Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 18, 2021

Yeah I really enjoyed reading Pastel Unicorns Irony Forever too.

If I ever have to explain a computer to someone from, say, colonial times, I’d start by listing a few examples they would know of X-ing machines. Then I would summarize a computer as a “thinking machine”.

Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.

“One dream, one soul, one prize, one goal. One golden glance of what should be.” ~Freddie Mercury

Another upside for a unicorn: No need to keep saying, “Alexa!”

The only magic is in our minds.

“Do you believe in magic?” The Lovin’ Spoonful song!

You’re not alone Phoebe. Rain on your wedding day is not ironic, it’s just unfortunate.

Ric Ocasek knew all about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0Kv6vxZwL8&ab_channel=RHINO

It’s a bit like rain on your wedding day.

The only reazon magic and science are considered different things is becauze one of them is real and one isn’t. If magic were real, it would be a branch of science and people would get grants from serious universities to study the long-term effects of luck potions or some shìt.

Magic is the mystical experience that happens whenever I climb onto my horse.

Oh, ho, ho, it’s magic, you know Never believe it’s not so It’s magic, you know Never believe it’s not so

Is the song about irony bad because its about a bunch of stuff that isn’t actually ironic, or is it ironic because the song about irony only has one example of irony?

I can see why unicorns normally don’t interact with humans as regularly as Marigold does with Phoebe then—they pride themselves on their uniqueness to a fault, so any situation where that uniqueness would start to seem mundane instead is, of course, preferred to be avoided.

Ignorance is bliss.

Irony is when you take that hot metal thingy and run it over the washing on this flat boardy thing. – Biden.

Irony – the expression of one’s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

It’s a kind of magic…

“Irony Is Magic” sounds like an FIM spoof.

“The use of words expressing something other than their literal intention. Now that is irony.” – Bender

iron is magnetic

“My Little Pony: Irony is Magic”?

Personally, I don’t think understanding something necessarily makes it any less magical. I don’t like rainbows any less because I know they’re the result of light being refracted by water droplets. If anything, I think the idea that something so simple can create something beautiful and impressive is really magic!
