Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

The Chesapeake will never be defeated

I really needed that hour but they stole it

This song feels incredibly relevant today.

I can feel it in my bones, somebody at Silicon Valley pride with an LGBTQAI shirt that will fill me with undeding rage

Hey Bay Area! Have you been outside today? You should try outside! Outside is nice. And tomorrow, outside will be even nicer. Try outside! You will not regret.

Trying to keep the part of me that trained as a pharmacologist from immediately dropping this into our "we should make this an exhibit" slack channel

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

Tag yourself in tonight's #cr4 episode; I'm Talesin smiling gleefully at the heated rivalry sketch

Anyways.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

Leaning in on the hedonism tonight: drinks with a friend, throwing ass at a show, and now taco bell in bed Man I'd forgotten what a will to live was like but hey here it is

Me, waiting for bart after throwing ass for four hours at a concert:

describe your favorite games poorly a list of reasons to call CPS on the worst parents in the world okay so you're god now, but only if you use mods prison break: the monologues and prison break: the monologues 2 (we hired men this time)

The friends I’ve met thru hockey fandom are dear to me. But I am so turned off right now, I just can’t with the NHL. I’ve watched it regress the last decade in real time. I was going to go to a game next week, I just cannot spend money on this right now.

The last time I saw The Strokes they came out and announced they'd caught Bin Laden, and I just got tickets to see them in April so let's see what news they have for us this time

Post old memes to confuse young people

whoops

no history of drag icons is complete without Miss Piggy and Elvira

#alysaliu WOKE IS BACK BABY MAKE OAKLAND CALIFORNIA THE US CAPITOL NOW!

Looks kids, if you love the Expanse as much as I do, you'll love Flight of the Icharon. It's amazing and really scratches that Earth vs. Mars vs. The Vast Black Expanse of Space itch

I can't describe the visceral reaction that I, a certified chaos bisexual™, have every time I learn something new about her

Truly Platonic Pegging.

Blessings to you all 🩷

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

I propose to make universal the old policy of the Blackfriars conference at the American Shakespeare Center: If you do not end your paper on time, you will be forced to exit, pursued by a bear. Literally, a bear will come take your paper from you.

I feel like Homer would have his own drawer in the collection of items removed from people's throats

shoutout to whichever marketing person was like “the Epstein statement must adhere to the brand guidelines”

Ran my second game of ten candles tonight and the last candle died just as some body made a big move to pass off their hope die to the last player. They were so, so close to saving the big crowd of kids!

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Not some god-tier Trekkie at the NIH using Jadzia as the example for the help page about changing the PI in charge of a grant Whoever you are, I hope your pillow is always cool on both sides

wow people really don't want to know how the water ice (metaphorical) sausage gets made

Some good news for anyone depressed about the world right now: the kakapo are getting it onnnnn thespinoff.co.nz/science/13-0...

Cyberbullying works when it's a corporation

Every nerd couple has a warhammer explainer and a warhammer hostage

No Kings includes Draft Kings

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

FAT MAN TOUCHDOWN

it's so funny to put yourself in a position where you have to pretend you like the music of Kid Rock. we know you're lying guys, we can hear him too

Trying to explain to my cat that if he wanted to be in the baby wrap during Bad Bunny, he was coming on a ride while while I danced around

Running up to the roof to catch the smoke cloud from those fireworks was worth it

is that Pedro pascal??????

I’m not actually watching but I cannot stop my self from saying this: They should show the Dumbarton Bridge

Sam Darnold is the first USC quarterback to start a Super Bowl. If, after the game, he attacks a truck driver and gets stabbed, he will be the second USC quarterback to do that.

Out here incoherently grumpy about the America 250 patches

Ran my first game of Ten Candles and got an absolute gift of a brink for Them: I have seen them...remove your personality and leave you as nothing but an empty shell of the person you once were
