The lesson for today - a word of praise is never wasted

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends in the United States. Today I am thankful that you are in my life. 🍗🦃

Love my US friends but the communication gap is real. Exhibit A: "not bad" is glowing praise lol

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

I mean...I think prayer matters, too - but, you need to act on it for it mean anything

Apparently there is a tshirt being sold online, in black and white, paper (white flat hand) beats rock (black fist). Just remember, scissors will always beat paper

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

Perhaps the two best anti-war songs ever written. respectful of veterans and their sacrifices, but refusing to glorify war.

Still rocks me that Looney Tunes did a better job of handling this history than 99% of politicians, textbooks, and media

one last boost for the morning crowd (I'm very excited about this, naturally)

I think MPs and departments of government should have to declare where they’re using LLMs and why — it’s not acceptable to use a stochastic language-producing machine to determine the courses of people’s lives

James Bond Writers Reveal Twist That Has Left New Creators With 'Huge Headache' When It Comes to Resurrecting the Super-Spy for Amazon radaronline.com/p/james-bond... They could reboot as a period piece and refilm all the books again, perhaps accurately this time.

I don't ascribe any real value to these terms or have any time for the world-view they spring from, but if I did, I would swear that noone could possibly look more like the very embodiment of a beta cuck than Nick Fuentes. He looks he was hat kid who hid under the bleachers to get a peek up skirts

russia claims: “We dominate the skies.” Ukrainian drones: Ohh… really?!

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: To mark the anniversary of the wreck of the 'Edmund Fitzgerald' on Lake Superior (November 10, 1975), here's Gordon Lightfoot's famous song about it—as covered even more hauntingly by the Punch Brothers, including Chris Thile singing and on mandolin. See you around.

Dan Simmons

Gone, but never forgotten. Fair and just, but never unkind. The kind of man I strive to be. Miss you, brother. #bwb #gamethrones #bwb

Or maybe it was because all the various Spidermans were simply *kind* to one another? Also, Hugh Jackman's abs. I can do without Reynolds.

Hmmm, my current hyperfixation has almost run its course, time to fiddle around until I find my next crusade

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

Is growing old just accreting a growing collection of ghosts to drag along behind you??

Season eight...transcends

True dat

This is 100% true. Even though if it isn't a fair maiden - I don't really give a rat's a*** for the "world" but I would die for *people*. To quote an incredible British film - people are what matters.

Wow. Unfollowing now. Did not know he sat at a typewriter and bleeds.

Omg. Omg.

It is almost there! Help us get it across the finishing line so that we can get paid to draw even more stupid, sexy amphibian artworks for Starot!

James Gunn, you bastard- every time. Right in the goddamn feels.
