Take That Darwin

Maybe I'm in the wrong, and ConAgra is just trying to appeal to the toothless core demographic clamoring for Slim Jim protein shakes that pair well with a 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘢𝘭 of crystal meth. They're the ones with the marketing data.

Every day we stray further from the most basic precepts that undergird civilization.

This is a betrayal of the founding principles even of Slim Jims, as there can be no snapping into of the Jim.

Yeah, the mountaintop monastery finally got sick of my bullshit. Apparently constantly monitoring Sonic Adventure 2 speedrun records is “inconsistent with an ascetic lifestyle of privation and self-reflection” or whatever.

surprisingly ominous

THEN YOU DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW, DO YOU.

If you’re talking about people coming into my X-ray room and declaring themselves the literal second coming of Christ, then yes. They usually don’t have quite this sort of proliferation of remarkable titles, though.

Also everyone go follow 6/7ths of my D&D party!

I have been informed that what we do here is “skeeting.” This feels… good. It rolls off the tongue as well as “tweet” does, and it calls to mind skeet shooting, an activity where people lob clay discs into the air so they can be destroyed by ALF porn.

Not one person on Bluesky has asked why monkeys still exist.

I fall to my knees, my fingers clutching at the sun-dappled earth. The air feels electrified with hope. Truly, this is the promised land: a land where the muckraker can set down his burden, as there is no muck to rake.

It worked! Everyone welcome @takethatdarwin.bsky.social!!

One of my favorite humans and one of my favorite half-elves-that-also-kinda-have-an-evil-squid-in-their-head-thanks-to-terrible-life-choices!

I'm so close to having my whole D&D party here.
