Huh. The newest Punisher thing was...fine. It had a couple moments, but most notable was that they apparently chose to upload it without audible dialogue.

In my attempts to provide Fun Game Flavor, the psychic attacks got a description. -You take 8 damage and suddenly are thinking about swallowing. Are you doing it enough? -You can hear your hair growing. It’s all around you. -The scent of your nose hair is distracting. bsky.app/profile/tang...

What's the biggest low stakes regret in your life, I'll go first: It's not playing with the rough green snake when I had the chance. I've never seen it again and it would have been so fucking cool

Reminder to all white people with outdoor jobs and hobbies that sunscreen season actually starts this month

No, *you're* too excited to go back to Scotland

me, buying a book written by someone who I've never met but we sometimes like each other's posts on Bluesky: my friend wrote this

I had a patron recently whose prof didn't give her a citation style but asked for classes to be cited. I recommended Chicago style, names if you have them etc and she came back a couple minutes later to show me in awe that I was right, chat gpt said the same thing!

Reading my advance copy of The Emergency Playbook, and seriously, preorder this, fam. You can't get it soon enough, and everyone should own a PHYSICAL copy.

Petition for everyone who mocks romance and everyone who yucks at the Bad Sex Award to have to write and share a serious sex scene first, so they can show us all how easy it is.

This is wild: Yomiuri News reports that due to the Iran War, Japan is facing a critical shortage in naphtha, a key material in making potato chip bags, and printing ink. As a result, the snack giant Calbee has announced that they are adopt black-and-white packaging for most key products 🫠 🫠 🫠

Please imagine me snug in bed, brain idling, and then my eyes shooting open with the realization that one of the most important battles in Scottish history could be translated as the battle of Biscuit Creek

unfortunately, Mr. Cumberbatch, we have already given the award for Cuntiest Scenery-Chewing In a Guest Role to Lee Pace, but we want you to know this in no way reflects upon the quality of your application

The thing is, I really miss my mom. I wish she was safe and reliable and even just not harmful. She was one of the smartest people I knew, and she was funny and goofy. She could be so, so brave too, in ways I never am. This day fucking sucks.

Hell yeah brother

industry built on unpunished mass-scale theft continues to perform mass scale theft

I get simply the Most use out of this @theonion.com headline. It's become shorthand in my house: "Babe, I dipshitted again!" Brought to you by the Blue Jays game.

I finally watched Battleship Potemkin, which was really interesting. It felt really alive to me, you can really feel people figuring out how to make a movie. And it had some images and sequences that really hold up

There’s only one correct answer.

Give Captain America one of these instead of his shield

what, you mean like this? bit.ly/wisdomofemperors

Nobody wants to see some dipshit subvert Actual Superman. We have plenty of Man of Tomorrow derivatives whose only reason for existing is to do just that. We want to see Superman save that squirrel like in the James Gunn movie.

this is the secondary essence of Reacher, besides Being Large Reacher arrives, Reacher is Large at the bad men who run the town, Reacher leaves may the show continue forever

Slippery Creatures by KJ Charles and Here Where We Live Is Our Home by Molly Crabapple

In many dream versions of my life, I'd be an Oxbridge don of some kind. Not only was that never an option, I also have to deal with that class pretending as if their esoteric ways and knowledge were common, actually, and I'm just stupid for not knowing. *That's* the part we really hate:

Doctor just froze my hand and then gave me shots in my PALM so if the world wants to do anything super cool, now's the time!

If they really want to get people off antidepressants they could resign and get in a single file line for the sun-yeeting catapult.

My favorite band in the world, maybe the only true "yes, this band above all others" I've ever had, is playing their first gig since 2016 next year in Scotland. They sold out in a day, and I missed my chance. Then today they added a date and I'll finally, finally get to see them. I could cry.

I really like this! Chris is convinced the image is a Mapplethorpe, I disagree

Ok fuck yeah disability REPRESENT People with disabilities can be fashionable and stunningly beautiful too.

This is really excellent. Sam's a big person, but it gives the silhouette perfectly.

If this is what they were facing, good on The New Day and any other talent that didn't accept this bullshit. 🤼

This happened in NC and that is precisely what it feels like. People were *pissed*

This is for *your* kids, you understand. The tech elites send *their* kids to private, screen-free Montessori schools. They know exactly what they're doing.

I am officially old because I'm reading this graphic novel version of Anne of Green Gables and I think Matthew Cuthbert is really cute in a hipster kind of way

Ben Folds Five, Philosophy--or Underground, too

Extremely important indeed.

This is the sort of thing that people post on here all the time, and I really cannot tell if it's just ignorance or thoughtless cruelty or if people have never actually CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS. Like, Alabama has over 5 million people and 1.5 million voted for Trump. 1 million are children.

Dear #hockey folks, what is up with the 8-10 Waldos at the Canes game? Anyone know?

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

I am also screaming that you should read these, they are fantastic!

I ate too much cereal (in terms of ow my tummy) and walked on my walking pad to try to train my feet to point forward and then stretched a bunch because my ankle won't pop. Basically I'm pretending like I don't have to work in the morning as hard as possible

If we can raise $16,025 for Yellowhammer Fund, it will unlock an additional $50,000 to help people in the deep south travel to get the healthcare they need.

I unironically absolutely fucking *love* Radar Love by Golden Earring, it 100% fucks

Jokes on you, I can't remember enough of anything I love to populate a top ten list off the top of my head. The second you ask I will forget I ever even watched a tv show or listened to a song

One of my favorite Oscar Wilde anecdotes is that he once did a reading and Q&A in a mine. With miners. Like down a mineshaft. He had this crazy idea that everybody of every occupation deserved and could benefit from art and information

This is great.

I’d add words of wisdom from my stepmother—“A hobby is something you spend money on. If you make money on it, it’s a job and you’ll eventually need a new hobby.”

Hey, yeah, so if you’re white and you’re A) in my mentions or B) quoting me and saying LET THEM SECEDE HERES SOME JOKEY OR SERIOUS REASONS WHY maybe fucking read the goddamned Black made room before I stop being the kind person I usually try to be and just straight up tell you to get hit by a bus

New recession indicator: I used to have to set a calendar alert for the day summer camp slots opened up, otherwise everything would fill up before I could get my kids in. This year I was a week late and 3/4 of the slots were still open.

In 1st grade I burst into tears and ran to the nurse during a class anti-smoking message bc my grandfather, who I adored, had recently died of lung cancer. He'd had it once before, and kept smoking the whole way through. The second time got him.
