We couldn’t go to the pub because the prime minister was there? Would have given him a piece of my mind, but apparently the whole place was throbbing with Mounties

When you could end reality from your throne of primordial chaos, but you'd rather just take a nap and maybe eat some leaves later. Antifa cottagecore. She/her.
The transatlantic flight my kid is piloting has an in-flight movie about a ghost that saves a family from a tornado. Great concept.
GM: Does anyone have any more questions for the sword before the Zone of Truth lapses? MONK: What’s your favorite color? SWORD: Blood red. MONK: Fresh or dried? SWORD: Fresh. BARD: So cliche. SWORD: I wouldn’t lecture anyone about color choices while wearing that hat.
Monk hands Satyr a pamphlet on excessive attachment to physical things. Satyr: "Isn't it hypocritical to give me a physical thing to lecture me about attachment to physical things?" Monk: "It's compostable." Satyr: "Touché." #dnd
It is brought home to me over and over that a cis woman could be harassed at work and live in terror of her husband, but few male politicians will give a good goddamn about her until she steps on a playing field with a trans woman. (The same trans woman whose couch she might end up on next month.)
In other news, I suspect I couldn’t last long in a family law practice.
Lisa Needham@snipy.bsky.social · yesterdayhonestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.
There is nothing my guy wants more than a small ball of tinfoil. He likes it more if it’s off a chocolate bar. You’re nibbling a fererro rocher and a twelve-pound cat blinks into existence by your ankles, pupils blown, feral instincts raging.
Cats of Yore@catsofyore.bsky.social · yesterdaySomeone once told me that it's "classist" to advocate for people to have indoor cats because you need to buy them lots of expensive toys. Marcel has been playing with the discarded stem of a fresh green bean for 20 minutes. 🤷♀️
okay so we actually have extremely funny footage of the serena hypothetical featuring literal serena, where all the dude perfect guys at once try to return a serve and mostly get clocked with the tennis ball

I swear to God, part of the problem of literacy is that we make kids read SO MANY books like this. Of course they’re going to associate reading with misery! We put them in a Skinner box and shock them when they read, what did people THINK would happen?
Nick Harkaway@nickharkaway.com · yesterdayHaving ranted about school curriculum books, I’ve just seen my son’s summer reading list, and all I can say is “I was right”. A more depressing collection would be tricky to assemble. Are we actively trying to convey to kids the idea that reading is dismal and arduous?
I’m still mad about The Sun Also Rises, and “we should make teenagers dissect metaphors for impotence.”
every time you hit a flock camera with your head a gold coin pops out and sometimes a mushroom or a fire flower
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 2d agoIt would be irresponsible of us not to further investigate if each Flock camera does in fact contain a focusing crystal that is actually a diamond

That said, let us take a moment to thank our Bluesky Trans and Furry Elders for freaking out Jack Dorsey so much he bolted and left us this nice social media playground, taking most of his crypto chuds with him. We thank you for your service.
I want the people around me to have food and medical care and education and so on. Why is this a surprise to so many people?
When I come across a guy like this, I think of Doug Marcaida. That man could absolutely take you out with his earlobe, but he seems like a goofy, unassuming person who has no need for this kind of weirdo posturing.
Dan of the Year@downwithdan.bsky.social · 2d agoHe will never understand that being "the fat guy from Superbad" is infinitely better than being "the martial arts chud nobody likes"
But your honour, both texts used the word “and” and contained a blond man! This is so much worse than I’d pictured. Don’t miss the thread.
Courtney Milan@courtneymilan.com · 3d agoOne of her many large documents is a list of all the places she claims Tracy copied her and it looks like this. And I think people who were first evaluating this online just looked at all the yellow and was like "oh my god, that's so much yellow!" But if you actually read it...
An interesting read. Thanks @charlieangus104.bsky.social
Charlie Angus@charlieangus104.bsky.social · 4d agoI started piecing this story together a number of years ago. Grey Owl and Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance were two famous "Pretendians." When a Hollywood movie was set in the north it all fell apart. One went on to fame. The other died in disgrace. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-tragic...
I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

This is the same child who lost it at last week’s attempted screening of The Little Mermaid. The “Les Poisson” scene was too much horror for him, and he eventually tapped out, yelling “I don’t like carnivores!” I see tofu in my future.
Spouse pointed out to me that, while 5-yo likes his Transformers bristling with guns, he gets very upset if you pretend to fire them at any point. You will be insistently reminded that this is his AU where the Decepticons became good (except for Shockwave and the insecticons) and are friends.
It's a small thing, I know, but there really is a difference between "palate cleanser" and "palette cleanser," and also, while we are on the subject, "pallet cleanser," and it is worth making the distinction
I post for the people who grew up wailing “ahhhh! ahhhh!” in perfect time with the lady slumped backward over a gravestone in the Masterpiece: Mystery! opening credits and still do it every single time.
