Wayne Zelensky. This guy is the protagonist of Disney's 1989 live-action film, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, its 1992-97 sequels, and the television series in the franchise.
In it, he is the scientist father of a teenage girl and boy, and he accidentally shrinks his kids, and two other neighborhood teens, to the size of insects. Like a total melon. After that, the teens must fight diminutive dangers as the father searches for them.
This is the guy everyone's talking about in the news, which confuses me, but eh.

Man the military has crashed so much shit recently. Like 3 deadly accidents in the last couple weeks or something
i feel like i upbear everyone on this site, even if they're shitting on me
Someone sent me a picture of them playing Kor on a Steamdeck and it's just... so fucking cool to see. I made so much effort to give it that old-school gameboy vibe, and now someone's playing it on an actual handheld console. It's like a truly beautiful validation of all my struggling.
I'm just going to say that I hate April's fools internet shit. It all stopped being funny a while ago.
It would be one thing if it was like somewhat convincing so I would actually feel fooled, but I guess people are too nervous about actually tricking people so instead its just a flood of "Haha all of today we're going to be doing a bad and forced unfunny bit for no reason!".
The one funny bit I've encountered today was one of the artists I follow switching their display name to japanese and uploading like 2 amateur looking sketches to make me wonder when the fuck I started following this random account.
Also a lot of them are just lazy and either just make you go "Oh no that sucks I'd hate for that to happen" or "Oh wow a good thing, oh no its an april fools so now I feel marginally worse and not amused in the slightest".

I gotta say, -10c wind chill out here making me wonder why in the absolute fuck did our ancestors leave east Africa several million years ago and come north to Europe, eventually.
we really shoulda just left Northern Europe to the Neanderthals (who, I guess technically are also my ancestors as I'm northern European and we got a lot of DNA from them, but I digress). it's too fweakin cold and dark half the year
anyways, it's trans day of visibility so imma steal shit at work as like payment or w/e
trans day of visibility was yesterday
no need to worry, though, this means you're invisible today and can get away with whatever crimes you want
actually no fuck this, trans day of visibility is now today as well
april fools day is trash and this is an improvement
I did steal shit yesterday. today I'll just do it because I feel like it

If Amazon ever tries to claim how woke they are, I hope everyone remembers the way they attempted to defame Christian Smalls was by calling him “not very smart or articulate.”
Get bent, Amazon. Racist fucks.

Ah ha you have been made a fool
:communism-will-win:
" Nearly two million anti-social behaviour reports have gone unattended by 34 police forces in England and Wales over the past three years, new figures show.
The figures were released to the Liberal Democrats, who accused the government of being "soft on crime".
They show that 55.2% of all anti-social behaviour incidents recorded between 2019 and 2021 were not responded to.
The BBC has asked the Home Office to comment.
Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey said the Conservative government had "let anti-social behaviour run rampant" after years of failing "to give police forces the officers or resources to tackle this scourge properly"."
libs shut the fuck up, more cops or resources for them won't fix this jfc
