is the gingerbread gamecube my magnum opus?

RED ALERT The House Energy & Commerce committee is moving full steam ahead for several age verification bills including KOSA this Thursday We need to spread mass opposition now. We cannot allow this to pass. We have to drive mass calls into congress NOW Call 202-224-3121 www.badinternetbills.com

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

(2017) Well? What are you waiting for! #art #pokemon #pokemonart #donphan

Those weird church musicals that would use the Avengers and Disney characters to tell the story of Jesus' death and resurrection, do at least have the utility of giving me an easy way to explain to students what a "passion play" is (when explaining Bach's St. Matthew Passion)

a real tell in all of this is that the trans instructor wasn't alone in trashing this essay! a whole other person also said they agreed completely that it sucked. but as far as i can tell only the trans person is getting punished. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/e...

"God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman" has always been my favorite of the first group. Haven't thought about the latter, and I'm divided between several but let's go with "Silver Bells." As a city mouse, always loved its celebration of urban holidays when so many other Xmas songs are about the countryside

for those not familiar with academic ranks, this means this class was a lower level one being taught by a graduate (likely PhD) student as part of their own financial aid package. At a state school like this they’d get their tuition paid & a stipend that usually works out to less than minimum wage

The entire multiple Eisner award-winning SHOWA: A HISTORY OF JAPAN series by Shigeru Mizuki is part of this sale. I GUARENTEE someone you know would love to have that.

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...

Wow this one is MEAN to April babies

Took off my nerd hat and put on my jock hat, only to discover they were the same hat

"Proof that magical girls (fighting girls?) existed in the Muromachi Era"

We’re further away from The Rolling Stones recording “Sympathy for the Devil” than they were from the murders of the Romanovs when they recorded it

You see how many of these politicians CARRIED in their election races WITHOUT throwing trans people under the bus? Exactly, exactly.

THREE seats were flipped in Mississippi: www.mississippifreepress.org/mississippi-...

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

BREAKING: Democrat Johnny DuPree has flipped a Republican-held Mississippi Senate district in a special election. DuPree was previously the mayor of Hattiesburg. His win imperils the Mississippi Senate GOP's narrow supermajority. www.mississippifreepress.org/democrat-joh...

just wanted to re-post this messaging that helped win an election

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Republicans are even losing state Senate seats in Mississippi.

roses are red big laughs are hearty

As Bluesky's general functionality continues to improve, there are times you may find it difficult to search for the content you need. So as a public service announcement here's the video clip you are trying to find to post when discussing the death of Dick Cheney today apnews.com/article/dick...

If you canceled Disney+ because of Kimmel or boycotted Target or whatever, also please vote in your local elections, where you can make direct, clear change in your community.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

I can’t emphasize enough right now that the millionaires tax in Massachusetts has allowed public schools to provide free lunch and breakfast for all students. We can take their money and do good things with it!

Rooting for Toronto but I have to say that Yamamoto is a great name for a pitcher #WorldSeries #baseball #野球

The button…. (Taken at Square Books, great place to stop into should you find yourself in Oxford Town!)

October 30th - the day that gives me away on every “what type of American English do you speak?” quiz. Happy Devil’s Night!

the Bajoran version of the Bechdel test is “do two named women talk to each other about something other than murder” and I love “Deep Space Nine” because it fails almost every episode

Help Brady out! A lot here that would interest people who are into anime soundtracks, and anime and video games in general

Okay this one is actually good.

“Two houses, both alike in dignity…”

My favourite Robert Redford story is the one about why he got rejected for the lead role in The Graduate. RIP to a real one.

Okay, I'd kind of be curious what kind of garbled nonsense AI comes up with in attempting to summarize this book

"L'homme armé" has to be one of the catchiest melodies ever written and even one hearing of it gets it stuck in my head for a week - but didn't expect it to come from a video game (Pentiment) this time (a GREAT game that desperately needs an early music studies / ludo combo person to study it)

tomorrow 🖤

So my amazing wife's birthday is today; while we're going out to celebrate, now is a good time to check out her writing and her videos if you haven't already! www.patreon.com/c/thegreatam... www.youtube.com/@thereluctan...

For *no particular reason*, y’all should know that the Texas Democratic Party has one of the best state party online stores. Check out the smoking cactus in sunglasses! store.txdemocrats.org

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

David Byrne came to my band’s show at a gay bar in Bed-Stuy and sang This Must Be The Place with us and I still haven’t processed it

Just realized I haven’t seen anyone post the Tom Lehrer-2 Chainz letter yet today.

Anime is a force in Western sports, from MLB, NBA, and pro wrestling integrations to athletes drawing inspiration from iconic series. What was once niche fandom is now shaping stadium events, merch, and player identities. www.cartoonbrew.com/anime/anime-...
