We are so lucky to live in a world that has bobtail squids. 🦑📷 cr1970 (www.inaturalist.ca/observations...)

It’s James Stewart’s birthday. Seen here in The Matrix (1946) Dir: Frank Capra

I recently watched an interview where actor /comedian Martin Short, talking about his daughter who passed away, said: “She did the best she could until she couldn’t,” and described mental illness as often being a “terminal disease.” We need more compassionate honesty and conversations like this

THIS DOG IS METAL A.F. \m/

Me too. It's my head Canon now. *Mando fiddling with his gauntlet before soft buzzing noises from beneath the helmet* This is the shave.

TODAY IN 1989, "PARKER LEWIS CAN'T LOSE," PART OF YOUR GEN X'ER DEMOGRAPHIC HERITAGE AND MINE, DEBUTED ON FOX. ABRAHAM BENRUBI, WHO PLAYED LARRY KUBIAK, WOULD LATER HAVE A PIVOTAL ROLE IN M. NIGHT SHYLAMADINGDONG'S 'UNBREAKABLE.' I AM A FILM HISTORIAN & NOT AT ALL A BOT. PLEASE VISIT MY WEBSITE

. Can’t wait for another election where I’m told voting for the lesser evil is “the mature choice” after every decent candidate got sabotaged, smeared, or financially strangled out of the race. .

At last, a pill that can PREVENT COVID after exposure to infected people buff.ly/RxebpGI Ensitrelvir cut infection from 9% to 3% in household contacts. This is the first oral post-exposure prophylaxis for COVID ever proven to work. Game changer for the immunocompromised. #medsky 😷 #publichealth

Hollidaysburg Area High School, Hollidaysburg, PA, Class of 1994. SCHOOLS DO NOT NEED A.I. TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS. At my high school, they did it during the Morning Announcements, let alone Graduation. Artificial Stupidity is redundant 🤣 www.theverge.com/tech/933653/...

Writing. Like it was going to be made illegal. The wiring of the building sounds like a bowl of Rice Krispies. Ball lightning oozes through the walls. The ghosts howl through every steam radiator, in Sophoclean chorus,in ASSENT, in YES. A thousand times, YES. Because they get the joke.

Just found my cat on Google street view. Looking straight at the camera.

Editing a piece of cinematic alternative-history scifihorror drawing from the Christian Nyby and John Carpenter film adaptations of THE THING. Given the subject matter, the title fell into my lap. THE THING FROM ANOTHER THING 🤣

Hear me out. Kenan Thompson as the new James Bond.

A PROTEST WITH PERMITS IS A PARADE. A protest with Boomers is the world's largest geriatric beer garden in my neighborhood, full of thousands of entitled white people who have to be explained what a "crippled person with a cane" is.

Waylon Jennings narrating: "Now, right about that time, them edibles kicked in..." 🤣

Autistic Waiting Mode. When you have a doctor appointment and can't do anything else until it happens, except do prepwork for other things and climb the walls like Tenzing fucking Norgay.

Gratitude ripping through me like a CHAINSAW. Can't stop crying with Joy. The monumental work I have done, the hell my dear one and I have been through together..and the moment the shelling stops. When one bird sings. Then another. Then the ones in every tree. Then people come outside.One. By. One.

Until one of those machine-learning rigs can get a boner,stub its toe and say Ouch,smoke a joint and get high,experience grief, and read/write/comprehend a poem, they are not grown in the AI region of France and are merely sparkling content-theft.

girl are you Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey because you haven't even gotten here and a bunch of weird dudes are already whining that you weren't created specifically to meet their expectations

The only thing this song needs are The Specials as backup band, full horn section included. Because, synth or not, this song is Ska. Not porkpie-hat-and-clown-shoe college-radio Skapunk. Ska. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e7w...

Here's how you know I'm not a bot. This song slaps. I just like it. I don't know when Mark Mothersbaugh's birthday is, or have a history of the group, or any other form of age-flogging clout-farming for followers and clicks. Just a slappin, slappin tune. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P5B...

Well, I guess they found out which member of the expedition was The Thing www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

I'll never get over the president dancing like he's jerking two dudes off onto his face

We have a hard time understanding mean-spirited teasing, ball-breaking, jokes where the teller's eyes don't laugh. Jokes that aren't really jokes. We read people's souls like the shamans we are. So the m.f. better be as funny as Buddy Hackett playing the Hollywood Bowl

"But you're a private investigator. Why don't you carry a gun?" Jim Rockford: "Because I don't want to shoot anybody."

........Or did IT discover US? Hahahah, sleep tight, kiddies 🤣

Ever have one of those moments where you facepalm like, "I have nothing to be an obsessed kid about. I handle the challenges in my life like a Klingon warrior poet. The things I have thrown at me, and the way I react to them, make me a self-evident miracle. QI PLAH. GLORY TO DOING WHAT IS RIGHT."

“Are they a proud people?” - my wife, just now, about Juggalos

"I see you wanna be a Jedi. I'm...something of a Jedi myself." </Big Willie D toothsome grin >

A.I. American schools. Donald Trump. People are getting more aggressively ignorant, making that the law, and shoving it down the rest of our throats. Common sense, common courtesy and cultural literacy now look like mutant Marvel superpowers

One of my faves of late.

Ursula LeGuin never engaged Elon Musk. She died before he really began becoming a threat to society. Using generative AI to complain about climate change is like fucking for virginity. And using someone I shared a stage with once at a read to farm clout gets you several paragraphs of Me. 😱

Bouncer WWE entrance music. "I HOLD THE LINE. 🤣 I HOOOLD THE LIIIINE... Edward for Front Door. How long are we holding the line?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsaf...

This cockroach was so big I had to fight it like I was The Predator. Using skill. Patience. Strategy. Multiple, murderous weapons. As I slowly raised the dowel-rod in a proper fighting-stance,I thanked the being for the chance to dispatch him in honorable battle. Today I am Edward of the Yatja 🤣

Helping the person you worship above all others is Metal as fuck. \m/

Edward Hopper Office at Night, 1940

New Instant Block: Stupid, preachy, TruthSocial-esque memes with blatant misspellings, or grammar that gives me a stroke. It's a trap.

The saddest sentence in the bio, the saddest sentence in Science Fiction, the saddest sentence since Jesus Wept: "Douglas Adams died."

"When you believe in yourself, others believe it too." ---Bruce Rivers, Atty.-at-Law

Some Native Witches at the gig last night gave me a whole fistful of sage to use for my own medicine. I am now finding a way to grow my own sage FOREVER. Wild suburban sage, and foofy store-bought bundles, hold no candle to this.

For seven years,poets in Portland told each other, "If you want to feature at an event that's more relaxed, try the Hour That Stretches." People on the bus:"Oh, hey, you're the guy that hosts the Hour That Stretches!" Only mentioning it because it just happened again the other night after five years

Changing the title of the novella. 'Harlequin Jury' is cool, and an in-joke, and right between Bob Dylan and Dylan Thomas on the 'Dylanesque' scale. But it doesn't encompass the plot. Thinking of calling the novella BALLROOM BLITZ.
