today's intrusive thought

I was going through my pictures from the Artemis II press event with my 6 year old (we do this for every space-related business trip I go on) and we got to this picture, and he asked what it was. I explained it’s the leading edge of a Space Shuttle wing (and what that means.)

A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

oh my god, just the seatbelt thing alone from the mid-80's to the mid-90's was *so, so much* nonsense

"On your left."

it angers me that the head of the fbi called intact bullets shell casings

LRP: Tank Girl fucking slaps and the fridge is full of Spunk

I feel like quotes like 'kick against the pricks' will get me cancelled. Oh, wait, I already went to movie jail for near 30 years. I'm surprised the movie's not banned. Can you find the Epstein island metaphor? All in for exuberant anarchy!

#Onthisday 17th September 1944 at 12:45pm the Dunwich Microwave Early Warning plot of American airborne forces approaching the Netherlands for Operation Market Garden. @nationaltrust.org.uk

like I said, not done. don't get too eager to finish Alien Earth just yet

I am ready, at a moment's notice, to detail how the scene at the end of the 1983 version of The Right Stuff where Yeager 'borrows' an F-104 and crashes it is 100% historically inaccurate but still carries important narrative details that serve the film...

"My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass out at the vat of 80 different vaccines last night!"

I didn’t know that Delta FAs are cat wranglers now 😂 Someone’s cat got out and the FA caught it.

amazing timing on this post

feeling pretty good about blocking/muting everything I saw that was 'cancelling D+ is fine and all but won't really amount to anything'

Fascinatingly preposterous idea, that we just stop having late-night shows when a number of people get too emotional until they can compose themselves.

...what

the admiral in this convo understands that deliberately killing civilians is a war crime and people who do it are war criminals

3,000,000 points for the Solaris patch if it’s a Battletech or Tarkovsky reference. 10,000,000 points if it’s both.

we're all thinking it

that most of my GenX cohort opted to be Boomer-lite assholes

Walk without rhythm, and it won't. attract. the worm.

Scob the empire and give to the rebellion

The Democratic tent already had many, many anti-abortion democrats, who got wiped out because — and this is the crucial point! — independents and republicans *did not vote for them*

also deeply disappointed with @tedlieu.bsky.social for voting for the Charlie Kirk thing and will not be voting for him again. Anyone worth a damn looking to primary CA district 36, by all means, get in there.

Harris has forfeited all benefit of doubt, the muscle mass thing is dog whistle horseshit, and the sooner she goes away and stops fucking shit up along with most of the rest of the Democrats the better off we’ll all be.

please leave Beverly Hills faster robot car

go fast and

all I see when I see this dude

can't wait to hit the Toot & Boot

LRP: you're shitting me

Holy shit, nobody at WSJ thought to ask if TRN might be something that is on MANY bullet casings.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

no one is obliged to mourn someone who wanted them dead

listen, you go to war with the Cone of Power you have

definitely not feeling the ‘we’ve won the first Battle of Los Angeles’ vibe

Manta ray for #sundayfishsketch I’m still diving in Indonesia, so this is digital. #sciart #coralreefs #marinelife #oceanconservation

tired: the normalization of risk tolerance creep wired: the encouragement of risk tolerance creep

this is just 2025 SIOP, right?

I can't even make the 'just like Whitey Bulger' joke because unlike Whitey, dude would never be caught dead at my farmer's market

the uncanny valley graph but for how accurate the 1990 movie Navy SEALs starring Michael Biehn and Charlie Sheen actually was over the years since it's release

oh, is it going to be 'lol Florida everyone should just leave' again today? get entirely fucked.

good to see they installed the action figure foot peg for Petey

Gavin Newsome? Oh, you mean Gary Antoinette?

Really strongly recommend everyone get off Substack. Not just for the Nazi stuff, but because they're going to lock you into the platform and then slowly bleed you dry

listen, you go to war with the Cone of Power you have
