What is the difference this article is hung up on between being attracted to blue things and finding blue things beautiful? Genuinely, what other definition of beauty could there be than a thing one is drawn to looking at? What could appreciation mean that the desire to see it doesn’t cover?

I doubt the birds have much in the way of literacy of their art but at baseline how could it not be art?

Pantomime drinking and then shrug.

I don’t count Jr because he has a Jr in his name. The other two are just Donkey Kong.

Donkey Kong Country's Donkey Kong wasn't actually the Donkey Kong from Donkey Kong. I kinda hope this redesign is gonna be justified by saying he's a third one.

I'm looking forward to rewatching these Duskbloods and Bananza trailers with audio sync later today.

On Wii U, upgraded Virtual Console games were like a buck or two if I'm remembering right. Probably in the five to ten range for full-price games if history's anything to go on.

On reading the headline, I thought I must be misremembering who the name Connor McGregor referred to but apparently no. Granted, as an American, I'm not one to throw stones.

Because those hundreds of hours are spent enjoying yourself.

It’s not complex enough to have intentions of any kind, so the only danger is that people will do incredibly stupid things with it.

Imagine duct-taping a sharp knife to a Roomba. The Roomba has no concept of what ankles or stabbing even are. It will roll around the floor as it always does, devoid of either malice or compassion, and any ankle-stabbing that ensues can only really be described as your fault.

You’re not missing anything. It’s a completely innocuous portrait.

Quoting the article:

It was unclear what triggered Trump’s tirade about the portrait.
