Some things are perfect. Timeless. Like a crystal. Once a year, you should help yourself to the most flawless thing the late great Andy Rooney ever made: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KngG...

Thin Desires Are Eating Your Life. “A thick desire is one that changes you in the process of pursuing it. A thin desire is one that doesn’t.” [joanwestenberg.com]

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

Sad news. Bob was a great scientist and a huge influence of mine in grad school. I've been very lucky to get to work with him, his lab, and the wonderful people he trained over his expansive career. newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/in-m...

Jesus fucking Christ what a god-awful news cycle

Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Dusted off the BattleTech minis to try out this newfangled Alpha Strike and ACES thing at the LGS.

Finally! Bonus for the end of my week!

Happy Slow Horses day to all those who celebrate . tv.apple.com/us/show/slow...

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Nothing like the confusion preceding the realization that record you just put on is actually a 12" 45.

I missed a description while listening to the audiobook of the new Michael Connelly novel 'Nightshade'. Decided to do my periodic check on ChatGPT performance. Turns out, still a confidently idiotic bullshit engine.

🙂

RIP fuel pump :/ Oh well, after 24 years, I'm just gonna call it the Truck of Theseus.

Texas thunderstorm knocked out the power. Now the eternal question, wait for the fix, or do I break out the Coleman to cook dinner.

It isn’t a backlog, it was/is an investment in my present/future self. A mix of new and 20+ year old minis, mostly grimdark canibal space chickens. Including my beloved 2001 Gameday mini I got off eBay circa 2003. I’m reasonably sure I own every Kroot model ever cast, outside the Forgeworld stuff.

The world is aflame, but that doesn't mean we can't make time for the best seasonal tumbler page of all time: poopingonbluebonnets.tumblr.com

Man after my own heart

Get wrecked Elon you unctuous toad.

every college, corporate, and nonprofit president right now

My first attempt at Anpan: Japanese bun filled with sweetened red bean paste. Only 2/8 were perfect, the rest had leakage or were full on disasters which I was able to hide on camera.

Well, if HEB is going to bollox up my home grocery delivery at least I got some quality stuff out of it. Two dozen free eggs! Such wealth! (Correct half of order on the left, randos half on the right)

Digging through old boxes I found what I think is my first bottle of hobby paint. Suddenly I’m back in my Bowles Hall single. It is 1997, I’m a sophomore at Cal, and I am listening to the Babylon 5 soundtrack for Severed Dreams. Floored this isn’t petrified solid. It shall be a relic of my people.

😂😅

Yesterday at the Texas Capitol #standupforscience2025

The latest news from the bespoke lettuce front: luxurylaunches.com/other_stuff/...

Been a bit of a week (most of them are these days), and wanted some comfort food. So I made my first attempt at beef bourguignon. Great success if I do say so myself.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Saw a clip of the Go-Go's today. "That guitarist looks like Joan of Arc from Bill and Ted's excellent adventure" *googles* "It IS Joan of Arc from Bill and Ted. AND she was the singing telegram girl from Clue?" BANG! How are all these people I like the same person?! Rock on Jane Wiedlin.

My most recent Lego kit. Shackleton’s Endurance. Good times. The sails are kicking around somewhere, but I prefer it with the sails unrigged.

Roses are red, Elon's a knob,

Don't forget, he is also the bestest video game grinder too!

Mine. All mine. Out of print for 26 years, I got tired of checking it out from the library/terrified it would go walkabout. Thanks eBay.

The Trump admin just slit the throat of university research in this country and left it bleeding on the floor at 5:00 on a Friday. Straight from project 2025.

It finally came. Time for some Yoko Kanno goodness. IYKYK.

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash. None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None. But a LOT are caused by bigots.

I decided to correct a historical mistake, one that lay within my power on a Sunday night: McDonalds style apple pies, but fried them properly instead of the objectively worse baked version.

Texas snow day dinner: Korean fried chicken (scratch) and kimchi (store bought). Need to try some homemade kimchi, but one step at a time. This on is working it’s way into the repertoire. Gochujang will change your life.

Goddamn @nytimes.com, you just decide to platform all the fascist dipshits today? First I wake up with you trying to push an hour of audio with Mencius Moldbug, and now we’re on to some long form Bolsonaro? Fuck off.

Our discount strings of adjustable LED Christmas tree lights appear to share a least a few signals with our FireTV remote. Kind of digging the chaos.

“He will know your customs as if he was born into them”

These generalized disagreement bots are getting bonkers.

For those going home to visit family this weekend: • Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus • LG calls it TruMotion • Sony calls it Motionflow • Roku calls it Action Smoothing • Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement • Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

Turns out “Scaramuchis” run to negative values.

WANNA BE SURGEON GENERAL

Finally ‘Old Yellered’ the Twitter accounts today. Feels good.
