Walked into Target to discover a full-on Transformers: The Movie 40th anniversary display. I was literally rendered speechless. My wife says my reaction was hilarious.

Target shelf display for Transformers the Movie 40th anniversary “apology tour” merch, complete with branded display banner.

My deeply nuanced thoughts on The Odyssey discourse:

An adapted version of the classic "I studied the blade meme" that shows a scrawny young man in polo shirt pulling free a katana from its scabbard. Large text reads: "When you were partying, I studied The Odyssey"

Not to be confused with Speedball. But, you know, one look at the suit will tell you he's not packing the same kinda superpower...

A colorful comic image of the Marvel mutant hero Speedball. Who, notably, does not display evidence of an overly large scrotum in his super-tights. Guy's like a Ken-doll, really.

Forgot I made this awhile back. Still amuses me. IYKYK

A three panel page from the X-Men comics, with altered text. Panel 1: A weeping Scarlet Witch says "Influencers...". An onlooking Emma Frost says, "Oh no...". Panel 2: Close up of Scarlet Witch's tear streaked face, saying: "No more CONTENT". Panel 3: A horizon of clouds bursts with a wave of energy.

Acquired a favorite book from my youth, 1988’s GI Joe “Divide and Conquer”. Look at that absolute banger cover. And I am DEE-LIGHTED to tell you that the back inside cover contains a handwritten love letter, dated ‘99, from a girl named Mandy, to her one true love: Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys.

A photo of a vintage copy of GI Joe young adult novel Divide and Conquer, featuring an absolutely crank e shirtless guy in a falcon headdress flexing that apex shit for all his worth while a guy in a metal mask and boxing gloves throws down with a dude who commands alligators or some shit. In the background, Jinx — a female ninja in a red outfit — looks on like WTF are this bunch of roofed outfits even doing? Or maybe she just wants to get her hands on falcon guys incredible abs. And who could blame her?

Have you tried Loop plugs? They’re a game changer. Comfortable to wear for hours and drop the decibels without muffling the sound.

That feeling when going outside is silly, but you just had some books delivered to the mailbox, so…

This makes me feel positively ancient. But, also, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy was incredibly formative for me, and is so evocative of a certain place and time in my life. And I've somehow never seen Sarah live...

It's the Pictorial Bible, from 1870s! Note the corners where the religious text has been cut out or covered over.

A weather copy of the 1875-ish tome The Pictorial Bible, with intricately embossed leather cover, and numerous religious messages in its four corners.

The original Buffy the Vampire Slater VAMPYR prop, created from a copy of the Pictorial Bible. The places where the Christian religious messages have been cut out are visible in the corners, and the middle title section has been replaced with the word "Vampyr". The prop is otherwise known as The Slayer's Handbook.

Ah, right, the Pictorial Bible from 1875 — it's a beauty!

Me: "Hi, I'm looking for this kind of obscure book—" Librarian/bookseller: "Say no more" *thud*

A massive leatherbound and embellished tome, with gilded pages and metal strap locks. The title, in large, embossed gold letters, reads "Vampyr". Still image taken from the first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The book looks... hilariously bad and cheap in high resolution.

Wise words from Elizabeth AR Brown’s 1974 article "The Tyranny of a Construct", as quoted by @lollardfish.bsky.social: modernmedieval.substack.com/p/the-mediev... So much of childhood education is streamlined, mythologized nonsense. And it's VERY hard to unlearn it.

(highlighted block text)To advocate teaching what is acknowledged to be deceptive and what must later be untaught reflects an unsettling attitude of condescension toward younger students. Furthermore, not only does such a procedure waste the time of teacher and student, but its supporters apparently disregard the difficulty of, as a student of mine puts it, "'erasing' an erroneous concept or fact from the mind of a child who has been taught it, mistakenly or intentionally, at a lower school level." (end of highlight)
