Some of the frivolous September purchases made under Secretary Pete Hegseth’s stewardship include a $98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, $5.3 million for Apple devices such as the new iPad, and an astronomical amount of …

Today is MAR 10, aka Mario day. It is also extremely close to the spring equinox.
This implies a cycle of Wario Day (fall equinox), Luigi Day (summer solstice), and Waluigi Day (winter solstice).
Luigi's height and generosity represents the wheat stalk; when we feast upon the harvest we embody Wario's girth and greed. Waluigi stands for the lean times that come during winter. As the snows melt he is replaced by Mario, whose plumber nature blesses the fixing of pipes that burst from the cold.
i'd say the fall of jet squelcher needs to be studied but no it just doesn't have any terribly impactful specials it can spam
The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

Every 90s sitcom problem could be solved with ethical non-monogamy and/or a cell phone

It's Mario Day!
So once again I'm sharing the amazing collaboration we had back in 10 years ago which included merch and even TCG Promos based on artwork twisting the original Super Mario Bros. artwork into Pokémon
Ever watched a Splatoon 3 tournament stream?
Then there's a 99% chance you're familiar with their work!
You don't see them very often, but you should definitely know them!
Tune in to the 20XX livestream show this weekend to witness their seasoned Streamer abilities at work! #compsplatoon
@JDfromscrubslol Had a dream there was an emoji like 💯 except it was only 60. Some post said "popeyes fries be tasting so good (60)" and I laughed so hard I woke myself up
Thinking about the 60 emoji again

Not content to just steal from the real deal, this game is also ripping off fan designs 😬
i remembered to do it
for reference, skipping across water/lava is only possible when you tap the jump button right as you make contact with its surface. it makes it a somewhat tricky mechanic that could come in handy if there's a long stretch of lava or water in the stage that you want to skip
Putting the “owo” in “hello world”
This is how bad it it is, and this is just the BASICS!
This is probably affecting ALL native tribes, here's me trying to study Koasati a while back for example bsky.app/profile/clyd...
This state of affairs of Native languages + culture brings me sadness, and I'm not really sure what to do about it other than just try to be MORE human somehow? I dunno
The last three books about the Choctaw language & culture that I've bought have *ALL* turned out to be just AI-generated junk🤬
It's genuinely infuriating to see this careless nonsense happening, as it dilutes the actual language and culture and makes it harder for me to learn about my own humanity

Google AI snippet offers a Koasati word for "sweat", but I have no easy way to check this online, so the snippet is useless to me
Another Google AI Snippet gives a very different answer for "sweat" in Koasati, but again I can't check or verify this stuff online due to the scarcity of resources, meaning Google's AI is very unreliable
Yet another different word for "sweat" from Google's AI, can't reliably trust this one either, of course. "AI" for this sort of stuff is mostly just feeling like "I'll go talk to that one weird guy who knows a lot of stuff, but because he's just some random weird guy I should probably only trust him about 1% and thus need to double-check things before I act on this info he's giving me", which feels like an instinct we'll all need to grow as we head further into this weird AI era
Google AI, I don't even know what to say about you anymore, I can barely trust you for stuff
Frustration: I'm trying to find the Koasati #NativeAmerican word for "sweat" but...
1. Google AI snippets are CLEARLY unreliable
2. The dictionaries I want to check only have PDFs on major piracy sites, which is a sad state of affairs
3. The Internet Archive only offers like 1 page out of 600
The fact that they're doing this after making a massive deal out of excluding transgender people from military service feels like it's gonna get really funny
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
agreed but I guess that one splatoon raiders date thing got people thinking
