in that case, mewtwo is basically just a ripoff of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.” what other public domain classics did Pokémon manage to repackage and resell to us?!
I like coffee, Philly, Pittsburgh, Arabic language, anything on two wheels, music, linux, theology, cats, computers, pacifism, art, unity, equity, etymology, the power of words, and getting high off airplane glue. Will use Adobe Illustrator for food.

Hank: “Bobby, when I was little, we had 151 Pokémon, and that was plenty! We didn’t even have confirmation that Mew existed until maybe a decade later, and we were all so happy that we threw a party! Remember, Boomhauer?”
Boomhauer: “Well I tell ya what man igottagetyaonthepokemonromhacksbecausebackthentheydidntknowgaddumnallaboutjapaneseso (chuckling) theyjustchangedthejapanesecharacterstoenglishones man andnobodycaredtheydjustsitthereonno$gbandmakeuppokemonnameslike ‘turt’ or ‘hors’ andwe’dalljustlikestumblethroughthebarelytranslatedgames tryingtofigureoutwhattodoman it was a joy to be included”

i am old in terms of internet years, and Bill Gates really is living proof that billionaires can essentially destroy the lives of thousands and thousands of people to gather their wealth, and then spend the autumn of their years choosing which countries or causes get a splash-out of the unfathomable excess, like a little kinglet.
i am happy his money helped fix stuff in the world. but that’s called “catching up to what has been expected of you for 60 years.” he does not get a cookie for working out of the Andrew Carnegie playbook.
the mergers & acquisitions leviathan eats yet another beautiful thing, just like it ate my precious linode.
i just wanted to drop my personal favorite self-hosted git alternative, Gogs (gogs.io). i have very modest git needs (i just need a place to host code and interact with the git
client), and i think it fits the bill well.
i am not associated with it at all, i just want folks to know that self-hosting your own git service has really never been easier or better; there are so many good options, like a similar project, gitea.
if you are uncomfortable with exposing your home network to the internet, you can use tools like tailscale funnel
or a reverse proxy server like caddy
and a $5 VPS from any cloud host of your choosing to obscure your home IP, while still keeping the storage and the brains somewhere closeby.
imo, the only way forward for all of us to stay safe is to keep repeating a simple mantra: “let’s go back to making websites.”
Hank Hill recognizes 152 Pokémon total. The first 151, and then Stunfisk.
Hank, suddenly intrigued: “Wait, there’s a ‘grass type’ Pokemon?”
Bobby: “Dad, everybody knows they can’t catch Rayquazza… it entices .”
I dunno why, but I have always been obsessed with sculpture that takes a common form or object and stretches it to make it seemingly bend reality.
My favorite example is this sculpture they have on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University. It is a long, tapered pole that goes on into the sky, and it has statues of people walking vertically up it, and depending on the weather and what time of day it is, it has this very convincing effect. Really makes you think that people are walking up into the sky for a second.

Funkwhale works nice, but honestly, I am a big fan of just using mpd
and piping the audio over a networked speaker, but I’m a simple boy with simple needs.
What, do you want me to hang around the paraplegic wing of the hospital? This is way safer for everyone involved.
That was the only real answer.
Congrats on your new baby, Beto O’Rourke.
that’s all by bus, really. I live at the top of a hill that used to be used as a qualifier in a professional bicycling circuit. I tried getting up it on pedal power, it’s just too much.
I got an eBike recently though, it really does make that hill a breeze.
my advice, personally? if you’re curious, get a Botox injection. it is temporary, exceedingly well-studied, and generally does not interact with any other precription medicine. If you don’t like it, it will wear off, just don’t get it again and you’re gold.
however, do NOT get fillers done, because from what research has been coming out over the past few years, the general consensus is that fillers do not break down in the body, and merely migrate when the dermis loses tensity. you will almost certainly need to get them surgically removed, and that shit isn’t as easy as just injecting it back out. Though, I understand that recent studies have opened up a method of using some new kind of radio wave mapping to determine where all the filler went so that they can actually suck it back out piece by piece.
cheap, too. it’s just processed Clostridium botulinum poison; you can brew that in large vats for pennies on the dose. In some cases, it’s cheaper to make than pills.
officer, promote that person
I thought that Ukulele was a pretty nice way to learn the foundations of string instruments
