Greetings, Shackers! I picked up Monday for Sam this week thanks to him covering for me last week while I was away at a special event (from which I’ll share content with you later this week!), but Tuesday finds me back in my usual spot. After all, it’s been another great day of posting and we’ve got plenty of cool things on the way, but you know all good posting days must come to an end. With that, we’re bringing this day to a close with another Evening Reading. Enjoy!

Bearly surviving
I propose a new method of bear encounter defense
— 🌿MonsterFangs🌿 (@MonsterFangss) January 13, 2025
Bear experts can you weigh in on this?
My thought process is that we get scared when smaller, weaker animals run towards us with confidence and fury
I think the same would go for bears pic.twitter.com/cUCezlu0qp
Bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see how it works out. (Don’t run directly at a full-size grizzly bear)
It’s a Hatsune Miku future…

I hope Milhouse fixed his glasses after falling out of that sewage pipe.
“Top Performers” at Meta
i cant imagine what itd take to be a "top performer" at the depraved & miserable meta corporation. Is it whoever clogs the toilet the most?

Whoever can clog the toilet fastest gets “best boy of the day.” Bonus if you saw homophobic/transphobic/racist content and did nothing about it in Meta’s brave new 2025.
Speaking of internet in 2025
I would like this comic I drew in 2017 to stop being relevant pleeeaaaaase

This comic was made in 2017. Still unfortunately relevant.
Magneto moves
Because Mag ult eats projectiles, it's really easy to protect your team from stuff like this pic.twitter.com/wQ2gOsqNeh

You really can just say “nope” with Magneto when projectile heroes get antsy in Marvel Rivals.
