It’s pretty crazy that MTG won the Super Bowl and a gold medal at the Olympics yesterday.

I was hosting a smartphone-powered scavenger hunt in the SFBA. One of the teams snuck a photo of me for the ‘spot a celebrity’ challenge and captioned it ‘Vincent D'Onofrio‘. That pic got posted on Twitter. Mr. D'Onofrio took the time to reply to it, saying that I was better looking than he was. ☺️

Move Aside, Snowflake: ‘Theater Kid’ Is the New Go-To Political Insult

Years ago I did a LION IN WINTER paper figure/diorama/paper theater set. You can still download it and print it to cut and display, if that sort of endeavor is as much your inclination as it is mine:

A screenshot of Peacemaker, Season 2, Episode 7. Two characters are preparing to play Scrabble and one has just dumped the entire bag of wooden letter tiles out onto the table.

Watching latest episode of Peacemaker...
Hey, @jamesgunn.bsky.social, what sort of monster starts a game of Scrabble by dumping all the tiles out of the bag?! You are just gonna have to put them all back in there again. And, no, I won't be accepting 'Earth-X Scrobble rules variations' as an answer.

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms.

‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms.

But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

Oh, that delightful feeling when you open up a dusty shoebox of #Magic cards only to find that some old common card is now worth $40 (and the shiny foil one is $300). This last happened to me 20 years ago when I sold a stack of Force Of Will cards to help fund my move back to CA from GA. #MtG

If it makes you feel better about yourself, absolutely everybody else is a disgusting pervert too.

i think comparing vote blue no matter who type democrat stans to sport fans isn't especially apt because if a sports team's GM was always making the roster worse on purpose in an attempt to win over fans of their most bitter rival, that man would be killed

Imagine if we proposed closing churches to protect kids from predators.

Notes On a Nonexistent Crime Wave If American cities aren't war zones, they must be turned into war zones

"In terms of its underlying causes, the current homelessness crisis is very nearly the opposite of the 20th century urban crime wave. It is a product of affluence, inequality, and political sclerosis." publiccomment.blog/p/notes-on-a...

Yeah, the first Xanth book was the first book that I read on my own volition as a pre-internet-age precocious youth. I was not prepared for his works like Shade Of The Tree when I followed his bibliography down into the trenches.

One workplace over-staffed my PT position to the point that dozens of us are all sub-part-time employees now, don’t qualify for benefits, and can’t join the national union efforts. Some jobs offer bonus pay to pick up last-minutes shifts. This other one makes us race each other to reply to postings.

This isn't a list of jobs that A.I. can easily replace.

It's a list of jobs that techno fascists don't think are worthwhile or meaningful and that they want to eliminate.

They don't want humans to try to make sense of the world, they want us to believe whatever we're told.

This is just to say

I took the plums and the brochure

My partner’s brandname-loyal to a fault & refuses to scan QR Coupon Codes on shelves but acts pleasantly surprised when I shop based on value, scan all the coupons, & save 20-50% off the total cost. Even cashiers have remarked that most people don’t really know how to get the most out of a grocer.

make art! if it's the end of the world, you might as well make art! if it's not the end of the world, then the future will be better because people made art right now!
