once again thinking about playing Bolt Action or something similar I figure I want to play Germans, because if I win I win, if I lose the Germans lose, and I know without question the German player isn't a neo-Nazi.

I haven't read many of the Sharpe series, I gave up after All the Weyrs of Sharpe and never got to Dieu-Empereur des Sharpes

don't tell allies to fuck themselves, especially if they're allies you consider actual friends, who've just stomped hard on real sore nerves.

gettin' into Rite of Spring by stomping hard on the floor during Procession of the Sage and not immediately rushing to listen to Glorification of the Chosen One, aka The Best Part with the Allosaurus

fine it's Til Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche time again

Artemis II stuff got me to how I've never actually listened to *all* of Also Sprach Zarathustra, and holy shit, this is great, I wish I thought of this last night when I was stoned, how have I missed this for literally decades?

do we have to do the "there is no WHITE race" discussion again? There are no white festivals where I can get a scotch egg and a plastic cup of ouzo, and chill out listening to hardinger fiddle.

oh, is Bluesky broken this morning because someone used THE WAY OF THE FUTURE to use up a lot of water and give some Black people respiratory issues?

YouTube Shorts are horribly addictive and frequently not really useful or inspirational, but I find it hard to pull myself away from them, and as an old, what's REALLY wild is that given how easy it is to pull away from shorts, I'm apparently way more interested in 40K than Star Wars.

for people completely unable to provide education, food, health care, roads, and cheap interstate rail, y'all are sure GREAT at coming up with new and different varieties of security theater

youtu.be/My0QTXCw3cA I'll stay away 'cause after all everyone deserves a crown of light

home, home again I like to be here when I can when I come home cold and tired it's good to warm my bones beside the fire far away across the fields the tolling of the iron bells calls the faithful to their knees to hear the softly spoken magic spells

dude, it's All Them Witches covering my favorite Pink Floyd song (because I think it's about LotR) youtu.be/TV7jHziIC8A

yeah but I don't want to *hate* anyone, it doesn't make more or better drawings. Surviving childhood is of limited utility if you're in a world more expansive than your childhood. Which it is, it's just believing I'm back there sets all the old coping mechanisms, and it becomes recursive real quick

I dunno, trying to make myself apply for jobs *and* do dietary restrictions while all this is going on feels a bit much, what if I hung out by Green Lake and gave up on one or both for a day.

up in the middle of the night with a bad case of the angry negative opinions

can sing Ghazkull Thraka in place of "my Sharona" but sadly cannot make the rest of the song more orky even with improvising percussion

Indiana Jones and the Crusade

#USpol #subpost I honestly *don't* think Trump has a big plan to provoke an attack or coup, any more than I think he has a plan for a post-Islamic-theocracy Iran. I think this is all basically a set up for insider trading which not only keeps him popular with conservative voters and which

waaait mind blown any truck with truck nuts is by definition trans masc and therefore an appropriate vehicle to look for awesome bugs and fungus

So I messed up keeping kosher for Passover again BUT, like the first time 1) it wasn't something really obvious like 2) giving up completely and heading towards grilled pork banh mi. And I figure if I make a mistake that easily I really need to eat something. I'll keep trying for the time being.

Huh. Just got an answer to a family question I didn’t know I had.

As usual when I’m here I want to go home and get very stoned. Hontogiri, y’know?

Walking earlier today.

this box of matzoh bears the tagline “The World’s Original Ancient Cracker,” and here I thought that was my high school’s principal

“What is Zen?” but this is just a batch of empty pages! … see also “the mind of cats” etc etc

“To serve man.” “No wait stop! It’s actually…” “It’s actually a cookbook?” “No worse, it’s about playing tennis!”

Die Republikaner haben KEIN Naziproblem, ob sie Nazis immer waren, dann hätten sie nie Probleme! #subpost

#drawings last night, trying for lighter pencils to set up inking. #bskyart

Circumstances have changed, and Im trying to raise 6000 USD. I have an ongoing 20% off sale in my shop and a ko-fi. I currently have emergency commissions up on ko-fi I know times are tough for everyone, so all I can ask for is shares. ko-fi.com/megglesart www.etsy.com/shop/Meggles...

I need a Vegematic™️ I need a Pocket Fisherman™️ I need a handy appliance that'll scramble an egg while it's still inside its shell!

believe it or not I'm completely sober and thinking I could listen to the Blue Danube Waltz while lying back in my office chair, legs and arms in the air, to celebrate the Artemis II mission

I *really* like this group. They've got a good "what if I smoked a huge bowl and spent what felt like the next six hours looking at the Fiend Folio?" energy youtu.be/iWKmiTwjjHA

Seriously I don’t get “I know this writer has decided her schtick is going after a tiny disenfranchised harmless minority, but her work inspired really beautiful movies that were vital in my childhood, including masterful actors no longer with us. So let’s watch a NEW show made from the SAME books!”

The late great Bob Hoskins was a pretty close physical fit for how Dashiel Hammett’s Continental Op character was supposed to look Which means “who framed Roger rabbit?“ Is the closest we will ever get to a movie adaptation of “red harvest“

Now that I’ve had more sleep the sadness and worry have given way to anger I can’t do anything about, so here’s last night’s #drawings #bskyart

Okay, That Dude Who Does Ska Covers doing a non-ska cover of classic ska is definitely one of the best April Fool's jokes I've ever run into youtu.be/YqlJTamqlYM

I wish all of us had a tiny fraction of that asshole's money, can you imagine how hugely better off we'd all be? And he'd still be richer than my entire family throughout history.

My big dream was that at some point, if I get my parents' house, I can offer temporary crash space to people. I now realize that I have exactly no clue how that'd work in reality - any shared household means chores and fridge space and arguing about that is about the opposite of trying to be kind,

#subpost uh, quite outside of how gross it is to make people work right next to where their coworker's just been murdered, I don't think that's a good way to run a crime scene.

tired: dogpiled wired: dogpilled

#RecycledJoke "It's my favorite cover band, Crystal Shit." "Wow." "They do a Doors show, in fact it sounds something like this;" youtu.be/QEaodmeOtuo

youtu.be/vwKSN8pSq8g not only can I sing all the lyrics, not only can I sing most of the actual songs, but I also mostly remember what parts of Fooly Cooly they used for the AMV for this one

and we say we're in love with all of it and we say we're in love with everything and we say, what can we say? and we say we're in love with all of it and we say we're in love with everything and we lie. Love to lie. * runs off towards Powell's City of Books *

Between the kids, the guys having a nonstop conversation, and the sniffling dude making me paranoid about catching a cold or worse, tonight sorta suggests it’s a good time to get sound dampening headphones of some sort.

My big movies-as-tabletop games theory is that whatever game system Aliens uses requires all power armor troops to be commissioned officers - which means you can have a whole unit start out with low stats and experience, and power armor. But then only Gorman's player spent points to be an officer.

this in turn reminded me to check the remaining radish cake I was hoping to fry up, and it's got corn starch, so *that's* out.
