Nothing says "here's a good park to bring the kids for play time" like a huge 'sharps, needles and biohazard' disposal bin nestled against the boring old trash bins.

@alisonrosen.bsky.social Listening to the yard sale horrors, I'm gonna start going to those and wait until I overhear someone wanker-haggling and overbid the asking price to cut them out "It's $2" "Would you take $1?" <ME> "WAIT, I'LL GIVE YOU $10" then "HA" low-bid-Larry in their face.

Imagine you feel compelled to comment on a video game playthrough that "it's cartridges, bullets are the metal bits at the tip". Unaware that everyone, from a six year old to a grandma, when they read it, is making the jack-off motion at you, reading your spew in their best "dork voice".

@piatpod.bsky.social I thought to myself "Huh, Mormon Movie Month and no Cara? She must be really busy, hopefully not sick." But no, little did I know the reason was much more sinister that that. I'm no saint either - listened to it three times already. But will I watch the movie? Ha ha no way.

Hey online word game makers. Maybe I'm playing on a desktop browser because I'm trying to be disciplined and just play today's puzzle then get on with things. Maybe I don't want to play all day on a phone. Maybe you stop nagging me about it, huh?

It'd be troublesome, but imagine carrying around bagpipes, so when someone at the laundromat is assaulting you with their inane speakerphone convo, you could take part in the "it's about me" festival and have at it. "Are you good at bagpipes, Ken?" "Of course not, never played 'em"

"I'm 6'4 and that thing shocked me 'til I was collapsing on the floor.." Why do we care about your height? Gee, taller people have functional neurological systems, too? What's that got to do with you trying to put torture devices into the hands of people who would make Milgram experimenters wince?

@ologies.bsky.social To make up for the capsicumology self-immolation ending secret you should be allowed to visit an animal rehab facility and on-air determine which inhabitant has the softest fur and scritchiest ears.

The premise of so many u-toob videos seems to be "I'm an entitled self-indulgent twat with too much money and I'm going to burn a big pile of it on self-indulgent twattery". People watch this, do they? Giving 'em what they want?

Ken Farley @farleykj.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

How, I asked myself, could I ever love @ologies.bsky.social more, surely I'm already at maximum adoration? But then, totally unexpectedly, Alie states in a way I never thought of before "Suck it, harpsichord". A philosophy I've lived by because that instrument is my nails on chalkboard. Je t'adore.

@alisonrosen.bsky.social Radiolab doing an episode on Stockholm Syndrome and how that phrase is based on questionable history but now it's its own thing...and all I can think is "Oh my word, April". Your show was so very troubling and so so excellent. Thanks Alison.

@biologistimogene.bsky.social I know you're not on here much at all and might not see this for a while if at all, but just had to let you know I cheered to see who the guest is on Ologies this week. Crucial questions will be asked and answered (i.e. are cubs fluffy? snow leopards yes, cheetahs no?)

@ologies.bsky.social I was shoveling snow for many hours and there was a lull in plows and neighbors and such, and a possum came scooting down the road, avoiding the deep stuff like a smart citizen. I caled out "be carefull, buddy" and I thought of you.

Stupid guy damages economy. Stupid guy told to stop. Stupid guy doubles down to damage economy 50% more. Sadly, effects of this one stupid guy tantrum will be dwarfed by the effects of the other monumentally stupid things he's done. He's the fifth horseman, their fixer.

@ologies.bsky.social I bet you're hearing a lot that people thought the platypus picture of Dr Hawke was you. Definite pseudo-doppelganger going on, plus a heaping helping of "ooohh Alie got to hold a Platy? Envy at level 13". Someday, maybe you will - make sure it's a female, though, okay?

Ken Farley @farleykj.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

It's a horror movie, but the most horrific part is the abysmally ignorant "science" they use to explain pretty much everything in it that's out of the ordinary. Hoo boy.

@alisonrosen.bsky.social Never felt more on Daniel's team than his justified rant against those walking rectums at the storage place. They are the kind of selfish jerks who leave one square on the TP roll.

@alicefraser.bsky.social So disheartening the hear of the shenanigans and outright robbery going on with you book. Gonna get me that audio book immediately or as immediately as I can in the US. They're best when you read them, especially if I can hear a supressed giggle.

Ken Farley @farleykj.bsky.social · 09/09/2025

So what I'm to understand is that instead of imagining I hear A PASSION FOR PASSION in @alicefraser.bsky.social 's voice, I can buy a recording of her actually reading it with a professional accurate Australian accent rather than the, well, frankly, bad version my brain attempts? Gimme.

Ken Farley @farleykj.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

@howtosurvive.bsky.social We played a game like the "smear" game you described, but maybe because it was a catholic grade school (??) we called it "Kill the Guy with the Ball". Basically a society gone mad and the have nots hunting the haves game...you know, religious stuff.

@alicefraser.bsky.social Re: Shape of Water I watched this on a flight on Cathay from Indonesia (to um, New Jersey?) and no censorship, just a weak warning ala "check if kids are looking over your shoulder at this". No such warning on any of the murder-based flicks I watched, however.

@ologies.bsky.social Having listened to virtually every one of your eps it occurred to me that maybe one of the reasons certain factions of society are so against scientists is because they envy, because their own lives are lesser, the degree to which scientists love the things they do.

@alicefraser.bsky.social Re: choking out with thighs. I worked with a guy who had a side business where he was videoing women choking out men with their crotches. He was actually rendered unconcious at times. Quit his day job for the biz 'cause kinks pay better than IT I guess.

A thing I hate when I've got the windows open and the fan going: People smoking those little cigars that smell like burning cat litter with cologne on for flavor. Can't throw water on 'em like amorous racoons, can I?

@benmckenzie.bsky.social Is a chapter in the next book going to be "Crypto: For When You want to Bribe a President Right Out in the Open"? I mean really, right in our faces, this guy.

In decades of listening, the only bias I've ever heard from NPR is a bias against falsehoods. Maybe if the whiney man-baby feels like they're against him, he should try saying a few things that aren't outright lies.

@howtosurvive.bsky.social Oh boy elephants. Officemate in grad school was from South Africa. Boy scouts there not like here. Survival things learned: Don't step on kraits (snakes), DO NOT MESS WITH baboons. And never ever do anything to anger elephants - they will destroy you.

@daniellebkoenig.bsky.social Kris's Alex has a corn snake, doesn't she? She says "coral snake" but that's the bad guy in that old (questionable?) limerick where red on yellow kills a fellow, etc. Then again, given past events...the Kimmels don't seem to shy away from intrepid adventures.

@veronicabelmont.com @tommerritt.com I think another very good reason Brandon Sanderson is having a popularity surge, at least for me, is that NerdForge (Martina and Hansi) did a huge rebinding of all of his Stormlight Archive books. www.youtube.com/watch?v=13co... It's how I found out about him.

Imagine if you were like Peter Parker, but instead of being bitten by a radioactive spider, it was a mosquito. What would you do, drain criminals? Your 'squito-sense would likely involve CO2 detection. Criminals would poop their pants when they heard the whining sound of your wings.

@alicefraser.bsky.social Every episode of The Gargle I download to my wee MP3 player I have to pick a title because my download source (damn you, Podbay) names them with a letter salad. So I pick one of the topics. The latest is an absolute stunner: "The Gargle - Billionaire Jizz". Magnifique.
