“The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World" by Gabriel García Márquez would have been that, but it lost its impact because my generation associates the name Esteban with the silly bellhop from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody
Pokémon Crystal, had been grinding to hatch a shiny Tyrogue out of the gifted Odd Egg. 1% chance of success and it takes about 15 minutes per attempt
I had a classmate who knew that my birthday was shortly after hers. One day, she asked me “What’s your star sign?” and I replied “I’m a skeptic”. Indignant, she retorted “No, you’re not! Your birthday is in September”
Don’t forget about getting shot in the face by a Republican Vice President
Wouldn’t be the first time. This was him on 9/11/2018 shortly before giving a memorial speech near where Flight 93 crashed:
What are you talking about, that’s clearly a pentagon
If this was a taller building, the terms would match up once the Americans skip referencing a 13th floor
Nah, I’m busy performing transgender operations on illegal immigrants that are in prison right now
I was amused when he implied that black people’s jobs have such little worth that they could be taken by illegal immigrants from insane asylums.
I laughed a lot at some of the absurd things he has said during this, but that claim so far has been the funniest. It’s phrased like he just ended a game of Clue but he can only communicate via conservative buzzwords.
Kamala just got a laugh out of me when she was talking about Trump inviting the Taliban to Camp David and she’s talking and then chokes on her words to look him up and down to try to find a PG-rated descriptor of him and ended up just saying “and this……… former president”.
40k games??? That’s far too many
You’ll get a silver coated Gmail logo in the mail to hang on your wall for clout
The theme was essentially Lego City, but with mechs and a focus on their power source. I decided to take this prompt and put mechs in the most mundane and impractical City environment possible: office work.
! Working mechs need their cup of coffee/motor oil to keep them energized
! Being a mech doesn’t make pencil-pushing or working on spreadsheets any more exciting. The computer, of course, is powered by cute animal pictures.
! This mechanized mop bucket is powered by… er.. the messes it cleans up.
! Mech Corp.’s CEO gives the quarterly reports. His levitating bow tie is powered by money, and the design is meant to evoke Baron Harkonnen’s or Emperor Palpatine’s life support systems.
I realize I did push the definition of “mech” a bit throughout, but I wanted to go for the absurd.
Veronica Taylor — her “Pokémon” co-star who voiced lead character Ash Ketchum — announced the death of Lillis, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in May.
>Rachael Lillis, a voice actor who starred in many “Pokémon” films and series as the characters Misty, Jessie and more, died Aug. 10. She was 46.
>Lillis was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2024. Veronica Taylor, Lillis’ “Pokémon” co-star who voiced the lead character Ash Ketchum, posted a statement on X Monday morning that announced Lillis’ death.
Also worth noting that Lego forum sites such as Brickset have had to take down their previously shared images as well, apparently “at the request of LEGO's IP partner “

> Honestly wondering what trick the MCU is going to pull to make RDJ being both Dr. Doom and Iron Man make sense. Maybe he’ll just never have his mask off when RDJ is the actor, or maybe it will be multiverse shenanigans. I hope it won’t be like Coulson/Sarge in Agents of SHIELD wherein one is essentially a cosmic clone of the other.
