“If the narcs think I’m gonna stop baking brownies for my kids with AIDS, they can go fuck themselves in Macy’s window!”
Mary Jane Rathbun (1922-1999) was raised in Minneapolis and later became known as "Brownie Mary" in San Francisco as the Godmother of the medical marijuana movement.
Tumblr has confirmed the same lesson that I first learned on R*ddit: the majority of people who engage with cooking ragebait don't know how to cook. I don't mean that as a criticism of their cooking skills, I mean that if they actually knew how to cook they would recognize that the process being described is physically impossible. The very inconsistencies that they're letting themselves get worked up about are the proof.
I wasted 20 minutes of my life scrolling the notes for just one person calling it like it is and came up empty handed. I think that's my cue to go touch grass. Or at least a pan.
i like how all cats regardless of species can either look rlly badass and cool or just incredibly silly stupid

cooking has a negative-to-marginal lyapunov exponent
baking has a positive lyapunov exponent
Hang on I need to Google something
Why would you use Lyapunov exponents when van Ommen et al., 2011 says there are more accessible alternatives

"rickrolling is mean" rickrolling is the gentle, kind, prosocial descendant of what we used to do on the internet, which was putting a redirect to goatse in every possible misspelling of a url
Who the hell is calling rickrolling mean???
Younger folk, I do not endorse looking up goatse.
There's someone in the comments who thinks goatse isn't porn. It might not be to most people's taste, but it's definitely porn.
I would say the photo was originally intended as sexual, probably for porn, but its use as goatse was definitely intended to shock, not as erotic content. The point of it was to force it on people who were not expecting and prepared for graphic pornography, generating a usually not hot experience.
I did look it up a few years ago and found it much less shocking than I had at 18, but as goatse (an image linked to as a surprise intended to shock and disgust) it's not used as pornography.
FYI, to save people looking it up because I get the temptation: it's a person holding their anus open towards the camera so you can see everything.
Fair to differentiate between the original image and the shock site. The original was definitely porn, as were the originals of many other shock sites. "Look at these weird gross people having weird gross sex, isn't it funny how shocking it is" was such a big part of online culture then. I don't miss it.
Anyone who wants to read about the history without seeing the image can check out this article:

I have instituted a New Rule for myself.
Every time I feel the urge to get in a pointless internet argument, I instead go to Wikipedia and make a page for one of the Nancy Drew books that does not currently have its own page.
It's about as time-consuming, adds to the sum total of human knowledge rather than subtracting from it, and has the added bonus of not giving me a migraine.
This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.

You'll soon be able to play a 'VtM'-style vampire in 'D&D.'
Vampire: The Masquerade—Bound by Blood is an officially licensed supplement created by Ghostfire Gaming that brings a Kindred (VtM‘s name for vampires) class to Dungeons & Dragons 5.5e. According to the product description on D&D Beyond, Bound by Blood is a “full vampire class powered by Blood Points, Disciplines, and the ever-clawing Beast inside! Included in this release is a heart-pounding Dark Ages adventure.”

🎶Homogenization! What a wonderful phrase! Homogenization! Ain't no passing craze! We get royalties From synergies! Homogenization! 🎶
Look, I hate this as much as the next guy, but there is a use case for this. It is a frustrating use case, because it is for players who are not playing the game correctly, but it is not just 'Wizards is a greedy evil company that wants to make every game D&D'.
There is a Type Of Guy who wants to play the exact same character in every TTRPG they play. I don't mean "they always play a spellcaster" or "they have a thing for dwarves" or even "they get pissy if you try to make them play a TTRPG that isn't an OSR setting"- I mean they want to play the exact same guy. They insist that they always play Dzzyyt'rklk the Drow Ranger, regardless of whether they're playing D&D, GURPS, Shadowrun, or Call of Cthulhu. It's like their fursona.
This Type Of Guy is most common in D&D because of aforementioned homogenization, but he sure as hell exists in V:TM too. (There are less of them, but the ones that exist are louder and more annoying about it. The LARP angle does not help.)
If you are a DM running a D&D home game, because you want to play with your friends and most of your friends play 5e and don't want to play VTM, and one of your friends is That Type Of Guy who always wants to play his fucking fishmalk in every fucking game, and you don't want to exclude him because he's a great guy, he's just got this one really annoying habit... You basically have three options.
You can tell That Guy "no, you can't do that, and if you keep insisting on doing that you can't play anymore." You can try to work with him to find a concept that will work within your setting that lets him translate the character over. Or you can try to make some godawful homebrew cludge that lets That Guy have his exact character, game engine be damned.
This gamebook exists for DMs who would rather choose Option 3 (and thus preserve harmony at the table) than set a boundary that could upset a friend.
...It's also not a Wizards product or part of their ~Brand Strategery~. You notice, this is made by an indie team? 'Officially licensed' means 'we got permission from the rights holder and/or paid them some money so they don't sue us to oblivion'. It's sold on DND's official marketplace, because that's where you go to sell stuff to 5e players. This is not a WOTC product. It is barely produced under their auspices. The guys who made it paid money to Wizards and whoever the fuck owns VTM now so that they wouldn't get sued to hell.
Do I like that that gamebook exists? Of course not; I'd rather more people understand how RPGs work and play them accordingly! But I can't fault anyone for not wanting to deal with a huge amount of drama over something that is, functionally, a leisure activity. And making a homebrew VTM/DND cludge is a nightmare that no DM should have to do. The indie team who made this book is trying to solve a real problem; it is a problem that shouldn't exist, but they are trying to do something helpful for the community.

You can't imagine how many Wiki pages I've realized are wrong since I started doing dissertation research.
I need you to know how heartbreaking this is.
My good friend Wikipedia is wrong? Wrong about basic facts? How can this be?
Hey, don't cry. Once in undergrad I was using Wikipedia as a study aid and one of the sources for an article I was reading was a paper published by the professor whose class I was studying for.
The only reason I got a B+ and not an A in that class was because the final was at 7:30am the day after St. Patrick's Day
