Randomness!

Will humanity ever be free of the influence of Edna Mode? Can any of us so much as consider the character design for a hero or villain without her manifesting in the room, fully aware of our sins?

You know what, another layer of difficulty is when you’re thinking about villains, and the wise words of Megamind come into your head. You don’t just want your child to be just a regular villain. But how do you make your villain a Supervillain with no cape? Where is the drama? But Edna says no capes, you must deny them the flair. It is impossible to please them both, and it’s tearing this family apart.

Counteroffer: Big dramatic cloak to protect your identity that you drop on the floor before every fight

I can’t believe the compromise is Obi-Wan Kenobi

Okay, but I love that Gandalf is just dropping his cloak to reveal another, slightly smaller cloak underneath it.

Recently, a couple moved into my building. I made them a lasagna, because that’s what I do when people move in. They returned the baking dish full of delicious baked mac & cheese, plus a tupperware full of banana corn muffins. I brought the tupperware back with a couple of slices of pie. They brought me a couple of plates, one with cupcakes and one with meatloaf and corn and mashed potatoes. I made up two plates of pork roast and green beans and rice, and brought them over after they got home from a 12+ hour drive. I don’t know how we ended up in this delightful little exchange program but I am having a great time.

THIS.

If ur following me and u have a default pfp please for the love of Gods change it.

one thing that has been very heartening and morale-boosting for me lately is seeing ed zitron's predictions for the tech industry's greed being proven right. i mean it's not great situations but it means more eyes are on the absurdity and unsustainability of the fake money numbers, the absolute depravity necessary to prop them up, and the doomer narratives meant to coerce people into blind passive compliance instead of asking questions. ed zitron has been showing up on all kinds of news outlets and talk shows and podcasts in the past couple weeks and his smile gets bigger every time. it is the smile of a man who broke the story of openai's audited financials and had found within them everything he'd predicted

now is the summer of Ed Zitron's Markiplier Honey Moment. and the answer to "where is the money coming from" is like... private equity, subsidized user subscriptions that operate at a massive loss, circular financing among the same handful of companies + their shells, and now public stock pump-and-dumps. which of course is awesomely healthy for what he calls the Rot Com Bubble

after seeing him riffing with brennan lee mulligan of all people just now (looking very pleased to share the latest skeletons discovered in the tech industry's collective closet) i think ed zitron's Summer Of Smiles World Tour should include a guest spot on game changer for no other reason than i think it would be funny. if they got the legal eagle of all people then they should get ed on too

i am massively overdue for a very very good week where not a single bad thing happens and everything is easy

reblog to give prev a very good week where not a single bad thing happens and everything is easy

i used to work for a nature center and we would constantly have wild owls come and call out to the owls in their cages and try to 1.) get them to follow them or 2.) they were looking for a mate
