My boys gonna get some more friends soon.

Finished my LEGO kit this morning. The little bee is too cute

I was in a Lego store the other day and...I feel like Pixar/Disney/Lego are trying too hard to launder this guy's character. He tried to feed Woody and the gang into an incinerator! @sheaserrano.bsky.social you know what I'm talking about!

It's not just an issue of publishers deciding not to print mass market paperbacks, it's book distributors deciding not to put them into the retail chain. To be fair mmpb sales have collapsed by 80+% in the last few years. People might be nostalgic about mmpbs, but that's not the same as sales.

Determination and discipline reinforce the Empire as Dedra Meero and Colonel Yularen join forces in the Rebel and Empire Reinforcement Expansion for STAR WARS™: The Deckbuilding Game. Learn more about the Rebel and Empire Reinforcements Expansion: www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2026...

Ozymandias is a perfect poem bc it proves that no matter how powerful and historically significant you are a shitposter can show up and dunk on you so hard that people only remember you as the guy who got dunked on.

So there’s an Odyssey movie coming out this summer, they released a new trailer, and I laughed WAY TOO HARD at this comment… (As someone who has had to read both works multiple times…)

Hot take: I fucking love Barbara Gordon.

if I sign up for a marathon, can I just walk? I have endurance but not speed and I miss going on long walks/hikes (also my foot is deformed and my other leg has cerebral palsy so I cant really run lol)

Champion is the best "evil Superman" cause he's not like just a guy who kills people he runs The Club of Heroes, an elite organization of the best of the best & the whitest of the white males while posing as a crusading lawyer for the little guy in order to submarine & squash discrimination suits

Watching Women’s Softball and saw a shirt that said “OMG Becky look at that bunt”

Would be hella funny to have visiting foreign leaders reacting like this

There is a little too much emphasis on formal contracts between local police and DHS in the media. (Part of this is just the ability to quantify and data viz 287g agreements.) But, informal cooperation is wildly common and most people will never know. nysfocus.com/2026/05/07/o...

I think airports could be more liminal tbh, let's weird them up a bit.

If you never take anything else I say seriously then please, take this mesege extremely seriously and hear me when I say FUCK REFORM UK. I WANT THEM GONE, I WANT THEM OUT, I WANT THEM ALL BURNED AND SCATTERED. FUCK. REFORM. UK. VOTE THEM OUT

I think vacuum packing stuff is neat, it's like "this coffee is a brick now because we made the sky punch it"

He's annoyed I won't let him drink my coffee

And here is Berehk Stornbröw and a purple ork head. That was a fun paint ! Really like how this model turned out. (maybe I should paint a purple ork army for 11th edition?) #Warhammer40k #Votann #WarhammerCommunity

Dear #entomology BlueSky... I'm looking for help from an expert on European ants. Please help connect me :)

Dear Mr O’Leary, don’t ban my 6am airport beer

The incredible drop in homicides in Italy over the past 3 decades (~80%) deserves more attention. And it's happened in parallel with something else. Not implying causation, but Italy hasn't become a much more dangerous country as its immigrant population has grown. Quite the opposite.

"Where are my glasses?!" says the woman currently wearing her glasses.

If FIFA can make up a damn peace prize then this guy can have his philology prize.

I am immediately obsessed with this story, and the guy's defence. It's basically "what is the charge? Winning a medal? A succulent, definitely real medal?"

every time I eat pineapple I think about this post

I'm at the local cafe and oh my god.... oh my god (there are 10 but 3 wigglers were being held)

I love women so much we're gonna make it

For no particular reason, I once again had to share this quote from the legendary Phil Tippett with one of my dear colleagues. I should print this out and frame it.

A Memoir...

I think it is hilarious and charming that we’re doing Odyssey discourse. Bluesky, you can be all right.

Thank god for the dog

no i think i want to die on the hill about the potato gun

I feel like “it’s absolute horses” should refer equally to something good or something bad with its meaning imparted solely through a persons delivery of the line

Now that they have AI porn how can I tell if I'm jacking off to the real Shrek

OK, it makes no more sense to give Odysseus an American or a British accent BUT you have to remember that the RADA voice that Patrick Stewart's lot have is a made up accent for doing Shakespeare in. It's vaguely posh, but its main connotation is "the olden days". So it does work a bit better.

I should be working, and yet...

A student who sets out to write a research paper will now encounter chatbots who will offer to do their work in their word document, in their learning management system, in their email, in their web browser, and in certain library database interfaces.

i can’t tell if roberts is full of shit or if he is delusional and i’m not sure which is worse

These scumbags are wanting to make it so you can bet that someone is running a scam for their scam.

Having read it in 2014 in grad school, for therapy, I suspect we all memory holed it since it's thesis was a thing we all wanted to believe. Then, recommended it to clients for 10 years without ever rereading it ourselves. Then culturally it's "my therapist recommend a book, it must be good."

Jester Menace is my Jaeger name

I’m so sorry to ask, but we’re at the point where I need to overdraft in order to get groceries. Percy’s care was a little pricier than we hoped, and I have needed some medical stuff not covered by the NHS. If you have anything spare, it would mean a lot. ko-fi.com/elyssiabooks

The price of oil seems to be largely controlled by a single Axios reporter, which probably isn't a good thing
