Big deal, I know upwards of 50 words

Civil debate is all about saying the most horrifically abhorrent sludge in a calm tone.

The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace

Omg, I didn’t even look close enough to notice that

There is a separate lot just after this one that is just like 7 different Monopoly sets. Why did this one get put in with a drone and billiard balls?

An auction listing for Monopoly set, drone, and Billiard balls set

I like to look at online auctions, not least of all because I like to try and imagine the deranged minds that decide to group objects like this together as one lot

Commissioner Gordon saying to Batman and Robin “WE'VE GOT TO STOP THE JOKER? THOSE BONER CRIMES ARE MAKING US LOOK BAD! AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE BONER HE'S READYING FOR YOU!”

Panel from a Batman comic. The Joker is looking at a newspaper headline that says “Chortle at Joker’s Boner’, and angrily yelling “SO! THEY LAUGH AT MY BONER, WILL THEY?! I'LL SHOW THEM! I'LL SHOW THEM HOW MANY BONERS THE JOKER CAN MAKE!

This feels like something that maybe everybody already knows about and was maybe just a blind spot for me but apparently there’s a ‘50s Batman comic now famous for it’s repeated use of the word ‘boner’, meaning error or mistake at the time

“Great Man” of history theory < “International Man” of mystery theory

I also hated group assignments but I think by age 50 you have to let it go, Julian

Now you don't need to read any more books for the next 4 years

I keep seeing current photos of the Scrubs cast and in all of them Zach Braff looks relatively normal, so it just deepens the mystery of why they chose this picture in particular for this promo

truly cursed home page for the “footprints in the sand” poem complete with PHP errors, comic sans rendition, and terrible late ‘90s footprint image that follows the mouse pointer

Oh that is so good

And now we even know who he was emailing

I bought the Telltale game the other day even though I recall you saying it wasn't all that great. Haven't played it yet

I watched the first episode and timestamped and wrote descriptions for 22 screenshots in a 44 min runtime, so this could take a while.

The show loves to edge you with out-of-focus or obscured shots, making me go frame-by-frame in some spots to see if there was anything usable

61 episodes to go.

Which state was behind 3?

Around about 2011 I moved from Adelaide to Sydney which took me right through the locust swarms that were happening in southern NSW at that time. I was picking those little bodies out of my car’s engine bay for literal years afterwards

Can confirm that Blake Stone was no good

I’ll put it on the list!

Immediate ride or die for my boy Edmond Dantés

My current audiobook is The Count of Monte Cristo. Sometimes you read classics and you can see the artistic merit but the dated language and style just feels like a slog, but this has had me hooked from the start

Sounds like a real mustard pickle

Grace Tame is ‘difficult’ but Pauline Hanson is ‘divisive’?? The Tame thing is a bad look but when you consider he was more complimentary to a woman who has been using hate to rort the Australian public for a paycheck for thirty years, it’s damning.

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.
