My dumb brain has mashed up Outkast's Knowing with Grandmaster Flash & Mel Melle's White Lines (Don't Don't Do It), and the results are awesome enough that I feel kinda bad about calling my brain dumb.

Just stumbled across this .GIF I captured from a ~2022 political ad for Ken Paxton, pledging to free schoolchildren from the tyranny of Critical Race Theory. This man has been Texas Attorney General since 2014. This is an election-winning message. Intelligence and decency keep losing to THIS.

Great song, but it has been relentlessly slamming around in my head all night. Let me get some rest, K.K. Slider!

I'm beginning to realize thousands of years of human civilization can be summed up with "Trampled serfs perk up from their mud-shoveling to watch their inbred lords beef with one another. Life-altering fallout ensues."

I've watch a lot of live Switch 2 stuff today. Most of it has been people playing games they don't personally find interesting or picking at games they played years ago, but the performance and visual fidelity has been improved (and then messed up by streaming compression). Fun.

Don't be fooled by Unreal Engine proliferation, player counts, or V-Bucks—Tim is an extremely incompetent businessman. Like, Jill (of the Jungle) and Jazz (of the Jackrabbit) have never even had Fortnite skins. We haven't gotten a new Epic Pinball table in 30 years. What are they doing over there??

This article is full of specific details that are new to me, though none of them are surprising. We've known the gist of what was happening at Ubisoft for years. Shame on these monsters, their enablers, and everyone who continues to buy and praise Ubisoft's games. No video game is worth this.

Big ups to @didyouknowgaming.com for putting Switch 2's hardware and Nintendo's current business strategy in historical context and articulating why it could all be dangerously regressive. It's the stuff I've been saying for months, if not years, but presented in a way that took, like, effort.

We're number one! We're number one! No, seriously, I live in a dreadful place. I hate it. Send help.

This song is playing in my head over again.

I hope: The court ruling on tariffs will be upheld and enforced, significantly limiting economic devastation. I fear: Much damage is already done. Trump will say it's because he couldn't enact his tariffs. Idiots will fall for it, giving him more support and power. Democrats will do nothing.

5:49 A.M. The dog next door has suddenly shut up after roughly 11 hours of continuous barking, howling, and whining.

Starting my day with a track from Satanic Panic In the Attic in my head for the second morning in a row. Nothing wrong with that.

Don't: Put your lips on a dead person. Do: Put Of Montreal in your ears.
