Musk and MAGA are a match made in ignorance

Couldn't imagine loving an english person. "Blimey that's a wedding ring, 'innit" - like come on, get it together

Couldn't imagine loving an American person.

"Boy, howdy, that's a weddin' ring. Well, I'd be damb" - like come on, get it together

Let me have this. Look at the state of my country. Let me have this.

Mammu! Finius and Ferbingetorix built Rome in a day!

I feel like this also implies that rome is somehow being destroyed by the end of the day

The Emperor Constantine loves Finius and Ferbingetorix's "New Rome" so much that he makes it his new capital and names it after himself.

Yeah that checks out.

What's the doofenschmirtz contraption/scheme of the day?

Doofenric the Ostrogoth (insert jokes about his daughter Vanessa being "Goth" but in the modern sense) invented a City-Mover-Inator to move Rome across the Danube so his Germanic confederation could sack it.

Thankfully, Agent Pericles stops him by redirecting the Inator to Finius and Ferbingetorix's New Rome instead, moving it to the Bosphorus.

While Pericles and Doofenric are fighting over the controls of the Inator, it gets accidentally changed to paint remover mode and then fired at a random direction.

Somewhere nearby a painter just finished coloring the statue of the emperor when suddenly all the paint gets removed.

Painter: Aw...

Painter, giving it a second look: Hmmm... 🤔

Candysseia: What animal even is Pericles?

Finius: We named it "platypus", meaning flat-foot.

Ferbingetorix: On account of his feet being flat.

Candysseia: And where did he come from?

Febingetorix: We have no earthly idea.

Doofenric the Goth: Pericles the- wait, what animal even are you, Agent Pericles?

Pericles: *hands him papyrus*

Doofenric: *reading* A "platypus", meaning flat-foot... oh, on account of your feet being flat!

To be clear, the Emperor Constantine looks like Roger Doofenshmirtz.

Also, I agree with everybody who says that Greco-Roman Candace's name should be Candassandra (since nobody believes her warnings).

I feel so insane about ai. I've had face-to-face conversations with people who use it for therapy, who use it to calculate the safety of pill interactions, who use it for all their emails and grant applications and legal documents and academic papers and finance sheets and for every single question they have about the world, and if you tell them about the ecological costs they just laugh and say "I guess I've used a lot of water." and I've been in multiple gatherings of 10+ people where I'm THE ONLY PERSON who doesn't use chatgpt. it's turning me into a ranting raving pariah, because how don't you people see??? why don't you understand??????? this bullshit didn't exist five years ago, you absolutely do not need it, and it is destroying everything

see i just don't think mlm ships work with good luck babe because i think that song operates on both the axes of being gay but ALSO being a woman. "when you wake up next to him in the middle of the night / with your head in your hands you're nothing more than his wife" is such a harrowing line because women are socially only defined in their relations to men instead of as their own people especially after marriage (taking his last name, changing your prefix, the physical cost and emotional labor of having children...); women often become relegated to wives and mothers whereas men are afforded agency and personhood outside of their marriages. the line from the song doesn't work for mlm couples because men are very rarely nothing more than a woman's husband no matter how "suffocating" men make marriage seem
