FYI I'm right on the red stripe in this map. Apparently places like Dallas that were further inside got full-on nighttime for a few minutes, instead of the dusk we got.

We're right in the path of totality, but it turns out my camera sucks so I'll just have to post my observations in text form. They handed out free eclipse glasses at the library last week, and I kept switching between looking at the eclipse through those and observing my surroundings. The latter...

Just about everyone does. Like, remember how everyone was complaining about the Lion King remake, how everyone was modeled and rendered so realistically they were utterly incapable of emoting? That's the Khajiit in a nutshell. Designed by someone who was so sure just making them look exactly...

Imagine being Lauren Boebert and getting so drunk people can tell your behavior is actually the result of being drunk and not just the result of being Lauren Boebert.

I'm not sure I can imagine any universe where the fan favorite introduced-in-the-Dreamcast-era character who goes on to be a constant fixture of the series and gets a prominent role in the third movie is Big the Cat.

I mean, it's debatable that white Americans "did not grow up under a system of actual legalized formal white privilege." I remember reading about Apartheid as a kid and being like, Wait, it's Africa, what are white people even doing there in the first place? They don't belong there! Then a few...

It's actually Easter's fault for not falling on the Sunday after Passover like it's supposed to.

Interesting. I didn't know Apple was getting into the AI thing. I mean I guess I'm not surprised, but they haven't been plastering ads for it all of their computer screens like Microsoft does.

I wish Countdown had never gone off the air. We deserve to have our own prime-time unhinged-rant-fest just like the Fox News people do!

With those kinds of numbers, there's gonna be plenty of room for all three. Wow. Like... both of those charts have the ruling party winning by the kind of margins either of our major parties could only dream of, at least at the national level. Just try not to think too hard about why the Tories...

I had no idea Red vs. Blue was still going on. I assumed it died out around the same time Halo stopped mattering.

Same reason they do everything. Because they're hobbyist programmers and having to relearn an entire programming language (or whatever hoop they're making their users jump through) is their idea of a fun weekend, and they're incapable of understanding (or accepting) that it isn't everyone else's.

I'd sure like to test that theory.

Hmm, not quite a reincarnation as such, then. Would line up nicely with the "appearing as if he had a fatal wound but survived" description of the Beast, though. I also had no idea Nero had such a cult of personality. But I guess the more things change...

Huh. I didn't realize there was a way to reconcile the "Revelation is a prophecy of the distant future" and "Revelation is just describing the then-current reign of Nero" theories. Where does the "reincarnation of Nero" thing come from?

What's the context for the line about eating dirt? Because it sounds more like a line from some TV cartoon that looks like that drawing than something from a AAA game.

"Against the will of the people" does imply a level of illegitimacy beyond what the law provides for. If a leader had to resign as soon as their approval rating dropped below 50% no one would survive their first week in office.

Not like it'll stop 99% of them from getting reelected anyway; for most of them, the only reason to run campaign ads or do tours at all is to flex on everyone that they can afford to.

Desperate enough to admit he's too poor to pay his own fines.

So you're saying if we somehow managed to pass Medicare For All, we'd actually get to brag about having leap-frogged Canada in terms of how socialized our medicine is?
