Always impressed by people who post in /r/newmexico and say "Hey, comedy show on the 15th" or something with no details about location, venue, times, etc. They understand that New Mexico is a small state and we just //know// what they mean.

You...already sold them a BMW. Why are you forcing an ad for a BMW onto them? This is the whole "Amazon saw you bought a vacuum cleaners and is going to keep recommending vacuum cleaners" thing but for an $80,000 car!

This sucks ass. When I start my car I want to be able to put my foot on the pedal and drive off. I dont want to watch an ad. A distracting ad. Right in the middle of my console. Again. This sucks ass.

Saw this 1889 Tsukioka Yoshitoshi print ("Oniwakamaru Observing the Great Carp in the Pond") yesterday, and immediately thought "Frank Miller saw this at some point and decided that the linework on the pants was the perfect inking style." No idea if that's the case, but I like my theory.

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi's "Oniwakamaru Observing the Great Carp in the Pond," from 1889.

You ever have something happen in a dream that is so believable that you immediately check IRL to see if it really happened? (In this case, it was deeply unpleasant and all too realistic.)

And THIS is why I got Emily's book in my middle school reading room. Middle grade ain't dead and the kids LOVE the safe engagement with big scary feelings that horror can provide!

kicking off week three of the @darkertimes.bsky.social subscriber drive with this kickass piece from @allyoutthere.bsky.social, which should put to rest any lingering ignorant comments along the lines of "horror for kids isn't scary" or "middle grade is dead" www.darkertimes.com/middle-grade...
