There's a jewelry place near my work called Gorjana and it just sounds like the name of an orc

Thought I would get some work done today but I no-warning got 2 hours of meetings thrown on my afternoon after my lunch so I guess not today.

Yesterday @sphye.bsky.social made this connections out of nowhere and now this is how I imagine Simon and his dad meeting White and Farro later in life #BluePrince @dogubomb.bsky.social

"WHAT ARE WE FOR?" "Opportunity! Dignity! Democracy!" "AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?" "............"

I was taking a computer class at a summer camp and one day we would have to present and explain a website to the rest of the class and I picked the Nintendo website and on the day I was to present they changed the whole entire layout

Incredible chart from @propublica.org. If you don’t follow enviro stuff closely, your instinct might be that the hold-your-nose solution (carbon capture from fossil fuels) would be the “pragmatic” one versus covering Earth in solar panels, which seems utopian. In fact it’s the opposite

nothing confirmed and we’re already complaining about feeds being down we’re so fucking back #BB28

"If they're worth that much when they're losing money I better get in now because they'll SKYROCKET once they're profitable"

The decision of whether or not to send your kid to daycare is a big one, and not to be taken lightly. However, today my 3.5 year old said "chrysalis", a word I cannot even remember the last time I said

There's two possible reasons I can think of for why Square would have done this. 1: something was fucking up when they used full length blankets and they didn't want to put in the effort to fix it 2: they wanted you to see their feet

What Would Goku Do?

This is a truly beautiful video about a man's daily art project that he's been doing for most of his life, that hasn't actually been fully laid out and visible for 14 years. I truly mean it when I say that this is the sort of luxury that I want for everyone www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is8N...

But it's not my birthday OR Christmas!

me: technically baseball is parryslop my dad: i’m gonna assume grandchildren aren’t in the picture near term then

Ah, this should be it. Finally. The thing that makes him happy. Smooth sailing from hereon out.

Hey! Listen! Don't attack me like this. I'm 40 years old, I'm VULNERABLE

At the game shop/bookstore they had these pride flag bead stars and Juniper was obsessed so we let her get three and she chose Hetero, Lesbian, and Transgender which will be really funny in the future if that's the life journey she goes on.

If you're curious about Sofia the First, it's the most targeted-at-young-girls-show ever. She was just a normal girl in the village until her mom married the king and now she's going to a school for Royal Magic. She went there in a carriage pulled by a pegasus and her talking dog has a unicorn horn

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

The coins in Mario games are just yellow paint and no I'm not joking.

Kratos somberly reckoning with his violent and aspiring to be a better father while his dead wife is doing double jumps and air combos in another realm is so fucking funny. imagine if Laura Palmer was doing DOOM shit in the Black Lodge

90s James Bond movie: I'm Dr Rebecca Ass

Northernlion's stream of this was an all-timer

Found out via Battle.net that a former coworker has got married

For @zulliethewitch.bsky.social's streams, she has often superimposed her image over old thumnails for humor, e.g. "Everyone hates this stupid horse ->", but I saw some thumbnails from @theb1m.bsky.social that really made me chuckle thinking about them having the same treatment.

this is not funny, they (kennedys) only do this when they're in extreme distress

My manager used Giphy to post a gif from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in Slack and I'm trying to figure out if that was deliberate or coincidental

"Donald Trump filed a fake lawsuit against his own government so that that he could 'settle' it and give $2 billion in taxpayer dollars to reward January 6 rioters" is the kind of story that makes you sound unhinged if you say it out loud, but is also 100 percent accurate

Student loan forgiveness because the government is boosting AI which threatens the jobs they told people to go to college to get.

@hankgreen.bsky.social if we have teeth problems because our foods are too soft and we don't chew enough which makes our jaws smaller then should we be chewing gum more?

I'm rereading The Two Towers along with Shelved by Genre (@rangedtouch.bsky.social) and in last night's reading I read the word "dingle" (a small wooded valley) approximately 1 million times and it was never not funny "They entered the dingle" "The light shone through the dingle" "In the dingle..."

I played Magic The Gathering for the first time in 22 years last night because my work did a draft of the new set and I said "Why not" and I did surprisingly well. Though I suspect my hearthstone and in particular the hearthstone arenas I've done really really helped.

I can tell my manager is using AI to write communications because there's a lot more typesetting and formatting than there used to be

I've been playing Saros and have been really enjoying the difficult decisions it asks you to make, such as whether you'd like the power to "Super Load" or to "Absorb Load"

@patrickklepek.bsky.social @remapradio.bsky.social if I could nominate a theme song for the Baby Steps streams: music.youtube.com/watch?v=aWQB...

How many artists out there are thinking "If I can draw a horny enough group of characters someone will hire me for a gacha game"

Watching Adventuring Academy and I'm trying to figure out if Oscar deliberately or accidentally paraphrased something Tom Bombadil says. @dropout.tv

Siblings or Dating? Waldo and Wenda

How will I read the item descriptions in the Elden Ring movie?

So the Bluesky team is using AI to work on the site but I can't name a single feature they've added in a long time
