If you put a bandage over the big hole in your chest you can get a good drumming sound out of it.

I didn’t realize there were alternate hardware options available. I have the custom firmware installed on mine, but I had two of them crap out of me in the past so it’s crossed my mind that if that happened again the resale market for them might force this one to be my last.

Some ds and 3ds games tried to shoehorn in touchscreen usage, which was annoying because there’s no shame in a good game not making use of the stylus. With that said, the ones that made good use of both screens were spectacular. Shoutout to Yo-Kai Watch 3.

My favorite cat was named Buddy, but since he would get into a lot of mischief we would often refer to him as “the monster”. Once you start calling your cat Buddy Monster, you’ll find you’re now a very short distance from Monster of Buddies I’m pulling your strings.

…I literally had a colonoscopy yesterday because the “self-dislodging” stent placed in my pancreas months ago got itself lodged in the exit.

Just weird stumbling on this now of all times.

When I lived alone I was great about cleaning up any messes made in memory, but dust bunnies had eternal lifespans.

I think the person who drew this comic was born into the wrong generation. (They’re a boomer at heart.)

Any impact protest voters might have had could be outweighed a thousandfold by nonvoters. Why call out protest voters unprompted as a cause of an election swing when their impact is a drop in an ocean?

Half the country didn’t vote. If 1% of them leaned Biden they would still have had more impact than protest voters, and I feel like the percentage leaning Biden might have been slightly higher than 1%.

I feel like I see protest voters called out 300x as much as nonvoters and I can never understand why it’s so disproportionate.

Yeah I opened the door to the wrong car once before and almost got in. I can picture myself getting as far as sitting down, but I can’t picture myself realizing and then thinking “hey there’s no rush so I should pull out my phone to take a photo of this dog before leaving”.

I’ll be honest, other than being a billionaire in the first place all I know is the stuff following the student protests at Harvard over the genocide in Palestine.

The summary (as I remember it, someone else please chime in and correct inaccuracies because no way in hell am I re-reading this garbage):

Ackman had been very publicly in support of the Harvard president’s decision to crack down hard on students protesting the genocide. Very shortly after bad publicity over expulsion threats (there might have been an actual explulsion? don’t remember) had forced her her to cede ground on Harvard’s ban on protesting, some right-wing personality dropped a discovery that she had plagiarized portions of her dissertation. Ackman was undoubtedly already peeved at her and went all-in on publicly calling for her to resign over this plagiarism.

Bill Ackman’s wife is an MIT researcher, and when Ackman started leading a crusade to get the Harvard president to step down over plagiarism a couple people pointed out “hey, wasn’t your wife’s dissertation the topic of a plagiarism discussion too?” Ackman addressed this in a totally measured way by basically spending months tweeting out a full novel every day to explain how his wife plagiarizing is totally different from the Harvard president doing it. I remember someone at the time pointing out that googling his wife’s name went from not having any mentions of her plagiarism scandal in the top 100 to having like 70% of the results be about that.

I dug back up this article to give my favorite quote showing his attitude towards this:

“There were times when she said, ‘Please don’t tweet anymore’” — but he defended himself by pointing to memes online suggesting he had become a hero to wives everywhere. “There’s a meme going around that apparently I’m causing a lot of marriages to have trouble,” Ackman said. “Like this one where a husband emails his wife, ‘Honey, I did the dishes.’ And she’s like, ‘Big fucking deal. Did you see what Ackman’s doing for his wife?’”

The subheadline here gives the game away, the media is laser-focused on discrediting critics of our healthcare system.

Telling my five-year-old that if they can beat Ecco the Dolphin in front of me I will take them out for ice cream, but I’m not sitting down to watch more often than once a week.

Never thought about this before but the amount of extra exercise a heavy snow adds to a cat’s normal walk is loosely proportional to its weight.

RIP. Gone, but not forgotten.

He also had a Christmas-themed RV at one point, but he totaled it in a horrific accident.

This is a good story.

It was target store brand, I’m not sure it even had a name beyond a generic label like “cat taco truck”.

This was like five years ago but I bought this same taco truck for our boy too!!

Surrounding the joke with a comic actually makes it less funny here.
