GTA Vice City (2002) was set in 1986 with songs like Billie Jean and Cutting Crew’s (I Just Died) In Your Arms on the radio

to make an equivalent retro game today in 2026– it’d be set in 2010 with songs like Katy Perry’s California Gurls, Ke$ha’s Tik Tok and Gaga’s Bad Romance

Those dogs that played poker probably just use gambling apps now and that makes me sad

The dream is to create a sitcom with a pun title very dependent on the pilot gimmick, only to abandon the gimmick & have it awkwardly hang around as the show evolves. Something like “Quacking Up” & we write the pet duck out of the show after episode 4 because it can’t follow cues

Huge thanks to this Croatian supporter for giving me the opportunity to create a GIF that I will use on here almost daily.

the montreal shooter's manifesto is so tedious most readers won't make it to the really funny parts at the end where he reveals that his true desire is not for gf, but to be part of the immortal cyborg communist secret police, stopping just shy of providing OC of their uniforms

Cuba for 60 years: we love communism, communism is the most important thing in the world to us, we'll be communist forever.

Cuba immediately after meeting Hasan: wow communism is insanely stupid.

The teachers aren’t lying to the gifted kids—they really believe academic achievement correlates to success—but that’s largely because academic achievement is the thing they can influence. Orthodontists believe success correlates to straight teeth.

Author writes about a study claiming that only about 12% of gifted children become “eminent” people as adults, and proceeds to argue that there is no such thing as a gifted child without considering whether, people become “eminent” based on characteristics other than intellect.

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

Gifted and Talented, or G&T, programs have long been a perennial subject of debate, particularly in New York City, where it has bedeviled mayors for years. Some parents have already washed their hands of the whole G&T business, refusing to participate in what they view as a corrupt system of segregation. But countless others still place significant stock in the G&T designation and what it offers and are comfortable relying on cognitive testing, should it be required, to determine whether a child qualifies.

“When your intelligence is the foundation of your self-perception, failing to achieve feels like soul death,” writes Katie Arnold-Ratliff. But if the limited amount of information we have about gifted kids long-term is any indication, most lead, at best, ordinary lives of modest accomplishment. A 35-year study of 677 gifted children found that by age 50, only 12.3 percent had reached a level of “eminence,” defined as “full professors … Fortune 500 executives … judges and lawyers, leaders in biomedicine, award-winning journalists and writers.” This means 88 percent never did.

Arnold-Ratliff digs into the myth of the gifted child, and how our notions of intelligence may be inherently flawed: https://t.co/fmZ8IZGyXC

The most eminent guy from my high school isn’t any smarter than me but he’s much friendlier, more polished, and comes from a better class background. Which is why he’s eminent and I’m merely comfortable.

Old Melchizedek is a numinous man,
Gleaming gold his tunic is, and his sandals they are tan.
None has ever known him yet, for Mel, he is the Prefiguration:
His works are stranger works, and his food is true libation.

Some inspired Ukrainians built an interactive website showing how long it takes for the world's slowest creatures to reach Kupiansk in contrast with the Russian army. Complete with David Attenborough quotes and set to "Kalinka." https://t.co/kFcqGZ6weo
