This web comic is SO GOOD. I’m so sad to see the end of this chapter but also so excited to be able to go back and read the whole thing again in one go.

If you are wealthy, I think you should spend more money on clothes. There's no pride in buying clothes for the lowest possible price, as this puts downward pressure on garment worker wages and increases the likelihood of exploitation.

An American just got sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for moving “Antifa” zines and there’s about 1000x as much media coverage of Trump’s reflecting pool 👍

Made a new poster of Robert Johnson with a bunch of period correct details. I looked at the original Vocalion record sleeves/disc labels to pull decorative framing elements. The font (redrawn) is from the 30's. The clothes, guitar and portrait are all based on 30's photos. Star marks his birthplace.

"Tell Jabba I'll get him his money..."

Boston cracked the seal in 2004, & it was never properly attended to between 2005 and 2016. Then we lost Bowie & Prince, reawakening the gate once more. And then: the Cubs. Attend to your rituals, children! Seal this portal, & with it cast these rancid vibes to the netherdeep from which they came!

When IWTV S2 was airing, @gavia.bsky.social and bemoaned the fact that editors weren't biting on her coverage of the show, which I think is the sharpest out there. I said that maybe by next season, *I* could publish her... 😎 Very proud to share Gav's recap of The Vampire Lestat's first episode:

"It's not like there's been some major data center disaster" bro power demand from data centers is so high that they're keeping coal fired power plants alive and setting up illegal gas turbines to power them! CHOOSING TO ACCELERATE CLIMATE CHANGE TO POWER A CHATBOT IS A MAJOR DISASTER

He’s living in 3026 over here. What a life hack.

Uh, I'm a little reluctant to do this, because I didn't do it for money, but some people have suggested I do it anyway... So, if you like the Trek Title Card Generator, feel free to throw me a buck or two, I guess... ko-fi.com/bean525

I'd REALLY appreciate it if anyone who sees this would try out my text generators so I can iron out any remaining bugs. Please, and thank you! trek.epicrandomness.com

“Unify in my anti social beliefs and lay down and die” is also not uncommon sentiment on The Bluesky

Technical points- If you lose your cat- Lost Cat Detective Kim Freeman is amazing. Her book works and I can’t recommend it enough. Flyers, flyers, flyers. Paper the neighborhood. Do not give up a few days in. If you don’t have proof or good reason to suspect death, keep going. 26/e

I grew green beans during COVID. I had a small yard in a decently busy city and it took a decent chunk of my yard. I love green beans. I spent months growing enough for about 2 meals.

found this guy on Tiktok who has discovered carpenter's speed squares make an insanely satisfying noise when you bounce them off tires or wood, called @lostcoastedc on there

Only took damn near 8 months

Man, that sounds terrible. Killed with impunity by agents of the state for just being on the street and protesting? Hard to see how regimes like that can continue to claim a popular mandate.

In 1979, Mattel sold toy Battlestar Galactica fighter ships that fired a tiny spring-loaded "torpedo." One 4-year old choked on it, and the entire line of torpedo toys was recalled and never sold again.

famously the only joke allowed on Wikipedia is, in their List of Whales, any entry that is missing a photo says [cetacean needed] apparently some unfunny losers have made it their job to find public domain images of whales to eradicate this joke only one instance of [cetacean needed] remains

Ancient Mycenaean ceramic artist: I don't know, I think I rushed the painting, and I don't love how the nose came out... Their friend: Relax. It's for a cemetery. Everyone will be mourning, and after that, nobody will ever look at it again. Artist: Promise? Friend: Promise. 3200 years later:

I think about this all the time.

That makes one of us, bitch

The people united will never be defeated

Got up early in hopes of catching this photo before work this morning. There's only a few days each year where it's cool enough in the morning to make this shot possible. Thankfully, today was one of those days! #wildlife #birds

The Illinois Accountability Commission has released its final report on Operation Midway Blitz. The report looked at evidence suggesting a federal effort to suppress dissent, finding "DHS used paramilitary tactics to occupy and impose control in Chicagoland." Full report here:

In 2021, a cat ran onto the field at Yankee Stadium, causing a brief delay during a baseball game against the Baltimore Orioles. Fans in the stadium began chanting 'Let's go cat!" while kitty evaded security. Poor kitty looked scared but it eventually escaped through an open gate. #cat #baseball

These ribs took all day. 😁

This web comic is amazing. Buy one! And then buy another and donate it!

The first line of this video is: "I'm suing my neighbors because they cut down twenty trees on my property..." That sound you heard was very lawyer going "ohhhhhh shit...:

do you ever wake up at 3am and think "shit that's a good idea, I better write that down so I can share it later on"

Me: [idly looking up info on popes] Wikipedia: This list is incomplete; you can help expand it. Me: wut? Wikipedia: [lifts eyebrows suggestively]

Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

So far: Berwyn Cicero Rapid Response is reporting two abductions early this morning. Far South Rapid Response is reporting ICE has been sighted at the 111th St courthouse. Sightings in Elgin. Two abducted from Carol Stream. Reports of someone escaping an abduction in La Villita.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

I can't remember who first posted these, but whoever you are, know that I right-click-save-as'ed so fast it broke my mouse. Hats off in the presence of greatness.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE TAGGING ME IN ON THE VATICAN / PENTAGON BEEF HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

As Trump says “a whole civilization will die tonight,” JD Vance openly backs him up. “We’ve got tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use,” he threatens.

It has come to my attention that not all of you are aware that this exists. So, here it is. It exists. Dozens of channels of randomized music videos and bumpers. Choose your era and return to your childhood. Bookmark it for when you need to escape back. wantmymtv.vercel.app/player.html

I've laughed waaaaaay more at this than I should have.

The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.
