Pokopia ad on the subway
Ditto-shaped ads hanging from the ceiling and a ditto on the side of the bench on the train
More pokopia ads in the same train car
The Hanzomon Line symbol with a ditto on it
On Pokopia’s launch day I lucked into riding this particular subway line in Tokyo
I am Team Never Keycard out of spite, so if I get it, I'm getting it digital. If they're gonna make me download a ton of stuff for a keycard, I may as well download the whole game. I also don't ever sell my games, so the 'advantage' of resale means nothing to me.
Ooh, you may need to recheck that QR code! YouTube recently took down the original RickRoll video after it got incorrectly flagged for copyright infringement.
A close up photo of a parking bollard, used to prevent cars from driving closer to a sidewalk or building. Any context clues for where the bollard is located have been cropped.
I have never understood the point of taking personal photos of landmarks. Professionals do it way better, so why take yet another photo to add to the hundreds of thousands of them? So when I'm on vacation I take unique photos with no context. Below is a parking bollard near the Seattle Space Needle.
People always mention "oh, Arthur Conan-Doyle believed in Mysticism, like seances" as a fun trivia fact. So then you think- oh, the Sherlock author just had a guilty pleasure hobby. No, no. The man went HARD. The fanboys try to downplay this, lest he get removed from Serious Literary Canon.
Without backscroll or wiki-- I believe the Christmas yellow door confirms she is alive but wants nothing to do with him for unclear reasons. August seems civil with her, but based on boss interaction they were never married or even dating. And... I think that is all.
Oh. Oh, geez. Given what we know about Gustopher's Mom, *and* this is part one of four? There are multiple outcomes here but I'm just gonna pre-empt the tissues now, just in case.
I think it's more like... in order to be outstanding at their craft, all of these authors must also be very skilled at specific writing-based fundamentals- word choice, description, narrative flow, pacing, and such. So even if they're made to write in a new genre, the fundamentals are there.
If trans people want/need to leave, that is worthy. It’s also worthy to stay and fight, or to need to stay and still need rights. Queer folks in red states need and deserve our support at least as much as the work being done from “safer” states
the problem is bigotry, but the tool they're using to spread it is *the concept of pornography*. as long as we accept the idea that "pornography" is
1. meaningfully distinct from other forms of art, and
2. inherently bad or shameful
it will continue to be a weapon conservatives can use against us!
“Great Man” theories of history may have been wrong but “That F*ing Guy” theory looks increasingly plausible.
Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.
Screenshot of Elon Musk post on Ex: “Elon Musk y X @elonmusk For those unaware, Space has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city. That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.”
BREAKING: “in my 24th year of my quest to settle the planet Mars, I have just been informed of a basic fact of celestial mechanics.”
based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens
(If this sort of thing does not convince people to try cooking their own food, I don't know what will.)
The schluck is the price you pay to be lazy in the kitchen. I still have a video of college-me preparing dinner, knowing full well that it causes intense psychic damage to anyone with actual food standards. I am not a gourmand- this bad boy went straight into a microwave, and then into my mouth.
Reminds me of the NaNoWriMo scandal where the ED was trying to insist that people who hate AI are classist and ableist.
For the life of me, I can't tell if these people actually believe what they say, or if they're just spewing random words to justify the pro-AI conclusion they already reached.
So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume
The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll
Whelp, nothing for it. Guess I'll just have to go through all of my beloved and/or memorable kid lit books to see which camp I can sort them into. And how much of it is morality vs something else. Truly a horrid fate. </s>
I don't think I ever hated The Giving Tree for not having good morals? I hated it because it was unfair and unjust. Which, definitely some overlap there I'd have to unpack. But this total jerk of a boy absolutely ruins a tree and there were no consequences. Similar to why I loathed Rainbow Fish.
I mean... it's true, the first camp tends to be forgotten easily. Especially if it's done poorly-- they tend to be as subtle as a brick, and no kid wants to be lectured at for any reason. But I can also say that while I think about the second type forever, it's not always a good reason?
The randomized sounds are the best thing in the world I love it so much #zelda #zootr
For anyone who still has MAGA or MAGA-adjacent folks in their lives, I would like to give you a response script if you find it useful. MAGA: "Well, s/he should/n't have..." You: "Oh, so they deserved an immediate, extrajudicial death sentence? Please show me where in U.S. law this is a lawful use of force."* They cannot because it is not. Also, for the record, ICE has not killed 2 people in 2026. They have killed 9. Keith Porter, Parady La, Heber Sanchaz Dominguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luiz Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos all deserve to be remembered as well. *Do not accept vibes in lieu of citations. That way lies the breakdown of civil society. "I believe" or "Well, I just think" are not valid citations to U.S. law.
My original facebook post:
In difficult times, more than ever, you need to have a battle cry of faith. Create a sound of victory. “Yes, this problem is big, but I know my dick is bigger.”
Everyone has a part to play. Even—especially—the person who moderates the subreddit for videos of people patting their cat on the butt really rapidly.
I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength
I know my diet probably isn’t super ideal because I’ll go grocery shopping the day before a giant winter storm and NOTHING I need is out of stock
I mean... sure? But there is, as it turns out, a huge grey area in between "turning around on a dime" and "taking an entire day to turn around"
