That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

There's a nonzero chance that there are people working on Ken Paxton's campaign who are betting on Talarico on polymarket

Crop of the Ken Paxton campaign photo showing the back of his head completely disappearing into the collar of his suit in a very unnatural way.

The commodification of Indigenous cultures and traditions
Too often, resources and meaning flow outward from the community that created them and enrich outsiders — often the same groups that have been oppressing them for centuries.

In the Renaissance people theorized, since the Aeneid is great, if you wrote poems made only of words & phrases from the Aeneid rearranged they should be great too, since a great source regurgitated should yield greatness. They produced NOTHING we still read. Thinking about that a lot lately.

If you have prime look it up and switch to Japanese audio. You won't believe how much talented voice actors can make a mediocre film better.

I'm currently watching the Dolph Lundgren 'Masters of the Universe' with Japanese audio, and it's 100% how this movie should be experienced. It's all experienced voice actors, and it makes the film a live action anime.

A photo of peanut, a big dark brown dog, maybe a Labrador. They are sitting perpendicular to the camera but turning their head and smiling toward the camera. They are also wearing a yellow bow tie, and above them is a sign with a picture of the dog’s face and bow tie that says “Warning,
sociable dog! Those who do not flee will be cuddled to death.”
With the dogs name Peanut as the sign off in cursive

it's so fucked up that 'roguelike' now means you get three random upgrades at the end of a level instead of "occasionally the game will generate a gnome with a wand of death and obliterate you (in the event that you havent already died accidentally falling down a set of stairs while overencumbered)"

In honor of both Merle Haggard's 4/6 birthday, and also the tenth anniversary of his death, I picked a dozen 21st c. covers of Haggard songs for Good Country. (Think of this as a companion to the 20th c.-only list I did last week for No Fences Review, link to that one in this one)

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far - POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church?? POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there
screencap of a tweet with a photo at the bottom of JD Vance giving a talk, gesturing smugly with his hands

Eric Daugherty • @EricLDaugh • 1h
• JD VANCE RESPONDS TO POPE LEO:
"When the Pope says that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword - there is more than a THOUSAND year tradition of Just war Theory."

"In the same way that it's important for the vice president of the United States to be careful when I talk about matters of public policy, I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology."

"And I think that one of these issues here is that there has been - if you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth, and that's one of the things that I try to do, and it's certainly something I would expect from the clergy, whether they're Catholic or Protestant."
