3. This is not an easter egg at all; it's just that I'm old enough for my pattern-recognition to be useless and I should be in elder care

Either everybody already knew this existed and I was in the alone in the dark (which is plausible) or nobody knows what LEGEND was (which is depression-inducing)

First edition basic and Jungle. Probably Fossil too. Glory days! (Aside from the car crashes)

The kid was howling and in tears when he got out of the car, but this was around the year 2000 and I had a bunch of loose Pokémon commons in the van console. I gave them to the kid and he shut right up, and I haven't worried about him since.

Once I crashed an econoline van into the car ahead of me. I got out of the van and the car's passengers (a woman and a child) got out. The car drove away. The passengers got into the car BEHIND me and drove away.

I stood there for a bit trying to figure out what to do. Eventually I drove away too

It doesn't "get better" under capitalism. There's no "better" to "get." The trap is the illusion of progress. I wish I'd seen it more clearly in my youth.

I was lamenting this yesterday. All capitalist programs and policies are described in 4 steps
1. bait the trap
2. spring the trap
3. claim there was no trap/it was always this way/actually wouldn't it be nice if there WAS a trap?
4. reset the trap

This song came up on my phone while I was driving, and my 6th grader and her friend sang along the whole way to school. I was overjoyed.

Iran: look, it's simple. We literally just paint the silhouette of a plane on the ground. We literally just nail together some boxes in the shape of a tank. We literally just pull looney tunes shit. Their AI will make them spend $100 million to destroy $5 of arts and crafts.

the US: grok is this

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

One of the most influential publishers in the modern history of comics has left the company he helped found.

#DidYouKnow that the original Transformers cartoon went through many revisions before evolving into the version we got on TV? In one early pitch, there are only six Autobots fighting a global Decepticon empire, Megatron is “Negator”, and Bumblebee is “Muffler!”

T-Rex: We divide up the oceans into different oceans, but c'mon - it's all the same ocean!

T-Rex: *GASP*
T-Rex: Wait, this applies to everything!

T-Rex: We divide up the planet into different countries, but it's all the same planet! And we divide us all up into these groups, but WE'RE ALL THE SAME SPECIES!
Dromiceiomimus: I'm not.
T-Rex: Okay, fine, we're all the same CLADE! A clade, of course, being a monophyletic group of organisms sharing the same common ancestor.
Dromiceiomimus: Of course!

Utahraptor: But pterosaurs aren't dinosaurs, so they're not part of the same clade as us.
T-Rex: EUGH!

T-Rex: Utahraptor, I am TRYING to achieve some sort of ENLIGHTENMENT here, and instead I'm being bogged down in CLADE DEFINITIONS. How about this: we're all LIFE, so we're all in this together. Ruin that!!
Utahraptor: This would be much more compelling if I didn't have to devour other forms of life to maintain my own.

T-Rex: Ah, I see the trouble here. I said "ruin that!!" when I should've said "please leave me in ignorance, it's very important for my mental health right now."
T-Rex: My mistake!!

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

I was at a convention once and passed a couple of people, one of whom was dressed like this.

"SERPENT SOCIETY!" I said.

"YES!" They were thrilled someone finally recognized them and hadn't mistaken Python Princess for Poison Ivy.
