It is now a half hour past the time when King County was supposed to drop the election results so I guess this gooning metaphor was more apt than I thought If you're baiting for ballots, stay baiting

Hey Seattle don’t forget to vote by tomorrow evening, the low turnout for August elections means your vote is going to be extra potent, like you’ve been gooning for democracy

One hour left

How have I never noticed that they misspelled galaxy

No livestream today! I’m attempting to commune with the moose. Back next week with more gay sitcom watch-alongs, if I survive

I'm always relieved when I see an image watermarked this, imagine if this photo was just out in the world without rightful attribution to its original creator, Hiram Percival Alamy III

It's very scenic here but ironically I forgot to bring my actual camera

This looks like a puzzle from a lost Myst sequel

I didn't think THE NOSE by Nikolai Gogol would be filmable but I hadn't counted on the pinscreen animation skills of Alexandre Alexeieff and Claire Parker. This 1963 short is silent with an improvised score by Hai Minh

I really appreciate how closely they followed Bram Stoker's original concept

Hello queers, can we share some book recs? I just started reading this on my trip because it's been on my "I ought to have read this" list for a long time and I'm regretting how long it took me, it's so good! About 70% done, what should I read next?

She asked if he could write a song for her, one thing led to another, and now this gym jock is known for a series of wildly popular operas. His story in this week's episode: sewersofparis.com

My spouse and I were volunteering at a con and were supposed to shepherd him to a signing. He grabbed her hand and dragged us through the crowd like he had a cowcatcher, chatting the whole way. One of the warmest and nicest people I've ever met.

Seattle's Chief of Police just wrote an incredible Chief Wiggum joke

Asked whether he was in town during the shooting, Barnes said, "I wish I had a crystal ball and we could schedule gun violence but we can't."

Don't look now but we've got some queer intruders on classic episodes of Taxi and Cheers. Going live for a watch-along now, come join us! twitch.tv/mattbaume

New Avatar movie: Surprisingly good! Fits very nicely into the original series! Has something smart to say about the tension between protecting the past and building the future! And I'm amazed by how good it looks in Cinemascope, and also how much the original could pack into 4x3!

Zeus asked me to tell you that he hopes you’re having a great day

Watching an episode of The Bob Newhart Show and my mind is REELING at the size of airplane seats in the 1970s. It's like they're designed for a person to sit in them
