it's ok to think about a movie too much so long as you use classical music to comic effect nebula.tv/videos/jeffi... youtu.be/jKXErqNdW58

Bee tee dubs Sam Neill only insisted it be in the film, this lovely gentleman actually designed it (and swore off beer until it gets adopted)

Jeff Goldblum would say that Also RIP to a guy my dad said was nice but not a genius, which is fine because he didn’t have to be, he’s Sam fuckin Neill

My problem with the rock is that I have anosmia so I can never smell what hes cooking

What a way to die

This is doing the rounds of Facebook again. Pages getting 100s of shares & using it to boost their following with their own watermark and no acknowledge of the source. Fuck all you can really do about it. It's not by "Unknown". It's from my book Ring The Hill: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

When biting the bullet and paying a plumber to get it up to code is just too much work

got his fiddle dee dees on

Ahhh, the 80s

Yup. Trying to imagine a scenario when anyone would get hired as a teacher with Platner’s background, and the answer is “lol no way.” But we hold our senators to a…lower standard?

The idea that her text is some sort of gotcha only makes the slightest bit of sense if you, like Platner, think that flirting (which may or may not have been what Racicot was doing; it’s both unclear and irrelevant) is asking to be raped.

I don’t need another tote bag however

One of the things that really brought a smile to my elderly mother-in-law was hearing what her visitor counts were to her quilting website. Now she's in hospice, so I'm going to try to drive some visitation numbers up quiltsbymarlene.com/the-quilters/ This was one of her proudest achivements.

I hope Mexico beats England today as revenge for Mexico week on the Great British Bake-off

Probably a better post for yesterday but that’s ok! It’s always a good day to post this jam.

Typing out "G_d" because you know that freak name-searches.

Counterpoint:

Happy 14th anniversary of the best fireworks show I ever witnessed (not my video)

I am having zero luck finding actual credits for the “America: Birth of a Nation” video and I hate doing this but @theonion.com @bencollins.bsky.social the narrator is superfamiliar and while I don’t think it’s Eric Roberts it sure would be funny

Happy 250th to what this country can be, what so many people do well in and with it every day, and how we continue to try to do better in spite of the roadblocks to the true liberty we could and should have. Yes, there’s trash, but there’s gold too. I want to believe in us.

Worth a rewatch because of how good it is

Yes, but which one is my hole? Which one was made for me?

Suetonius, in 60 AD, upon learning of Boudica

Babylon 5 came out around the same time as DS9 and my Trekkiedom would not allow me to watch two different space station shows at the same time (and no amount of friends liking it has budged me from this irrational judgmental position)

Hey! I don't plug my book directly very often, but if you like LAKE GARY half as much as I love making it, please consider purchasing the first comic collection so we can make more! 📗☢️

Just to reiterate, being one vote away from nullifying the constitution is the smallest distance you can possibly be from nullification. That is the smallest number you can get to before you're there

Gif search function is now legit worse than Facebook

“Once More With Feeling” I think I now know why I wasn’t a fan of Buffy’s singing back on airing - it’s not necessarily pitch issues so much as she’s got more of a character voice and it doesn’t quite mesh well with the songs. She’s not Britney but it’s a similar issue.

i've said before and i'm sure i'll say again that there are very few places in the country zohrans couldn't win. the impediment is not the zohrans' positions on policy. the impediment is the party's position on zohrans.

could the ultimate experience of flesh TRULY be made manifest before me? forsooth, by mine own actions?? qwantz.com/index.php?co...

Football’s a simple game, 22 players kick a ball around for 90 minutes and at the end Germany loses to Ecuador

Janeway has met hundreds and hundreds of different species of aliens over the years think about the level of weirdo you have to be for her to make this face at your racial tic.

Stop being weird!!! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Ahhh, the early aughts, when comparatively progressive shows like Buffy normalized making your own sexbot (sort of, sympathizing a little too much) I appreciated it when they had him flayed later, though that was maybe a little too quick than he deserved

Also, Xander makes good points quite randomly but can also be a massive shitheel (but this is something we already knew)

This guy got 100 years in jail Best country in the world

Perhaps unpopular BtVS opinion: I don't mind Riley. Maybe I have questionable taste but I think he's just fine. He's not really shoehorned in, he's a good dude, and while he was rightish that she didn't really love him he was still good for her. It is for the best he moved on, tho, for his own good

It took WAY too long to find this scene searching the internet, to the point I was seriously considering it being a Mandela Effect. Found it in an Insta reel I didn't immediately clock because of the yikes first image Not even a clip of it, the internet is failing us

Is this a kissing book?

"The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam" is a great rule to have against AI content

I definitely didn’t read P&P all that deeply because yeah I didn’t remember how shit the Bennets were at being businessy (But, as Bridgerton (lol) suggested, being an actual businessman was gauche, you get other people to do that because it’s biscuit time all the time)

Post Juneteenth post to say it's weird to me that we only see photos of the Civil Rights Movement in black and white, when they share history with the 60's - a time when colour photography was so prevalent it was booming. Here are some photos of Civil Rights movement in colour

For all my silliness about the accompanying image this is actually a pretty good read

I know in my heart prison abolition is morally correct but I see this stuff and I want to go back in time and put the Enron guys's heads on spikes as a warning to the rest

Let me be absolutely clear. We need local leaders with the courage to proactively impede federal officers when said officers violate the Constitutional Rights of our people. If you want to see Aliso Viejo lead the charge, help me flip the majority by sharing my campaign as much as you can. 🙂😈

Mary Turfah may be the best essayist writing in English right now. Like everything else she writes, her words are lacerating, lucid, bitter and immensely insightful. thebaffler.com/latest/warri...

Did the Miniverse Make It Mini Hello Kitty mini pencil and eraser kit, it lies about how long to knead the putty - that shit sets insanely fast. 1/10.
