@leftfield To be clear, I envisioned this working so that if you clicked on a link late in the book, it would send you back towards the earlier parts, too.

it's a testament to america's shitty racist DNA that it is taking this long to decrim and legalize/tax weed when it's way better revenue than arbitrarily imprisoning/enslaving minorities and stealing their shit

science, pol, (not so) hot take
The replication crisis is a problem of capitalism. The need to earn grants and to publish "ground-breaking" research lest you lose your job means that no one really gets to focus on making sure all that older stuff gets published. You're better off trying to show some cool new fact than to replicate (or fail to replicate) something done 20 years ago.
Robotnik, but with Trotsky's weird hair
A version of Moby-Dick where every word hyperlinks to every other instance of that word, front to back, in a cycle. So, the first word, "call," links to the last instance of "call" in the book. The next instance of "call" links to the next-to-last instance, etc.

'is the pope a bear' is, at first glance, a typical malaphor. but it's absolutely possible that the pope at some point in time would actually [i]be[/i] a bear. and that's hilarious to me

When I was, like, 12, I thought Sonic 3 & Knuckles was the greatest game ever. When I was 18, I actively enjoyed Weezer, particularly the first album. Tastes change. People change. I don't like Sonic or Weezer anymore but I do own a blue penis. Every little thing influences you in a certain way.

love to be a programmer reinventing stuff from the 70s every ten years for no reason

@interneteh This immediately reminded me of that BoingBoing article about harbinger households, aka people who consistently choose loser candidates: https://boingboing.net/2019/12/03/harbringer-of-doom.html

@melissasage God was slacking off in making me fatter, but then Melissa intervened
