I’m confused as to how either this or the Marilyn Monroe comment relate to a lyric by Tom Lehrer in a specific song about mathematicians and plagiarism..

Metro Goldvyn Moskva has purchased movie rights for 6 million rubles, changing title to "Eternal Triangle", with Brigitte Bardot playing part of CHCHCHCHypotenuse!

Since I haven't promoted this in a while: I started a "Folklorists Starter Pack" for the folklorists coming from Twitter/Facebook as those platforms become ensh*ttified. If you're still new to Bluesky, clicking "Follow All" will auto-follow anyone listed, as well as anyone I add later on.

Crows love raw meat and carrion (and especially eyeballs.) I certainly wouldn't be making recommendations on how to increase one population in correlation with decreasing the other.

unsweetened chocolate (cacao) is in the roots of latino-american cuisine, of course it makes chili amazing. But if you REALLY want to up your game, add cinnamon. We've been trained to think that cinnamon = sweet, but cinnamon = fragrant, not sweet. medieval chefs used it on meats/stews!! delicious!

I feel like the My Favorite Murder hosts were talking about a similar podcast recently? A very calming British man quietly reading out interesting facts, or something like that.

You had FOUR YEARS to hold the Trump administration accountable. To find judges that wouldn't obstruct. To un-corrupt the SCOTUSes, for fuck's sake. And now we have an incoming dictator. What, exactly, are you planning to do differently?? Bow the knee and pretend to take a different high ground?

Hey, fellow folklore-types - I've created a starter pack for us to help find each other quickly. As more of us migrate over, I'll continue adding (I don't know if others are allowed to do so, but if so, please do!)

i am both bitterly disappointed, and shrieking like a 5-year-old on 4 packages of pop rocks that one of my favorite authors said something directly in response to me!! this is a magical world!

Hey, i didn't realize how far off from Xitter you now were, so I'm wondering - has anyone poked you about the "Geeks for Harris & Walz" zoom (another zoom-encouragement call) being put together over there by, I sh*t you not, Lynda Carter? Tried tagging you and Wil W. on the announcement..

two comparisons of near-equal history-changing value:
- Dan Savage, destroying Rick Santorum's career with a new definition for "santorum". (Betting a bunch of you still know it, too.)
- Queen Tina Fey, taking down Sarah Palin so hard that people STILL mistake her lines for Palin's. Bye-bye Sarah!

god DAMN I miss Hunter S. Thompson. I would have LOVED to read his savage fulminations on Trump.. but i think it might have killed him to see..

I'd rather live in a state that uses my taxes to take care of ALL its people. I'm doing fine on my own, but I want children to be fed and educated, homeless to be housed, and medical care available for anyone who needs it. Thank god for the left-side states!

I thought I was the only one who cried when my latest rescue went from scarfing in 30 seconds and stealing everyone else's food, to ignoring a plate of food he didn't like! I knew then that he understood that there would be Enough for him, forever, and he wouldn't have to worry any more.
