Second anniversary of our Apple TV’s spectacular attempt to understand me asking for “Hercule Poirot’s Christmas”

it’s for exactly this reason that my library network’s catalog system does not retain patron borrowing data, or even permit the creation of linked “family” library accounts. the “free” in “free public library” means, among other things, “free from government interference.”

Just watched Hellsing Ultimate. I think the idea for this anime was "you know those super cool, baddass scenes that most animes build up to that are just so amazing? Lets make one that is just nothing but those scenes all the way through." and the result is just really monotonous.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

John Oliver really was not kidding about the overwhelming rebellious power of just saying “Fuck you, make me.”

To whom it may concern: I have now taken enough graphic design classes to have a favorite typeface. It is Baskerville. None of the "what your favorite font says about you" websites list it to tell me what type of hipster I have become though 😢

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

*spins this chair around* I heard you kids love getting "all bricked up," so you'll love The Cask of Amontillado.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw. ( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

"FBI says people dressed as ICE agents are committing a string of crimes" we know, they're ICE agents, we're all watching it too

Guys, listening to my Russian revolution podcast and the tsar is doubling down on ignoring the hunger of the people and ordering his troops to fire on them while his sycophants in control of the legislature flail around. Anyway, anything happening in the news?

My partner meticulously rate every book they read and this is the first time they've checked *every* box for a book @chucktingle.bsky.social

I'm so mad that this was actually just Saruman what the fuck this was supposed to be an off-brand wizard

So the president responded to No Kings protests with AI video of himself wearing a crown and shitting on America, then the next day ordered construction companies to start tearing down the white house. I really need to stop worrying that the symbolism in my book is too heavy handed to be realistic.

the thing about metaphors is that they're supposed to be subtle

Feels like this will be a useful meme for the next few years

if this political poster is any indication that the universe is trolling us, the next iteration of the resistance will be the ho movement

antifa descending en masse upon (Communist) Party City

"This website is free" No. This website comes at a terrible cost

just some history, apropos of nothing >_> www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYeF...

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch. I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

I’m a sewage system. I also have a great personality.

The entire aim of my current novel, hope i pull it off

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

OUR SOCIETY IS RUN BY INSANE PEOPLE FOR INSANE OBJECTIVES I think they're all insane, you know, but I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that, you know? That's what's insane about it. I mean, don't you agree? #powertothepeople

So, now you can see the thestrals. #charliekirk #HP #HarryPotter

Damn, I hope those etsy witches got five star reviews. That is some banger results and just a two day turn around. #news #charliekirk

I'm currently wrting a book that was like what if Kafke was american and... and i really need real life to stop giving me material for it.

I cant wait to see what happens next in this book… oh shit I’m the author, I need to figure out what happens next in this book! #BookSky #ShitAuthorsSay

The movies don't really get into it, but it's worth remembering that Denethor went crazy because he spent too much time doomscrolling on the Palantír and it cooked his brain

“Max Weber said that dealing with unintended consequences of your actions is what political responsibility is.” – Sarah Wynn-Williams, Careless People

Every day, the news from the United States is like: ICE is vacuum-packing puppies. Freckles are illegal. Finally, you can replace your kids with AI. Elon Musk has bought all the whales. Trump's blood replaced with formaldehyde. Entire CDC staff drowned in paddling pool. RFK Jr eats zombie.

Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,

I'm calling it the mail loneliness epidemic

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

Its wild to say this in 2025, but the senate and scotus are full of royalists. Wild to realize that it took almost three hundred years for us to properly lose the revolutionary war.

The core of silicon valley altruism is that all the socialist things the left want are good--in the future. But in the present it is always better to invest everything into the R&D to achieve it. The future will be so good forever that it out weighs any short term cost and suffering.

absolutly yes, but tropes i love: "She's in mortal danger! Lets not tell her, because I hate her and it will be funny to watch."

A landlord turned off Tenant Client's family's heat upon learning Client was an immigrant. Landlord hired three different law firms to argue this was legal, then fired each one after they couldn't get our case dismissed. This week, landlord settled for enough that Client will buy a house.

after two weeks of this, he finally speaks up. "I'm sorry, but I have to ask- why do you buy the paper every day but only look at the front page?" "I'm just checking for something." "what are you looking for?" "an obituary." "sir, the obituaries are in the back." "not the one I'm looking for."

a man buys a newspaper, scans the front page and then throws the whole thing away. the next day, he returns, buys the paper, checks page 1, throws it away. the day after that, same thing. the newsstand worker is puzzled but doesn't comment. [...]
