Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not
A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live. "This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario." The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World. A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?" NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers." A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD." Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version." PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands." A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.
European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

Just a reminder that I will be doing a sonic marathon stream tomorrow to raise money and honor Crescent.

On the Feb 14th @3pm EST, I am going to host an all day fundraiser stream for theCrescentFox's GoFundMe. Will be playing 2D sonic games (sonic 1-3, CD? romhacks, mania). Hoping to get Crowd Control working as well. I might squeeze in SA1/2 if time permits.

As many of you already know, we lost a very special member of our community last night. Rest in peace, Crescent. You will be dearly missed 💔

I'm sharing his brother's GFM again. Please share - donations will help cover remaining medical bills & Crescent's final expenses. Thank you very much 🧡

Watercolor painting based on the beach at Picnic Point, Washington. A sunset lights the sky in orange while dark clouds blot most of the sky. A green dragon with orange wings flies overhead. The beach is mostly sand, driftwood logs in the foreground. Text reads kamakru.com

My Kalma has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The good news is she is in good health it may be low grade, meaning surgery will drastically improve life expectancy. The bad is it normally costs around $6000 and is time sensitive- things I just do not have.

Something compelled me to make this
A screenshot of a mocked-up Guardian headline, which reads: "Ignore the smears: I was never the one who ate a full tub of Lurpack off the kitchen counter." The byline is: "My dog." And there's a picture of my dog, posing with a serious expression, like a journalist. She is a black labrador type dog with brown eyes, grey muzzle and shiny, silky fur on her face, wearing a pink collar. Underneath the headline continues: "Listen, I'm a good girl. I don't know how butter stealers thrive in our political culture, but it's clear there was a failure of moral seriousness." There's then a link to another article, headlined: "Footage of Lola eating the butter, which cost her owners £300, was captured on a dog cam." It's a parody of this article from Wes Streeting in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/09/peter-mandelson-wes-streeting-vetting-moral-seriousness

PANEL 1: An alligator resting its hand on a wheatpaste poster. ALLIGATOR: "I love that some albums still get posters plastered up around the city." PANEL 2: The alligator reading a tabloid newspaper. ALLIGATOR: "I love to still encounter a print alt-weekly, a record store, a parks department softball game, a bar whose sign is just a plastic Old Style logo, a specialty store, a phone book, a storefront theater, a repair shop." PANEL 3: The alligator crawling along on the sidewalk. ALLIGATOR: "All the signs that, as Frank O'Hara once said, "People do not totally _regret_ life." PANEL 4: The alligator eating a slice of cherry pie in a diner. ALLIGATOR: "Blessed be the website that still maintains an RSS feed. Blessed be the cassette label, the zine, the house show, the 24-hour Greek diner that still keeps dragging itself into a future across merciless concrete." PANEL 5: The alligator now drinking coffee after finishing the pie. ALLIGATOR: "I got too sincere there, wrote half a dozen final panels and am now giving up. Such is the lovely inefficiency of life."

Since nothing stays up forever on the internet (despite what we were lead to believe), I make all of my comics available in print books as well! Got a dozen of 'em by now.

You can find a list of all my books, as well as purchase links, at laurenipsum.spiderforest.com/store

A fun quick imaginative landscape painting in the evening. Some classic scenery I always think about, a dark mood with nice trees and stormy clouds. Used some old brushes I created but rarely use.
