My eyes skipped off that sentence the first three or four times I tried to parse it, like there was some arcane force at work. Only too late did I realize that the wizard who cast the Rune of Non-Comprehension had done so for my own good.

I love the novel, the '53 movie, the musical, and the 80s TV series, and this one's a real "look how they massacred my boy!" moment for me.

Heh, yeah, this is precisely why I've been hating on cauliflower for forty-two years and counting. Although I'm pretty sure I ate it while I was sick rather than getting sick from it; the association is still rock solid.

well, cool, but if you keep yourself deliberately ignorant of it, get bent. Lastly, I encourage everyone to embrace the power of "who gives a shit?" Quit fretting about getting permission to be cool. Art makes a place for itself-- we have less control over making that place than we like to admit.

a couple of ideal cases for finally winning respectability participation ribbons. Every arena of game design/building is a madcap, fecund environment in which whole bodies of aesthetic and mathematical theory are being stretched and exploded, all the time. If you never have to think about that (2/3)

Every couple of years it seems we have to do the "at last here is the one game that will convince the skeptical that games are truly art" thing and with the best will in the world to all involved, this is such a waste of time. An entire generational field of human endeavor doesn't boil down to (1/3)

Oh my gawd bro so you know that Southern chick, the wicked hawt one? I heard she gave Sully a handie and now he's like a fuckin vegetable on accounta her powahs. Still would though.

Another production design from Dante Ferretti! The man DOES NOT MISS.

DEA SUPERVISOR: Do we know how much meth this Heisenberg guy is producing?

HANK: Yeah, he seems to cook at a rate of about two hundred kilos a week.

DEA SUPERVISOR: Shit. Now we'll never get a bead on precisely where he is.

💔I'm a little jealous of her extremely baller K9, to be honest.

if i were a pro-trump financial type i might view the destruction of reliable government data with the kind of anger and apprehension that might lead me to reevaluate my politics, but then if i’m a financial guy throwing my weight behind strongman rule, i’m already too stupid to breathe

Folks in the states, alongside pressuring all the big money companies, we need to pressure our representatives in order to make sure KOSA, and bills like it, stay down

Advocating for legal media wont work if they simply make it illegal after all

I saw Battlefield Earth in a theater with seven strangers. Six of them left before 45 minutes had passed.

This is some undeserved and awful bullshit. :(

Against a background of purple fabric, a fanned out stack of the three CEMETERIES OF AMALO series: THE WITNESS FOR THE DEAD, THE GRIEF OF STONES and THE TOMB OF DRAGONS by Katherine Addison. The white Solaris logo is in the bottom left corner.

Out now, the final instalment of @pennyvixen.bsky.social's CEMETERIES OF AMALO series, set in the same world as THE GOBLIN EMPEROR: Thara Celehar returns in THE TOMB OF DRAGONS!

You were so close, Jeff, but EARTH HAS 4 CORNER SIMULTANEOUS 4-DAY TIME CUBE. In only 24-hour rotation! Dumb ass educators fear me and hide from debate.

"Bzzzz bzzz hmmmbzzzz," said Department of Energy spokeperson Realman Bzzbzz, who is definitely not a radioactive wasp. "Bzzzzz bzzzz bzzzz bzzz hmmmm BZZZZZZZ BZZZZ BZZZZZZ BZZZZZZ." Reporters were forced to flee the press conference.

lol, sob

Everything good about the United States is being shut down so a crime syndicate of the world's worst pedophiles, sociopaths, and liars can sell what's left to add to the piles of billions of dollars they already have.

I dunno, something the photographer was pointing at on her wall.

"You can’t beat an immoral agent of chaos with risk aversion. You beat him with moral clarity — the kind that’s willing to sacrifice corporate donations, political comfort and maybe even your own career for the sake of the greater good."

Ok, well, SOME folks are getting the message.

The same fucking people don't trust the science of vaccines, they don't trust climate and weather science, they refuse to understand statistics, but you tell them you can identify gender with a magic wand and they're like "Fuck yeah, science!"

Oof. That's unfortunate crap.

There's nothing right-wing editorial boards love more than known right-wing freaks writing pieces that start with "I might be a squishy leftie liberal, but gosh I sure love this right-wing freak!" Absolutely nothing.

Back in my time, my parents tossed me out into the day and all that I could see was the red and white of the King's army. I met with them among the pine, I met with them by noon, and the dirge would sound on the morrow's noon. I had to claim my enemy and be the fox's destiny- that was just normal!

I foam at the mouth for Wolf Hall, but I also got a great deal of enjoyment out of The Tudors.

I sometimes think that "holy shit, two cakes!" cartoon might actually be one of the wisest things ever scrawled.
