Scary scary rainbows.

You kinda answered your own question.

Apart from the whole Boeing fiasco, it really feels like unforced aviation disasters have been increasing in recent years.

There were houses within skidding distance of the runway?

Edit: Okay, they completely overshot the entire airport, that makes more sense.

Another reason not to live next to an airport.

Me too.

Friends don’t let friends Lunar and drive.

“Boring conversation, anyway.”

I remember the first game having janky controls and being generally unfun.

GameBoy was by and large a Tetris machine… then Pokemon came out.

Birds inherit the Earth.

or cohabit as informal spouses.

There are unused assets in the original World of Warcraft that suggested a player housing system was being developed but never finished. The idea is as old as MMORPGs are.

The ruling Liberal Party is the non-extremist conservative party. (The irony is not lost on me.)

Damn, you just made me realize that I haven’t seen any old men with seven phones bolted to the handlebar of their bicycle cruising around and randomly stopping.

COVID executed Pokemon Go. Replaced it with Animal Crossing.

I hope they fail and Kojima gets to buy back his IP at pennies on the dollar.
