Of all the things to be shot to, death was always the one I wanted to avoid

this truly is the thing that makes the united states exceptional, and right wingers hate it so much they want to destroy it

a lot of the pundit class is constantly saying "what is the one liberal tenant that democrats must vigorously denounce in order to win the next election???" and the answer at the moment is "mercy"

ICYMI: @ludictechnologies.eurosky.social composed a stunning #shapenote setting of the hymn from chapter 9 of #MobyDick, and @dkfeerick.bsky.social and I made a basement recording as proof of concept. (Fran has also very kindly made a PDF of the score available for local singings that want to try)

Bram Stoker's Ruth's Chris' Steak' House'

I compartmentalize the horror re: the violence and destruction right now which leaves me with only what I can't, which is how much I loathe these guys for just who they are and how they talk and what they love and how they chose to live and their putrid culture etc. I just really hate these guys.

Anyone remotely interested in fantasy should read The Black Company by Glen Cook. People call it grimdark but that's not right — it's what you'd call "street-level" in superhero comics, about grunts in a war between mad sorcerers who behave like the world's worst bosses. I wrote about it once!

Man, two all-timers in the space of a month. Nice job, New Yorker cartoon editors. The idea of this one is brilliant, but the execution is maybe even more so—getting the figure in the coffin to read both ways like it’s supposed to is something.

Rare cosmic horror Nancy drop

I feel like it would be a fantastic way for me to remove tension from my body if I could do a Godzilla scream. It must feel amazing

I imagined thrash metal from band logos, photos and reviews in Hit Parader and Metal Edge before ever hearing a single minute of Metallica, let alone Overkill or Kreator.

EGRETS? YEAH I HAVE A FEW. (unleashes flock of triumphant, long-necked birds from the struggling waistband of my oversized pantaloons)

[at the last judgment] JESUS: And the baby prisons? EVANGELICALS: to own the libs, right JESUS: And the libs, who are they EVANGELICALS: uh mostly illegal aliens. if we really hate a pretty girl we call her fatherless. some widows JESUS: Alien, fatherless, widow, got it. So you see these millstones

im not voting for anybody that doesnt have the balls to throw this skin tag in a dungeon

me (at the water cooler): hey man, get up to anything fun this weekend? Grace Jones' brother: I hung out with my sister, Grace Jones.

The idea of a normal guy whose sister is Grace Jones is so compelling

The Wellness industry has the same greed as the biomedical industry but nothing it sells you actually works

Aside from the embrace of Wellness Eugenics I think RFK jr's moves all make sense if you are trying to destroy actual medical industries and replace them with wellness snake oil. We can all agree on the greed of the former but at least they create actual usable products
