KISS is Kidz Bop GWAR

The "hitting your face with hammers" thing isn't real, right? Kids didn't eat tide pods. Rainbow parties weren't real. The knockout game isn't a thing. This seems like it's just that again? Please tell me this is just that again.

Protecting my cat’s innocence by covering his eyes during the spicy parts of Heated Rivalry.

Yes yes yes yes yes. The USPS is not a business. It is a piece of the nation's vital infrastructure. Uniformity of postal rates and rules is part of the glue that ties the entire nation together. That is worth subsidizing.

It's good, actually, that there are times when your work can't reach you. We're already too plugged in. Being able to not engage with email or spreadsheets or Slack or other office nonsense because you're behind the wheel is nice. Don't mess that up.

Work kicked my ass. Time to decompress.

Thought this was Sub Zero from Mortal Kombat.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! It's weird that Leprechauns aren't in D&D.

There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down

According to my kid Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is "Too scary. But I like it." He gets it.

Just incredible shoebill awareness-raising from this Hong Kong teens' magazine

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

I had a great time with this preview. Portland Center Stage and Portland Playhouse are collaborating on Fat Ham: A Black, queer, modern reimagining of Hamlet. www.portlandmercury.com/spring-arts-...

I really enjoyed Natalie Wynn's deep dive into the Saw franchise and other issues surrounding horror and violence in media. It distilled a lot of what I love about that series and what I think is frustrating about it, and why sometimes it's okay to just enjoy sicko shit for fun.

I read the Bible.

we need more places where he can exist in public without being expected to buy anything, not fewer

Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

I hung out in a game store a lot in my 20s. In the subsequent two decades the guys from my old hangout have grown into: 1. What this thread basically describes (I guess that includes me). 2. The worst people you have ever met. 3. Trans women who were working stuff out while playing White Wolf RPGs.

This is such loser shit. It really is an administration by and for hyper-online right-wingers who’ve mistaken Twitter for real life.

Chotiner: walk me through your thinking here Victor Frankenstein: A new species would bless me as its creator and source. No father could claim the gratitude of his child so completely as I should deserve theirs. Chotiner: hmm. Could you give me some insights into your relationship w your mother?

This might be the last year of Lloyd Center. I wrote about some of the people who want to save Portland's iconic mall. www.portlandmercury.com/culture/2026...

God I loathe the Scary Movie franchise. It's insipid, but it's also redundant. Horror is funny already! Scream is basically a comedy. Good slasher kills are full of wit. Being scared often makes people laugh, and that's beautiful. This series just fundamentally doesn't understand that.

Doing the Lord's work there, more people need to discover this movie. It's such a gas!

If any of you know anyone who was directly involved with opposition to the Mt. Hood Freeway back in the seventies I'd love to talk to them.

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area. (15 in Manhattan btw)

My four-year-old is fascinated that letters make words. He keeps presenting me with seemingly random combinations of letters and asking me what words they spell. This must be what Borges' Library of Babel is like.

Actually, a literal coat of arms would be quite fashion. Very couture. Very vogue.

Call your reps today. Actually call them. They pay more attention to calls then emails. Tell them you oppose war. Push past your feelings of cynicism exercise the power you have.

In my utopian vision of the future, instead of offloading all the pointless, annoying work tasks (like reports that none one will read and needlessly opaque forms) to robots, we restructure work and society so that the pointless tasks don't happen at all.

A neighbor walked by while I was priming a 40K mini in my driveway. He asked “Is that for D&D?” and I just said “Yes.”

An editor just sent back a response "this looks great!" with several smiley face emojis so naturally I want to ask if she's mad at me.

My cat jumped on my desk during a meeting today. A coworker said “Oh! He looks just like Brad Pitt in Interview With the Vampire!” Everyone in the meeting got very confused. “Joe’s cat is a hot blonde guy,” she said. Reader, I will leave it up to you if Waffles looks anything like a sad vampire.

Birds do it Bees do it Other creatures in the trees do it Let's do it Let's create a residential structure using our own saliva

This is fun! I was able to follow back until 1200, with the caveat that starting at 1400 I had to read around in order to understand. After 1200 I had no idea.

(sea monster bio) You've probably seen my writhing in The Atlantic

The anchors in the NBC Olympics studio explaining they have to delay the slalom. Carmen Sandiago stole the freaking mountain. "Very little retail value" and "because she can" are phrases that are repeated. Footage of an athlete standing by a big hole, hands on hips. Frustration written on their face

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Hemingway was once bet that he couldn’t write the world’s happiest short story in just 5 words. He replied,

This is the coolest film-programming idea ever!

"Knock knock." "Who's there?" "Shark." "Shark who?"

We should either get rid of Presidents Day or add Congress Day and Judiciary Day. The three branches of government are supposed to be co-equal, dammit! The presidency is already too powerful. Being the only branch of government with its own holiday doesn't help.

slavery is one of the rare things historically where the more you learn about it the more you realize your initial assessment was correct and it was in fact one of the most evil things ever to occur

Happy birthday to horny people
