Twitter discourse is literally what you engage in if you want to lose brain cells. People use some emojis and sarcasm and then think they are right. Twitter is hugely anti-intellectual and filled with people where if you even question one thing that they say because you genuinely don’t understand something, they just act more shitty.

Oh, trust me, I know! That’s why I’ve mostly given it up. Unfortunately, sometimes I relapse…

Don’t worry, I have social media relapses and spirals too. I guess the best thing to remember is just to think about your own mental health and not push yourself too hard.

Tomorrow Is the opening day for our annual Halloween Haunt for the general public. We’ve been fortunate enough to to have the budget doubled compared to previous years and with that came new additions to the Bars I’ll be running during the nights. So everything feels fresh and new. Today I’ve done all initial prep needed to survive the weekend which totaled between combined 800 Blood Bags and Zombie Juices adult beverages along with 500 Syringes filled with Strawberry Daiquiri for one of our mixed drinks. Also tomorrow I’ll have to get caked up in a costume with makeup since the two bars are themed.
On a more personal note, I reconnected with someone who I met back in 2019 and we might go catch up sometime soon so that’s exciting.

I’m not the only one who wants to see that costume, I’d assume

I just want to quickly shout out @scat1620 because on my way to class today, I was giggling about the queens guard meme.

Went in for the new Covid booster this morning. 
Foaming at the mouth and a ravenous craving for raw meat is normal, right?

Sure, that is to be expected. Best to slay a goat at midnight during the next full moon and to feast on it

I’ve brought my dog Peach in to her primary vet for the first annual she’s due for since we got her last year. However, they’ve put us up in the same room where, just two days shy of one year ago, my previous dog Peggy was put down. I’m sitting in that room while Peach is in the back getting examined, and I’m staring at the top of the table in front of me, the last place I ever saw Peggy, both alive and dead. It’s painful.

I remember standing in a parking lot with my daughter just sobbing uncontrollably after we put a dog down. I’ve had to do it too many times over the years and it’s never any less painful. I’m sorry friend.

Went to the country side with my parents to gather grapes to make wine. Wasn’t that eventful but I did see a rainbow (it’s actually a double rainbow but the second one is very hard to see in the photo)
Made some new friends
Ye olde way of crushing grapes because my old man is really cheap when it comes to buying an electric crusher or anything that is modern.
We only managed to gather like ~520kg of grapes which he said it wasn’t enough so he decided to go buy some more… and haul everything in our car

If you hadn’t said grapes, I would’ve thought that was marijuana.

If we can get an excellent modern TV series of Mickey Mouse shorts featuring his shrill, high-pitched voice (The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse), I don’t understand why we can’t get a good Mario movie where Charles Martinet does the same.
Heck, I’m sure the cartoonish, slapstick antics of the old-fashioned cartoon style would fit Mario very well as a fully-animated character.

I’d prefer a real cartoon over a CGI Movie tbh, I’ve always loved the 90s Artworks from Club Nintendo Magazin.

Because they want to use the hype of “hey, this famous person you’ve seen in all these movies is gonna be the voice of this other famous character you’ve probably heard of!” Because film execs have no faith in their audiences.

I probably should have noted my confusion was rhetorical/sarcastic. I know why they’ve got the Pratt headlining the film, as well as the rest of the cast being Hollywood A-listers.
It’s just unfortunate that it’s what Illumination is doing to a series, to a pop-culture icon that probably doesn’t need such tactics, while also still including that original iconic voice-actor as some unknown minor role
Exactly! He would fit so well in a 2D animated style, maybe even in a more comedy-focused genre, instead of the educational animated games of the past, or the adventurous style of the Super Show.
Maybe that’s a bad idea, but I’m watching this series of new Mickey Mouse shorts on Disney Plus (there’s also plenty on Youtube from before D+ was created) – clearly inspired by his classic designs, featuring lots of dialogue between iconic characters – add in a lot of insane situations and things taken to their cartoonish extreme, and I can’t help but wonder if there can’t be something similar for Mario and co., if they’re so interested in finally giving him a proper animated outing.
