Advent purple for apocalyptic times. Well played Madam Uachtaráin #SpeirGhorm

Does anyone know Where the love of God goes When the waves turn the minutes to hours?

You’ll find fans who’d pick any of ANH, Empire, or R1 as their fav. I love TLJ but I’ll admit it hasn’t aged into many people’s fav. (Some of TLJ’s biggest fans have since pivoted to R1. I think they have understandably mistaken R1 for Andor: The Movie in retrospect.)

Gotham as the bottom seed in the playoffs

One problem with this is it allows teams to bleed the clock. Easily solved by giving teams only a little bit of time – say, 35 seconds or so – to prepare for the next one, along with some time-outs.

Gender is a performance and I’m still working on the producers to hire a second trombone.

Just in time for poppy szn no less

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

What dear old Whystan wrote About the normal heart May be true of the median voter: The interest set in stone, Not social democracy But subsidies of one’s own.

My hometown. Heartbreaking. Respect to the many everyday people lookin out for their neighbors. evanstonroundtable.com/2025/10/31/i...

When I was an undergrad 20+ years ago, I’d guess half or more of my women peers would’ve said “yeah men can be bad but it’s like that sometimes.” Women/enby undergrads I meet today have way less patience with bad men’s behavior. The world hasn’t changed, but they sure have, and fair play.

Just couldn’t get out, out of that damned spot.

And I’ll be back when the day is new

No, no, it’s *tea* and madeleines that makes anamnesis!

The replies here are the only remaining audience for the Jungle Cruise joke about Schweitzer Falls.

Judy felt her spirits lift, just a little.

Londinium Borealis est omnis divisa in partes tres

Anime’s like the ark of the covenant. Blesses everyone normal, fries the brains of Nazis

When they call it the world’s game they mean American financial institutions buy English clubs which acquire European clubs to hoard players from Africa and South America so the English club can secure a place in a Gulf State-run Super League that will inevitably play in America

Heaven have mercy on us all—Presbyterians and Pagans alike—for we are all somehow dreadfully cracked about the head, and sadly need mending

Stretch.

Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. He held the bowl aloft and intoned: “Congress has not authorised the use of military force.”

The Cubs’ rival is the Cardinals. Everything else is propaganda. (The Reds? If we’re not playing them, I wish them well. The Brewers? A fine day out in a smaller lakefront city with good custard. The Sox? The Pope’s team, respect. Get better owners. The Pirates? Same, without the Pope.)

A manager's most important role is as a literary device

Invisible Man (1952)

It’s too bad they won’t live. But then again, who does?

I had to make sesame tofu from scratch on Christmas afternoon to keep the tradition. Totally worth the double-dredging, it was delicious. Shout out to Ryan’s SuperValu in Glanmire for carrying gluten-free hoisin sauce.

i love it when a wikipedia page suddenly gets a lot of attention and a lot of edits

u know this tv wasn’t a christmas present because. the real saint nicholas. would never deliver arianism

Gender is a performance, so the cast party is gonna be 🔥🔥

“Dixie” or, if we’re just going on a personal level, “I Gotta Feeling”

Peter Falk and Leslie Neilson were a year apart in age. Which means that, canonically, Columbo and Frank Drebin were at the Los Angeles Police Academy at the same time. They probably both committed massive civil rights violations at the direction of Chief Parker in the late 40s and early 1950s.

Bande à parte (1964) and several Lynch homages

No more ashes, no more sackcloth And an armband made of black cloth Will someday never more adorn a sleeve May Tom Lehrer’s memory be for a blessing. May we honor it by keeping universal bereavement nothing but a good joke.

riverrun, past Eve and Adam’s

Hippos ooze sunscreen from their pores. Honestly that explains a lot (gift link)

they banned trans women from something being prescribed by doctors as a mental health treatment

This is not what we meant by “no cops at Pride”
