hooplehead sounds like something the grinch would steal from whoville

Saw a comment calling the Whale Probe in Star Trek 4 Lovecraftian and rather than bother some poor stranger I will inanely vent that it is very clearly more of an Arthur C. Clarke’s Rendezvous with Rama sort of thing

Showing the girlfriend how to airbrush 40K miniatures.

If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. Join in a very dumb annual tradition and start 2026 off on the right hoof.

Sculpture by Korean artist Do Ho Suh, 2010s-20s, whose fabric structures recreate the places he has lived, reflecting on broader concepts of migration and what makes a "home".

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993-1999): USS Defiant, art by Jim Martin

Knew someone from Portugar once

Will note: this is probably the direct result of workshy Bari Weiss waiting until Friday before a Sunday air date to spike the story. International rebroadcasters probably get the recordings early to vet locally and run through local standards and practices. She forgot and no one told her :)

the government should not be forcing state agencies to have "an AI component" to anything, generative AI is an unreliable and unproven new technology, there's literally no justification whatosever for a whole-of-government embrace of its use

I like that she's dressed like a command and conquer fmv cutscene character

Since we’re getting close to the end of the year, here’s my personal favorite illustrations I did in 2025! 1/3 #tbt #flashback #throwback #artist #イラスト #fanart #イラストレーター #イラストグラム #anime #animeart #animeartwork #animeartist #animedraw #animedrawing #animedrawings #animesketch #animefanart #manga

I have to say I think it was a mistake putting Barry White in charge of CBS News. Great singer but he’s no journalist, and he’s been dead for 20 years

The Odyssey trailer is putting me in mind of classic film sword and sandal epics. Like for some reason the late period Robert Siodmak movie he made when he went back to Germany with Orson Welles as Emperor Justinian I m.youtube.com/watch?v=6GwH...

Clara Bow in a still for No Limit (1931).

[TATu "all the things she said" voice] yoshi is a horse yoshi is a horse yoshi is a horse

It must be such a surprise to learn that the guy calling himself a wallet inspector isn’t really a wallet inspector

The RDA said the Na’vi keep killing all their soldiers/whalers so I asked how many soldiers/whalers they have & they said they just get more soldiers/whalers sent from Earth afterwards so I said it sounds like they’re just feeding soldiers/whalers to Na’vi and then they started crying.

These are all wonderful. But even above the iconic Russell artwork is the unauthorized 1971 set by the Mad Prince of French illustrators: the magnificent Philippe Druillet. Druillet's Elric vanished in lawsuits, with many of the pieces resurfacing in his astonishing if incoherent Yrgael/Urm The Mad

The first trailer for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is here 👀 In theaters July 17, 2026

there is no greater act of projection than those who seek to end Irish neutrality calling those who seek to preserve it a "loud minority"

I am beginning to think the Irish government wants to see race riots

How it feels during the holidays when you’ve spent them alone for years after the people you loved died.

*gasps and clutches laptop screen* GIVE IT ME

Not many people read Bari Weiss, but everyone who did was in an upper tax bracket.

Probably because he was on a poster of ‘great Irish writers’ in my English classroom I always presumed that Samuel Beckett was an old timey guy like Oscar Wilde and WB Yeats but no he was knocking around in the 80s driving Andre the Giant around and listening to House music

You know how in Murder, She Wrote, Jessica Fletcher is always going to the aid of her niece or school friend’s daughter or whatever in sorts of locations? There should be a modern mystery series where someone is going to the aid of all their internet friends all over the world.

Hey artists!! Post some art you made from before Bluesky!! #LightWave c. 2007

Back when I was childless, I could be vaguely dismissive of art aimed at kids that I found good-not-great, and now that I _have_ a child, I'm, like, "Frozen is an American masterpiece because at least it's not this weird fucking computer slop my kid found deep in the bowels of Netflix."

Absolutely devastating news about James Ransone. I don't even know what to say. Sending all my love to those who knew & loved him.

I guess now we know what the Seed Bearer meant.

I don't get those 'wow ai music is so impressive' people. Why listen to that when you could listen to Alvin Curran (your choice may vary here) you hear any Alvin Curran I'm gonna listen to more Curran next year,

THEY'VE PUT ME ON THE POCKETSTATION COOP. I'M BEING RENDERED IN A 32 BY 32 GRID OF MONOCHROME PIXELS. THE BOYS BACK AT QUANTICO SAID THEY'RE GOING TO RELOCATE ME TO A "DOKO DEMO ISSYO" UNTIL THEY CAN GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT.

You know I'm okay with Potter not being punished in A Wonderful Life. Guys like him don't lose, not really (not normally anyway) George Bailey's legacy was to make many people's lives materially better, not upend the social order. The whole ending feels more earned that way.

I'm very partial to a lot of the classic era Yamato stuff, so 'movie made by a lot of the same team sans Leiji Matsumoto but pretty similar' has a fundamental appeal I should circle around to at some point.

Remember Michael Torke? Yeah. Big Remember Michael Torke night

if the corniest white boy can become one with Eywa and the people... perhaps there is hope for us all

Noir and Madlax were my jam back in the day. Sad girls with guns and Yuki Kaijura soundtracks. Moodily beautiful. Gotta watch the third one, El Cazador de la Bruja, one of these days

Something that bugs me a little way is whenever someone says the latest micro-event du jour will 'be in the history books.' Did you read those things? They don't have the blow by blow of like every Know Nothings screed in the 1840s. History books are gonna distill these years into Big Picture notes

Learned important French historical facts from an educational game called 'Asterix' #ScanlineSunday

oh my god awful. RIP James Ransone, Ziggy in The Wire, Eddie in It Chapter 2, Deputy So and So in the Sinister movies variety.com/2025/tv/obit...

Mads Mikkelsen reveals he helped his brother Lars Mikkelsen (Thrawn in AHSOKA) build a LEGO Death Star for Christmas.

I’m at the IFI, where I first saw this film oh, a long time ago now, to see it again.

It can't be a primary source, and wouldn't tell us anything about a secondary source we wouldn't already know or be able to find easily. That's before we get to the "it's a black box drawing from an unknown provenance that routinely invents fake sources" problem.

David Lynch and Jack Nance on the set of ERASERHEAD (1977) Nance was BOTD in 1943
