My first date who, unbeknownst to me, is cursed to have an isekai adventure condensed into a single second of unconsciousness whenever they do something creepy, waits until I go to the bathroom to roofie my drink, gets consequentially isekaied as a steampunk fantasy WWI telegraph operator, dies 30 years later in an airship crash, then comes back to reality, when confronted with a tantalizing unattended drink, immediately chugs it before its owner returns, and subsequently passes out.

I had a dream Nintendo made another Donkey Kong show, but this time the 3DCG animation was amazing. In one episode where the main plot was Kong and krew hanging out on a beach, I could find at least nine separate stories play out and intersect simultaneously in the background.

As a consequence of this incredible visual and narrative density, each episode was only 5 minutes long, but the show still aired in half-hour segments. The DK Rap credits theme was extended to fill the rest of the runtime with “He has no future. He has no past. Endless Kong will live to see your last.” repeating over and over.

I think at one point, Endless Kong was acknowledged as the cameraman and the show was from his perspective, but he was never shown on camera and otherwise had no impact on events.

Ever feel like a fish out of water? Meet the giant mudskipper (Periophthalmodon schlosseri). Believe it or not, this fish needs to breathe air and spends a decent amount of time on land! Found on the muddy shores of mangroves in parts of Southeast Asia, it uses its pectoral fins to “skip” or “walk” across mudflats.

Paco won but not solely under his own power which means no boxing this week but I should try to beat my lat pulldown personal record. Surely nothing bad will happen.

The first time thinking about Paco Laburantes motivated me to go extra hard in the boxing gym, I agreed to a fight with an EMT and got my ass beat, and the second time, I bruised my knuckles on the heavy bag and lost the use of the same part of my hand as Paco did, so if Paco dies in Chapter 27, I'll interpret that as a sign that I should maybe calm down.

Using a scratchy brush and purposefully sloppy linework for the "what not to do" example for something totally irrelevant to linework is the art tutorial equivalent of weight loss ads where the fat "before" picture is dressed badly and looks depressed and the skinny "after" picture is stylish with a beaming smile.

The moon is crying so much because modern witches are all using contact lenses as boats instead of the traditional half eggshells. She's literally crying because of you. Come on.

Does anyone else feel guilty about going from one Wikipedia page to another? Like I go to one of my open Wikipedia tabs, but I don't want to insult the beautiful city of Dubrovnik by association, so I scroll down until I find a link to something I don't mind disrespecting, like "Hapsburg monarchy", click on that link, and once I'm on the Hapsburg monarchy page I can finally use the search bar to look for "Human papilloma virus".
