The first living thing to go through the device was a small white rat. I still have him, in fact. As you can see, the damage was not so great as they say.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Classic tweet from @BAKKOOONN. A drawing of President Nixon on the phone was captioned "President Nixon talks to the astronauts on the moon". Tweet reads "im fingerng your wifes pussy you idiot. she loves it, says not to come back from the moon. your son calls me dad"

Crudely photoshopped to have a creepy robot face instead of Nixon and caption reading "Claude" rather than "President Nixon"

The full grumpy toddler style limp body as he's being lifted out is perfection. He wants to be in the hole.

Think of all the revenue they are forgoing by not charging rich people to ride the bus. Surely that's many more times the cost and effort to issue and check bus passes. Orders of magnitude!

Andrew Cuomo tweet:

@ZohranKMamdani's "plan" provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.

Lower income New Yorkers are more likely to ride the bus s. Also the house he used to live in before he split with Sandra Lee is worth 1.8 million dollars (third link) and had five bedrooms and six bathrooms and at 5,000 sqft meets the historical definition of a mansion

If a parody of the bio-documentary genre built around Jeffery Epstein isn't too grotesque topically for you to enjoy, this is def worth a watch.

I find the implied cyclical or eternal-recurrence narrative of the Zelda games one of the most interesting things about them, all the more so because it probably is not actually a conscious narrative decision by the makers so much as a byproduct of the way they tell the stories they want to.

A comic parody of The Legend of Zelda. In the first panel, a knight addresses Princess Zelda, saying, “Your majesty…” while gesturing toward Link, who stands nearby. In the next panels, the knight says, “This nonverbal twink with a sword says he’ll die for you,” while Link points to himself and adds, “Also he loves to play dress-up.” Zelda, looking serious, responds, “I’m going to lock us in an endless cycle of reincarnation so we can be together in every lifetime.” The comic is credited to Adam Tots (@adamtots) with the tweet handle @garlicblog.

Morning after a lot of drinking I was woken up on a friends couch. There was a small pile of puke next to the couch. Half-asleep and very hungover, I felt it was important to state I didn't remember throwing up on the floor. I didn't deny it was probably my vomit but insisted I couldn't confirm that
