Neurosis just dropped its first album in a decade out of nowhere, and my metal and Magic friends are losing their minds, and its beautiful to see a little joy out there.

"We whacked the hornets' nest, and now the hornets are stinging anyone nearby."

One of the upsides of all of this is getting to read inherently funny terms such as "lickspittle" that rarely come up in normal conversation.

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid.

Something that strikes me almost every time I see someone from this Administration speak is how they managed to assemble so many punchable faces under one banner. Just Olympic levels of backpfeifengesicht as far as the eye can see.

As much as you might dislike Temu Dr. Robotnik, you don't dislike him enough.

Oh baby, put this kind of gag in my veins every time.

I decided to look up Mark Levin because he's been in the news for whatever reason, I admit I do not know anything about the man beyond DJT made a Truth post defending him. Why do so many of these guys Look Like That?

We have always been at war with Eastasia.

It bugs me when people (not Derek Guy here, doing God's work) respond to accounts with 10,000 posts per year seriously. It's a bot or a troll or a content farm or all three, please block and move on.

A Candelabra deck taking things down in the Year of Our Lord 2026. You love to see it.

Post a comic cover you love. This blew me away when I was 12.

How's that dystopian panopticon working out, gang?

This feels relevant to @vagabondvivant.com's interests.

I cannot imagine I have any M:tG loving mutuals who haven't seen this, but just in case, look at how clever this alter is. I don't know how he keeps getting away with it.

I think of all the traits I would want least in any leader, insecurity has to be highly placed on that list.

It's funny to me how this guy talks about increasing the power working class dudes, the very people who would at best find him to be an annoying dweeb.

The least surprising quote: "So far, industrial customers haven’t been affected by water restrictions...Current conservation rules have mainly hit residential users..." Yes, in a water shortage you shouldn't wash your car or fill your pool, but how about making companies join in the work?

It's ridiculous that we are over a week into fighting with Iran, and as near as I can tell, our motivation for attacking them was "We felt like it." And now the LA Times is running stories about sleeper cells and such, because we have to manufacture consent for these amoral dimwits somehow.

People wonder why the Boomers and, sadly, Gen X can have such a different reality. This is why. Lies are pumped into their ears for hours at a time. Yes, they *could* shut it off, but your brain insulates itself from ideas that are different from the ones you already hold after a time.

Anyone who lived any amount of time in the greater NYC area over the last half century could have told you who he is, even the ones who love him for it. He's never hidden it.

I have played enough video games to know there's something worth getting to behind this wall.

Drop something blue.

It's such a conundrum. The problem with the U.S. finally learning its lesson is I live here, and it will hurt all the wrong people. Unless maybe it finally forces us to impose actual consequences on the wealthy and powerful.

We are governed by the cringiest, most embarrassing, Internet brain-rotted dipshits imaginable. I didn't want to believe this was real, but there it is on the WH Twitter page. Some 20-something dork is so pleased with himself right now.

My God, they are somehow replacing Noem with someone who has even fewer working neurons.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." - that infamous commie, General Dwight David Eisenhower.

This dude is so full of shit, I could smell it through my wi-fi. "It's not gambling if our customers are smart" is some pants on head nonsense.

This man either genuinely loves his city and the people in it, or he's the best damn actor I have ever seen.

I am normally of the opinion that the scolds and moralists among us are on the wrong side of most issues, but the anti-gambling people might be onto something. And that is setting aside not being able to go a day without being bombarded by ads for Draft Kings, et. al.

Pixar did a great job making you think for one moment that they were maybe, actually going to go full "Old Yeller" here, just traumatizing an entire generation of kids. And in that vein, "Why are you crying? It's just a kid's movie." The movie:

Gotta get the kids all in on thinking they need things they don't actually need early.

I know I have some moots who are fellow Star Trek enjoyers. Ms. Duane's _Spock's World_ rewired the ST neurons in my brain back in the day.

Saw this in the wild, and it's very funny for a select group of people I know. Tagging @michaelchu7.bsky.social for value.

Happy First Time in Twin Peaks Day to all who celebrate.

The first time I had real wasabi, ground fresh at my table, after tasting it I turned to my wife and said, "I've been lied to my whole life." I guess next time I am somewhere I can get real, fresh mango I will have to try it.

Five authors by whom I've read at least five books: JRR Tolkein Sir Terry Pratchett John Scalzi Christopher Moore Jim Butcher

Leviathans are real, and too many of us don't appreciate that.

A little homage to Spaghetti Westerns during the closing ceremony is a nice touch.

These people are sociopaths.

Well, well, well...

I cannot believe this is a real thing. It's bananas.

This is some clever but freaky shit, and you should read it.

On regular basis lately, I am reminded of one of the truly great Star Trek quotes: “After a time, you may find that ‘having’ is not so pleasing a thing after all as ‘wanting.’ It is not logical, but it is often true.” Loooooootta folks out there surprised at getting what they asked for.

On a much less serious note, one of the things I have enjoyed about the Fallout show is how Norm McLean could have been played as an abject coward, and it instead turned out he has the same core of iron his sister and father do, it was just hidden deeper.

They are already stirring the ratfucking pot, because of course they are. Almost every other politician's "ums" and "uhs," or in the case of the President, three-hour meanderings, get cleaned up in reporting.

This thread got me to thinking about what it will be like one day for my kids/wife to go through (at this point) 40 years of collecting nerd stuff. A bit of it valuable, a lot of it not, and what feelings it will leave them with. A melancholy start to the day.

They are going to wring every penny out of you until you drift to the ground as empty as recently shed snake skin.

The Dutch speedskating team looks like they're about to drop the best New Wave album of 1982.

This person clearly misspelled the word "coolest."
