You Gotta Have HEART!

And after it rains, there's a rainbow, and all of the colors are black/It's not that the colors aren't there...

THREAD!

One of the big reasons the Germans lost the Second World War is that they were the poster child of how NOT to do Human Resources as a nation. Even without the Holocaust, they squandered so much of themselves by overmobilizing and allocating too many good people to bad jobs.

The bloke owes me back pay.

Sharing because this story has bearing on the ongoing theme of gatekeeping and bad conduct among Japanese fandom. In general, it looks like the pro-Imamori camp outnumbers the naysayers/harassers, and she'll find a way to go forward in her career.

Hey Ain't Heavy/He's My Bother...

If I Had A Hammer

The existance of Ostroverts presumes the possibility of Visiverts.

That's a reprinted Proud Boys shirt.

A Side: Ashokan Farewell. B Side: Johnny's Gone A Soldier.

We're supposed to know all this by the end of Sixth Grade.

How "Light" is Light?

And I was one of those nerds.

SOMEBODY ELSE: The prosecutor got beat by a ham sammich. ME: Couldn't cut the mustard.

I was hoping to participate in NaNoWriMo this year...but now I'm wondering if I'll ever get a chance to write a book in the time I have left.

I was in WalMart and in Electronics I stepped by the demo display for the Ring doorbell camera... And in my head, I was hearing Wil Wheaton as Wesley Crusher saying words to the effect of "you might seem scary to Earthlings, but among your own species you're probably considered quite handsome."

And it was my favorite of the time too. It was instrumental in keeping me interested in anime and in expanding my comfort zone when it came to shows to watch.

Is there a House in the Doctor?

I feel like that guy in the left picture is supposed to be ME and it makes me very uncomfortable.

Can YOU run a mile and a half? 2,400 paces? If so, YOU CAN WIN THE WAR AGAINST TYRANNY!

Like a relentless weed, moderate to severe Spotify ads can keep coming back...

FANDOM IS A THING THAT NO ONE PERSON OR CLUB OR GANG IS IN CHARGE OF. (For those in the back dressed STUPIDLY and looking STUPID)

If you outlaw inflatables, only outlaws will inflate. Time to up the pressure till something BLOWS.

New computer starting today. I will not be using it for Workslop because Workslop KILLS Productivity and I WANT TO PRODUCE!

For the Record: I no longer have camo trousers (or at least I think I lost them in the move from Tennessee); I neither own nor bear arms; when I'm at work I wear a badge.

Nine years ago @lucyknisley.bsky.social posted the "Meatball of Anxiety" cartoon...and I still use that idiom today, because these days how can you avoid it?

The t-shirt said "Praise The Lord"; I read it as "Parish The Thought".

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle broke the weekend US box office AND topped Spirited Away in Japan! Special Thanks to @redbardiscool.bsky.social

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Will more people know me when I'm dead and gone than have ever known me as a living breathing person?

Doctor: How on Earth do you hurt yourself in a dream? Me (lying on his examining bench): I was dreaming about my job at the store and a really huge dude reached over me for something and fell on me. I got slammed hard onto the register counter.

There are strange and ominous sounds coming from the woods around WolfsDen. Now, it could just be the nuts and acorns falling out of them and hitting branches on the way down, but sometimes it sounds like a whole tree is ready to fall over.

I just see this as the hill we'll ALL DIE ON. I'm pretty sure I won't live to see 2030.

Two of my mother Jane's books are in the data set. Both of them were originally e-novels.

This happened at the Mets/Yankees game yesterday. No need for me to tell you what happened next.

THIS JUST IN: Chicken and Rice.

Death Race 2000 was the gritty reboot of Speed Racer/Hot Wheels (the 1960s TV series). If I played this game it would be lame.

The other day I got a sort of invite over Facebook for my High School class reunion next year...and one of the first people to respond to the post was one of the guys I used to get into fistfights with on campus. I have no nostalgia for those times.

I'm already cashed. Are you outside?

I swore that oath when I worked for the Census. And I know I'm not alone there.

For my anime friends.

If you don't want the prizes, don't play the game.
