Defenestration Now

Something visually stunning like a Del Toro
CRIMSON PEAK maybe?

I've seen enough. Clearly this experiment is working. It is time for a Michael C. Jordan.

With all y’all in this fateful hour,
I call on all heaven with its power

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

Listen
Some of the best Indian food I have ever had in my life was in LINCOLN FUCKING NEBRASKA

I knew exactly which three lines you were referencing without even looking

Happy birthday adventure girl

Approximation Function is the name of my Daft Punk cover band

Being so far in the future on the other side of the Federation’s collapse has really opened up some new stories about cultures we thought we knew

Also, I appreciate how much these characters Get It On - very Kirk/Riker vibes

Roy Kent is the definition of kind but not nice

Wait
They call one-person bobsled MONOBOB???!

😍

Peacock can suck it

They’re deleting replays after a couple days

Example: I finally had time to watch the women’s short program
NOPE - not on the app anymore

AND they’ve kept clips off YouTube apparently, no luck in finding Amber Glenn’s short program

Just WHY? Why is everything so shitty??!

The word is on fire and so much is awful
BUT
My child has been accepted to a summer study abroad program in Florence Italy and she is so excited

(Her being excited is HUGE - she’s an anxious, introverted teen who is now committed to stretching into independence and self-agency)

They grow up fast

The 5-8 Lucy’s are…okay
The real crime is their fries

Tell me more about this other place

- overnight stay in a classic South Austin art house, keeping it weird

And now
Breakfast at the Magnolia Cafe with a quick stop at Prima Dora next door

Someone online talked about having local mini adventures: going to the things in your own backyard that you put off
This weekend has been a lovely meander thru the Austin area
- Nimitz Museum in Fredericksburg
- secret bar cocktails in downtown Austin
- cake from Lady Quack’s bakery

Wanted to go see GOOD LUCK HAVE FUN DONT DIE at Drafthouse but they are only showing it at ONE of the FIVE local theaters and only at 9:30 tonight (it was 6:15 when I checked)

This is why I just wait and watch things at home

The inconvenience tax is just getting to be too high

Thanks I hate it

That soundtrack is my go to for that first summer “driving around with the windows down” weekend

Actually, the game is called Mix Tape

This is what happens when I post while tipsy

Listen
When @crobertcargill.bsky.social invites you over for whiskey and “let’s play a game called Play List” …
You say yes

Truly epic birthday evening with the best of people
Also @shadowtodd.bsky.social your episode on The Carpenters “Passage” made reactions happen

Today is my birthday
And I was born on a Friday the 13th - which I always claim as an honorary birthday (my “pseudo-birthday”)

So today is my double birthday!!

Is it ridiculous that Trump wants to slap his name on everything?
Yes

Counterpoint:
Give the toddler his binky to shut him up and we can throw a party tearing it all down when he dies

We all know they’re just gonna quietly do it with someone else (or build their own), right?

My grandma took me to see it in theaters because “space movie” and I remembered it into adulthood even tho nobody ever talked about it

It’s just fucking cool

I wan to live long enough to see the generational historical analysis of the collective societal trauma of COVID, BLM, and Trump 2.0

We have not healed from COVID and now we are back in the middle of another societal trauma (Thats probably gonna get way worse before it gets better)

We ain’t okay

Chris and I are really enjoying it. It’s a perspective on the Federation/Starfleet we haven’t gotten, much like Lower Decks

Trek has always been “this ship, this captain” focused and it’s exciting to see Trek expand the universe of story

I foolishly volunteered to help with a conference my job is running because - hello - decades of experience

I failed to take into account “organizing” an event with people who DO NOT have decades of experience

I start every meeting planning to be calm and nice and always end up snippy

Everything old is new again

WWII
The Civil War

(Slight clarification for those who don’t know their Civil War generals, McClellan was infamously UNwilling to fight)

Read the thread for full context but McClelland Democrats is on the nose
& they should be up against the wall when it comes around

Age verification?
The first video game I ever played was Pong

I plan to be a good government employee tomorrow while listening to What What in the Butt
