Humanity: still worth saving.

A whole lot of political folks of a certain age can’t get over the events of 1979. “We have to take down Iran because they made us look like pussies. And we can’t be seen as pussies.” It’s just so… immature.

The two truths: 1) There is nothing wrong with porn, let people safely make it, let people safely enjoy it. 2) If you let people define porn as bad, authoritarians will ALWAYS expand the definition until their hands are around your neck.

I desperately want a follow up documentary about every fucking person involved in setting him up for the two charges they made up against him. I want to know how many other lives they destroyed, and who exactly they were targeting. And I want none of them to feel safe walking down the street.

I'd read a piece of historical fiction about a pistol-packing 73-year-old former First Lady taking on the Klan.

Jesus… Does this mean we can fire Phil now? #RCTID

Holy fucking shit Lids. GOTTDAMM

In David’s defense, the only reason he said that transphobes like JK Rowling are little whinging fuckers is because they are, in fact, little whinging fuckers.

Watching the Don’t Cry and Who Wants to Be Jacob Wysocki? episodes of @gamechanger.dropout.tv back to back, because I like living in a world where the folks who make a silly internet show can be unbelievably kind to an individual just because they need and deserve it.

Impressed that the article top loaded the shops I was most concerned about. Glad they’ve found a home. Still sucks the Lloyd is being destroyed though. (Hey, I’ll be happy IF and WHEN something better replaces it. IF… and WHEN…)

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.

like, I do NOT know how you survive being a young person today. it feels like we've closed off every opportunity they were ever promised while still expecting them to hoist themselves up by their bootstraps, and also the bootstraps cost $39.99 a month and sell your data to raytheon

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

Just watched this movie off of that silly list, called The Celebration. I think it broke me.

Calvin’s dad was right and has always been right.

Stop scrolling and post 2 characters who bring you happiness.

Just finished watching Come and See, and holy shit.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

*rolls over, looks at the clock* Apparently I just slept for 12 hours. Must have needed it.

Playing D&D, and this was just said: @marysuesays.bsky.social: I cast fireball on CM Punk. No, I will provide context.

Aw nuts. Dude was the best part of that Masters of the Universe movie. And served as the platonic ideal to Gen X of what it meant to be a hardass.

An old piece paying homage to the best 15 seconds in TV history. (Originally posted this Columbo on the bad site a few years ago, but thought he deserved an airing over here.)

I was over at another site, and *IT* auto played. … It looks just like the movies. It’s the exact same aesthetic as the movies. Even if it was possible to set aside the fact that watching it helps finance misery and death, (and you can’t,) it’s still not worth watching.

Of course this is what Colbert is doing next…

No clicks, no attention, no money to the wizard school ghoul.

If Portland didn't want me to nap then Portland shouldn't have given me this weather.

It’s Akira Kurosawa’s birthday. This is what it’s all about.

This is a Dance off! If you see this, post a dance or you're eliminated! 🎶💃🕺

My copies of The Maxx are buried in a box somewhere, but Four Women is on the bookshelf, and it’s getting a reread tonight. Legends Never Die…

Can’t remember if I was in 6th or 7th grade, so I could have been as young as 11 when I started reading Stephen King, but I do know I started with Pet Sematary…

God bless physical media, but holy shit is that a lot of money…

Well I’m not knitting a full length scarf for a three month season, I can tell you that much…

Four. Non. Blondes. *shudder*

Tiny bat

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid.

Oh great, apparently a huge chunk of the students at work have pinkeye…

Dune 1: Go White Boy, Go Dune 2: Oh Dune 3: Oh White Boy, No

After hearing this, my grandfather would’ve taken a bullet for this man. Just a crazy skill of making great speechwriting (written by and with others, I’m sure) sound conversational.

I’m reminded of the woman I worked with 30 years ago who took started homeschooling her kid, and how he had opened up and was now so much more creative now that he wasn’t oppressed by the system. She described a story he wrote as an example. The little shit had plagiarized Pokémon: The Movie.

Been trying to remember what the first video was I bought at the Lloyd Center. The first with paycheck money was the vol. 1 VHS of Starblazers, I know that. Since it seems B&N has pulled their video section ahead of their closing, the last was the Blu-ray of Blake’s 7 series 1. So there’s that.

Great, now I have the theme to Raiders of the Lost Ark stuck in my head, you sick son of a bitch!

remember when Facebook straight up lied about the "pivot to video" stats and wrecked entire industries? Surely the chatgpt people wouldn't do THAT

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

I keep seeing videos of those DOGE guys who were basically in charge of America for a while, and each and every one of them is exactly the type of guy who makes the bouncers at a club go on high alert if they come within twenty feet of a woman's unattended drink.

I had today off work, and thank god, because I’ve been in bed all day with the mother of all migraines…

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
