Okay, who are your favourite Clothesline/Lariat throwing wrestlers?

It’s Leslie Nielsen’s birthday & this is still the greatest gag in the history of comedy.

I have just realised that the last wrestling media/writing thing that I did was writing about the Undertaker.

This cannot stand. I need to rectify this.

Thats 1 of the main reasons why they stand out.
They almost feel like the old Josh Kirby Discworld covers where there are so many details that you can just pour over the images trying to predict what each bit represents.
Although often those Discworld covers felt like Kirby used artistic license.

The cover of the hardback edition of Adrian Tchaikovsky's Pretenders to the Throne of God. It is a mixture of silver, blue and black with the central image showing soldiers using a cannon to target a city with a lighthouse. The 4 corners have images of a lizardman in a great coat, an almost skeletal soldier with a great axe over one shoulder, a soldier with an eye patch and a slathering lizard.

The covers for @aptshadow.bsky.social 's Tyrant Philosophers series are maybe the best in the business right now.

Joe Wilson is incredible at having these detailed, eye catching and very distinctive designs that whet your appetite for what is inside.

Didn't James Gibson do one in RoH?

Both bunnies and perpetrator were foiled.

When I was younger I dated a Matryoshka doll, but it didn’t work out. She was too full of herself

Amazing article, 2 thoughts
1) absolute cosmic horror fuel (as per Ethan’s note)
2) they gave it to mice. Did the mice see mouse-sized people or even tinier mice?

This is a lovely and quite beautiful story. I hope after I die, my bones get to go on further adventures too

Holy hell, what an obituary

Definitely need to catch thatbslat some point

Someone's just 1.27 centimetred my joke about cockneys and the metric system.

No Google AI overview, these are NOT the Florida Brothers that I was looking for!

Babylon 5 rewatch notes:
S1 E2 is a pretty basic stand alone but drops in some breadcrumbs that add intrigue to Delenn
S1 E3 is better. Some of the character building dialogue is a bit off but Peter Jurasik's Londo has stood out as the most captivating character so far.

Ha ha ha ha yes but irl

MAGFest is for the sickos

BABYLON 5 rewatch project

S1 E1 - The cgi has aged, some of the acting is noticeably ropey and the dialogue is a bit too blatant exposition.

But its pretty bold to accurately describe how main characters will die 15 minutes into the 1st episode.

this is a good excuse to post my all time favorite Star Trek meme

I had the Matsudai Sunset Tonkotsu today.
And the Shoyu Triple Yuzu Ramen yesterday (the closest that I have come to finding a match for my favourite ever ramen, the Afuri Yuzu Shoyu Ramen).

Oh, the one next to the Japanese Sword Museum!
I knew it felt familiar!

On the stairs of Korakuen Hall. Shocked there’s not a fuckton of ads all around it.

Okay, I have to know. Which garden was this? I thought it might be Kiyosumi but I don't think the angle on the Sky Tree is right.

Kieran went with the Shoyu, which is the not spicy one.

Oh, I love that idea. Also, love seeing T. Kingfisher in there. Paladin's Grace and What Moves the Dead are both so good, in very different ways.

Congratulations!

This week's Oktobersketch vignette. All quiet on the front.

In todays tech fails, I set up my DVD player with a monitor only to realise that the monitor doesn't have speakers...
