People spent years in college and/or had careers as a tech writer in order to to learn how to properly wield the em and en dashes. And yet nerds will torch many forests trying to emulate a mere fraction of our power.

Crypto Leaders Call For Infusion Of 20 Million Dopes To Stabilize Market

New-to-me Turtle Chip flavor spotted on yesterday's outing. Quite tasty, Orion has another winner on their hands. www.hmart.com/turtlechip-m...

Oh wow, the first volume totally slipped under my radar! Great series, and this sounds like an amazing edition.

Big Preventing Electrocution doesn’t want you to know about the secret cord.

Trace's impression of Bullwinkle is one of my favorite bits in THE DAY THE EARTH FROZE. That and the opening Scandawhovian voices for the first couple of minutes. Anyway, it's what was paired with AVALANCHE in the #MST3KTurkeyDay marathon, still in progress. "Let there be gold, flour, and salt!"

"I'm going to tax the everloving shit out of the rich people who made your life miserable and put every masked thug who broke the law or traitor who wrecked the government for their own profit in prison" I admit is too long for a sign, but at the very least this should be the spirit of the thing.

This evening we're watching THE DAY TIME ENDED on the #MST3KTurkeyDay marathon. Starring the guy who played Jock Ewing on Dallas but we're here for the "Concepts" song! @felicia.day wearing the straw hat boater is :chefs-kiss:

Watching "Assignment: Venezuela" on the #MST3KTurkeyDay hits a bit different this weekend. "He has another wife! It's called PETROLEUM!"

Today on the #MST3KTurkeyDay marathon, it's ATLANTIC RIM. Whatever they paid Graham Greene for this movie, it wasn't enough.

Tonight on the #MST3KTurkeyDay marathon, it's MAC AND ME. (Mac and I, dammit.) "This is what I imagine an ELO concert would look like."

The number of emails flooding my inbox (and yours too, I imagine) today is exhausting. I might go out for a cup of coffee today but otherwise every ping makes me less inclined to buy anything.

Shorts time on #MST3KTurkeyDay. It's "The Home Economics Story." "Kegs will be tapped. Men will be used."

Now playing on #MST3KTurkeyDay, it's STARCRASH with Caroline Munro, Marjoe Gartner, and the Hoff! "Believe it or not... I'm not William Katt!"

Pancho deserved better! Now poor Panchito is an orphan! #MST3KTurkeyDay "It's storytelling of the highest order. This is Regiscope."

Be very careful near the Pinedale Shopping Mall!!

He is risen

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

I forget, was this Worker or was this Parasite? Either way, new favorite sickos image.

slapping this sticker on top of the nuzzi-lizza discourse

OMG we are at Grenadier Guard Alert! @rifftrax.com is releasing "Fun in Balloonland" on YouTube on Turkey Day. We do not deserve such bounty. Get ready to add the Marrying Turkey to your celebration checklist. cc: @optimstie.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2Yb...

It is terrible out so I am making some chili. So far I have refrained from touching my eyes after dicing jalapenos, so I got that goin' for me.

Frogby is wise. Listen to Frogby!

when its definitely not a hostage situation

This is a great article that reminds me a bit of "A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear," where the people who are why we can't have nice things in society attempt to form their own. Also introduced me to the word "caitiff," which describes a lot of these assholes.

In the classic literary piece Elvis is Everywhere author Mojo Nixon posited that Michael J. Fox was the anti-Elvis, the one human lacking even a particle of the Elvis spirit. In this 50-part essay I will explain how Elon Musk not only has no Elvis in him, he creates negative Elvis particles...

Stop making phones thinner with each generation. Nobody wants that. But sure, blame the people not buying phones for the economy sucking. Same playbook as the oil industry pinning "carbon footprint" on indviduals instead of their own actions.

Rewatch of all #LowerDecks episodes complete, though I have a few with commentary to rewatch again. Talk about a show that should have had six seasons and a movie, but I still have hope. Not done hearing about Boimler, Mariner, Tendi, Rutherford, T'Lyn and the rest. And more Olly! We need more Olly

Couldn't figure out why I am so tired today, and then I remembered I had several vaccinations yesterday. D'oh! And I was even there when it happened! Anyway this Saturday nap was brought to you by COVID and flu shots. Get yours today!

Don't ever talk to me or my armful of cats again

Oh hey, a live-action Gundam movie! Twenty-something me would be so stoked! (reads on) Well, that was a fun ride while it lasted

There is a new update to #Pikmin4 and I have been inspired to pick it up again. But i started a new game from scratch because I can't remember half of what is going on. Decor Pikmin are great!

The entire art community when a pro-GenAI shill says "hi".

Google has decided that you either feed all your data into their plagiarism machine, or you can't have half the stuff that used to differentiate GMail from every other service. I should have bailed when they got rid of Inbox. It's been entirely downhill from there.

On #TransDayOfRemembrance, we honor our trans siblings lost to fatal violence and their impact. We will not stop fighting until trans people are not just able to survive, but thrive and live safe, full, and joyful lives. May our collective grief, reflection, and action lead to a better future.

classic Loony Tunes have much to teach us about class solidarity

I would like to share something. A year ago, Trump won and I was furious and scared so I sent a text to a few of local women I knew and asked them to join me at a meeting and invite like-minded women they knew. A few showed up, then a few more. We became a group called The Salon and we meet monthly

Listened to Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue" on the way home from the gym. Love it, but I am also mad at the people who made that piece of music synonymous with United Airlines. I just wanna listen to the horn section, not visualize UA planes flying through the air!

The alt text on this is sheer perfection, and the replies have me wheezing.

OMG what a deal! You know you want a Kaiju Soccer League hoodie and a Little Beirut t-shirt. Those two garments are fundamental to my wardrobe now! calyxdesign.com/calyxworks/g...

Combine this with the latest article from Lyz Lenz about how #MeToo didn't go far enough and... ugh. I feel sick. www.patreon.com/posts/metoo-... I also want to know what developers actually set out to build this technology, the ethics of the thing are atrocious. But no liberal arts, only STEM.

If Bluesky doesn't launch a campaign using "A couple of wokesters" as the tagline, I dunno what they're doing. He's really declining fast this week.

I have spent at least an hour being on hold today with nothing to show for it. Well, I still hear a phone ringing even though gave up about ten minutes ago.

This is a great thread about how the GOP is trying to destroy the hemp industry on behalf of the beer industry.

This is a great idea! Come close out old accounts! I'll have snacks!

Do people WANT a tax return that will urge them to off themselves? I suspect not. Reminder: the USDS built an awesome system to file your taxes electronically. Intuit donated a shitload of money to Trump and when he takes office that got shuttered. Now this. We live in the dumbest timeline.
