My definitive 🧵of the 5 things that makes #Bond Bond. Not about race or gender in my view. Violent. British. Sophisticated. Loyal. Charismatic. I focus on Connery, Moore, Brosnan, and Craig. This is not an accident.

I have watched every #Bond film, in order, and I love Bond. Here is what makes a Bond. 1. Bond is violent. Don't "all action heroes are violent" me. No. Most action heroes are forced into violence. Bond chooses violence, often as offense rather than defense. 1/

I have been waiting to buy this die for 2 months and now it's mine! Huzzah! The drop was at noon, so the rest of you are already late.

The page art in @fantasticalgeographic.com #5, which came out today, is absolutely gorgeous. @alderdoodle.bsky.social and @devenrue.com outdid themselves. The flowers and vines and leaves behind everything are just so so pretty.

I have heard some crazy stuff to get out of jury duty, but this is totally coherent and I kinda love it.

This is a good story. This is what I thought the internet would be when I was a starry eyed teen.

I had NOT noticed and there should be a word for when someone points out an incredibly cool fact and then immediately dashes your hopes with "haha, no reason for it, lol."

Slightly increase a band Empress

The news regularly makes me feel like an idiot. Everything about which I thought you could say "well, I'm sure there are still pockets of that bigotry, and the history of it requires reckoning, but I think society has largely moved forward," I was wrong about. Not one or two things. Everything.

This thread is very helpful for understanding a counter intuitive market reaction to Iran.

Over a year since I started Gaeth, my D&D world. - primary doc ~150 pages - started a drawing journal - friends built characters - commissioned maps, drawings, engraving - featured in @fantasticalgeographic.com What I'm saying is, don't start writing. It will take over your life and bankrupt you.

The @theonion.com D20s are back in stock. (And, yes, I bought one before telling y'all because doing it in the other order would have been stupid.)

I’ll vote for whichever 2028 candidate promises reconstruction 2.0 at this point

Guys. You are not allowed to tell me about stupid special edition dice only after they're sold out. Stupid collectible dice are my thing!

Marriage is when you trust someone with your heart, your life, your children. But not your crackers, which they will steal and eat without mercy or remorse.

Odyssey is the story of someone who never even wanted to go to Troy desperately cutting corners to get home ➡️ things take longer ➡️ he gets madder ➡️ more mistakes. But halfway through he gives up and spends a year with a lovely lady before feeling guilty and getting into a mess all over again.

The Venn diagram of people who don't like this clip and people who are uncomfortable with their sexuality is a circle.

I started this post to say I was supportive of telepathy without believing in it, but quickly realized telepathy, like autocratic power, is only good when only I have it. Don't want the rest of your arseholes in my mind.

If I have to see this pun, then so do you.

Every comment on this hilarious clip ends with "but Colbert would be good!" Colbert seems smart, charismatic, and decent. We've had worse! But Obama thinks President is a skill position and Colbert has never held office, knows nothing about those skills. Focus on winning ➡️ Colbert Governing ➡️ No

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not

This should be obvious, but if those instructions worked then they would be programmed in as default instructions.

The problem with the "not even the Gods can stop me getting home" framing is that Odysseus voluntarily spends an entire year living and sleeping with Circe and Homer says he has a really great time. He even goes back to Circe's island for a little vacay later!

My thread of Met Gala looks so far. Honestly a pretty disappointing year. Snarkier commentary in the alt text.

I love the Met Gala red carpet (even if every year I'm upset not to have been included), but normally I find myself getting on a soap box about the men not being on theme while the women pull out all the stops. So. More. Of. This. Please. Art.

Can't prove it, but the generational divide between Gen X and Millenials feels connected to the fact that comfortable white kid culture was saturated with utopianism. Created a shield against Trumpism. We were dumb. But we honestly thought we solved homophobia with Lawrence and racism with Obama.

This could be business casual if we even gave a shit

Look at this absolutely gorgeous DM's notebook @speechlessbard.com made for me based on @salvaterra.bsky.social's rendition of the 5 main continents of my OC world, Gaeth. Golden age of TTRPG creatives.

Take it from someone who has been arguing competitively and professionally for longer than the 21st century has existed: you don't make arguments this disingenuous if you truly believe you have the stronger side

(1) This is exactly what The Menu was mocking so perfectly. (2) Yeah, I'd still try it.

DOES NO-ONE JUST IMAGINE SHIT ANYMORE? YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO SEE YOURSELF MACKING ON MONROE WHENEVER YOU WANT.

I love NYC but when I'm eagerly tracking a package: Day 0: It finally arrived in [Queens/NJ]. It's almost here! Day 1: It's in Manhattan! Out for delivery any moment now! Day 4: Ok, it finally go to my local post office. Day 7: Out for delivery. Day 8: Finally!

⭐️ GIVEAWAY ⭐️ I’ve passed my GED after a very, very long time. To celebrate, I would like to host a giveaway for my store merchandise. You will receive five items of your choice. Can be from any category.

Took my daughters dress shopping this past weekend. Got to witness so much joy. Makes me really sad boys don't get this. Where are the colors and cuts and fabric choices for them? Where are the parents cooing over how awesome they look?

"Hollowed Grounds" is a pretty funny misspelling, though.

Read the whole thing. Beautiful way to rethink the moment before Gandalf's greatest fight.

THAT'S. A. 500%. RISE.

This is like one of those "cut for time" SNL skits that is actually hilarious. This is a great map!

When I was about to take paternity leave no. 2, an older partner said, "In my day we didn't do paternity leave." So I said what a shame that was and how warm and loving (and exhausting) I found my first leave. I kid you not, he responded, "I never had feelings like that about my kids."

I know we're way, way past this, but it remains shocking to me how stupid so-called elites are willing to sound in deference to Donald Trump. Like, dude, have some basic self respect.

Obligatory birthday art post, happy birthday to me! It would mean the world to be able to share my art with people today, so any sharing means the world 💙

In the simple model of the prisoner's dilemma, when facing a serial defector, you have to defect for a few rounds in hopes of moving them back to mutual cooperation.

I'm glad Virgina voted yes, but talk of "defending democracy" is absurd. This was a power grab, a chess move to sacrifice proportional representation with the goal of defeating a fascist movement. I support it. But it's punching the other side in the face, not holding true to high minded ideals.

"Our model, which is driven by precinct-level results broken out by vote method, currently estimates that the referendum will pass by a margin of approximately 4 points."

Andon Labs is a very funny company that seems to constantly put AI in charge of things and then invite journalists to write stories about how terrible AI is at running those things. I know nothing else about these guys, so I picture them as fey tricksters. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/u...

My new @ribbonandknot.bsky.social dice arrived and they're beautiful but they also came with one of Joanna's gorgeous painting cards and lovely tissue paper and goodies and it's just so many bursts of delight.
