This is a masterclass in rage bait, because if you read the article it’s a legit question and if you don’t it’s the stupidest thing imaginable

This is an excellent "No, hear me out..." article. I haven't seen It or The Running Man, but I like where this is going.

Day two of Scotland Loves Anime brought You're Under Arrest: The Movie, and it was a blast. It’s a 90s classic, but the best part? You need zero background knowledge to enjoy this high-energy action-comedy. #sla

the single most annoying thing about cigarettes, which are terrible and will kill you, is how fucking cool people can make them look I mean come on

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it. All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference. Tanks

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

RIP Teen Vogue’s marxist era 🥲

Currently carrying handfuls of nuts in my pockets because I never know when I'm going to be immobilised by a sleeping cat and miss a meal. A totally rational diet plan I'm sure.

Gamers! I just backed this effort to raise a memorial in Lake Geneva for Gary Gygax. My friend Paul Stormberg is running it, and he could use your help! www.kickstarter.com/projects/617...

Currently working from my sofa instead of my desk so the cat-who-isn't-mine can curl up next to me. The choice between a second monitor and cute kitty snores is no choice at all.

I haven't stopped laughing at this. Because it gets better a few pages later

happy 10 year anniversary to one of the most prophetic tweets of all time @cavalorn.bsky.social

Fascinating to learn of Brian Friel’s Translations being staged in Senegal.

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

First two weeks of my new weekly Patreon comic is up and are free to read (the black and white and green version will be free, but parallel to that I’m doing a full colour version for patrons) come follow along at Patreon.com/pauljholden

I am very much looking forward to putting this on my wall. Many thanks @pauljholden.com for the art and the chat! #octocon

Rent made! Thanks everyone for buying comics during an unofficial recession! Here until 4 this crisp Saturday to log more comics and not-comics and now that the landlord’s paid… maybe I can get paid? THE DREAM littledeercomics.ie

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Let's talk about Dublin's 2029 Worldcon bid! Our bid chairs, Marguerite and Brian, are inviting you here to our meet up at Octocon, at 3pm on Saturday in the Grain and Grill bar. We hope we see you there.

At @octocon.bsky.social for a great day of conventioning! Have a blast.!

“I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious … She’s been a little under the weather and I simply asked for prayers bc I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up.”

Absolutely vile. Not that I want to overload the fine people at @booksupstairs.bsky.social with work at this fraught moment, but consider sending some business their way to show support.

Lunchtime reading: issue 7 of @wyrdscience.bsky.social, which just arrived. Might be the best yet. Features on Rick Priestley, Undaunted and Cold War RPGs, an excellent column from @jameswallis.bsky.social and much more. If you like tabletop games and you haven’t subscribed, you’re missing out.

I was a Junior in Wooster High School in Ohio. I was in a class where we were taught to create Crystal Radio sets, requiring an antenna and earphones. I plugged my set in and the first thing I heard was “Kennedy has been shot.” I dropped the earphones; afraid I had made the radio incorrectly.

News that I've been holding inside for so long - genuinely excited for others to read this one (I may have used spousal privilege to get early access)

I adore that this is flagged as adult content. Is it for the (minimal) nudity or for the awkward eye contact?

IMAGINE IF THIS WAS THE ENTIRE ORIGINAL PAINTING!

Always repost cheesecake boat

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

I cannot overstate how deeply ingrained this opening is in my soul.

Online ticket booking for my truly excellent, ground-breaking, and totally not made up as I go along talks at @tabletopscot.bsky.social closes at midnight tomorrow. Although, there will be space for those who turn up on the day. But, booking in advance makes me feel wanted.

"Bluesky is dying" Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.

Big Weekend for my little book. If you’ve been waiting, please grab it today or tomorrow. :) Debut week sales figures matter. ✊🏽 @sacurrent.bsky.social has an interview w/ Leigh & me about THE INVISIBLE PARADE. One of the best interviews anyone has ever done w/ me. www.sacurrent.com/arts/san-ant...

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

A sleeved tunic, made from linen, from Egypt, Roman Period, 4th century AD. The garment, designed for a child, likely around five years old, has survived remarkably well due to the arid climate. The tunic's design allowed for adjustments as the child grew. 🧵 1/2 🏺 #archaeology 📷 me

www.reddit.com/r/transgende... Guess what? The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions. Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her? Read her own account here.

A new long-term study is out today that got covered by the NYT, absolutely destroying their own recent story about cash not helping poor kids. “This is easily the biggest impact on child survival that I’ve seen from an intervention that was designed to alleviate poverty." 45% ⬇️‼️ archive.ph/ct2o0
