Panel from Akira Toriyama's Sandland, the demon boy Beelzebub pulls a playstation 6 from a box saying "I c-can't believe it!! A playstation 6!! And with software! Dragon Quest 13...!!

If @sonyplaystation.bsky.social doesn't make the PS6 look exactly like this, that will be an affront to Toriyama's legacy and I'll want a public apology from them.

Put a PS6 in your treasures random tables! (With dragon quest 13…!!)

Curses, this apparently caught a block. @trance.bsky.social, you want to pass along the receipts?

The Transiberian Orchestra is neither trans, nor from Siberia. Discuss.

Coffee Talk (Saturday Night Live) - Wikipedia

It was a catchphrase word for seven years on one of the most popular TV shows in America at a time when people who are in their thirties or forties now would have likely been watching it nightly.

a woman in a blue turtleneck is talking to herself . Alt: Mike Myers as his Linda Richman character from SNL, saying "Talk Amongst Yourselves."

Oh, no, I'm getting all verklempt.

For fuck's sakes, lady.

Does this post from two years ago mean that I'm not an American either?

Can confirm. Got my covid update shot and the flu shot at once, it's always just the right call.

Canned cranberry sauce is pureed and sieved cranberries, water, and suger (or corn syrup).

It jellies because of the pectin in the cranberries, and has a fruit puree texture to match - it's nothing like the texture you get from Gelatin.

If you think the texture is at all similar to jello, I wonder if someone maybe has been playing a prank on you.

I would *also* love cranberry flavored jello, to be clear, but that would be a completely different product. It would have no place on the table.

I'm glad that there are people like you in the world.

I pity you, of course, but I'm still glad for it.

corgi from cowboy bebop @realqrampage.fightins.online • 48m C Ranger do you people ever think about how much you hate Japanese people when you say shit like this to A LITERAL JAPANESE PERSON?! Lord Ravenloft@deathmetalmaster.bsky.social • 3h Do you ever worry about Japan's long standing xenophobia, toxic patriarchal masculinity, and fascism problems when supporting their ethnic cuisines? I do. A lot. 9 9 0 91 Lord Ravenloft @deathmetalmaster.bsky.social + Follow This makes it even more pertinent that you reflect on these long standing issues... Instead it seems like you are sweeping them under the rug. Your silence speaks volumes here.

I’m losing my mind

Never disappoints, either. Consistent product, every time, perfectly tart accompaniment to all the fatty/savory turkey day foods.

canned, gelatinous cranberry sauce is better than any whole cranberry bullshit you could ever make.

it is meant to be can shaped and sliceable.

Just sent $400 to partners Mom to save the Only Car for a family of 9 bc the $200 we sent yesterday was used to pay electricity. Rightly so.

Please help us recoup as that wiped out our dental treatment, grocery & bills fund.

Music-student me looked at the notes and scratched his head. They're dissonant when they're adjacent, but put an octave between them and they sound cool. Whyyyy?

100%.

Even the more famous stuff is steeped in meaning.

I can do things like bring saddlebags and do a bit of a weekly shop on the way home. I can squeeze much more value out of the transit system than most can!

But for anything that's outside of two routes near my house?

I'm paying for a Lyft, or I'm paying in hours of my life.

And I'm a relatively able-bodied man in his thirties, who can make extra connections by bike that others can't.

If I used any kind of mobility aid? Had any kind of extra access need? I'd have to live a life where nothing of the city existed outside of a bus route.

I'm a transit and bike commuter, but I am *extremely* limited in the places I can go here in Denver.

We cannot get things like the BRT corridors fast enough - and they're also nowhere near enough. There's no easy way to connect routes, no last mile support, no plan for inclement weather.

Very much so.

Freedom from want by Norman Rockwell painting shows an aproned matriarch presenting a roasted turkey to a family of several generations,[9] in Rockwell's idealistic presentation of family values. The patriarch looks on with fondness and approval from the head of the table,[10] which is the central element of the painting. Its creased tablecloth shows that this is a special occasion for "sharing what we have with those we love", according to Lennie Bennett.[8] The table has a bowl of fruit, celery, pickles, and what appears to be cranberry sauce. There is a covered silver serving dish that would traditionally hold potatoes, according to Richard Halpern,[11] but Bennett describes this as a covered casserole dish.[8] The servings are less prominent than the presentation of white linen, white plates and water-filled glasses. The people in the painting are not yet eating, and the painting contrasts the empty plates and vacant space in their midst with images of overabundance.[12

Freedom from Want Originally published March 6, 1943 If you want to know what we are, look upon the farms or upon the hard pavements of the city. You usually see us working or waiting for work, and you think you know us, but our outward guise is more deceptive than our history. Our history has many strands of fear and hope, that snarl and converge at several points in time and space. We clear the forest and the mountains of the land. We cross the river and the wind. We harness wild beast and living steel. We celebrate labor, wisdom, peace of the soul. When our crops are burned or plowed under, we are angry and confused. Sometimes we ask if this is the real America. Sometimes we watch our long shadows and doubt the future. But we have learned to emulate our ideals from these trials. We know there were men who came and stayed to build America. We know they came because there is something in America that they needed, and which needed them.

We are the sufferers who suffer for natural love of man for another man, who commemorate the humanities of every man. We are the creators of abundance. We are the desires of anonymous men. We are the subways of suffering, the well of dignities. We are the living testament of a flowering race. But our march to freedom is not complete unless want is annihilated. The America we hope to see is not merely a physical but also a spiritual and an intellectual world. We are the mirror of what America is. If America wants us to be living and free, then we must be living and free. If we fail, then America fails. What do we want? We want complete security and peace. We want to share the promises and fruits of American life. We want to be free from fear and hunger. If you want to know what we are - we are marching!

just found out that the Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving painting was originally published alongside an anticapitalist essay by a then unknown Filipino-American writer and labor organizer (Carlos Bulosan). damn www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2017/12/carl...

... it's necessary as a preliminary step to widespread tribunals, which is my *compromise* position.

An enraging thread, but also revealing about how transphobia works in liberal states, with trans rights on paper but with a massive list of "terms and conditions" that leaves out many.

You have rights, sure, unless you're poor, a protester who angers conservatives, a prisoner, the list goes on...

This, right here? This sneering contempt? This is why you and I aren't interacting again.

Like...

Changing "Christmas Party" to "Holiday Party" but not changing anything about the party itself is like replacing ableist language without grappling with the fact that the message you want to convey is still ableist, or...

There's something there that's going to percolate, apparently.

This is scratching an itch that's going to be a bigger thought -

about how the recurring failure of white American society is hearing about someone who's being marginalized, and meaning well and wanting to fix it... but thinking that changing a word is the beginning and end of the work.
