a man in a suit and tie is talking about writers who use subtext and they 're all cowards Alt: Garth Marenghi's famous, "I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards." Actual more applicable quote: "I think what this episode shows is that the human spirit cannot be overcome. You know, as a writer, if you take away my paper, I would write on my heart. If you took away my ink, Iโ€™d write on the wind. It wouldnโ€™t be an ideal way to work."

Anti. "I gave it the kind of prompt I'd give a child: 'tell me about zombies.' It came back with some 'biologically impossible' nonsense. Go back in time, give Child Me that prompt. I'd have three books and a movie outline by the end of the week." Actual honest quote that backs that up in alt-text.

The sharp decline in US teenagersโ€™ aspiration to get married and have kidsโ€ฆ

โ€ฆis happening almost entirely among girls, not boys.

At some point maybe men will start trying harder to understand that.

Another indication that is past time that we demand that leaders in the heterosexual community do something about the pathologies and excesses of this decadent lifestyle choice.

So where's your legislation, Cory? Congress doing fuck-all is his third point. Get out your pen and starting writing up a bill eliminating ICE. Write up a bill that says the Supreme Court can't take bribes. Write one saying that government agents must always be identifiable. This is YOUR job!!!

Isometric fanart of multiple Majima Everywhere encounters from Yakuza Kiwami. Majima runs into Kiryu in different parts of a Kamurocho street corner in various disguises or hiding spots. Goromi, Hannya-Man, and 24-Hour Cinderella are among Majima's disguises.

I'm pretty sure I didn't need a big "follow back" button on my notifications page, since I think a lot of you are just bots.

Star Trek Voyager scene. We see the EMH Dr standing next to Neelix, a mostly bald humanoid alien with tall mohawk hair and ridged head that kind of looks like a hermit crab shell, and long lower cheek whiskers. They're standing in sick bay, Neelix is looking stumped, and the Doctor is standing next to him inquisitively looking at a tricorder. Closed caption reads, "Dizziness? Nausea? Unspeakable dread?"

A reminder for people who have latched onto Newsom:

- In 2012, VP Biden took a political risk and spoke out in support of gay marriage.
- That went okay, so Obama followed suit.
- Voters who'd previously opposed marriage equality were inspired to change their minds.

Leaders need to LEAD.

I think you want to look up the Colm Wilkinson version of the song, from before the show was finished.

wonder what they 'd pay for it up to the college written above a person 's hands Alt: Stephen King as Jordy Verrill in the 1982 movie, Creepshow, where he's collecting a meteorite in a bucket while thinking "wonder what they'd pay for it up to the college?" I think there's a typo in that quote, but it's hard to tell because the character in the segment (which was also written by King) uses incorrect grammar to indicate his low intelligence. The horror in the segment is brought by an infinitely consuming and reproducing plant (from space).

I assume they had to take some time to ensure the corpse wouldn't reanimate as some kind of undead ghoul to feed on the living.

Is it still "die quickly"? I'm guessing it's still "die quickly." It's what they've been pushing for what, 17 years now? Their lack of a plan is almost old enough to vote.

Surely this terrible reporter replied with "is that why you had to roll back those tariffs on beef last week? TACO Trump strikes again to undo 'tremendous success'?"
But of course not, because everyone is a coward.
