I'm still just less than halfway through Ulysses despite being almost 400 pages in.

I wish people would stop asking, "What did you expect?" Or "Why are you surprised?" in regards to the Epstein files. We have a right to be outraged and pissed off.

Thank you!

Will someone PLEASE leak the Epstein files?

A cover I threw together my damn self for erotica using stock photos and Canva:

The only thing I have to say about the past couple days is "what the fuck" accompanied by a heavy sigh.

This year is beginning to seem endless.

Something tells me they're not going to include the mass animal murder of those opposed to Napoleon's ideology. I don't know why. Maybe because Seth Rogen is voicing him?

Or bad games that at least don't give money to powerful bigots?

I think someone missed the point of the original...probably multiple someones.

A comeback I was looking forward to about as much as Ned Fulmer's. Which is to say not at all.

Wow, Elon, you've never been funny in your life, have you?

All of Bluesky this morning:

I do not like your AI slop
I do not want this worthless glop
I do not read its overviews
I don't care what Grok says is true
I do not like it here nor there
I'm tired of it everywhere

Part of his recommended trip involves going to Liverpool. Not sure what that says.

No shade to leeks, I like leeks cooked into things. By itself seems like a lot, though.

A paragraph of text from the Rick Steves travel page on Wales with the phrase "eat a leek" highlighted.

I'm sorry, is the Rick Steves website recommending that I eat a leek by itself as a part of my Wales trip?

cinema_nasties 1d Al defenders are so embarrassing j.paulmonter 2h All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good. drachelbarr & 20h • •• Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output. Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity. Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

Man ~ "Shitty dudes are doing shitty dude things" is such an evergreen headline.

What fictional creature/villain traumatized you as a child? (among others)

I LOVE The Substance to the point of obsession. I can't remember the last time I watched a movie and knew everyone involved was at the top of their game. Directing, cinematography, acting, effects...just phenomenal.

i feel like one thing that we should be making abundantly clear from now on is that the majority of anti-trans consent manufacturers are goddamn pedophiles.

are you going to believe what a bunch of pedophiles say about us? what does that say about you?

*EPSTEIN* knew Trump was bad news and we still couldn't get rid of his ass?

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.
