Yinglets are just Snarf, but (probably) not the Snarf you're thinking of. I mean the Elmore one. Bipedal and 30% more Jar-Jar than the "Snarf, snarf" Snarf.

Exodus.

Have a hammock view on a cool windy day, plus squirrel.

"Où sont les lézards fascistes télévisés de ma jeunesse?"

News makes me angry so I cleaned a bit and now I'm listening to an LP of Tommy Douglas speeches.

Given space opera is pulpy sci-fi and a horse opera is pulpy westerns a rock opera should logically be Two Fisted Metamorphic Tales and other gritty geology stories. Paleontology is technically geology rather than biology So that means Jurassic Park etc is a rock opera.

Critcit. Short for Critter Citizen. Like Sovcit, but furry. "I think you'll find there ain't no law what says a dog needs a driver's license, officer."

I can’t believe they’re passing this off as news. This happens frequently in Bavaria and is known as Nacktschnecketürklingellaunisch

Was in a windowless almost empty discount grocery store and head familiar lyrics of Ian Thomas' "Pilot" drifting through the aisles... One by one they disappeared The minds of science, the nation's leaders To meet again at destination Sweating in their seats, anticipation

Backdoor Escape. Watercolour and pencil crayon on board. The mice are in big trouble and they need your help. More soon. Tally Ho!

1. Dark City 2. The Warriors 3. Streets of Fire All set in the same endless city. Dark City tells of the revolution, the Warriors is the lawless aftermath, and Streets of Fire is the city when tenuous order has been restored.

"Peter! Susan! Edmund! Lucy! Where have you children been?" "Narnia?" "What's Narnia?" "Narnia business."

Since we are making it clear! I love the transfolk in my life, and that category includes partners, friends and family.

I went to see Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and there were robots and aliens there.

Before the truth can get its boots on. "I’m just shocked by it,” he said in the interview Wednesday. “How quickly it can happen, how one’s name and photo can get spread around"

some part of Trumpism is older men trying to make it 1983 again by science or magic

That sure is a nice Rimworld colony you got there. Be a shame if someone was to add dehydration, urination and excrement requirements for your colonists. And water and sewage infrastructure. Yeah, that would end your little paradise right quick, pal.

"The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox" is a series about quirky queer-coded high schoolers who solve a mystery with the help of a magical talking cat.

Do Opera, without eye protection. (And don't forget the sunscreen.)

I got an email alert informing me of a correction in the dates of some Paul and Storm / Johnathan Coulton live shows and was like... is... is this from the past? Was it all a dream? Have my (relative) health and youth been restored? Are all my friends still on Livejournal?

Elon Musk's grandpa. I didn't realize that Port Perry was linked with chiropractics. torontolife.com/deep-dives/d...

The Tsar and the Son of Heaven overheard discussing the latest achievements of their court alchemists in the pursuit of immortality

The 2 PM announcement will be that the U.S. Department of Defence is henceforth known as Donald J. Trump's Department of War Fighters, brought to you by Palantir.

Well, boo.

In 1930, the US had over 250,000 miles of rail connecting EVERY city. It also had a significantly lower population density. In 2022 the US had about 93,000 miles of rail, less than it had in 1880. There are definitely issues with rail, but "population density" isn't one of them.

Today I went to a birthday party at an English Tea Room attached to an Italian Culture Centre that had been rented out for a big event for the local Hindu population, and yes, I like living in a country where this is normal.

Be cool everyone. Revelations says the Beast, following the injury to his head witnessed by the world, is "given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months."

Facebook: We are going to turn off your Professional Profile unless you opt in! Me: Okay. Turn off, please. FB: It's coming! You'll lose your followers! Me: Okay. Turn off. FB: THE DAY OF RECKONING! Me: Okay. FB: We left Professional Mode on because you have followers.

A couple showed up on a local anthro subculture Telegram and described themselves as members of the Freedom from Form Foundation and I was all "Is this a Puzzlebox thing?" (No, it is not.)

The reporter should be ashamed. Not a single use of the word "transnatation," which refers to the act of swimming across a body of water.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor a gaping, glistening, pulsating hole with a long viscous rope of mucus dripping from it. Nor indeed was it a tight, warm, velvety hole aching to be

Once again I unexpectedly find myself in that alternative universe where the colonies rebelled against Good King George.

Dont Re-Elect Them

There will be signs #pancakes

Happy birthday H.P. Lovecraft 🎂 🦑 #HPLovecraft

"Quote with a fictional place you'd want to move into, right now."

I had an uncle born in the 1890s. He lived long enough to have an obituary on the Internet. When I was in middle school, a neighbour told me she saw Halley's Comet in 1910, as a young adult. Encountering Tartarians of any age is vexing, but encountering ones older than me is mind-blowing.

Ordering camera parts from eBay, by country of origin... 1. Canada: 3 days to 3 weeks to arrive. 2. US: 1 to 6 weeks to arrive. 3. China: 3 to 12 weeks to arrive. 3. Japan: 10 messages from the sender apologizing for possible delays, arrives 2 days later.

Donald Wollheim, golden age SF author, editor and fan, one of the organizers of the first ever SF convention, spent much of his private life as a woman.

Protip! Movies from the 60s / 70s with ensemble casts are worth watching once. They are also mostly terrible. The worst ones were tone deaf attempts to tap into counter culture. The best were marketed to middle aged folks who liked seeing the Ritz Brothers working again.

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only.

Every tempest starts in a teapot, with the exception of THE Tempest, which starts on a ship.

Sound the Hey Horn!

If you happen to write software for a company that publishes financial data, you could probably make this happen. Just come up with a quaint, impeccably patriotic graphic of Rebecca Young and Grace Wisher sewing the Continental Standard together to use as the icon for personal/corporate net worth.

Day two of no internet and I have fully embraced the early 1990s. (Okay, granted the movie was on BluRay.)

My net has been down since last night and I have already devolved to watching news on local broadcast TV and listening to physical media.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

The first SF novel I specifically recall was the Panther edition of "I, Robot!" in third grade. However, documentary evidence exists of me reading the comic book version of The Black Hole about age 6.

Trump sending in the National Guard to clear out the homeless in DC is just a distraction from the real news about Trump using the National Guard to clear out the homeless in DC.

This towel I got as a freebie from a con comes with instructions. Woe to the fool who snaps their towel SIX times!
