Hi, I'm Croix, pronounced "Croy." I make music (sometimes) and stream fairly regularly on Twitch at www.twitch.tv/jenesaiscroix
I play video tapes I've found, both stuff people have recorded off TV and other random oddball tapes I come across in my hunt for forgotten treasures!

Jesus H Cristo there sure are a flood of islamophobes tonight from those that might consider themselves "Liberal."
America's politic might emerge from our crisis with a semblance of compassion & kindness but England feels like nothing but hate and righteous vengeance, as it has been for centuries.

Ever have a 180 BPM song run through your head for hours on end? Not even my nighttime meds are fixing this.

As an aside, it's going to weather so nicely over the coming decades.

What season was it? That may be a clue.

This project I started yesterday will absolutely consume me if I don't finish it in the next couple of days.
I'm locked in, which explains why I'm posting at 1:20 in the morning

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

After announcing a $20 billion bailout of Argentina, the White House now says it's pausing $18 billion in funding for NYC infrastructure projects

Sneezing is just your soul trying to leave your body! Saying "bless you" shoves it back in!

Nowadays, their event Whoppers are just the same burgers except with a different bun, and sometimes the only thing they add is food coloring.

Also also, none of you are beating the “everyone on Bluesky is 38” allegations.

Whenever I'm doing something that I know is futile but I'm hoping it works anyway, I mimic Flanders' "Godspeed, little doodle."
Usually for emails and job applications.

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and the House. This government shutdown is failed Republican leadership on full display.

Nobody asked for it. We did it anyway.

If you ever used Winamp during the later years, it had an awesome, awesome visualizer called Milkdrop. The Webamp people implemented a workalike called Butterchurn.

Internet Archive now supports Webamp and Butterchurn. Just click on the llama!

As an (autistic) kid in the 90s, I loved the McDonald's Monopoly game so I had to pick up this flyer for the 1982 version before they partnered with Parker Brothers.
I don't have a large-format scanner, so I had to stitch the tri-fold scene together.
And look, I won a free order of french fries!

Front cover of the $20,000,000 Quality in the bag collecting game, with over 50,000,000 cash and foot prizes. Art features cartoon ingredients.

Inside cover with places to collect all the stamps needed to win each prize. Some are filled in. Also has fun facts about each of the ingredients.

One panel has a place to put your instant win prizes, including one actual game piece that would have been good for a french fry prize in 1982

Back panel of the tri-fold are the rules with odds.

If we only had an elected group of people that could enforce those laws, you wouldn't happen to know anyone, would you?
