Slagador Spartacus

This reminds me of how David Lynch said he wanted to keep working but couldn’t because COVID posed too great a risk & people stopped being willing to mask up to protect others.

Ableism is an insidious evil in society & healthcare. It convinces us to abandon each other for profit & convenience.

Found this treasure in a box of old stuff. The collector in me says leave it, but the pragmatic in me says if you got it today, you don't wear it tomorrow.

From "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". Worf lies on the ground as Jadzia straddles him, her hands around his throat. They look violently longingly into each other's eyes. Jesus Christ, this is hot.

From "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". Quark lies on the ground as Grilka straddles him, her face inches from him. They look each other's eyes, sharing a smirk. She's going to tap that, possibly to death, and he's ok with it. [fans self at 5,000rpm]

From "Star Trek: Voyager". Janeway passionately kisses Kashyk. Their eyes are closed. Her fingers are gently in his hair. HNNNNNNNNGGG MOMMY!

From "Star Trek: The Current Generation". Spock and Kirk are doing battle. Spock is on the dirt ground with Kirk kneeling above him. Both of their hands are dangerously close at they each grip the long strong shaft of the lirpa. It is abundantly clear from how physical they get with each other that these two FUCK on the regular.

Agreed! Don't get me wrong, I love it when Star Trek gets sexy. I don't love it when Star Trek gets sexy for The Male Gaze™ or The Plot 🧼🧑‍🎤.

Like, Star Trek is definitely allowed to get horny, but there's a right way to do it:

New York Comic-Con Unveils Male Klingon Wearing A Skirt For Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Star Trek may not have had its wokest moment yet under Alex Kurtzman.

So the haters are already starting upset that a Klingon warrior is wearing a skirt. Well wait till they find out how Viking men dressed when they went into battle. Wonder if they think of them as "woke" fandompulse.substack.com/p/new-york-c...

I’m happy I didn’t live in the time where they called sex “whoopee”.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

We had to do all kinds of contortions to keep our feet out of this one.

Dr. Demento - Streaming

I won't go on & on about it. But what Dr. Demento put out into the world was special. It connected who knows how many people to music they didn't know they needed. to weird music. to big laffs, which we need. his final show will cost you three bucks, but it's priceless. 3/3 drdemento.com/online.html

so, this weekend the great Dr. Demento did his final show. I could write a lot about the importance of his show to me & my friends when we were 12 and 13. there's more to it than "he played funny stuff" and "his show is where @alyankovic.bsky.social got his start." 1/3

I’ll gladly ride the dick of whoever it was who invented tomato paste in a tube. 10/10 food innovation

Finding out that Jared Leto kept doing his method acting shit and insisted on staying in character on the set of Tron Ares and would only answer to the name of Ares is so funny, like making a big ass douche of yourself for the third Tron movie where you play “computer program that gains feelings”

YouTube video by Kousuke Atari - Topic Natsuyuusora

If you are feeling overwhelmed and in need of soothing, I offer Kousuke Atari. I discovered him through one of the most gentle anime in existence, Natsume Yuujinchou.

He is self-trained in the hyper-regional, lilting tradition of "shima-uta," or "island song."

Daytime scene on a rainy day in a large city on a riverfront promenade which is part of a public park, facing across a wide river; the river itself is actually a tidal estuary with mildly brackish water; all along there promenade is a curved safety rail, upon which hundreds of pigeons are lined up single-file, mostly of whom are resting with eyes closed; they are likely taking the opportunity to rest here because the rain has lightened some, and there is more heavy rain to come soon; in the distance is a smaller island which is still part of the same borough and has its own high-rise buildings; it is nice over there; the floor is all wet and the sky is overcast.

ICE/Border Patrol held a weapon on a guy who was demanding they show him their face in Rogers Park today

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu." Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

I think I've printed 300 so far. HMU if you need whistles or red cards!

Anyways donate to urbanreststop.org , a wonderful Seattle organization that helps provide showers and toiletries for those in need.

It also made me think about how people complain about the way ppl who live on the streets behave, but think about how uncomfortable they are all the fucking time, rarely if ever being able to wash or hydrate properly. I hated everyone and everything after just 2 days - this is a constant for them.

Not having hot water for 4 days was a good reminder of what a privilege it is to have it. I was uncomfortable and miserable not having it while remembering ppl who don't even have access to ANY water - not for showers, cooking, cleaning, NOTHING.

This is everything wrong with city government in a nutshell. Just so blinded by the solutions to real problems and distracted by silly gimmicks assuming we need to rethink the wheel. We need housing, places for recreation, places without cars, transit. We don’t need 10’ ai walls

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

There's a reason the right pronounce it anTEEFa and not ANTIfa.

Having a friend over for a soup date is top-tier.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

Cannot wait till I'm done with this mountain of laundry, this meal prep, and this choring.

Two carved pumpkins on a concrete front porch with a black railing. One pumpkin is on the top platform in the background, and the other is one step down in the foreground. The pumpkin in the background has a large opening with a cutout of the character Jax from Digital Circus. The pumpkin in the foreground has a wide mouth in a smiling shape with two eyes, the right eye (viewers left) is smaller than the left. The mouth and eyes are covered witl crocheted patches, which are sewn into the pumpkin through drilled holes.

A carved pumpkin at night sitting on the top step of a concrete front porch, with a black iron railing behind it. You can partially see the front door and sidelight of the house, and in the sidelight window there is a dog looking out. The pumpkin has a wide mouth in a smiling shape with two eyes, the right eye (viewers left) is smaller than the left. The mouth and eyes are covered witl crocheted patches, which are sewn into the pumpkin through drilled holes. The light from within the pumpkin highlights the crocheted pattern, giving the mouth a toothy yet ueven appearance, and the eyes the notion that they are filled with spiderwebs or some kind of hypnotic state.

My wife is simply brilliant.

A cookie sheet lined with tin foil is heaped with vegetables roasting, mostly tomatoes (cherry, vine, roma), a small onion, a red bell pepper, and heritage baby carrots, all sprinkled with salt, italian herbs, and drizzled w/ olive oil. Bundled in aluminum foil are a Fistful of garlic cloves w/ sunflower seed oil.

Sunday Soupday. The air smells like pepperoni pizza, which makes me think the secret to a really great pizza isn't the toppings afterall, but the sauce (although nothing beats a good crust.)
