I just saw the phrase "the Peter Griffin of eroge" and I am logging off now and throwing my laptop into the sea.

It is reassuring as an American to see that other English-speaking countries also suck at traveling abroad.

Welcome back to this little asshole, who slipped out the door five days ago and only just now came back

The Mount Etna video today is incredible. @wutangforchildren.bsky.social

Stop saying Biden was executed and replaced with a robot. You are making Genocide Joe sound cool as hell.

Humans under AI.

They ... they yassified Charles Schultz?
