As a general rule I don’t dream, so imagine my surprise waking up in the middle of the night after having a very lucid dream about how much I think the Xenomorphs from the Alien franchise are total horseshit and they get worse every film.

I hate feeling sick I HATE missing work because I'm sick If I'm going to be stuck feeling terrible I'm going to be laughing the whole time Thanks, @kinkymation.bsky.social for the chuckles and CURSED baked goods! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAcl...

Something I think I may need to be explicit about in regards to my politics is that "yes, we're in a shitty system where you are being oppressed, but you can still make poor choices within this system if you're not aware of how anything works. So learn as much as you can to fight back"

Last day of school. A student handed me a card that said "Thanks for making science not boring." That's going in the drawer with all the other notes I reread whenever I wonder if any of this matters. It matters. #LastDayOfSchool #TeacherLife #Grateful

*Leaving work feeling like a rock star because I got That Damn Thing working and finished BEFORE LAST MINUTE when everyone else was ready to Panic Mode It is also Payday*

Found out today two of my coworkers, whom I otherwise get along with and respect, aren’t just True Blue Conservatives but Maple MAGA. It makes me sad.

@sayladarkmode.bsky.social That girl you like is coming to town in the fall. Thought you'd want to know.

I haven't played this game in maybe a year or more, but these goofy goobers are a BIG reason I played in the first place. If anything they've gotten goofier, and I wouldn't have it any other way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNfm...

Finally saw the Gameoverse pilot, suddenly all the racy Kit fanart out there already makes sense.

I don't think I've even heard the original... Irrelevant: song is a banger, electric toothbrushes make awesome "singers" www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYho...

TODAY IS MAY 20th! TODAY WE REMEMBER TUKAYYID! Today (coincidentally as it turns out) is the day we pay our phone bills and remember why it's a GOOD IDEA to do so! "Redde Creditori Tuo, Fuckos" and all that! #battletech www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qffo...

If Google can't take me to the websites I want to find, then what's the point? What purpose does it serve?

youtube.com/watch?v=mAxC... I have developed some rather strong opinions about this film, gonna give it another watch and decide if I’m right or if I’ll change my mind. Either way, nice to have it available on demand via the Tubes. #gundam

OMG it's happening, now I just need Hamilcar 🤞 www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

Just ran across this clip from the new Gundam Hathaway film, and out of context it reads SO MUCH like a cutscene from Ace Combat. For some folks that's going to be a huge draw. I'm oddly ambivalent, no real interest in the films at the moment, even as a UC fan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ad8...

youtube.com/watch?v=WzEu... I want to boost the hell out of this because it’s rare enough for good stop-motion animation to come out, much less as a student film. #animation #film

youtube.com/watch?v=UJa0... Cooperative ownership and fair prices? Quality assurance from pride and market pressures? Everyone making a decent living on it? Can’t think of a better example of local Market Socialism done right than this.

The finale in a single (composite) image: Char saying 'goodbye', Amuro being welcomed back. After their paths collide one last time, they go their separate ways never to meet again*... * (Technically. Amuro meets Casval at least once more as "Quattro" & CCA "Char" will always be a fake to me.)

As much as I like Harry’s Razors as a product, I cannot recommend ordering from their website outside of the USA if you have availability on local shelves. My order was scheduled to arrive yesterday and not only has not, but order tracking says it still hasn’t left New Jersey. I blame DHL

Oh! Look who arrived! This is Fish, from @crownedsaeraphim.bsky.social, already getting comfy and listening to smooth tunes.

Okay, seriously: if you need a picture done of your little scrungo but having their hair *just so* is important, Sae’s your lady. Nobody does scrungly hair like Sae.

Experimental archeology at its most fun (flammable)! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c6L...

My reckless experiment to find out which of my two RAM cards is faulty by just pulling one of them and seeing if my PC keeps crashing seems to be working. Yay, 8MB of RAM... please, PLEASE don't fail before prices return to sane numbers! I don't want to pay more than a new graphics card!

Me, putting a new pair of slippers on: Oh no, oh dear. Oh my These are *terribly* comfy! Whatever shall I do with these?

So... I have witnessed the contents of the Armageddon box set and if there's anything that gets me back into Warhammer this might be it. Can't afford it right now but as THE starter box for this edition it should stay in stock for what, at least six months before the next edition drops?

I keep seeing 'is 3d printing miniatures worth it?' videos crop up in my YT feed so I did some quick math: I'd need to print well over 100 minis instead of buying at market price to recoup the expense of even a basic setup I don't think there are 100 minis I'd want to print if I could! Not worth it

BRUH 50-50 chance to see your tenth birthday for ALL of human history, then the 20th century figures a couple of things out and now it's a shocking tragedy if your kid isn't *guaranteed* that birthday. Small wonder we hit peak growth in the 60s!

It should surprise absolutely nobody that the colours of @ironlily.bsky.social ‘s Ordo Mediare translate perfectly to #battletech heraldry For example, here’s the Lady Lucerne in a BL-6-KNT Black Knight “Potentia et auxilium in libra aequitatis” (Strength & Aid, equal upon the scales)

I love this essay very much!!!!

I discovered a YouTube channel where two old dudes who love action films react to films and watching them *fall in love* with The Lord of the Rings having never been interested in fantasy before is a joyful experience. "Dude, I think I love fantasy!" - old rocker guy after only half of Fellowship

i had the best time making these silly little pelicans this weekend 🤩 i present: ✨The Pelifont✨

I think this is the basis of at least two stories in “Shrapnel”, but could be wrong. The ‘everyone is past their prime/disgraced’ angle is a good one though. #battletech

Don't you forget about me (something related to this is coming for N&J 9th year anniversary soon)

youtube.com/watch?v=0YQ_... On a lark I rolled up a character with Brett’s (first version) HARDCORE rules… and got a better PC than I usually get! Those d6s were on FIRE! Not going to say no to a wizard with a 15 in STR!

Woke up this morning thinking about how Gundam Unicorn would have been vastly approved if they just didn't have Benny and put Mineva in the Gundam instead.

Always odd seeing folks assume federal governments are the ones setting prices at the pumps Sure, they can add/remove surcharges but the base price is set by the corporation who owns the gas Unless the fuel is owned by the govt, stop asking the govt to lower prices

There is a particular annoyance to finding a nice dice set (d4 through d20) but there’s only a single d6. 😤 *especially* when there aren’t matching loose d6’s available. #ttrpg #justnerdthings

A student who has been quietly struggling came in early today, worked through four practice problems, and said 'I think I actually get it now.' That's the whole job right there. #TeacherWins #Education #ProudTeacher

To "wake up" you have to have "been asleep" first. Yeah, I called in sick today. I hate being sick. Pepto-Bismol is not a flavour you should "get tired of".

Every so often, this masterpiece turns back up on my Yubtub feed and I always watch it again because it's just that special. Enjoy! #stopmotion #animation #samurai www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpef...

Just a bunch of re-enactors (but trained fighters) having a little fun fight in the snow and making a youtube video... and it looks better and more historically accurate than many big budget films & tv shows! Also Landsknechts looking splendid as always: youtu.be/VinzfRbdtbg?...

“Trickle Down” is a fancy way of saying “ get pissed on”. Bush Sr. Was right back in 1979 when he called it “Voodoo Economics”.

Guy on YouTube writes a multi-paragraph dissertation contesting my “I prefer A over B” single sentence. The funniest part is what got him so mad is something I didn’t even say. A genuine “oh, so you hate pancakes then” moment. 🤣🙃
