Release the attack crows!

reminder to not be too hard on yourself if you are feeling major anxiety at any of the truly insane headlines you are seeing these days. it’s likely because you haven’t spent 10,000 hours mastering how to be immune to the truly insane headlines you are seeing these days

Never knew about this guy. He missed taking out Hitler, Goering, and Goebbels all at once by 13 minutes!

I cooked all the meals I said I was going to this week and that's basically like winning the Super Bowl for a chronically depressed person

Mask up, friends.

that x-files episode with the lady jinn where mulder wishes for peace on earth was absolutely where pluribus sprang from, right, the seeds just gestating quietly in the loam of vince gilligan's head for the past twenty-five years

per my point about the mercator projection being the root of this whole thing

Help is empty, and all the hamburgers are here

So heartwarming to see a parent picking up their child from school.

tip for parent management: my parents were asking me about chatGPT, and have some friends who love it, and none of my attempts to caution them were as successful as just sending them the Wikipedia page for AI hallucinations

why not tear down the entire building and construct a giant golden calf

I do have a litmus test for my candidates now and it's that I want them to be genuinely pissed off, not pretend pissed off

Minneapolis.

The reason you shouldn‘t watch films of people being murdered is because it messes with your mind. Even if you think you’re fine, you’re not.

Stars from the night kitchen.

It has to be weird to have your birthday on January 6th now. I mean people definitely remember it, but for bad reasons

Has anyone who's said "my sweet summer child" ever had a good point

seems uncontroversial to assume, at this point, that the contents of elon musk's personal hard drives would probably net him a life sentence, were they to be discovered in the course of an investigation.

This is why it annoys me when people try to make it seem as if this is how things have always been. There was a time when greater literacy and reading as a part of everyday life for people of every class was a national mission. Then it changed drastically and now we’re here.

Danish guy gets it

when Will Smith is back at the Oscars in 2032 they're gonna have Chris Rock go on stage in like a suit of armor, or a big hamster ball or something. mark it down

Matsuyama Miyabi

looking forward to your feast day, dude

if you're thirsty, they're thirsty. water your electronics

Mood. “Death blowing bubbles,” 18th century. The bubbles symbolize life's fragility. This plaster work appears on ceiling of Holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. After the monastery’s dissolution in 1803, the buildings were used as the city's hospital. #skystorians #history

i wonder if there was any hairstyles that would've made Samson even stronger

"bear" is derived from a bunch of european words like "bjorn" meaning "brown" because people thought saying a bear's name made it appeared so they started effectively calling it "the brown thing"

This thread has lived rent free in my head for almost a decade. In fact, I think I pay it rent.

mad men ending would have been so so so much better if peggy and joan had opened a detective agency together

does anyone remember my work password

"Grilled cheese" is somewhat of a misnomer. It's actually the bread that's grilled; the cheese just melts. We've been getting lied to for years.

That SOB Godzilla stepped on my car. Never meet your heros

Just saw an interview with Anthony Hopkins on IG where he says that he based his Hannibal Lecter on the voice of the computer HAL in 2001 and nothing has ever made more sense in my whole life

did the classic-since-movies-have-existed move of coping with the news by hiding in a movie theater all day, and saw what are now two of my favorites of last year (Resurrection; The Secret Agent) plus a screening of 8 1/2 beforehand, which is maybe the most unhinged triple feature in known history

I swear to god, a kid I went to high school with who was posting the “Harris will send me to war” memes reposted this with “we’re so back”

I’ve got so much writing done today, I could cry. I’m so proud of this work. Joyful rigor. I’ve got five books opened at the same time to check for accuracy and when I couldn’t find my phone I realized I’d stuck it in one of them as a bookmark. Using a giant piece of topaz as another bookmark.

2026 was really lovely for 2 whole days!

Well, it was either all this or another black person in a Star Wars movie

biiiiiig stretch

People are like “if I won the lottery, I’d keep on working.” 
I’d show up at the office one last time, cook an entire trout in the microwave, and leave.

Be thankful i don’t let all my personalities post

I heard through the grapevine you guys don’t like AI slop. Might I recommend buying this shirt that says “FUCK AI SLOP”?? (made by @allgrim.bsky.social; cardboard Minecraft Steve and Creeper heads behind me not included) allgrimprints.shop/products/fuc...

If I have one broad critique of horny creature design, it's that novice worldbuilders often give their creatures too many fluids. If the alien has magic piss, then focus on the magic piss – it probably doesn't ALSO need magic spit and magic sweat and magic mysterious goo. Practice economy of fluids.
