The boss of Taekwon-Do for the SNES will break the rules of the game and destroy the ref from the jump. I wrote an FAQ for this game back in the day.

private details of health and social vulnerabilities students disclose in comms to their faculty are precisely what makes data of young people - soon to make the largest spending decisions of their life like more education debt, car ownership, home ownership - valuable enough to force platform use

“Sauve qui peut”. This is a French phrase that translates literally to something like "save yourself who's able/can" and roughly equates to “run for your life!” or “every man for himself!”, indicating a chaotic or dangerous situation/stampede. Postcard from my collection, no date/info.

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels
This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

These poor STARVÈD babies suffering from the lack of second breakfast while mother viciously ignores them to play on her phone. A cruel, cruel mother indeed to need such reminding as her babies WASTE AWAY. 🤣
F/X (1986) Dir. Robert Mandel — Why this fun, slick thriller has faded from memory is beyond me. A movie-effects wizard is hired to fake a hit… then framed for a real murder. Smart, twisty, and engaging as hell. It's powered by a terrific turn from Bryan Brown and solid supporting cast. A lost gem🎞️📽️
Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.
Making fun of our neighborhoods and communities is disgusting. Greg Bovino and his masked agents are not here to make Chicago safer. As children are tear gassed and U.S. citizens detained, they are posing for photo ops and producing reality TV moments. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...
Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

No one reads D. A. Miller’s The Novel and the Police anymore but they should, and it’s very beautiful.
A piece about having Big Feelings about Mamdani. @mid-theory.bsky.social was a dream to work with 💖 Now glueing myself to election coverage. 🍺📺
On the day of the NYC mayoral election, Ali Raz pens a gorgeous essay reflecting on how Mamdani's rhetoric evinces a poetics of the Universal and convokes a shared commons united by labor and by the rhythms of life spent working in cities most of us cannot afford. mid-theory.com/2025/11/04/m...
Good morning. I don't know who did this, but I love you.
