And to think that in some countries these candidates are eaten.

Sadly, I am not French footballer/secret Mario post-structuralist theorist Franck Ribery, and can't take credit for writing this anyways: https://theemptypage.wordpr…

That's a really cool picture! Maybe someday we'll see Sigmario if they need a new person to race go-karts with or if Nintendo wants to make Mario Teaches Post-Structuralism.

I saw it a while back as a screenshot on Twitter, but found the text here: https://theemptypage.wordpr… I'm going to hold out hope Ribery actually wrote it though.

"Waluigi is the ultimate example of the individual shaped by the signifier. Waluigi is a man seen only in mirror images; lost in a hall of mirrors he is a reflection of a reflection of a reflection.

Same thing that always happens.

Somebody asked Raphael Bob-Waksberg that same question on Twitter, and his response was "She's making a joke. In truth, her parents wanted another boy so just named her after the nurse in the hospital."

"Hey, did something exciting just happen? Because people on the app are,

FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR

Scaring the pigeons off the roof of the Department of Death building in Grim Fandango, mostly because you have the opportunity for Manny to yell "Run you pigeons, it's Robert Frost!"

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that war, war never changes.

I hope the shot of the dog next to the power armor means we get to play as a dog wearing power armor. Or, since it's set in Boston, more robots that are programmed to think they are Founding Fathers!
