It was the day George Takei came to my elementary school. The rest of my 4th grade class couldn't care less someone was coming to read Dr. suess to the school, but Sulu reading us Oh The Places You'll Go was the coolest thing that ever happened my my shitty Alaskan town.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

Not me directly, but I was within earshot of someone getting the "don't you know who I am!?" Treatment from Dan Schneider, the creep of a showrunner from Nickelodeon they made that documentary about. He got beligerent enough to make the young lady behind the counter start crying.

I once got “Do you know who I am!?” from Skolnick from “Revenge of the Nerds”

So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

The Love Below had me in a chokehold for the back end of '03. It's gotta be Outkast, and Andre 3000 in particular.

name a film that got your job entirely wrong.

My pioneer finds today on outlier are looking like a Shakespearean insult.

To be fair, some of the best episodes of Batman were in the back half, after this Emmy season.. And if y'all slept on Tiny Toons, it really was that good. Had a surprising amount to say about corporate meddling in art. It's also where I first heard They Might Be Giants.

Karan Atwal@karanatwal.bsky.social · last wk.

Tiny Toons beat Batman TAS for an Emmy. Bruce Timm drew this in response. My guess is that the woman drawn here is actress Susan Lucci

Remember, kids. The Confederacy once staked Richmond, VA as it's capital. By the closing days of the Civil War, they had to set up shop in Shreveport. A lot can happen in 5 years, is all I'm saying....

jamelle@jamellebouie.net · last wk.

yeah, the reason republicans are just not going to budge from texas is the reason why armies try not to abandon their capitals. it isn’t necessarily a strategic defeat to lose the seat of power, but it is a profound blow to morale.

And if the cops and nurses don't fuck with you, you often have to worry about other patients. The nurses didn't take it seriously for weeks when another patient decided I was Lucifer. Literally spat curses at me in the halls. Even tried to rip my hair out. I was told to relax. He's 80.

I've been so victimized & brutalized by policing & psychiatry for being a mad person. And sometimes things I actually did in madness legitimized involuntary commitments legally though this practice is still illegal under international law as torture. Once a nurse blatantly lied on a police report.

The only higher education I got was Community College of the Air Force, but even I can say my alma mater has a better handle on rape than Cornell. The US military has a long, fucked up history. But at the very least, they prosecute rapists, and award victims full disability for PTSD.

Hey, it works. This was the hottest track of 1935, here in Louisiana.

"..we want to be able to hold people accountable for their anti-social behaviors.." Arresting people instead of feeding them feels pretty fucking anti-social to me.

To all of my fellow Outlier players, don't sleep on the un- prefixes. My last two only founds still standing start with Un, as do a LOT of my pioneer finds. Or, you know, do sleep on them. I appreciate the points, rarely as they get used.

I would love for him to come home and tell us this to our faces, but this coward only ever lets it slip that he had to come to Shreveport once he's safely back on a private plane to DC. You shouldn't be afraid to interact with your constituency, and he moves like he's terrified. I wonder why..
