You know what is a weird thing I miss about regular TV seasons?

Obligatory seasonal holiday episodes.

Like, no one dropping 8 episodes in July is going to give you an unhinged Halloween ep, a totally inappropriate murder on Christmas ep, and probably some weird Valentine's Day nonsense.

One of the weirder things about Sliwa is that he is an OG right wing paramilitary operative in ways that Trump is at least in theory trying to emulate with the current iteration of ICE and violent currents within MAGA but neither recognizes any kind of kinship with the other.

honestly would watch a mr t documentary, this is all bananas

its funny how fluoride gets a bad rep when it's the most "natural medicine" discovery.

Scientists were like "some mountain kids got invincible teeth, lets test their spring water. Oh weird, the invincible teeth mountain spring water has fluoride in it, lets give it to everybody"

To this I would add:

Prodigy was launched in 1984 and arguably the first true precursor of the public community/social web as it is today.

Guess what much of it's early growth was built on:

Women talking Star Trek, fanfic and Kirk/Spock slash.

(To the confusion of its corporate backers)

Iconic as anything plus Boris Karloff at the beginning & in a truncated “Chim Chim Cheree” at the end

This is the very first appearance of Dr. Teeth, on March 18, 1975, promoting the upcoming MUPPET SHOW: SEX & VIOLENCE special. It’s remarkable to see how comfortable Jim Henson was both performing & improvising this brand new character, & just how fully-formed he already was...

i actually have been thinking a lot about vance's attempt to downplay the young republican nazi group chats and it's instructive that a lot of ppl's interpretation of how "cancel culture" works was "you did a wrong thing and now you are being punished by having something taken away from you"...

SAM NEILL GENERAL JOHN MACARTHUR If you were to commit a murder, how would you do it? It's got to be big! No slipping something into someones drink, that's just pathetic. I'd use a steamroller, just leave a stain on the road. There's probably a couple of people I'd put under a steamroller, but I won't say who they are, otherwise when they see a steamroller coming their way they'll be on full alert. And steamrollers don't go very fast...

Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially

this is incredible bc i assume it's academically rigorous but it's also two italian academics who have spent most of their careers outside italy and sometimes do stuff w/italian academics in italy and being like "damn bitch you live like this? we spend 10,000 words investigating why"

Oh I recognize this trope, this is the one where a dumbfuck executive tries to monetize other people's volunteer labor, while vastly overestimating what people would be willing to pay for it (nothing), driving the company they bought off a cliff! It's a sub variant of enshitification. Classic!

a tweet i saw that really opened my third eye said basically that there's no such thing as red states and blue states, there's just states where the big city/ies that everyone else hates are a big enough portion of the population to dominate politics and states where they aren't

genuinely unfair that the greatest baseball player of all time is also incredibly handsome. at least babe ruth had the good grace to be an uggo

That one elephant from Care Bears, looking buck ass naked. He’s peeking over his shoulder, with all attention drawn to the heart on his ass.

The category is “Care Bears frames that were obviously based on Robert Mapplethorpe photographs.”

I am extremely jealous.

Actress Mia Goth was born #OnThisDay in 1993. She wore this sumptuous Kate Hawley designed blue silk and taffeta gown, inspired by X-rays, as Elizabeth Lavenza in Frankenstein (2025). There is arouns 60 metres of fabric in the skirt alone! #Frankenstein #film #costume

I was feeling contrarian even though I agree so I went "ok but what's the single best episode of Trek" and thing is it might be Duet, and then I was like " alright what about the best character" and yeah, that's probably Garak, unimpeachable take

My best advice to try to get a handle on shit right now?

Make something.

Don't care what. Don't care if it's good. Don't care if it's just a big ass house you made in Sims 4, just lose yourself in something for an hour or so.

It' s like flushing the brain toilet.

The Brattle Theater in Harvard runs yearly Looney Tunes festivals and they're always packed. Families in the daytime, adults at night. Always a good crowd. People will make a day out of it. Easy money to preserve them digitally unless you're manipulating tax writeoffs for a fire sale acquisition.

Mark Mothersbaugh, with DEVO at El Mocambo in Toronto, Ontario, October 25, 1978

The band played a setlist that included cover songs like "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones and their own songs like "Jocko Homo" and "Mongoloid."

I'll alow it, as long as his dog Decoy gets to run bases for him.

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

hey so for once there's an actual happy update to something

our local ice cream guy came home and he's getting a green card

Emma stone covered in white powder in Bugonia

tried wearing the right amount of zinc sunscreen today

so here’s the thing… given Sinema and Fetterman, baseline skepticism about someone like Platner was warrented. There is simply no way absent a voting record or other evidence to know what he actually would do as Senator…

Ok its gonna be Dodgers in 4 now that the walking jinx of Canadian sports is here

There are so many wonderful things we want to say about @realgdt.bsky.social's FRANKENSTEIN. Every frame filled with love for the source & many other creative people. It is a gorgeous GRAPHIC (as in design not gore) movie. The color story is sumptuous. The final scene healing. And then this...
