The author of this comic strip came to our house one time when I was little. He was visiting some family at Pickwick Lake (I think) and somehow came over to our house with some of my stepmom's friends. I absolutely couldn't believe it that somebody famous was there with us at our house. He seemed like a really nice person and he left a couple of doodles of our dogs and an autograph for me and my brother.

"My kid got measles and it's my fault, can I get a WHOOP WHOOP"

Sounds like my 9 year old screaming "I didn't!!!" When he clearly did

His base will worship him more for it. He's essentially a black hole (orange hole?) at this point, his people have passed the event horizon and can't turn back.

If the spring breaks and all the tension in them is released and it unwinds all of a sudden, the whipping metal wire will chop your skull in half and make a big mess.

The Multi-Account Containers extension is great for this. Each container keeps its own context, so you can be logged in to the same service twice (or more) in tabs in one window. Can set it up so that some sites will always use a certain container, or that sites in a container will always use a proxy. That is EXTREMELY useful to me.

It was always going to come to this. Donald Trump is all my dad's shitty email forwards come to life.

Everything that seems stupid or outrageous about Trump just clicks into place one you've accepted the mandatory foundational bullshit. These people didn't reason themselves into their position, they were looking for something to believe together. It's just too bad all that faith is wasted on this asshole.

The answer is always Two Weeks.

If you connect the dots you're more likely to see the shape, and they don't want to see it (or admit out loud yet that they see it)

I had always interpreted the Walking Simulator label as a pejorative and never paid any attention to games described this way. Recently though I got The Invincible because some of the screenshots reminded me of old John Berkey paintings and I'm a total sucker for that kind of stuff, and I just absolutely loved it. I'm looking forward to trying out Firewatch.

It’s just a slur. It doesn’t really have any great meaning. It’s kind of like calling somebody a shithead. Do they really have shit on their head, or is it really made out of shit? Probably not, but that’s not the important part of the message. The important part is the accusation, and that’s about all it means. Like the word woke, it doesn’t really mean anything, but everybody who uses it as an accusation is pretty sure what they mean by it. Everybody who would call a black person a jiggaboo (or cleverly cloak it in “peekaboo”) is the same. It has no meaning, but they all agree on what it means to them.

Their business is only in propping up accusations, so he's just gonna blather.

It's so good. It's mostly just little happy musical chords that are inserted into the dialog. The tones give Rocky a great depth of character.

One thing that is really handy for development is that you can set up any container to use a proxy server. I use that a lot to reduce the sheer amount of crap that would get sent to the proxy if it were enabled at the system level or in the regular browser network settings. It really keeps the noise down.

Never Back Down

(unless it’s to drool in Donny’s lap)

We drove to Kansas City MO yesterday from Tennessee. The number of Trump 2020/2024 and Let's Go Brandon flags still flapping in the wind tells me that Josh Hawley know his audience and doesn't really care whether it's right or wrong, but whether people agree with it.

Even a remake of Okami would be great. Skip the weird simulated voices and let me mash buttons through all dialog, not just some of them. And skip the stone wall guardian guys. That should do it.

It's so illegal that it's legal. Many people are saying!

It's so good. Once the other character shows up and you hear him talking and Grace starts making sense out of what he's saying it's like the book just lights up. That was a really nice touch.
