"The show-within-a-show stars John Cho, Jack McBrayer, Clark Gregg, and DeWanda Wise, sporting outrageous hairstyles and costumes that make the stylings of A Flock of Seagulls look like business casual." oh my God they're doing Sanctuary Moon, say thank you Apple TV+

Trump has done the same damage to our health, environment and security as to our markets, it's just that there isn't a stock ticker that measures the impact so clearly

Need to start a new D&D game just so I can make a dark elf banker character named Drow Jones.

I watched the first two episodes a long time ago before finishing the series recently, so I totally didn’t remember what a fuckin’ dweeb Syril Karn was right from the start.

Rewatching Andor. Watched it for the first time a couple weeks ago and then started listening to the recaps on A More Civilized Age. Such a good show.

Good win for Union Berlin. More important than the win in this holding-pattern season is that I think they’ve rediscovered their identity after the chaos and fallout of the Champions League season two years ago. Hopefully it’ll carry over to the next season. #fcunion

Welp, looks like I’m not gonna be trimming down the bushes around the porch this afternoon:

Looks like we're having Normie Discourse again! I've only mentioned this 💯 times before, but I make a zine for normies! I speak fluent liberal wine mom, this is my lane for praxis. The idea is that you sickos download and print to give to your normie friends/fam: magaro.net/tles/portfol...

Union Berlin goal! 1-0 #fcunion

Ooof. ESPN+ feed for the game is on the fritz. Union better not score (or get scored upon) when I can’t see it! Kidding. Would be happy to see they scored twice while away. :) #fcunion

Union Berlin looking good at the start. Playing some exciting football. I know he’s getting older but man I love it when Trimmel is playing, just gives his all for the team. #fcunion

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

I know crashing the economy on purpose seems harsh, but it’ll all be worth it when the seventh Little Mermaid is white

Pretty sure this is what triggered the Butlerian Jihad.

he should have to point to all those places on a map first

Feel like a complete doofus for getting my hopes up after the Booker speech only to have the Dems roll over on the following vote. Just peak obey in advance bullshit. Fuck.

SENATOR BOOKER HASN'T USED THE BATHROOM IN OVER 24 HOURS AND MAY TAKE SOME TIME, PLEASE BE PATIENT

IF YOU'RE IN LINE TO PISS ON STROM THURMOND'S GRAVE, STAY IN LINE

Trying to find Strom Thurmond in hell to tell him an African American man beat his filibuster record

if there's one thing Evangelical Christians know it's that having the state execute a beloved dissident always stops that dissident's message from spreading so yeah seeking the death penalty for Luigi Mangione seems smart

cory booker just finished reading through the gen 1 and 2 pokemon and has now moved on to the hoenn region

So. Well. This is news so enormous it's ungraspable: I am SFWA's 41st Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master. I don't know what to say. In lieu of brains-match-mouth coherence, here's a press release. I am overwhelmed.

The fact that so many people have the last name “Pope” suggests it was once a much more common profession. But with automation, it can now all be done by one guy.

why would they sell sour cream in 24 oz tubs if they didn't want you to consider that one serving

The Onion is aggressively on sale. Subscribing helps us hire comedy writers who get health insurance and even food to eat, with their mouths. That food is converted into energy which allows them to make sentences that make the government sad. Sign up to let this continue: membership.theonion.com

It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this low. I can’t keep the world out of my head. There’s so much happening and so little I can do about it. Crying ain’t enough.

We do not have a free country in this moment. When they can nab someone off the street because they don't like what they say, they can nab anyone.

I realize not everyone will have the courage to oppose the reckless authoritarianism of the Trump regime but even I, The Most Cynical Person In The World, did not expect the toadying and fence-jumping to be this omnipresent.

“Hey Pete this is JD. I’m stuck in an important meeting and I need your help. Can you pick up six $100 gift cards from Target for me…”

I've decided that 'I'm tired and want to go to bed" is defeatist. My new thing is "I have no interest in being awake any longer." Much more assertive. #tipsForBeingOld

Ugh. High winds coming through Atlanta tonight. This means I’m gonna be lying in bed all night hoping a tree doesn’t fall on the house.

Walz unbound truly is something to behold. His talents were wasted by an over-cautious campaign.

God dammit. Timing couldn’t be worse but here goes. Chuck Schumer and I are launching our new podcast “Soul Deep: A Weekly Deep Dive Into the Music of Collective Soul” tomorrow. I do NOT support his latest decision and want to make clear this is strictly a music podcast. Please check it out

I’ve gotten in to Star Trek: Lower Decks recently. Was always a casual ST fan, having watched TOS as a kid and TNG whenever it was being rerun. Enjoyed the movies up to First Contact. But I’m finding that ST reminds me of a time when I was actually hopeful for humanity. And that was a good thing.

Who wants a zine about these weird little guys to better inform the normies? Cuz I made one that you can download here magaro.net/tles/portfol...
