There were rumors of him and the tsarina and let me tell you, the early 20th century Russians were not looking at their anti-monarchist political cartoons at work and you shouldn’t either

Had a real “what type aircraft” moment today—Sabreliner 65 gave us a nice pass while making their way back to BAE in Mojave.

I was looking for discussion of the Dutch post because it’s also pretty odd—not really wrong in its central point but much of the argument & recommendations rest on an odd read—odd skim?—of Dutch geography (plus some of the “not even wrong” issues like Mlynarik points to in his Swiss example).

Appropriately the old post is *perfect* for Eric Adams, who I remember briefly being The Future of the Democratic Party

Although I remain disenchanted with this site as a whole I would like to thank @cheatlines.co and @mrbtx.bsky.social for maintaining delightful and sane-making feeds to scroll and upvote through on a tough day

Feel insane looking at this bc whenever I’m in The Grove’s Barnes & Noble the place is filled with teen boys in dumb haircuts looking at books.

what if Donda West doesn’t go in for cosmetic surgery

I very much do not miss the constant patter of minor Trump news and reactions but I do have to admit I’m glad I visited on Lada day.

I was actually shocked at how much not-quite-quitting-but-rarely-visiting this place just improved my ground state, and how easy it was to not log back on.

I described this to someone as the “Bluesky’s broth problem”—you can be a cool carrot and only follow cool carrots, but you’re getting softened up like everyone else in the soup. It’s why, despite only following this site via a whitelist, I’m really only here if there’s a specific reason to be.

One of those is the square orifice on the predator, something that seems simple and natural when you see the whole animal but it’s also a square, just not what you’d expect on an organism, so completely alien

I switched to a different brand of safety razor, was not ready for the *much* more aggressive angle, and spent a good chunk of late June and July dealing with the aftermath (Merkur 37C I’m never wandering again)

Logging back in mainly to inform @cheatlines.co that watching Nope has somehow become a birthday weekend tradition for me and it’s always so good to watch a movie that does so many *tiny* things perfectly

This has been true here *forever* (I can’t believe I posted this well over a year ago!) but over the past week I’ve started thinking people’s brains really are starting to cook through and I try for <15 min per day here now

Just socially you see it too, especially in social networks where people who would be insta-blocked if outsiders are well-liked within their in-group (part of why I came close to deleting my account over the weekend)

Tag yourself I’m the one illegally selling maps to the Dutch

Let's just do it and be legends DJ. Sakoku America, they're calling it Sakoku America folks. The Emperor is in Mar-a-Lago and Shogun Miller will keep us all safe and free from outside influence

Same with the original Top Gun

damn that’s great

this one is the best I have ever seen with my own eyeballs

Recently watched Episode IV for the first time in many years and after they escaped the Death Star I was thinking, “Uhh, when are you guys going to sweep for bugs?”

The uber sticker’s icing on the cake

This is basically verbatim of what my dad used to say, very good to see as he can’t say it anymore

I used to give a lecture on remote sensing technology and would use Barry Lyndon to explain stuff about how cameras work (it’s very useful for that but I never had a student who’d actually seen the movie)

My Man Godfrey
Long Goodbye
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Dogtooth

Just amused at an Indian guy from East Africa sparking Middle East-North Africa discourse

stu @rinbcage Philip K Dick movies all have names like CORTICAL IMPASSE and are based on short stories called like "Let's See What's Going On Down at the Brain Factory" 4:13 PM • Dec 13, 2020

returning to “let’s remember some tweets”

Definitely time to close the app

This guy’s brain is like the BlueSky version of that cheese from Corsica

I am generally not the kind of guy who thinks this is a bug deal but I just can’t buy Tom Holland as a guy living in Greece before the Dorian invasion.
