Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms “What’s so hard about pulling a sword out of a stone? The real work’s already been done. You ought to make yourself useful and find the man who put the sword in the stone in the first place, eh?”

Y’all might not appreciate it, but it took him 87 moves and 14 hours to get here

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

billions of dollars and everlasting fame to whoever figures out how to stop webpages from loading new elements just as you’re about to click on something

I just think it’s funny that people are constantly wishcasting “Cameron finally has a box office flop” and it keeps not happening James Cameron will never make a flop, it’s a law of physics at this point, sorry

what, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck

we’ve been over this we just did this in Massachusetts they’re not gonna leave, they’ll whine and bitch and moan and eventually this will raise more money than expected because nowhere they go is actually like the place they’re leaving

SELL IT TO WHO, BEN?? FUCKING PUMAMAN??

time to play everyone’s favorite game, “exhausted or getting sick again”

poor Walton Goggins’ son, having your dad be cooler than you at your own school is the ultimate teen nightmare

there are many horrible brainworms you can catch online but none of them are as all-encompassing in their destruction of you as a human being as transphobia start down that road and you become incapable of normal human interaction

for once at least the clown show prevented any loss of life good job, team, keep it up

DK should be unsuspended and given some sort of humanitarian award for not putting this guy in the hospital

I only use this labeler for showing the block labels but it is absolutely fascinating sometimes you see someone with the 20+ blocks label and it’s like, really, you got mass blocked? you? why?

joining the "cybertruck owners only" group on fb is one of the best decisions i've ever made. every so often when i'm scrolling through fb getting pissed off, i get to see a little treat like this

where’s the profile of the hipster coffee shop stuck in a gerrymandered republican district controlled by country diners

achieving true gym sicko (at the gym at 9 AM the day after Christmas)

The fact the Menswear Guy is actively dunking on the Bsky user base now instead of just cross-posting the threads where he does that to Twitter users should terrify all of us.

sephiroth posting (complimentary)

the shit I care least in the whole world about is whether the story about the Earl of Sandwich is true. yes it fucking was. my man was playing cards and eating meat with his hands and then he said hold up check this out. you won't believe this shit. bring me some fucking bread & hold onto your hats

more lucrative than accusing Liz Warren of nearly fucking a marine to death, I suppose

finally had a chance to watch the pluribus finale and all I can say is I cannot wait for the most stubborn motherfucker alive and the most miserable woman on earth to try to figure it all out next season what a show

nikola jokic isn’t real

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather

love, hate, loudly expressed indifference - James Cameron doesn’t care, he’s got everyone’s money anyway

as a christmas present I believe children should allow their parents one (1) unmolested afternoon nap without fighting or otherwise requiring supervision I would also like a unicorn and a billion dollars, which may be slightly more realistic

Literally one of my favourite Discworld pieces of all time, this quote. Sir Terry was always at his best defining what it means to truly be human, and this was his sharpest go at it

Alastair Reynolds’ Revelation Space books would make incredible sci-fi and we don’t have enough of that, so it gets my vote I’d also like to see more romance adaptations - we’ve seen with Bridgerton and Heated Rivalry that it works onscreen, give me e.g. @courtneymilan.com’s Brothers Sinister books

it’s not just Wemby (though he destroys Holmgren), the Spurs guards are able to disrupt OKC in a way no other team is able to Stephon Castle is the shit, man, the Spurs are way ahead of schedule

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

and to my Jewish friends, a happy go to the movies and eat Chinese food day

the boys are playing with their new pokemon cards (of course) and once again I am amused at the duality of pokemon “here is a giant spiky dragon with unstoppable powers” “here is a dachsund made out of pastries. its name is dachsbun”

the kids made it to 7 AM before waking us up, I’m proud of them merry christmas ya filthy animals

OH, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING IN THE STOCKING THAT MAKES A NOISE, said Death. OTHERWISE, WHAT IS 4:30 A.M. FOR? - Terry Pratchett, Hogfather good night and good luck to every other parent with small children out there

Fine, whatever, this random cat is your new god of the winter solstice

learning mark cuban has spent his christmas eve arguing with randos on bluesky

still my favorite christmas post

I think “there is suddenly very little correlation between economic numbers and economic sentiment” is a bad trend for the long term but I feel at least a level of grim satisfaction at Trump getting a good GDP number and everyone telling him fuck you everything sucks anyway

tired: you should watch Die Hard because it's a Christmas movie wired: you should watch Die Hard because it is a perfect action movie

now watching, with my wife and kids, under some blankets on the couch while it pours outside

if you want me to get the little kid part of me super excited about a battleship, put some bigger guns on it! I demand enormous, preposterous guns half the size of the ship, let’s get ridiculous with it also that part of my brain shouldn’t be in charge of naval procurement

it is the best time of the year (my wife making sugar encrusted pecan season)
