It was the day my grandmother exploded. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

TIL about the Pennal Letter from Owain Glyndwr to Charles VI of France, and oh what an alt history that would make en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennal_...

Posting this with the greatest of respect to Dr. Goodall, who I am given to understand loved this cartoon

@umlauthuth.bsky.social made this because of me

The earliest representation of Thunderbird 2 leaving Tracy Island

CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right? IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If— CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother? IKARI: Look, let me answer the question. CHOTINER: Sure.

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

“Well, here’s your problem, this doll is switched to evil!”

I think I'm about to have to cut this Angela Davis quote from a talk for space, and yet...

How do I petition gweiadur.com to change the spelling of the Mexican salamander’s name to “acholotll” so it more closely matches the Nahuatl pronunciation

Now I want the absurdist cosmic horror film, like a comedy Beyond the Black Rainbow, for which these cats do the soundtrack youtu.be/vaG5tVnpkwc?...

Transgender ideology

No you fools! It was the only thing keeping these eucalyptus-scented drop-bears from killing us all!

Taking bets on who will write the “Charlie-Kirk-Lied” to be our new co-national anthem

ok well techno swords is like a progressive knife except its in 4/4

Honestly, at this point if the Epstein files are released and we *don’t* get Clinton too, I’m going to be a mite let down

It will be tough for Centrists to have their own Mamdani, given that one of his more appealing qualities is not scolding people for believing a better life is possible.

NYC Labor Day Parade

Malcolm Gladwell has always sucked and continues to do so. Willfully misinterpreting others is something he does in books and in life. Not even a heel turn.

I’ve been wanting a resource like this for ages! So excited to dig into this @medievalpenguin.bsky.social

Fortunately, you don't have to listen to *any* Nazis these days to enjoy the best recent Black Metal, and it might have been nice to mention that here!

Years ago there was an article in White Wolf’s house organ Inphobia about, basically, ludonarrative dissonance, and the author pointed out that—based on the combat chapter—Vampire: The Masquerade read like if Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire had be written by Tom Clancy.

isnt the phrase that a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich if asked? WELL

The site with all the ABBA videos? You mean BjornHub?

ok I synthesized a few ideas and I think I figured out how to explain basically all goth music

In all seriousness, I think there’s a good chance Trump’s military invasion of NYC fails when the guardsmen give up trying to find on-street parking.

The Breeders

You know what, I’ve never seen “Curator” used but having thought of it I’m rather enamored

Just saw a video where a guy said that the Expanse was just like “Lost or Game of Thrones”, the writers “were just making it up as they went and didn’t have any idea how it would end” except that the Expanse “somehow” stuck the landing.

Holding out for “Tohu wa-Bohu Soccer”

The Argento/Broadway Stages bribery scheme just keeps getting more inane

One can believe all of the following: 1. It is good that Gavin Newsom is punching back at Trump instead of caving 2. It is bad that Gavin Newsom hates trans people and homeless people 3. It would be bad for Gavin Newsom to be the nominee in 2028 4. It is good to discuss this now while we have time

Lightning flashed behind the clouds, webbing the sky like cat5 at a LAN party.

Kickstarter! Be better! I’ve stuck with Kickstarter through a lot of shit because the fine folks at Kickstarter United had my back - now we all have to have theirs. Sign this petition for a minimum livable wage and a codified 4 day work week for our colleagues at Kickstarter United.

Dysrhythmics

I remember when this issue came out, I remember not being able to parse it for a few minutes and then crying

Yeah, I’ll bite. 1 like = 1 TTRPG in my library

I like Dune but this is hilarious

@captainawkward.bsky.social I seem to recall an article back in the mists of time talking about if an stalker calls you 50 times and you answer on the 51st, now he knows that’s what it ages and will speedrun through the 50 calls. Any chance that was you? Or if not, that you might have a lead?

@qsy.bsky.social I promise I searched your feed for this before asking, but have you read @tkingfisher.com’s Sworn Soldier novellas (What Moves the Dead is the 1st one)? Because I just started them and they are, to my understanding, extremely your jam.
