You know how a solemn speech was prepared for Nixon in case the Apollo 11 astronauts didn't make it back? I wonder if there was also an alternate banner ready to go for GWB in case shit hit the fan earlier and more visibly than anticipated. Like "Whoopsie, my bad" instead of "Mission accomplished"

Who could really say no to this?
Remember when people used to be all “hard times creates great art” because no actually it’s just this.
"Check on your trans frie-" No. Give them money. Hire them. Buy them a video game.
Thank you! I've been saying that for decades
You don't even hear him speak like a human (at least not in the games I've played), he just growls and roars! He's totally a jaguar

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.
Mainstream media: nothing
Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.
Mainstream media: nothing.
This is what extreme media bias looks like.
Better make it two so the megajaguar can lend a paw as well!
It doesn't matter where he grips it, it's a question of power-to-weight ratio!
This is 100% correct. No notes
the literacy crisis affects art, too, because there's so much meaning in every word here. "vulnerable" implies the advice may not be trustworthy. the fact he's been turning it over means he's been trying to determine additional meaning from it throughout his life. compressing it loses meaning!!!!!!!

Can't have a nonhuman knee orientation if you don't have knees *taps forehead*
I love to work with my hands! Or the closest approximation of them that I have available, at least.
so I was saying about how you have to stand up for the art that makes you uncomfortable when it gets banned? and how there's a slippery slope on this stuff and we're all in this together?
so, sites are now out there banning "the wrong kind of knees" so I think I can safely rest my case.
Street mural of Harriet Tubman reaching toward the viewer with a helping hand. A little girl facing the mural is in the foreground for scale. Artist: Michael Rosato. The mural, painted in 2019, is located behind 424 Race Street in Cambridge, MD on the exterior wall of the Harriet Tubman Museum and Education Center.
Did you know that tomorrow, March 10th marks the National Day of Rest for Black Women, a day created to center rest, reflection, and renewal? It's also the anniversary of Harriet Tubman’s passing, honoring her powerful legacy of courage, resistance, and liberation.
Ooof, I'm sorry you had to deal with that! Personally, I always stayed away from it just because I was already tired of every form of media that took something lighthearted and whimsical and made it edgy and violent. I got that out of my system pretty thoroughly with Happy Tree Friends.
I think it'd be cool for there to be like, a werewolfess butcher who runs a meat shop specializing in game animals who hunts for the meat she sells at night with her pack.
She has a discount meat section with a sign labeled "WARNING: DISCOUNT PRODUCT MAY INDUCE LYCANTHROPY. CONSUME AT OWN RISK."
If you make your game easy and fun to mod, you create an environment for the next generation of game devs to learn how to make games.
If you deliberately remove modding from your game, or vibecode your game into it being incredibly frustrating to mod, you are eating the seed corn.
when it works it works

happy international women's day!
No report in the Guardian about a woman MP being attacked on International Women’s Day by transphobic fascists after just a week in the job.
They have these “news” items though
I think I need to go clothes shopping
I'm setting out on watching Star Trek Voyager from the start, having only watched individual episodes here and there before, and after half of the pilot I gotta ask - does Tom Paris ever get the punches in the face he deserves?
If you're stuck on (esp.) composition or pose, put that fine line down and draw with the fattest pen you got, it'll force you to stop sweating the details and deal with the basic shapes and movement ;)
Mel, the sergal with the explosive temper! Don't worry, ROSE is there to help keep a lid on their ire so that they don't take the heroes' lids clean off their shoulders.
Of course, when the after-party comes, the clothes may come off, but the chain definitely stays on.
They proudly wear the Helix!
This March, become ungovernable by the square-cube law
