Using my son’s current interest in pirates to try him on Tom Waits again

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

My favorite thing about the 1960s Batman show is that sometimes the villains would have to go to court. Like The Riddler would show up wearing his Riddler shit talking about "I don't know what you're talking about"

“New Sickos Yes…hahaha…yes” just dropped

You go in the cage. Cage goes in the water. You go in the water. Clown's in the water. Our clown.

Dying at the book he's reading

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

Vertigo (1958)

Don’t know who made this but thank you

A jury of my peers? TWELVE murderers?!

Some of my favorite parts of bigfoot-themed horror movies: -when people talk about how much bigfoot stinks -when bigfoot causes psychic headaches -when bigfoot spies on couples arguing because he loves the drama -when bigfoot carries someone around like a baby

Writer Kris Bertin and artist Alexander Forbes are back with a brand new chapter in the HOBTOWN MYSTERY STORIES saga. We’ve got all the exclusive, juicy details right here.

Funniest/saddest part about Eden Mills scheduling an AI author session is that when I was there last year, the cell/wifi connections were so terrible that all transactions were cash only. But sure, bring us the I, Robot future, bucolic village.

Had a really stupid idea based on another meme I just made and so i had to make this, i am sorry

I love that our generation has this collective trauma and understanding centred around maybe the worst level of any major Mario game.

Comics are good.

I missed Bloomsday, but I’m always delighted when people bring up Joyce’s filthy, filthy fart letters

struggling bc the AI won't be horny for me

Happy Bloomsday, hit a homer for ol' James.

Dick Tracy is 35. The make up artists did a fantastic job on the outlandish Dick Tracy villains.

enter sandman has to be the craziest song about going to bed

Engaging with my 3 year old on any topic is the real parent trap.

Aware of TMNT, my son decided that Mickey is his favourite. Because he’s a party dude? I asked. The boy screamed that he was not a party dude. To prove it, I played him the 80s theme song. Ten plays later, we had to turn it off and leave and he threatened to take me apart and put me in the garbage

If you need a pick-me-up today, allow me to share a clip from the 2000's Fox reality show "Man vs Beast", which at one point featured a monkeybar-hanging competition between an orangutan and a pro gymnast. It's one of the most amazing/stupidest things to ever air on network television.

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?
