holy shit bsky has a water sealant expert that predicted the reflecting pool failure mode perfectly

Please enjoy the cat in his pride bow tie

Kurt Vonnegut: In my book I drew an asshole as a cautionary tale Anthropic: At long last, we have created the Vonnegut Asshole

ARRIVING FRIDAY: With Your Shield or On It, an oracle deck by @pamwishbow.bsky.social A 42-card dark fantasy collection of symbolism inspired by gravestone iconography, heraldry, and an antique store missed connection with a vintage German deck

Happy Pride to this incredible icon (who I discovered by accident while down a solo RPG-related Wikipedia rabbit hole) La Maupin: bisexual swordfighting opera star who once burned down a nunnery to rescue her girlfriend

ARRIVING FRIDAY: The Crimson Eye Tarot Deck by @egallagher.bsky.social A haunting 78-card Rider Waite-style deck from an illustrator we love. Everywhere you turn, the eye is upon you (Yes, we originally discovered Evangeline's work through their book covers, specifically for Hell Followed With Us)

Proud to report my closet full of bins with labels like "fur, feathers, eyes" and "glueable objects" is regularly visited for shit Tom needs for class Also, one time I got home from work and watched the HVAC National Championships for an hour instead of making myself dinner

In Jennifer Turner's defense, I went to a show at Red Rocks on Wednesday and took the free shuttle from the parking lot instead of walking to the gate and OH MY GOD LIFECHANGING

Did I, personally, chase down the Crimson Eye deck bc I like Evangeline's art? Yes. Yes I did. I have done this before and I will do it again

update on the guy who ate gatorade casserole

you've been in this business too long to think you can make a funny joke without consequences

The Danger Zone that we all need to ride into is being true to ourselves

cube of perfect anger

Fun fact: almost always, I write copy without ever seeing the item in person. It’s a lot of tab browsing, like internet stalking an object instead of a person. This? I had to use the folding tutorial on its itch page to understand wtf was goin on (it’s sick, that’s what’s goin on)

Obsessed with this 1735 illustration of hammerhead sharks from Japan

oh hey, happy pride month 👋 🏳️‍🌈

I KNEW IT. I KNEW THE STARGATE WAS REALLY DOWN THERE AND THE POTATO IS PROOF

today I discovered this incredible story of a minor league pitcher who is 6'4 wears glasses and a ginger beard who hurt his elbow and went to the doc for Tommy John surgery and was mistaken for a pitcher from a diff team who was also there for TJ surgery on same day anyway heres their pics and names

still thinking about the time my brother made my food-allergic nephew a birthday dino-cake out of watermelon. 10/10 no notes.

Cosmic horror is great because it just kinda invents itself. Spend a bit too long thinking about the sun and you realize it’s a radioactive death ball larger than your mind has capacity to comprehend, so inherently dangerous that looking directly at it will harm you, and it’s just sitting there.

Given how many little "big animals on wheels" we've had from all over the world, I think the prehistoric equivalent of "Truck Kid" might be "Ox Kid." (Ukraine, Crete, Maharashtra, Anatolia)

Must feel so amazing right now to be a Vietnamese man in NYC named Nicks Nguyen and hearing the whole city chant your name

guy has a trillion dollars, 0 friends, and has never landed a joke. I know a pact with the devil when I see one.

With tomorrow being the 10th anniversary of @pixelatedboat.bsky.social's "Milkshake Duck" tweet, I think Pokemon Go might be one of the all-time great milkshake ducks:

Happy Pride to The Final Sacrifice episode of #mst3k where Mike gets Grizzled Old Prospector's Syndrome instead of Hockey Hair, says he made out with a surly truck farmer, and Crow chuckles and goes "you ol' coot!"

What a guy

If I were a coach I would occasionally say to the referees "You're right we did commit a foul there" instead of arguing all the time. This builds my credibility as an objective interlocutor in their minds

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

Spouse is learning to draw for his Industrial Design degree. Had to make “a representation of an image in print” and chose @theonion.com baby gun ad (then I guess had to explain that he gets The Onion in paper form)

The internet is so shitty that this year, I became a Wikipedia monthly supporter

basketball’s all like gimme that pumpkin i need it and tennis is all like fuck this lemon you take it.

This is the best Pride moment I'll ever have. A little gay boy (when you know you know), maybe 7, ran up to me today and said, "What's your style?!" "What's...my style?" "Yes! What STYLE do you have?" "I'm too old to have a style!" He beamed at me. "I change MY style EVERY DAY." And he skipped away.

Propping the TV up with big cans of Roma tomatoes. Greatest city in da world

Love to see someone booed lustily. Lustily: the only way to boo.

sorry the only "real" new yorkers are the rats who work in the kitchen in Muppets Take Manhattan

the success of Backrooms means Hollywood now has no excuse but cowardice for refusing to produce a Groverhaus movie.

Harder to think of a clearer example of "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle The Master's House" for this era than people using "generative AI" to protest the outputs and infrastructure of "AI"

I specifically requested no more metaphors

Genuinely life-changing trick for keeping mosquitoes away that I discovered by accident last summer: run a bubble machine.
