something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that total eclipses are only possible on earth because the moon and sun appear to be the same size in our sky, due to the insanely, astronomically unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.

Had the joy of appearing on Reginald's Book Club (Reginald couldn't make it, so I chatted with my close personal friend @dominicnoble.bsky.social ) and being the biggest shill for myself possibly by discussing my own book. open.spotify.com/episode/2zHl...

Honestly, these guys have the right idea. We should all get the hell off this planet. www.youtube.com/live/Tf_UjBM...

Just a general reminder that I do at least one extra video a month thats exclusive to my beloved Patrons. www.patreon.com/posts/apprec...

Eh. I didn't think that joke made sense. No one thinks the Iron Islands counts and the Crownlands has only ever existed as the capital of a united Westeros, not an inderpendant kingdom.

Taking a look at the latest MCPFGRRM adaptation. youtu.be/4wOt0KF8PJ4?...

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

Made a thing. Its on YouTube. youtu.be/9yhft4Y8Oko

I genuinely didn't realize my shirt was this slutty until after filming my commercial for a VPN 😅

The white Heathcliff thing has already been called out by much more relevant people than me but yee gots its such a wild move. How do you read about someone who's character defining bitterness is partly informed by people being racist towards him and still envision a white guy in their mind?

this is murder

I thought Lyonel Baratheon was an odd character for the show to chose to develop at first, but fair play to them it turns out the story WAS improved with a ride or die disaster bisexual running around with a sword.

If I could give some writing advice to Julia Quinn it would be not to use the word "predatory" in a sex scene that already has dubious consent 😐

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks. "So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Aborted note for Bridgeton season 3. Fair play to them, Polyamory would solve 9 out of 10 love triangle issues.

Grab your microphones and/or Zydrate and get ready to get freaky as we dive into Repo! The Genetic Opera with special guest, @dominicnoble.bsky.social The pod is available on all major podcast platforms or you can listen at: share.transistor.fm/s/b49d15dd

I just assume all hockey players are fucking now.

Jesus WAS a pokemon.

This is getting a spike in views because of this past weekend. Gross. Please don't make me work on a part 2. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh-e...

I can't remember if I've mentioned this yet but i'm really enjoying A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Super solid adaptation so far and I love that they're using what sword a person uses to inform you of their personality.

Probably a question for @jessiegender.bsky.social but opening it up to the floor as well: I dropped off Star Trek Discovery about half way through Season 4. Will I be confused by anything if I watch Starfleet Academy now?

I cannot be more serious about this people. You need to find a better alternative, if they don't walk this back. You do not – I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS FUCKING ENOUGH, DO NOT – want to give these people your identification.

Oh. Then we'll all delete Discord.

Damn, did not expect the Dungeon Crawler Carl books to have a extremely thoughtful discussion on the need to find small moment of joy for yourself to keep you motivated to fight while facing cultural and physical genocide from exploitative capitalist systems of power, but there you go.

I don't know why but my expressions get misread a lot. People hasten to reassure me theres no reason to be jealous when all I was thinking about was tie food.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

One of the greatest perks of my job is I'm not forced to be nice to anyone. I can (and like to think I usually do) choose to be, but thats Dom's niceness, not mandated niceness.

Ai is still a net loss for humanity overall, but it is occasionally very funny seeing dumbasses assume its going to pick up on socal cues and give the answer they want, only for it to blow up in their face.

New thing on youtube. A sexy gay vampire thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5W4...

One day I'll remember alt text is a thing before its too late.... Also I apprecate the "well built" part.

ok the full clip is way better than the little one going around. her whole team try to get her to bail on the event and she's like no, I came to speak. incredible example.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again. Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

INSANE thing for the YouTube AI to reccomend talking about in the comments of @dominicnoble.bsky.social's Rebecca video but okay

Both HP Lovecraft and Douglas Adams wrote about how the human mind would be utterly and irrevocably broken if it were to comprehend our true insignificance in the universe for even a second. The main difference was Lovecraft assumed you'd need an eldritch horror, Adam's version involved a cupcake.

I will never shut up about Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Pretty willd how the DOJ just straight up stopped releasing the Epstein files even though they're legally obligated to do so.

Ok, am I completely insane for being perplexed at the way everyone in Interview With the Vampire Part 2 kept claiming Claudia looking like a child? Delainey Hayles was 26 at the time of filming and I just... Yeah, she looks 26 🤷‍♂️

I am going to outlive him, and I am going to drink a really nice whisky to celebrate his death.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Is there a version of the Odyssey in which Odysseus dosn't bonk half the demi goddesses and witches in the Aegean Sea? Because I keep seeing "Odysseus was a wife guy" reels and he sure as fuck wasn't loyal in the book I read.

They're currently set to private on Youtube pending final decision, but it seems likley concidering how much I sang the predatory shit's praises in them.

Today is the last day that you can repost this image
