are more movies than we can watch in a lifetime, more games than we can ever play in a lifetime, more books than we can read in a DOZEN lifetimes. EVERY SINGLE TIME we choose to enjoy one instance of art, we're shutting out dozens, hundreds more - media that we will NEVER ENJOY! T-Rex: The clock's ticking, babies! Hope you choose well, because there's no second chances! Utahraptor: Sure, T-Rex! Utahraptor: But that's what CRITICS are for: they spend THEIR finite lives reviewing TONS and TONS of material, so that WE can spend more of OUR finite lives on the good stuff! The word "hero" gets thrown around a lot these days, but in this case, it DEFINITELY applies to critics. T-Rex: Damn. So true! Narrator: PS: DON'T FORGET TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT DINOSAUR COMICS AND HOW YOU THINK IT'S SUPER COOL AND GREAT! BUT IF YOU THINK IT'S BAD, THEN UH, I GUESS IGNORE THIS PRO-CRITICS COMIC AND JUST DON'T TELL ANYONE YOUR OPINIONS EVER AGAIN Narrator: IT'LL BE FINE, I PROMISE

This is my fault! I trusted the Malwarebytes article and saw how it broke my own email. I've deleted my original post so it can't spread anymore and posted this correction. I regret the error!
sifu.tweety.fish tweety fish @sifu.tweety.fish · 3d
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
awest.uk Andrew West @awest.uk · 3d
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

Popversation is an interview w/ @ashleyvrobinson.bsky.social If there’s 1 thing fans agree on Star Trek Lower Decks is one of the finest shows. The animated comedy stars the crew of the USS Cerritos & completed a five-season run. Show creator @mikemcmahan.bsky.social remembers.

Hello, yes, I am here to confirm that "Bewitching Eyes" from Hades II (the second song that Scylla and the Syrens sing, after you've beaten them a few times) is, indeed, a banger

I can't say I expect to sell many tickets on my tiny Bluesky, but I'll dream anyway. I really want this to work and I truly think anyone who attended would have an amazing time.

It's called Generator. Coming to Massey Hall on the 27th.

Please tell your people.

man i HATE it when i respawn as a baby in the hospital at the very start of my life, and then some jabroni makes me die on the very first goomba

Devil: MMM GREETINGS T-REX T-Rex: The Devil! Devil: INDEED Devil: AND I COME TO YOU WITH A PROPOSAL Devil: I BELIEVE WE SHOULD MAKE REAL LIFE MORE LIKE VIDEO GAMES T-Rex: Love it! I can't wait to eat a whole roast chicken that I find just sitting inside a wall, or in a trash can, and it restores my health. I say this with absolute sincerity: I truly look forward to all my health care needs being met by eating big ol' chickens. Utahraptor: Life's gonna be more like video games from now on? T-Rex: It sure will!! Utahraptor: Oh thank goodness. Thank goodness. I, in contrast, truly look forward to leaving my house on day and the sun coming alive and swooping down and trying to kill me. It was a perfect plot twist in Mario 3, and it will be a perfect plot twist in real life too. Utahraptor: Can't wait. Off panel: Plus, when we die, we'll get to play our whole lives over again! Only our younger siblings might be playing as us, because Mom says its their turn now. T-Rex: EUGH T-Rex: They're gonna screw EVERYTHING UP

idea for people who celebrate christmas:

1. use tinsel to divide your tree into differently shaped sections with roughly similar numbers of ornaments

2. say it's "treedistricting"

ICYMI, check out @ffwrobby.bsky.social's interview with @ryannorth.ca! Ryan was incredibly gracious with his time, and offered some great insights into the world of writing comics (and much, much more).

out today!!

The big finale of ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM comes out tomorrow, Wednesday November 18th! It has action, and twists, and an ending you will not see coming AND I don't want to spoil it at all so here's just a single page of preview!! Be sure to pick it up at your local comic shoppe tomorrow! TOMORROW
A tour of Doom's past interactions with his niece Valeria, done as Doom narrates them. He tells us this is a love story, and that across the entire cosmos, she was the only one who was, to him, special... and across the entire cosmos, he was the only one who was, to her, special too. The cover, showing Doom surrounded by the skellies of heroes. Probably it's fine, right? Probably??

T-Rex: Everyone, shut up! SHUT UP, EVERYONE! T-Rex: I SAW A HORSE TODAY!! Dromiceiomimus: Holy smokes, what was it doing? T-Rex: WALKING! Dromiceiomimus: Whoah! T-Rex: And then, TROTTING! Dromiceiomimus: Whoahhhhhh Utahraptor: Thank you, T-Rex and Dromiceiomimus, for demonstrating what it's like to see a horse. T-Rex: No problem! T-Rex: Now folks, Dromiceiomimus and I were just PRETENDING to have seen a horse, but I'll tell you: it FELT real. This is the power of even IMAGINING seeing a horse walking, then trotting, and - OH DANG, I'm doing it again right now!! Utahraptor: No. NO! Utahraptor: OH NO, you're making ME imagine it too! T-Rex and off panel: Whooooaahhhhhhhh
