worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Shaxs from Star Trek Lower Decks is pictured. He's a cartoon, because Lower Decks, besides being the best effing show ever, is a cartoon. Shaxs is a big burly man wearing his gold Star fleet uniform and also an apron over the front like he's doing some sort of art project or baking a nice sourdough. In each hand he's holding a broken bottle like that thing you do where you take a bottle and break off the bottom and then use it as a weapon. His eyeballs are bulging large, his brow is furrowed, and he looks absolutely unhinged with rage and fury. Closed caption reads, "Fighting fascism is a full time job!"

Scene from the Star Trek The Next Generation movie, "The One with the Flowey Ribbon Monster that Sends You To Nirvana." Picard, looking out of place in his uniform, is walking through a bougie Victorian home that is decorated for Christmas. There's a large Christmas tree filled with lights and bright colors, and a couple of ornate toy horses that aren't huge but aren't small either, and a large red and white candy cane? Sort of looks like a barber shop pole, and it extends through the whole picture, I think it's a carousel thing for the horse we discussed earlier in this alt text. Anyways, the rest of the house is just normal old fancy house stuff, furniture, drapes, chandelier, lamps, etc. No caption, but you know, because like, it's Christmas next week and all.

DS9 scene. Rom is a Ferengi hero who has a large bald head and giant ears and lobes that sort of connect to make a unibrow and a ribbed pine cone looking nose. He's wearing a jacket that looks like those lick and stick backsplash tiles you can get at Lowe's. He's pictured here standing in a corridor, talking to someone and holding/reading a PADD. Closed caption reads, "Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains."Alt in pic 1 Happy Labor Day

Let's be generous, here, and assume that by the solar system Altman wants to put the sphere outside the orbit of Neptune, and we'll just exclude the kuiper belt entirely. That would be a sphere with a diameter of 6 billion miles. Let's assume that it has the thickness of an eggshell: .3mm thick.

I suggested to my wife that it seemed pointless to continually fill the bird feeder, as the squirrels always empty it in hours. Behind me, my son said, “It’s in your interest for the squirrels to be on your side when the Great War begins,” and ate another spoonful of Froot Loops.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. Close up on Quark, a Ferengi with a smooth and domed head and huge earlobes that connect like a unibrow across his face. He also has nose loaf that kind of looks like a pine cone.  He is pursing his mouth and doing a Jim from the office look right at us. Closed caption reads, "baseball, root beer, darts, atom bombs."

Bridge shot from TNG. We've got unnamed guy with his back to us at a station, just behind Worf at tactical, Picard sitting in the captains chair and then for the main course, standing front and center we have William T. Riker. He's standing tall, arms clasped behind his back, shoulders wide, and his big Riker chest is puffed out as if he's being especially hoity toity for some reason. He also has his head cocked (pun intended) and has a bit of a curious forced grin on his face. Closed caption reads, "Shuttle bay 2, stand by to launch...the Egg."

Denny's Launches New NVIDIA Breakfast Bytes

Denny’s is honoring NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang’s humble beginnings as a dishwasher and server by teaming up with the man himself to launch new NVIDIA Breakfast Bytes at participating locations, starting today, March 21, 2025.

Inspired by Jensen Huang, the new NVIDIA Breakfast Bytes feature four all-pork sausage links served with four fluffy, golden buttermilk silver dollar pancakes. Denny’s encourages fans to enjoy this dish just like the legendary CEO does: by wrapping the sausage links in the pancakes and drizzling them with maple syrup.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

this was drawn to prove that all ideas, no matter how stupid, can yield cool results. the original "Fozziemandias" concept was by @brainmage.bsky.social. i simply applied brevity, which - as i've been told - is the soul of wit.

the post comment says, in silly letters:
let this be a lesson
all ideas have value

Kermit the Frog, standing before the fallen statue of Fozziemandias (a parody of Ozymandias). the statue reads "Wocka Wocka" (instead of the usual "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"). behind them, nothingness stretches on forever and there's a cool cloud in the sky (hello cloud).

here is the original poem, because i like it:
    I met a traveller from an antique land
    Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
    Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
    Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
    And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
    Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
    Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
    The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
    And on the pedestal these words appear:
    "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
    Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
    No thing beside remains. Round the decay
    Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
    The lone and level sands stretch far away.
    — Percy Shelley, "Ozymandias", 1819 edition
