I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

Puritans were such obnoxious fuckfaces, they less left England for religious freedom but were so thoroughly shunned by others, no one wanted anything to do with them so they HAD to leave.
And when they got here?
They did a genocide and hanged women.
So.
Fuck Thanksgiving!

On the topic of Thansgiving, my parents moved to Plymouth when I was a teenager. The one thing that cured my ra-ra pilgrim bullshit real quick were the Indigenous Wampanoag protests proclaiming Thanksgiving a day of mourning.
This holiday has good carbs.

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

Please consider doing a kindness this giving season and help Dani fulfill this Angel Tree request. Those are for children, usually living in poverty, who need help having a brighter holiday. Even if you can't cover the whole thing, you can help make a difference for this child.
Hiding on this account due to safety concerns if anyone wants to share.
Also, I would love to fill this angel tree while I'm still working in this Walmart.
$40-50 will help cover things with snowboots/jacket being needed!! More is always appreciated to go above ❤️

People got fussy back in the day when people brought up the term "social contract" as part of gaming, but that's what it is.
- What kind of game are we trying to play?
- What's people's roles in that?
Stated up front, people can decide if that's what they want or not.

The main issue with the box o art is the supplies in it aren't even crayola level functional.
An experienced artist will know this, appreciate that your heart was in the right place, and then never use it.
A beginning artist will not know this and blame themselves when their art is bad.

I've been given it many times in my life and it was usable once: in 1989.
