@kimspirit.bsky.social here's a Calvin and Hobbes edit I'd wager good money that you'd appreciate:

A reminder that Seth MacFarlane’s homage to Trek, “The Orville”, featured a plot line of an exiled leader of the female Moclans looking for a revolutionary anthem, and he chose Parton’s “9 To 5” as the voice they’re use. She licensed its use in a truly epic sci-fi battle. youtu.be/caBzvF9hwkI?...

“When she shines for me at night And her skies show green and white She will keep us in her sight We all lie beneath her light” (With apologies to @supergiantgames.bsky.social) (Also tagging @kimspirit.bsky.social so she can see my intense prep before tomorrow’s big Canada Day tournament)

A view from a backyard swimming pool late at night. The exterior lights of the house are on, in hues of white, yellow, and green, reflecting on the water’s skin; deep blue lights under the water add further light, along with the trim of the hot tub.

A swimming pool in the backyard of a house, no external lights are lit except for the trim of the hot tub, so the hue of the blue lights under the water are more intense than in the prior picture.

Still, to this day, the greatest of all the Gru memes. ( @kimspirit.bsky.social tagged for approval )

A four-panel cartoon featuring Gru from minions labelled as "Orpheus", gesticulating in front of a white board labelled as "Eurydice". In the fourth panel, Orpheus turns to the panel, but the "Eurydice" label has disappeared; this is to mimic the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, where Orpheus was told he could escort Eurydice from the underworld, but she would vanish if he ever looked back at her on the way up.

@wychstreet.bsky.social a question for you: It is close to 1am on a Saturday. You are at home listening to Pulp’s “Different Class”. You hear the line “She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge”. What is the percent chance that, in 30 seconds’s time, you will have a rum and Coca-Cola?

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Today, the Canadian PM Carney just gave a speech at Davos, urging the 'middle powers' such as Canada to take a greater role in leadership in the years to come, with America's likely continued isolationism. My approximate reaction, in meme format:

@kimspirit.bsky.social I suddenly find myself with the yips 15 minutes before my first live (over the internet) lesson with someone who will hopefully be my in-person Spanish teacher. So I read the student testimonials on her website. This was the first one. CLEARLY a sign amirite?

A testimonal to Spanish teacher Nancy Juárez, written by student Stefanie Vaquerano, which reads:

"I have been a student of Nancy's for a couple of years now and I can't say enough good things about her classes! My Spanish skills have greatly improved and I have her to thank for that :) Going in I was a bit nervous because it can be intimidating to learn a language but the way she works with your schedule, tailors the curriculum to your specific skill level and answers every and all questions that come up have kept me coming back! Each week I learn so much more and her words of encouragement have been so refreshing. My classes have been such a positive experience that I have recommended her to everyone and anyone looking to learn Spanish. -Stefanie Vaquerano, California. (From Basic to Intermadiate B1)"

Heya @kimspirit.bsky.social, found another Classical Mythology meme you might appreciate.

A conversation from classical mythology between Oedipus Rex and an unnamed Oracle.

Oedipus asks "Oracle, what's going to happen to me?"

The oracle answers "You're going to kill your father and marry Joe"

Oedipus asks "Who's Joe?"

The punchline of the joke is the play on words "Joe Mama" (as in, 'Yo mama'), as in the story, Oedipus marries his mother.

For all my American friends currently aghast at the horrible tacky transformations going on in the White House: once MAGA is gone, I think it would be a fantastic act of international bridge-repair if Canada came down and torched the damn thing again. Fortunately, gilded IKEA trash lights up good.

Headlines like this aren't proof that the sports / gambling legalization connection is failing, it's proof that it's working. Before the wide legalization of sports betting, investigations like this were much harder to conduct and rooting out illegal gambling was far, far harder.

Three cops is two cops too many here. If an arrest was justified (and frankly I’d be suspicious of even that claim lately), an unarmed 50 year old woman who OH YEAH was handicapped by WEARING A FULL BODY PENIS SUIT doesn’t need backup.

F’ real though, I just watched The Wall today, and in addition to the usual reasons it was hard to watch (I.e. it’s a jumbled and incoherent mess), the whole In The Flesh -> Run Like Hell -> Waiting For The Works section sat VERY ill in my mind

I do love the coy infusion of progressive talking points here, but they're quite valid -- the first step to a more fulfilling life is a better life :) and I cannot emphasize enough how much those third places matter. The internet is great. The internet is not a third place.

Falsely suggesting I'm singling out transgender individuals, but otherwise, yes, when KYC-grade human verification is required on social media, it is then and only then the infestation of bots, outrage farms, and vile anonymous trolls will finally happen. Until then, the enshittification continues.

Just in case I wasn't 100% secure in my judgment that the line had been crossed regarding Twitter turning into Truth Social 2.0, this would do it. Note especially the two posts by Elon Musk, as he no doubt presses his thumb down on the scale for his and all these other posts.
