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

Incidentally, it will go a long way to your claims of being one who advocates for women, if you drop the tired and misogynist “menstruation = emotional instability” bit from your comedy act. But you do you.

“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.

I was thinking like the one used in the old game show "The Joker's Wild". Like, not even disguised as anything, just.. a giant obvious lever.

A scene from the game show The Joker's Wild features the host, a contestant, and a large lever which activates three random reels on a screen in front of the men.

Basically the breakdown is that men are overall more likely, but that skews in the ways you said — specifically sexual assault has more female victims, but non-sexual violence, men across the board. This Pew Research Poll on online harassment mirrors IRL crime. www.pewresearch.org/internet/201...

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.

Every now and then, when my old friends get together for poker, and one of the more logical players throws away $0.50 in the belief that one of the unbluffable players might possibly be bluffed off a pot for the first time in years, I'll often commentate the showdown with my own best Gilbert voice:

In your article, you mention the rise of domestic violence rates after major sporting events, with an attempt to tie this to increased sports gambling. The link is due to increased drinking during sports games, not due to any issue with the sport itself. 1/2 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Elon Musk unveiling the new X logo at an ICE facility? 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’ve expressed no doubt that these represent the kind of rhetoric he’s famous for; the opposite, in fact. Having citations handy is for my benefit, not his.

I absolutely love how Adam Pearce goes from "completely exasperated authority figure" behind the fourth wall, to being exactly that when coping with the idiots and trolls online on his page. Makes me thing he channels that "aw, jees, not this shit again" energy very honestly ;)
