He reads the silly post He reads the scoldy post He reads the jokey post And the pedantic post He reads the posts that remind him of the bad site He reads the posts that remind him of the worst site Don’t screenshot that, troll behavior

Just a reminder for no reason, one previous US President had a raccoon in the White House, two had possums, but three had alligators! Many had dogs, cats, donkeys and goats and many other adorables. Our current president has only weird sons and occasionally melania.

American Slothic. Not even sorry. #art #AmericanGothic #sloths

I hate this timeline.

we all know I have no life, so:

So, 9 years ago in Japan we were in Beppu and got to see the Oita castle in Kyushu. The castle is gone but the city awesomely reconstructed a virtual one in neon. It was amazing and we saw it unlit and from our hotel lit up. Japan is amazing!

A shocking new poll result: Many Americans somehow don't have a favorite dinosaur. And only 6% give the correct answer (triceratops). Check out YouGov's new polling on Americans and dinosaurs: yougovamerica.substack.com/p/whats-your...

Irasutoya, Japan's popular free clip art library, has released its latest creation in honor of the United States President, Donald Trump. It's a clever play on TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) and the Japanese word タコ for octopus, which also means "idiot."

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. I know trans people and I know fascists who are making life difficult for trans people. The trans people are pretty cool and I'm glad I know them. The fascists can go fall down a deep dark hole.

Jesus, they weren’t bloody joking.

128th anniversary today of this rather important story appearing in the Lawrence Daily Journal, Kansas

Crawfish season in Texas this year is adorable!

Taxonomy nerds rock!

Really missing Japan, specially Beppu right now.

Is The Tetris Company going to celebrate what should be "Tetris Month"? In February 2026, the four weeks are lined up perfectly as four lines - which is exactly what a Tetris is! The last time this happened was in 2015, and the next two times will be in 2037 and 2043. #Tetris

Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.

It frustrates me no end that you need to have a basic understanding of how internet addresses work to know this message I just received is a scam… and my family with one exception won’t know this.

BREAKING: disney set to announce shocking $65bn deal to acquire the catholic church. "we are so excited to fold the jesus christ extended universe into our diverse and lucrative intellectual property portfolio, and we look forward to giving people even more of the stories they love than ever before"

Just fyi, I am mostly silent now because I’m job hunting and need a job for medications for my wife which I can’t get with opinions. I absolutely have opinions but the U.S. healthcare system would mean my wife may die without healthcare supplied by an employer. US passive pressure is fun.

Remembering better Jan 9ths.

Looking at my “2025” list of pics is mostly squirrels and birbs. I’m not upset at this.

Once again we’re following the southern U.S. tradition for the new years quick meal of black eyed peas (for luck), greens (for wealth), garlic (to stop vampires), and bacon on (for more bacon). Hoping this year it serves us well (I mean it’s really tasty so that’s a start).

I have made my lucky lemon pig for the new year. All will be well now in 2026. #lemonpig2025

WHY ARE TEXANS SETTING OFF FIREWORKS TO CELEBRATE FAKE JESUS BIRTHDAY?!

Inevitably having an awkward Christmas time

This has been an unpleasant week and today is officially my last day of work (company restructuring is such fun). My cat celebrated by throwing up under my desk right where my feet go which is delightful! There is no point searching for work before Xmas as no one is hiring so I’m chilling for now.

FYI, I’ve just been laid off (nothing I did, company restructuring is fun) so I’m not in the best headspace right now. Things are not dire but I have some mild panic working through my everything. Ive been through this before and I can fall back on freelancing but it’s not fun and I’m older now.

Finally got around to watching Mickey 17 (it’s been on my list for a while). Fantastically insane movie and I loved it to death. Totally weird but believable premise and great pacing. Also Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette were so fantastically and hilariously out of their comfort zones. 9/10!

The final Season's Beatings card:

i wish neil armstrong had brutally flubbed the moon landing line. that's one small step for moon. one small step ON moon. for a man. one giant man.. 's leap. one GIANT LEAP for moonkind. moon man. one giant moon for manmind. you can hear buzz rollin around in the lander, just howling

YouTube algorithm is reading me poorly. I was just served ads for unwanted pregnancies, a camp for troublesome teenagers, and an over 55 retirement village (I mean fair on that one).

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

You win the profanity-off. I concede.

Ok. Genuinely surprised by this.

@profanity.accountant ok then. Account me. I’m curious now.

We are not turkeying for thanksgiving because honestly it’s not great (the turkey and event). Instead I’ve thrown a brisket in the instant pot with pickling spices to make a tasty tasty corned beef and cabbage for which we will be exceedingly thankful for when it’s done in several hours.

Yay! Arriving at an airport an hour before it opens because rules say we need to be two hours before an international flight and we stupidly forgot to check the airport opening times. What fun!
