Feudal China must have been such a great time to be in a polycule.
Whatever happened to mountain bandits, anyway? Did mountain banditry become unprofitable or did all the mountain bandits have to move to the cities during the industrial revolution or what.
Somebody make me a browser extension where every time something says "an AI went rogue" it gets replaced with something more accurate like "the large language model did the math wrong"
I like to imagine that the Johnny Cash character from Folsom Prison Blues and the Elvis character from Jailhouse Rock are two guys in the same jail having drastically different prison experiences.
Jumpscared by the Cat AGAIN: A Tale of Trying to Read My Scary Books After Dark
It is my solemn belief that the two unifying elements of humanity are that all our soap operas are exactly the same and that every civilization in history has gone through at least one Stupid-Looking Hats era.
Gonna make a themed collection called Nic Cage Freaking Out in Beautifully Color Graded Environments. It'll just be Color Out of Space, Mandy, and Willy's Wonderland.
I don't mean to brag, but for the third year in a row now I've managed to have a Vitamin D deficiency in the middle of summer.
Sitting in agile meetings is the exact same experience as sitting through a 2-hour setup and rules explanation of a complicated resource building board game that you've never played but your friend is super into.
Basic flavor Ramune tastes exactly like the bring-your-own-cup soda kiosks in the former Soviet Union, so every time I drink one, I do that thing like the food critic at the end of Ratatouille where I am transported back to my childhood. The natsukashii flavor hits extra natsukashii.
I'm sorry but you will never convince me that black holes are okay. They are unacceptable. What the fuck do you mean it's a giant nothing that's an invisible something and you fall into it forever, slow your roll there HP Lovecraft.
Jurgen Leitner is probably one of my favorite things in the Magnus Archives because you spend so long viewing him as this mythical occultist figure amassing a sinister library, and he's just some guy who was like "wow these books are fucked up, someone should probably put them away somewhere."
I think if they ever actually get rid of no-fault divorce, we should counterattack by aggressively bringing back bride prices and dowries. Sorry Jeff, you have to prove to my parents that you can afford to take me off their hands and I need an emergency jewelry stash to pawn if I flee in the night.
A short list of video games I'm absolutely obsessed with narratively and will not ever shut up about despite the fact that I can't play them for shit: Saros Bloodborne Little Nightmares 1 and 2
Really never expected both Pink Floyd and Leonard Cohen to become so relevant for the times again. Thanks for setting me up musically for the 2020s, dad.
One day, there will be no one left alive who gets the reference of T1000 melting through the prison bars.
Some new level of dystopia unlocked as my toddler listens to a bleak climate change song called Sizzling Earth and the air outside is thick with smoke and ash from hundreds of miles away. Glad we're still traumatizing children about climate disaster though. I'm still haunted by six-pack turtle.
Infinity Nikki patch 2.8 is live, which can only mean one thing. Time to put together my cutest little outfit to attend a simply adorable little dinner party where I plan to attack and dethrone god. So cute!
Since the world is currently pretty full up on injustice and cruelty, I vote that for a period of 5 years, all revenge movies should just be the revenge part for the entire runtime. Just have them wear shirts that tell me who I'm rooting for and who's bad, I'll backfill the narrative myself.
I want to make friends with the neighborhood crows but the squirrels and raccoons eat everything long before they pass by, so they don't know I left them any goodies. :(
(Watching another Amazon drone fly by with growing rage in my soul) When I said I was promised flying cars in my dystopian future, I didn't mean the packages get to go in flying cars, I meant ME.
One of my random niche interests is seeing how closed captioners choose to describe music in the video they're captioning. It is magical.
Self-care showers aren't gonna cut it anymore, I think I need a sensory deprivation tank so I can fully shed physical existence for like 20 minutes.
At this point, honestly, we might as well. Maybe the black orbs will save us. (It's just flatworms :( Not our new overlords.)
Shepherd@neolithicsheep.bsky.social · 3mo ago"Mysterious Black Eggs Are Emerging From the Seafloor These spheres from the abyss conceal creatures with startling biology" Nope. No thank you. Just leave those where you found them. Stop touching the mysterious black eggs right now, marine biologists. www.popularmechanics.com/science/anim...
Dear whoever just decided to start doing haphazard fireworks at 2am on a work night: may the road be ever Legos under your feet.
Does anyone else ever think about that one dybbuk episode of X Files where Mulder looks at it during the exorcism so then at the end the rabbi is all MULDER IT'S SEEN YOUR FACE NOW and it's so ominous but then it literally never comes up again.
