At midnight today, it will have been 2016 for the past decade.

"He flung himself from the room, flung himself upon his horse & rode madly off in all directions." "You just jot down ideas as they occur to you. The jotting is simplicity itself - it is the occurring which is difficult." Stephen Leacock, Canada's Mark Twain

Terrible, always a total magnet. His story about getting cast in Goodfellas, basically his first movie, is so charming www.avclub.com/isiah-whitlo...

Spouse and I are discussing the children’s plans for NYE (to stay up or not to stay up, mainly) 13yo: “I think I’m just gonna… process the new year on my own time, perhaps?”

This! This right here is why diverse media matters!! bsky.app/profile/rivk...

This is absolutely hilarious and I completely love how earnestly they are imagining the logistics of being a gay hockey player

This photo is dedicated to the blessed memory of the inventor of electric blankets

I had a dream about a musical called "Faculty Meeting" and weirdly it was good? The first number is about someone objecting to approving the minutes without unanimous consent but not offering a correction. This is how we meet The Parliamentarian, our narrator.

went to the austin kinokuniya and the store manager sure is Going Through Some Shit. also man bro should not be running a bookstore bro should become an artist

Looked at Heated Rivalry fanart on my phone and my mom leans over to ask who these people are. I am not emotionally prepared to explain any of this with her.

Real "oh my god, she admit it" moment here. Trump is treated as an uninteresting figure without agency so we can dump endless criticism on liberals for how they react to his "natural disaster." He "doesn't participate in moral frameworks" lmfao

How I'm walking out of 2025

On one hand, lol. On the other, let a boy dream.

I've waited 3 years to make this post

[cherrypicking scenes to define genre the way people do with Ghibli movies] The Godfather is "cozy."

biggest technological revolution of our lifetimes and it's not AI or blockchain or cryptocurrency or metaverse.

Oh hey, I'm actually ready to do this now lol

This is gonna be a problem. Share this so everyone knows to make sure their ballots get counted. www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Semiotic paradox alert!

Well Fiasco am ALSO on Chrismus blanket so now everybody haves to say "OH ISN'T HIM HAMSOME" instead of horrible babby, right

I'm sorry to be pedantic here, but as holder of a doctorate in Massachusetts studies (unaccredited) I am forced to point out that we already have that in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist.

I used to manage wine programs for movie theaters and I am in the extremely unique position to say with professional certainty that the answer here is a crisp Albariño.

Here are all the 2026 ThotBot Implantation Center dates. All tickets on sale now. December was soooo slow but I can see folks are starting to scoop up those Deep Dark Days tickets. Plan your escape from cabin fever now. btt.boldtypetickets.com/162808486/TBIC

Oh my god.

TFW the incoming mayor of your city looks directly at the camera and says “I am exactly the same kind of nerd as you.” Honestly at this point I’m sorta desperate for him to do his first extremely disappointing thing, just to restore a sense of normality.

my new app Frodo uses cutting-edge technology to identify anybody who wants to destroy democracy then it sends a wee man to shank them

Internet killed the video star 😔

Studies have found that wolves in the Midwest and Canada not only keep deer populations in check, but they also alter deer behavior in ways that help prevent car crashes and save human lives. wapo.st/4peEOoI (gift). Lots of pictures and videos in article; a few include dead deer. 🌎

I have officially launched TrueRef's new timed gesture tool (Flow) & free pose library (Pose)! Both are linked on trueref.io. While limited right now, both will contain our full free library by the 1st. 🤍 Flow: community.trueref.io/trueref_gest... Pose: community.trueref.io/free_referen...

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

Here’s to 2026

DID U KNOW: his name is James "Bond" because of that one time he superglued his own dick to his gun

RIP to Sir Gawain caught between impossible expectations and unbearable horniness but I'm different

They gave Balatro an 18+ only rating because it had poker cards in it. Disney Solitaire has literal actual real money gambling with dark pattern lootbox microtransactions and is for ages 3 and above.

It’s a white guy who has never read anything in the genre absolutely outraged nobody comes up to the booth he set up in the corner of the book fair to sell his self published fantasy book “the nipples of grimdark” for 30 dollars per signed copy

DEVIL: You shall stay forever young, but this picture of you will bear the marks of your sin! DORIAN: Can I hide it? DEVIL: Well, yes, but— DORIAN: And there are no other consequences? DEVIL: This… This picture will become so foul! DORIAN: Again, probably I’ll hide the picture.

I'd believe this anecdote because I've met guys like this at conventions. People do ask (politely) about their work and they can't pitch it because what makes it special is that they are the specialest boy. They go to panels and hear queer and BIPOC writers talk about their work and think "ah ha". +

Listening to Saul on Volts comparing AUS vs US rooftop solar was painfully familiar. In AUS he got 5 quotes in 2 days + permit/interconnect in ~24h; here we’re DIY’ing our roof (with help from Bluesky friends like @commercialsolarguy.com) and permit review loop is the biggest bottleneck

These articles are informative, but fail to mention how tariff wars in the FIRST admin set things up for this disaster. Lakes of unsold whiskey sitting in warehouses in Europe and UK before 2021. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Honestly? Congratulations, your hardware *and* software are both working incredibly well and responding nearly instantly. All QA testing is a kick in the balls. (Tellingly, many people’s reaction to this is schadenfreude about AI, though this robotics demo likely has little to do with LLMs.)

Everybody in the clud be clumpin

can’t wait for the stock market to finally merge with sports betting so that we can see the ultimate evolution, apple’s hockey team going up against nvidia’s hockey team, except the team captains are in a secret romance that brings down all of capitalism
