I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”

And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.

WHAT

ON WISCONSIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what I mean by right wingers being the MOST out-of-touch!!!! Journalists who interviewed Wisconsin voters are saying that voters for both candidates were really turned-off by Musk's role in the race, and that they thought it was clear he was trying to buy their election. Musk and DOGE are getting booed in town halls in deep, deep red districts. These Republican Party officials are failing to listen to their own voters, not even just Democrats or swing voters, when they say these things. The only way you'd fail to recognize that Musk is unpopular throughout the American populace and its political spectrum is if you're in a far-right echo chamber, probably online. If you're just straight-up not leaving the house to get your impressions of how people vote.

they call it the switch 2 because you see the price and switch 2 another console

Obi-Wan wears like 53 layer of robes so everyone assumes he’s kinda soft especially compared to his ‘in the prime of his youth’ former Padawan but then one day he goes shirtless to spar and he’s shredded, he has an 8 pack. Clones and Jedi alike are choking on drinks and tripping into walls. Ahsoka is covering her eyes and screaming because that’s basically her grandpa. Anakin has to throw a robe over Obi-Wan like The Birth of Venus. 

I BLAME YOU ALL

Why isn’t this in the Met or the Louve, I ask kindly.

May I present to you Wheel Running In the Wild, a published research paper that delights me to no end:

This paper intended to test whether would mice would run on a wheel if they found one, to try and determine if this was a natural behavior or a stress response in captivity. They put a wheel in a protected little box with a camera that took pictures any time the wheel turned, and tallied up how often it was used by what.

Mice were, happily, the most common users of the wheel, and their patterns of use indicated they were doing so voluntarily once they figured it out.

But the second most common users.

Those were slugs.

In Mario Superstar Baseball, chemistry is a stat that signifies how well characters get along with others on the team. Every possible matchup of two characters has its own chemistry value ranging from 5 (horrible) to 99 (perfect) attached to it.

Interestingly, despite characters one might readily imagine not getting along well (Mario and Wario, Peach and Bowser, Luigi and King Boo, etc.) having bad chemistry, none of the "obvious" rivalries and bad relationships have the worst possible chemistry value of 5.

This one is used only for the matchups between Peach and Petey Piranha, and between Toadette and Bowser. This must mean that in the minds of the developers, these two pairs of characters harbor exceptionally deep hatred for each other.

Toadette still hasn't forgiven Bowser for taking her Super Crown.

People keep asking me how one could steal and get away with it, and while I can’t tell you any kind of useful information on the topic without ruining my professional credibility and therefore my value as a security professional, the one thing I CAN tell you is that the way anti-theft measures work, the safest way to steal and the safest THINGS to steal would be so low-value and low-volume and would waste so much of your time to take that you’d honestly be better off panhandling, which kind of defeats the purpose of theft to begin with

Ten years since we got one of the best soundtracks ever.
