So: happy... er, yes, well, happy this most holy of days to all who celebrate

"Daddy will never disown me. I am neither a cop nor a (bus ticket) inspector." Seen in Valence, France

Early Dilbert could be incredibly on point at times, and it's important to acknowledge that rather than pretend it was always terrible. Scott Adams getting high on his own hype, emerging from his hate chrysalis, then doubling down on it, was very odd. He poisoned his own legacy well before death.

Elon should watch @jessiegender.bsky.social’s video on what hes missing when he thinks about a Star Trek future You should too actually, it’s really interesting and quite important to understand in the age of a tech bro oligarchy

The reason this is a war crime, incidentally, is that without it, combatants have a valid excuse to target and kill civilians – because they might be military in disguise.

Good morning to y'all Today I hit you with a Sneak attack haiku.

Nobody talks enough about how Warhammer 40k has an entire Space Marine chapter that lives on a desert planet and just wants to be left alone to read books and make lists. Whenever they have to go into battle, they overplan it to a level that annoys the shit out of everyone else there. I love them.

Slightly diminish a band Theory of a Seriously Ill Man.

Ice is in Echo Park rn pass it on

I belong to a generation whose collective sexuality was thrown into chaos by the cast of The Mummy, and that of course includes Rachel Weisz, so this tracks.

Important news.

Thread. :/

I only found out there was a Audible sale after seeing my bookscan numbers for The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet suddenly jump by several hundred 🤣 nobody tells me anything. So, grab a copy for 99 cents if you've got a US account! The narrator (Clare Corbett) does an absolutely cracking job.

A 🧵 of attempting to switch from #Windows to whatever #Linux. Given my very low frustration threshold, general& intensive dislike of anything that isn't plug and play and zero knowledge of the topic this will no doubt be... arduous. But apparently there's no alternative. So will give this a whirl.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, LOWER DECKERS! #startreklowerdecks #lowerdecks #startrek

@freslah.bsky.social @xnightmaredoll.bsky.social as night falls here, I am reminded time exists. I hope you have had a cracking start to the new year and may all your rolls be high.

Exactly 💯 To "Kill it off" means to kill people. The headline and article are both an abhorrent incitement of violence against trans people.

"This must be the year Britain finally kills off trans ideology" Was the headline of a recent Telegraph Op-Ed. In my opinion this is incitement to violence against a minority. Changing trans people to "trans ideology" does not make it any less so.

Who is she supposed to blame for you being awful people?! Fcuk me. This is a direct quote from an article, too 😆

My only solace is that some genespliced tranny biohacker will outlive this guy by like 200 years while hes trapped in a sterile gerbil cage and she's off trying to catch rare diseases as an artform like some biopunk bugcatcher

Fuck that noise.

There is a reason I'm implementing contingency plans for the community in the UK... The trajectory is undeniable, and without the community coming together to provide for itself, aided by allies and trusted partners, then we are left to the whims of people that dont really care. 1/

@clar-the-malk.bsky.social finally started listening to Iron New York. Episode 2 of season 1. All I can think of is "smol baby, must protec!" whenever Claribel happens

Quote some pinup art 🖤

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

天呐，大猫驾到！ Literally “oh my god, big cat arrive”, with “驾到” being a formal way to say “arrive” that’s usually used for people in power like an emperor.

whats Mandarin for "oh lawd he comin"

I watched all the Lord of The Rings movies but I gotta say. I never really got what Sauron’s FUCKING problem was

A much underrated little flick, really deserves to be better known, if only so you'll never hear a certain Bucks Fizz tune without thinking "Some bad shit's about to go down!" again!

The size of my ass is not ADHD or Autism related. I am just fat and it accumulates everywhere... With smaller amounts going to forearms and calves for some reason.

I found this to be an interesting discussion related to your question youtu.be/tvwPKBXEOKE?...

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background. The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

This. Be a decent sociable person, first and foremost. Don't look at interactions as transactional contests you use for career gain and status.

Ok, since this has come up four times in the last three days: REPUTABLE LITERARY AGENTS WILL NOT CHARGE YOU MONEY. IF A LITERARY AGENT WANTS TO CHARGE YOU FOR AN "EXPEDITED ACCESS PACKAGE" THIS IS A SCAM.

Played a lot of Veilguard last two days. Its not bad! Mage combat still feels weird.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, eventually found himself on a planet called Third Earth, where he had a long-running quarrel with a group of anthropomorphic cats

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, eventually became a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Dawn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth!

merry chrimbo. move more copies of this so I can finish my sequel, which is a Christmas noir
