20 Nate Days Later

Unless you’re cooking meth or actively working for fascists, no dad has a right to say that to their kid. I can only imagine how cruelly that must hurt, how much weight that must carry, but he was wrong to say it and wrong about what he said.

If you want to personally experience time dilation, do planks while staring at a timer and watch seconds pass with increasing slowness.

"We want 5x more profits from those chatbots we made that talk sexy to children in the licensed voices of celebrities!"

Sounds like someone doesn't know what actual journalists do all day.

"So you're saying you ... call sources? Obtain FACTS? Then you VERIFY those facts? You don't just make stuff up? Huh. Weird."

Again, where are these Soros checks I'm supposed to be receiving for going to protests, knocking on doors, etc.? Melonfarmer, I am doing this for FREE. I'm getting paid in DEMOCRACY.

Sorry that you can't conceive of public service without personal financial gain. Seems like a "you" problem.

Also people with obstructed windpipes.

The animated TRON UPRISING series is probably the best the franchise has ever gotten. Great cast, fun premise, really stylish visuals.

Seriously, if you told me she was Eric Adams doing an incredibly effective and sophisticated Mrs. Doubtfire, I'd like 50% believe you at this point.

“That’s not discrimination!” Oh my dear sweet Lord, just make this entire exchange a tv ad right now.

Maybe he and Steve Harvey can start a club.

Sending her death threats for just speaking her mind — not condemnation, not criticism, threats — is vile and pathetic.

TPUSA came to school to tell everyone her kid wasn’t real. Was existing wrong, and should be forced by the government to live differently.

I’d have been livid, too. Kinda am.

Excellent coverage of tonight’s Albemarle school board meeting from @tjsleakyroof.bsky.social. People have a right to disagree with Allison Spillman’s objection to TPUSA. (I don’t.) But she expressed an opinion. She didn’t use her power or position to try to block the speaker.

Thank you very much — I appreciate this recap. Who is PAH?

Is it me, or has Jeffries started kinda coming alive lately?

Ok, good, so you’re definitely going to condition your support for reopening the government on (among other things) an end to this lawless behavior, right?

Man, I can't wait for BALTIMORE HUG PATROL. So gritty! So hard-hitting!

Stephin Merritt, easily.

I've noticed this all the time in Webtoons -- usually to indicate when the other party in a conversation is speaking off-panel.

An IMDB.com cover blurb: "The TRON: ARES Cast on Pushing Themselves to The Limit"

A still from the Homestar Runner music video, "Everybody to the Limit," which you should go hear and/or see right now at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=votBDwhTu1E

come on, fhgwgads*

*the name Jared Leto insisted everyone refer to him by on set

They are indeed, and I miss them! And you all! Hi!

In fairness, she's also wearing extremely high heels, which could exacerbate the difference.

So, one of the two to four weeks a year when Chicago is weatherwise the single greatest place on earth, as opposed to the sweltering or freezing nightmare it is all the rest of the year? (:

"We might offend someone if we make the Ku Klux Klan the bad guys" is a hell of a notion.

Gotta wonder if they would have changed up the Assassins' traditional "white hooded cloak" raiment, or at least the color scheme, for this one.

A shopping center where an abandoned former Bed Bath and Beyond has been hastily adorned with a cheap orange banner, whose alarmingly sized, spaced, and kerned text reads “Halloween Starts Here.” It looks even sadder than this description can convey.

BEHOLD, I have found it: the Spirit Halloween Store of Spirit Halloween Stores.

In the most charitable possible reading: That "both sides" have failed to care for working people as they ought to, maybe?

I'm betting you've also seen her outstanding work in SUPPORT THE GIRLS.

This is so on-brand for Janice.

Wandering ghosts by F. Marion Crawford Free kindle book and epub digitized and proofread by volunteers.

THE SCREAMING SKULL -- Crawford's last-ever story before his untimely death at 55 -- can be found in his collection WANDERING GHOSTS.

Good night ... and don't dream about that thing, if you can.

M.R. James, considered the master of the spooky English ghost story, was a big fan of Crawford's work. Read this story -- or Crawford's strikingly modern "The Dead Smile," whose incestacular "twist" is the least surprising or creepy thing about it -- and you'll see why.
