fuck yeah weird al (flashing lights warning)

political science

the only public health messaging that matters ☝🏿

All I really want out of politics is a Democratic Party with the same energy as Stevie Nicks singing Silver Springs live in 1997 obliterating Lindsey Buckingham's soul.

I think it’s also worth noting that a huge part of what changed is algorithmic feeds Back then, we curated things ourselves. It’s not that there was NO chance we’d accidentally see something awful but the chances were monumentally lower

Oh, go on then - Bandcamp Friday and all that. jonathansims.bandcamp.com

Do I just have the blorbo brain rot or is every early 2000s female singer/songwriter heartbreak song perfect for Hawkeye Pierce: one of the great mysteries of the universe

Heads up: THE BOOK OF JHEREG, by Steven Brust, is on US ebook sale for $2; I got some for random giveaway. This has the first 3 books in the series: Jhereg, Yendi, and Teckla.

people, you have the chance to put my book ahead of Olivia Nuzzi’s on the bestseller list. put aside all other considerations and think how objectively funny this would be. #1, that Mountain Goats guy. #2, Antivax Man Has My Heart. funniest list of the century. We can do this if we try

i think i should be allowed to have an extra december, like. one for just sleeping. and then i’ll have enough energy to do christmas in second december.

I've always thought of MASH as "about the Korean War, made during the Vietnam War" but I finally looked up specific dates today and the US was out of Vietnam before BJ shows up

me: I hardly even remember what alan moore looks like now *zooms in and starts panning* there’s absolutely no way I’d be able to figure out which of these indistinguishable white boys is—oh there he is.

Salute to the realest white man this country has ever produced, o7

This is incredible.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

this movie freaked me out, highly suggested

Time sweeps dust of hope from his hands, and turns another page but the Eagle has landed: tell your children when; Time won't drive us down to dust again

By sheer coincidence both Nancy Drew and Miss Marple enter the US public domain on the same day (January 1st, 2026), and it feels like someone ought to do something with that.

Having a snowstorm on small biz Saturday is really gonna fuck our holiday szn, please consider buying a book for a gift (ppl in the USA) to help keep this queer little bookstore scooting along.

This is EXACTLY how I feel about Dr. Evermor & his sculpture park on Hwy 12

Well, it's after American Thanksgiving. You know what that means: A FULL BARRAGE OF HALLOWEEN ADS! Christmas won't expect an ANTICHRONAL ATTACK on its TIMEWARD FLANK. I WANNA SEE SKELETONS DANCING IN THE SNOW GODDAMNIT. FILL THOSE BASTARDS SO FULL OF CHRISTMAS SPIRITS THEY'LL RUN FOR THE DOORS

Time once again for one of my favorite videos: m.youtube.com/watch?v=dI9K...

I treat boycotts as personal blood vendettas. This is about me physically harming a corporation, not about me telling any other human how to live their life. I don’t have time to judge others while I’m digging two graves for me and Target.

My very cursed brain is trying to write lyrics to “Grandma Got Abducted By A Reindeer” because it started working backwards from “…as for me and Mulder, we believe.”

I used this link recently to track down a distant theater showing Wake Up Dead Man. Worth the trek! It's a fucking great Benoit Blanc movie. Go see it on the big screen if you can. It's so good as an immersive experience.

I feel you, ancient Mongolian ceramic hedgehog. I feel you.

This is a little misleading I think: most libraries will only consider purchasing something that's less than two years old, but they'll usually still try to borrow a copy for you if you want it

This also applies to pizza and barbecue.

I love the idea of Sinners just periodically returning to IMAX every quarter so everyone who wants to see it, can

As we are now T minus 3.5 days from Thanksgiving, if you need to deploy Operation Avoid The Boundary Tramplers, tonight is when you post where they snoop about a headache or a queasy kid, or a funny noise from your car, or your pet acting strange, or a serious work issue or an unexpected paper.

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ... ... listen to Steve Wozniak.

just incredibly thrilled to announce that after months and months of uncertainty over the future of the game, and several I have bought Zombies, Run!, the game I co-created and have been making for the past 12 years: zombiesrungame.com observer.co.uk/the-critics/...

PSA: someone I was talking with about the Chirp wheels discovered they're having a generous-as-fuck Black Friday sale: gochirp.com If you've been considering them, now is a good time!

Literally EVERY parent should ban Roblox

DM: The orange fascist lurks in his lair, hunched behind his massive desk, revelling in his stolen power. His acolytes hiss at you as you approach. What does your human bard do -- MAMDANI: Active perception check. DM: ...that's a natural 20 MAMDANI: Let's fucking go. <FLUTE TRILL>

It's finally happened: I wrote a whole scene for a fic in my head as I was going to sleep and I actually remember all of the good bits the next day This feels like a bad omen somehow

These things blow my mind in the most beautiful way

heads up that even if you didn't ever actively intend to do so, a lot of people are accidentally heavily invested in AI right now and didn't notice that it happened, just from the mechanics of how these index funds work. if you'd rather bet on people it may be worth looking into moving things around

This is a hundred percent me

the cloudflare outage yesterday happened specifically to prevent me from taking psychic damage from listening to the it could happen here episode about explaining pornography to tucker carlson on a tuesday morning I do think it's very funny that the first ad I got in the ad break was for PrEP

I think one of the strengths of Stargate is that everyone is behaving like they're in a different genre of show. Carter is from Star Trek. Teal'c is from Star Wars. Jackson is from The Mummy. O'Neil is genre savvy from the Aliens / Predator universe and isn't going out like a chump.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Heads up that this production (which also stars Lupita Nyong'o as Viola, and her brother Junior as Sebastian) will be airing on PBS on Friday night. I cannot WAIT.

Yep. Active resistance is the only path for reclaiming what they’re doing to the myths, as well as the only safe way to spot an ally. (Sticker from Etsy. My usual response when people comment is “I don’t think the mixed-race, genderqueer, disabled Allfather is going to like Nazis much, do you?”

Today's discussion question: would Hawkeye Pierce become an avatar of the End or would he just get eaten by it
