Returning Jesus Christ Downed By U.S. Missile Defense 30,000 Feet Before Making Landfall

I’ll post more about this on Monday but yes it’s true, ya girl got to draw the new covers for the relaunch of Animorphs. I am… THE LIZARD KING

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" was published on September 21, 1937.

#Animorphs fans, I'm very happy to share that the first three books in the series are being rereleased next May with brand new covers. 🧊🦎 You can learn more here: thenerddaily.com/animorphs-by... Cover artist: @creepcaptain.bsky.social Book design: Cassy Price and Christopher Stengel at Scholastic

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie. An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough. So finish the thing.

I've been reading THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT slowly, savoring it to keep the stories from blending together. Just got to "Wrong Fucking Place, Wrong Fucking Time" by @crobertcargill.bsky.social, and holy hell, is that a standout. Can this be a movie? I want it to be a movie.

What Charlie Kirk and Jesus have in common is that American Christofascists absolutely hate it when you quote them directly.

Add @margaret.bsky.social to the list. I love, love, love stories about people telling stories, and The Immortal Choir Holds Every Voice absolutely delivers. It's the best of the Danielle Cain series (so far!) and the last few pages even made me cry.

Laptops should be thick enough to have CD/DVD drives.

Got my shot yesterday, so Brainworm Bob will have to pry it from my veins.

The gasp I just let out.

This is a nasty night, lad.

I think I figured out how to get Trump to stop talking about Charlie Kirk forever.

Gavin Newsom should nominate Charlie Kirk for the Nobel Peace Prize. No one was bigger at Peace than Charlie!

Many people are saying that Charlie Kirk is “hotter” than Trump. Move over Donald! MAGA is on the Kirk Train now!

So okay, I am *shocked* that Trump hasn't blown a gasket over the fact that the new Kult of Kirk(tm) has completely overshadowed his MAGA cult. That's how you know he's slipping because he would be mad as hell to be overshadowed by some podcaster barely anyone knew of

Fourth branch of government: the electoral branch, totally independent of the executive, tasked with overseeing elections, setting national standards for voting rights, cracking down on gerrymandering and voter suppression, etc. Takes away both Congress and the president’s power to muck things up.

"Every Friday evening after work, Mr. Burns undergoes a series of medical treatments designed to cheat death for another week."

My mother rescued several monarch caterpillars during a recent cold snap and turned her Burley bike trailer into a makeshift butterfly hatchery. There are four cocoons, and I’m on duty this weekend because she’s traveling and two are likely to hatch.

New releases this week—Mrs Dalloway as Woolf wanted it; late and great (the best?) Barbara Pym; and a work of genius manga from the 80s, Miss Ruki.

Three Batman vs. Joker movie pitches: 1. A light, campy Batman (somewhere between Adam West and Schumacher, or just an MCU-inspired version) vs. a dark, ultra-violent Nolanesque Joker. (Although you could argue that The Dark Knight already fits the bill), kind of)

If Pope Leo has not canonized Charlie Kirk by April 20th we will prosecute. by Pam Bondi

If I had been inclined to post anything in the last two days, I would've said that Kirk would be forgotten in a month. I guess I was being generous.

I must say Americans dream up such awful horrors.

Great (chilly) day for one last APT show! Seeing Fallen Angels by Noël Coward.

Microplastics Georg is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

That look your dog gives when she loves her sweet potato treats but develops liver troubles and can’t eat high-copper foods like sweet potatoes anymore.

And also, there should be an expedited process where if you can throw a ball at a dunk tank and drop an ICE agent into an open sewage pit, you automatically become a citizen.

Anyway speaking of literature. I saw a big discussion about "we have to rec new books to get into kids into sci-fi" and I Get It but also I want to remind everyone that HG Wells is like, super accessible. I read both The Time Machine and War of the Worlds as a young child and LOVED THEM

Done

By water to White Hall to my Lord’s lodgings, where he being to go to Hinchingbroke tomorrow morning, I staid and fiddled with Will. Howe some new tunes very pleasant, and then my Lord came in and had much kind talk with him, and then to bed with Mr. Moore there alone.

There was a Doctor Who episode where something happened because everyone on earth manifested it. Turns out the show is fictional. Damn.

I am utterly completely and for ever Fed UP with the country.
