Stardaddy of the Astronomica Podcast. Communist. He/Him.
My advice to anyone starting a pop culture (films, games, lit, whatever) podcast that wants to stand apart from the pack: Like the thing you talk about. Talk about what you like in it. Criticism is good and valid, but people type "X-Men" into the podcast search bar because they love X-Men.
*listens to some grainy recording of a gospel singer from the 20s w/ no accompaniment* Me: "man, ngl this junt slaps fr fr"
Ordered mine. Can't wait to rip off Adrian Daub observations from a fresh source.
Adrian Daub@adriandaub.bsky.social · 4h agoWHAT TECH CALLS GOVERNING comes out this week, and it seems that if you “pre-order” it now it basically ships the next day! If you buy it at the @stanfordpress.bsky.social website directly, use the code “daub20” to take 20% off the price!!! www.sup.org/books/media-...
Little known Bible fact: The earliest preserved greek manuscripts of the Gospel of Luke include instructions to the reader after each mention of the Holy Ghost, to grab the nearest person and yell "Boo!"
Superman could whoop Holden Caulfield, Beneatha Younger, and Edmond Dantes all at once, with plenty of time left to find the white whale before Ahab. He could shoot the ghost of Hamlet's dad with heat vision. He could put Tom Robinson in jail on the moon.
Alien 1: "Shall we announce our arrival to the humans?" Alien 2: "Wait, wait... *stifling laugh* Let's only tell some of them."

PEIPolitical 🇨🇦@peipolitical.bsky.social · last mo.Miller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli

Everything about this story is wonderful, from the activist group’s name to the surgical vandalism to the not-so-subtle nod to the classic ”They Live”, John Carpenter’s 1988 film…

i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious
I dream of a future where all video displays are e coli.

I like when people say a song slaps, but I think there's also room for songs that slop. Every Tom Waits song fuckin slops.
Imagine turning on your tv and being like, "Time for the news." And it's this.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 2mo agoFox News' Jesse Watters discusses his distrust of bisexual women: The whole bisexual thing—guys don't get into that. When a girl is bisexual, we don't trust her. The ones I've met are super weird. To say you're bisexual, it's not a turn on.
A FATHERS DAY THREAD: Hey everybody whose dad is not in the picture for one reason or another: I am right there with you. My dad died in 2011. We weren't estranged, but he was such a distant figure in my life that not a lot has changed in our relationship.
hey therapist cognitive dissonance is like practicing dialectics
just make it like redditors who deleted their accounts. "then in 1994, amazon dot com was founded by [u/deleted]"
in america, soldiers hunt you down and throw you in prison if you touch the public slime pool
My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and— I said look. Look with your eyes! Oh now you’ve gone and touched it. The paint is peeling. My beautiful paint! I’ll have to call my pool guy back. Vandal! Antifa! I said look And despair Nothing but the algae remains.
This is a great example of a news story where every individual reported element is factually accurate but someone coming to the story without context would get the exact wrong idea of what was actually happening in the real world.
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhen a news story includes claims by Trump that are unverified, it should run with a logo reading, ”He’s probably lying.”
i think the reflecting pool has gone from “haha what a dumb ass” to “appointing a horse to the senate” level of story here
Amazon just sent a notification to my phone letting me know I can watch The Conjuring 4 if I want. That was the text. The subtext was, "See? Would an evil panopticon that monitored your every whim, ever in a million years recommend to you, totally unprompted, The Conjuring 4?"
RIP Bobby Prince. this 1993 clip of him explaining the Commander Keen menu music is amazing. worth a watch even if you don't give a rip about Keen. source link below.
The whole last decade has been building to this exact op-ed by this exact person.
@moiradonegan.bsky.social Great episode. Made me swing by our local billboard this morning. I always feel bad for this woman who was obviously posing for stock photos and ended up on this.
