A common theme in science fiction is that if you're in space, don't trust a corporation. And Earth is in space

Before June I have to share one of my favorite tiktoks

[internet-sentences]

this shit owns it's just a number go up idle game except the idle mechanic comes from you writing JavaScript to automate tasks it seems like the end goal of the game is to perfectly optimize against this little arbitrary system they've created. There's not any plot to speak of so far but even though nothing is happening people send you messages through the computer telling you to trust no one as they all have ulterior motives. Very relatable.

Bitburner is an idle game about hacking that teaches real JavaScript

You don't have to know JavaScript to get started.

[exeggcute]

guys be careful. this game may look fun but it's actually a ploy to get you to learn javascript

[Image of text saying,

Some AAVE speakers pluralize 'child' as 'childrens'. People get racist about this ("It's already plural!"), but 'children' actually comes from Middle English speakers doing the same thing: slapping their plural marker on word already pluralized by an extinct plural marker.

To oversimplify: in Old English, 'childer' ('ċildra') was the plural of 'child' ('ċild'). Middle English developed an '-en' plural marker, which we see in 'oxen'. Instead of updating to 'childen', people slapped their preferred '-en' onto the end of 'childer' - so now we have 'child-er-en'. AAVE carries on this tradition with 'child-er-en-s'.

"Pure" language is just impurity obscured by the passage of time.

Old Tom and Jerry mug with no sign of the cat or mouse in sight.

Found at St. Vincent De Paul Thrift Store, Peru NY

A Tom & Jerry was an old cocktail from at least 200 years ago, similar to eggnog but more complicated. You don’t see many mixed drinks these days that require specially-made batter

[word-for-today]

So what happened was that first there was a novel called "Life in London; or, The Day and Night Scenes of Jerry Hawthorn, Esq., and his elegant friend, Corinthian Tom, accompanied by Bob Logic, the Oxonian, in their Rambles and Sprees through the Metropolis" by Pierce Egan, 1821, that just kinda followed a couple of urban party animals around for ~500 pages, almost Hunter S. Thompson style.

Next that book was adapted into a play simply called "Tom & Jerry, or Life in London", also 1821, and it became so popular that Tom & Jerry became standard nicknames for raucous drunk young guys, so then it got applied to the good-time drink listed above, and then in 1931 it was given to some cartoon characters. Not the ones you're thinking of, though, these two public domain knockoffs of Mutt & Jeff:

That series ended two years later, and then in 1940 MGM started a series of cartoons about a cat and a mouse, and somebody figured hey, Tom is a standard name for a male cat, so let's call the mouse Jerry. Ya know, like the alcoholic drink named after some Regency party boys.

Also, if they had stuck with the naming convention, Spike's name would have been "Bob Logic".
