…ok? I guess?

Cain and Abel were the original Super Smash Bros

I wasn’t aware of this Calvin and Hobbes comic. And living near such (nearly) unspoiled beauty really does drive home how priceless it is.

Calvin and Hobbes comic.

C: PEOPLE KEEP TALKING ABOUT OPENING MORE WILDERNESS FOR DEVELOPMENT. WE SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THE VALVE OF OIL, TIMBER, MINERALS, AND HOUSING, BUT NOT THE VALUE OF UNSPOILED BEAUTY, WILDLIFE, SOLITUDE, AND SPIRITUAL RENEWAL.
H: WE NEED TO START PUTTING PRICES ON THE PRICELESS.
C: YEAH, IF OUR WOODS ARE WORTH A ZILLION JILLION BAGILLION, THINK WHAT ALASKA IS WORTH.

Went to the farmers market and realized again why I could never have made it as an influencer. I got a delicious apple cinnamon roll—absolute decadence—and proceeded to lay wanton destruction on it. Photographing it never occurred to me. I did absolutely enjoy every crumb, however.

Updating the classic Lewis Carroll quote for the terminally online era: “Why, sometimes I've read as many as six hundred impossible things before breakfast”

The new Resident Evil is so good! A 95 minute comedy gross out.

Two horned angels hold a dripping heart. The frame below fills with blood, and several hands reach desperately above the tide.

Here for the spooky weirdo at the function to Emmy award sweeping legend transformation. Also, the litmus test for my friendship is how you feel about Widow’s Bay.

@literaturegeek.bsky.social hey, where'd the tag #DHmakes come from? For a minute I thought it was from a Slack group I'm on but now I'm not so sure

I’d ask what the point of “WHOEVER WINS AI, WINS” is if no one’s around to enjoy it and it kills us all, but no one at the top seems to care about anything beyond getting a W.

If a horse can draw a carriage I’d say so

Did you know you can throw a birthday party for a mini donkey? Neither did I, but I went. Geronimo was a perfect angel baby.

I'd also like people to understand that this is an iterative thing. Companies didn't go from "not eroding consent" to "let's all erode consent" at once. Tech has been doing this for more than 25 years. The longer we keep making excuses to keep using these things the worse it will continue to get.

Some folks will claim that this is hyperbolic, but what I wish people would understand is that tech initiatives like this serve as a means of eroding consent and lower the barrier for the persistent capture of people’s image, voice, data, or whatever else a gadget can glean.

No living painter nor any camera lens could come half as close to capturing the beauty that was this evening sky.

It would not surprise me to see anyone wearing these new Apple Watches getting the same level of contempt as those wearing pervert glasses. We should not normalize constant recording without consent. techcrunch.com/2026/09/09/a...

Any iPhone is foldable if you try hard and believe in yourself, ok?

I just saw the title for Metroid Ravenous and hoped they’d crossed Kirby with Samus. Watched the trailer and lol they actually did. Looks sick

The #iOS27 #AI feature "Write with Siri" weirds me out. I was texting about a bad haircut I got (don’t worry, I’m being very brave about it), and saw you can just ask Siri what to say in a thread. So I tried it.

Screenshot with text: It sounds like the other person is being incredibly supportive and affectionate, especially since you're feeling a bit self-conscious about your haircut.
You could respond by simply thanking them for their sweet words, or you could match their affection and tell them how much you appreciate their support. Something like, "Thank you, that really means a lot to me. I love you too," could work well.

Why are you so pale?
Me: I'm the ghost with the most, babe.

I liked when things weren’t so high resolution. It’s why I liked earlier Nintendo, because they weren’t so into 16k textures. Things were fanciful in a way that only limited hardware could allow.

I am willing to admit it is possible I was never going to love OOT remake visually. The low polygon painterly vibes for me define the original. The abstraction invites imagination for me in a way high resolution glossy realistic textures never can.
