My latest Babylon 5 review is up! This time, we're looking at "Soul Hunter," a goofy but still intriguing episode:

RLM recently posed the question of what alignment Quark from Star Trek DS9 would have. I submit: Lawful Good. The laws he followed were the Rules of Acquisition, but he followed them for their own sake, not only when it benefited him. And he only DIDN'T follow them in service of some other good.

The duality of man.

But Tiny Tim will never die. The world belongs to me. This is where I've been given time to live and see. NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE IN, NEVER SAY DIE LIKE MY MAN TINY TIM.

My coworkers at the special needs clinic and I have done it: we have claimed "6 7" from the youth and run it into the ground so hard that THEY are begging US to stop. YOU ARE WELCOME, EVERYONE. JESUS MERELY DIED FOR YOU, WE LIVE THIS NIGHTMARE FOR YOU.

So they're making a new Street Fighter movie, and I'm sure the guy they got to play M Bison will be perfectly serviceable, and I fully expect to spend every minute of his screen time missing Raul Julia with all my heart.

I know that you're in love with him, I saw you dancing in the gym, A rhyming couplet wrote by Don McClean. A lonely teenage broncin' buck, With flowers and a pickup truck, The meter fits the Parton hit, Jolene. Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene....

If there *must* be a big-budget live-action Zelda movie, the least they can do is feature Beedle the merchant played by a lone Muppet in an otherwise human cast, and never acknowledge the difference in any way. If they can't give us that much, what are they even doing?

Remember that time that we got two Elder Scrolls games, two Fallout games, and three Mass Effect games all in the same console generation? ... What the hell happened?

Wow, I didn't realize the prosecutors were so based! *reads article* Never mind, they consider it a bad thing for some reason.

Fun fact: Jordan Peele names his films this way because they're horror movies, and for some reason half the American public is scared of pronouns right now.

Everyone get ready for an "old man yells at cloud" moment: "Crashing out" does not mean to throw a temper tantrum, it means to fall deeply asleep immediately because one is very tired. You don't get to redefine perfectly good slang just because you're too young to know better.

That's a poke. A joke is a head fake or other misleading movement to confound an opponent in sports.

If you are a National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support, you don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487 Know. Your. Rights.

Star trek had a lot of hard lines over the years, but this remains the fucking hardest

Keep seeing people saying they're "boycotting" the Switch 2 over game prices. Shit, I didn't know I was boycotting Ferrari, I thought I was just broke.

"All the... small things...."

Playing Jenga with @xelesparza.bsky.social 's 100-year-old granddad. It is delightful. Before the game has ended, he's forgotten the beginning. "Who would build this tower in such a way? Never in my life have I seen such a thing!"

There's a dent on the bottom of my soda can so it won't sit flat. Modern problems require modern solutions.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

I think it's important to allow a way back for all but the most lost souls, or they'll have no reason to ever stop doubling down. Whatever got this woman from participating in insurrection to refusing a presidential pardon and serving her time, it needs to be studied. www.bbc.com/news/article...

How are y'all making your PB&J? Peanut butter first, meaning a little bit gets into the jelly jar from the knife? Jelly first, meaning a little bit of jelly gets in the peanut butter? Two separate knives? Wash the knife in between?

So I've been keeping my ibuprofen in an old garlic jar because it's the right size for my work bag, but it made it taste like garlic. So I switched to a chicken Better Than Bouillon jar, but the garlic taste is still there, just with a chicken taste now too. I'm thinking some rosemary next.

One tells only truths, the other tells only lies. Answer our riddle and you may pass.

Everyone has opinions on how early is too early to play Christmas music but I am over here saying, people, it is January 3rd, your week's grace period between Christmas and New Year's has run out, it's time to quit that shit.

As always, if you'd like to help a truly cute, yet currently disgusting animal, check my ko-fi and commission a plush or two.

Union baristas are calling on EVERYONE to NOT buy from ANY Starbucks store during the duration of our ULP strikes (Manually reposting for mutuals/followers who have reposts turned off, bc i think you'd wanna know!)

You've got to admire the absolute balls on whoever decided to take what is obviously just pizza, leave out the sauce, and call it "cheesy bread" like it's a different thing.

This so funny

45k people die in a year due to lack of healthcare (news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...) Dems: 😕 One millionaire healthcare CEO dies Dems:

You say "remember that he was human." I say "memento mori, motherfucker" to everyone who goes around getting rich on human suffering.

For those going home to visit family this weekend: • Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus • LG calls it TruMotion • Sony calls it Motionflow • Roku calls it Action Smoothing • Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement • Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

People describing the vaguely-defined economic systems that govern the future of Star Trek and saying "it's not communism tho" have the same energy as teenaged boys hurriedly saying "no homo" after complimenting one another.

Gen X: Remembers Alf. Millennials: Only remembers the time he came back in pog form. Gen Z: What are you talking about, boomer?

I really don't get why social media is so obsessed with this, McDonald's has been using a clown for PR stunts for forever. *Googles* Never mind, I get it now; the last one was way less scary and off-putting.

Toured a coffee roastery today. This is the fresh-roasted beans dumping into the cooling hopper. The smell is incredible.

worth repeating, clearly: Republican state legislators are willfully, knowingly making sure the vote count process is as slow as possible by law so that they can claim victory before the count is complete and then claim it was stolen once all the votes get counted.

Why did mayor Eric Adams get the perks? That's nobody's business but the Turks

Happy Labor Day

Blink 182. It was vapid and grating back then and it's vapid and grating now. Fight me.

What's the name of Barney Rubble's son? Bambambiguous

Keanu Reeves attempts to explain African American Vernacular English (AAVE) to white people in the well-meaning but tone-deaf Johnny Ebonics.

The game known to Earth children as Knights and Knaves, in which one group tells only truth and the other tells only lies, is known to Vulcan children as "Logical Guy and Other, Diametrically Opposed But Equally Logical Guy." ...It loses something in translation.

Many are my names in many countries: Muadib among the Fremen, Usul to Sihaya; Paul Atreides I was in my youth in Caladan that is forgotten, in the South The Preacher, to the Bene Gesserit the Kwisatz Haderach; to Giedi Prime I go not.

Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wondrous as you
