I want to open a Final Fantasy-themed Vietnamese restaurant in south central Arizona. I'm going to call it "Pho Enix".

Not sure where to open up shop, but I'm thinking Scottsdale.

Don't comment on it and just post the art -> some people enjoy the art, a whole lot of people skip past it, while the only people who understand the significance of the image are those who know the reality of the wealthy making bank with dispensaries while the prison industrial complex harshly punishes Black people at much higher rates than their white counterparts for non-violent drug offenses.

Comment on the fact there there is something going on in the image -> fewer people are skipping past the image because they want to know what the secret is, and when they can't discover it, their curiosity takes them into the comments to find out. In doing so, they learn something they didn't know about the state of affairs, and a non-zero percentage of them will begin to speak up and advocate for those incarcerated under an unjust legal system.

It isn't about the art; it's about boosting the signal.

Right? And also...who needs space between two homes if there are no lawns? Just moosh all the outer walls together.

Come to think of it...that's gonna result in a ridiculously long line of houses. Maybe we could moosh roofs and bottom floors and stack 'em up a bit to make the line of houses only a half to a third as long, and then leave a little space between Consecutive House Stacks™️ - y'know, so that there'll room for more windows.

I'd let you know how much I spend in electricity through PGE, but...

  1. I just recently moved in, so I don't have good data for you yet, and

  2. Portland General Electric ≠ Pacific Gas & Electric

Danielle Fishel, the actress who played the character Topanga Lawrence on the show Boy Meets World, is married to a comedian named Jensen Karp, who tweeted that he found shrimp tails in his box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

After his tweet went viral, writer Melissa Stetten alleged that he was an abuser and stated that other women had reached out to share their own allegations against Karp with her.

Karp being a "milkshake duck" refers to a June 2016 tweet from Aussie cartoonist Ben Ward which read

The whole internet loves Milkshake Duck, a lovely duck that drinks milkshakes! 5 seconds later We regret to inform you the duck is racist

It gave a name to the phenomenon of seemingly harmless individuals' sordid pasts being called out after a brief brush with fame.

On March 24, 2021, Twitter user @BudrykZack tweeted "Shrimp Cereal Topanga Husband is a MeToo milkshake duck". The accompanying image is taken from an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called Darmok and is of the character named Darmok who is a member of the Tamarian species which speaks only in metaphors.

"MeToo" refers to the worldwide Me Too movement, that began in 2017, through which survivors of sexual assault and victims of sexual harrassment - mostly women - have come forward to admit to announce their victim hood in order to bring to light how common such assaults are and to demand an end to rape culture.

My favorite piece of text from a few years ago that I was disgusted to be able to parse was "Shrimp cereal Topanga husband is a Me Too milkshake duck."

The former South Carolina governor's remarks were her first on the matter since she dropped out of the presidential race. But she stopped short of formally endorsing her former rival." - npr.org
