Who else in eastern MA heard that boom??

Allez cuisine!!

This is so pathetic and disqualifying in so many ways, but here we are.

I’m the wallet inspector, let me inspect your wallet.

Honestly, a giant fight stage in front of a half-torn-down White House is something I'd expect from "Fallout".

Hey everyone, here is my review of #Schmigadoon! #Broadway

Well this is horrible

Really, they need to make one of these for EVERY Trek series. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKlS...

Beware the people who are eager to declare their enemies inhuman and worthy only of torture and death, for in their hearts they imagine your own humanity as entirely contingent on your good behavior, and your life as forfeit if you break their rules.

Now through season 4 of The Expanse. The best thing, easily the best thing in the season, was the look Amos gave [redacted] in the season finale. Easily!

“Do not be afraid,” said Frog. “I will be with you on the sled. It will be a fine, fast ride. Toad, you sit in front. I will sit right behind you.”

For any of my Boston-area followers who like Clover: You have until Thursday evening to get one last meal there. Whole chain is closing for good at the end of the day on the 28th.

Ding ding ding! Fuck the Nazi Oysterboi!

The pope becoming an insightful AI pundit is really a fascinating thing to see. He's not buying the hype, but he's not being a hater either. Magnifica Humanitas is the kind of work that only intellectually serious religions can make. Reactionary Christianity makes human slop, by contrast.

1) What on EARTH?? 2) But...AWESOME! datamath.org/Related/Cent...

+100000000 It completely boggles the mind.

A-fucking-men! It's absolutely not all sweetness and light and lord knows we are facing some significant challenges, but that breed of doomer deserves derisive mocking.

The best defense against nostalgia is reading firsthand accounts from anybody who actually lived in the past.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social while you’re not Catholic I thought you’d appreciate the Tolkien quote the Pope used in his new encyclical. It’s from Gandalf as Aragorn & Co are deciding on marching to the Black Gate to play out the deception of having the Ring and so keep Sauron’s attention off Mordor:

One of the many sources cited in the new papal encyclical is... Gandalf

I never get tired of re-reading that.

THIS. IS A FREAKIN' AWESOME COVER! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfoN...

Punts used to follow the onsides kick rules?!? OMG THAT NEEDS TO COME BACK!!!

Why the fuck on earth would you cite to something in order to buttress a point in your paper without checking that the thing you cited actually buttressed your point?!?

This is awesome!! (All, so many cool things on BBC Archive)

Perfect description. Especially about evangelicals.

That’s an excellent point.

Ok. Now that’s damned evil. www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinte...

“What are you laughing at, Frog?” said Toad. “I am laughing at you, Toad,” said Frog, “because you DO look funny in your bathing suit.” “Of course I do,” said Toad. Then he picked up his clothes and went home.

Ooooooooooo!!

Ooooo baby, yeah!!

"Don't Answer Me" is a pulp comic book. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLvF...

It is cool that we live in a world where you can use sound -- sound! -- to see how the muscle of the inside wall of your heart moves,.

Gotta say, it gives me joy that there is an actual academic journal devoted to the history of academic regalia. But maybe that's just me. newprairiepress.org/burgonsociety/

Well that’s goddamned sad. 😢😡 nrc.canada.ca/en/chu-short...

How a bird feeder turns corvids into recycling pros. [📹 Hans Forsberg] Original post

Proven true over and over.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social As a former professor what do you think of the Harvard faculty voting (458 of the 659 who voted) to cap the number of As that can be given in a class to 20% of enrollment + 4? (Currently 60% of all grades at Harvard are As.)

Huh. Even Harvard faculty have had enough. 458 of the 659 faculty who voted, voted to cap the number of As that can be given in a class to 20% + 4. (Overall at Harvard 60% of grades are As currently).

Reminder:

Amen!

Well that’s fascinating! Starting June 1 people can pay all of $9 to go though a (very!) off-airport actual TSA checkpoint in Framingham, MA and then get bused to Logan and dropped off *air-side*. It’s a pilot program that initially will only be available for Delta and JetBlue flights.

Once again my choice to switch to Kagi is reaffirmed.

Good thing the Bradys never went to Pompeii…

And here from the set of Goldfinger is the story of why James Bond carries a Walther PPK.

Have The Expanse novel writers or TV writers ever gone on record as being "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" fans? Because S3 Eps 9-10 certainly and obviously borrowed stuff from ST:TMP. (I'm only up to S3E11, so no spoilers please.)
