Went and saw this last night. Highly recommended when it opens this weekend.

Okay yeah, sure, but “Six-Gender Jimmy” is the best name for a hardcore punk band I can imagine

Putting “Hard Target” on while I work was a good choice today.

In the background, a ramshackle building explodes into fiery chaos, spraying wooden debris and embers everywhere. In the foreground, a horse races toward us: majestic, powerful, a deep chestnut with white markings running between the eyes down the nose. On that horse’s back rides a figure of pure regal domination, a full white pushbroom moustache failing to cover his wide-open screaming mouth, his balding head reflecting the orange of the flames behind him, holding aloft a bow, his quiver of arrows on his back. This is Wilford Brimley.

Oh yes. I love this version— it’s one of the ones I had as a kid. Blair Lent and Ernest Small were actually the same person!

(addressing the young person who’s shown up at my door searching for mentorship in an attempt to defeat the evils in the world) Sorry, young blood. All these old bones are good for these days is feeling the horrendous malaise of late-stage capitalism and Stardew Valley. G’wan, now. Git.

NEW SHORTS WHO DIS

This is a picture of me, poolside, wearing my first pair of bodybuilding shorts (given to me by A Friend). The shorts are leopard-spotted, and come up to cover my navel. My arms are raised and I’m flexing my biceps, like a real tough guy. It turns out that bodybuilding shorts do a great job at concealing one’s gut.

Practicing my “rizzed-up selfies” as an almost fifty year old man. Maybe I’ll get the hang of it in another decade or so.

A “rizzed-up selfie” of yours truly. Beard a little too skraggly. Glasses a little too low. One eyebrow cocked a little too confidently. Smirk not quite smiley enough. Tugging down the collar of my black t-shirt in an unearned gesture of lackluster machismo. Fuck it, I’m still cute

It's been a hell of a year, but a crowd of people gathering to listen to other people make music is always satisfying.

This time it's the band Explosions in the Sky on the stage, surrounded by fog, with lights flashing all around. Four dudes with guitars and a drummer. Wild.

Live music is such a balm for the soul.

Godspeed You! black Emperror on the stage at Austin Psych Fest. I was close enough to feel the rumble of the stacks, which is a lot of the point.

Well now. This is probably pretty overdue.

The ceiling of a room. The room is darkened. Shining on the ceiling is a pall of blue light, with a field of green "stars." Also visible on the ceiling: a vent; an emergency fire alarm light; several unlit can lights; another, smaller vent; a CCTV camera.

Now they know how I feel, at least.

I'm good, thanks for asking.

Can you please elaborate your concern?
[Spotify Agent] at 12:21 PM, Feb 18

Well, Joe Rogan is an idiot with an enormous platform that is actively harming both our country and the world at large. It drives me nuts that part of the money I pay to Spotify goes to that goon. I would like to request that none of my subscription money goes to him or his ghoulish podcast.

Thank you! Just register my dissatisfaction that Spotify pays that doofus a ridiculous amount of money to blather his
misinformation to ridiculous amounts of people.
You at 12:35 PM, Feb 18

Please don't worry, I have taken your concern as a feedback and let the right team know, so that they will look into it.

Boy howdy, do I, a trans woman, have some thoughts about how the gender revolution put a lot more emphasis on letting girls do boy stuff, and almost none on letting boys do girl stuff, which if anything reinforced the idea that girl stuff is inferior if not shameful.

It's a late-80s movie, so it's vile in some of those kind of ways, although it is classist in the correct direction. It's also a Brian Yuzna movie (he produced Re-Animator), so it's pretty gross too. But it's VERY funny body horror.

I was cackling for the entire last twenty minutes. It really navigated the sad / funny straits extremely well. ... Have you seen SOCIETY? l... cannot recommend Society, but... I love Society.

TWICE. IT WAS SO GOOD

I have not seen that, nor will I. Even at the outset it seemed weird, but not my flavor of weird. Give me body horror over well-meaning but racist musicals any day of the week

Pretty baffling choices. I've seen some clips of it and thought "oh that looks charming" but now no thanks. Like the one where gosling does the face and Emma stone laughs at him? Or something like that? But not as part of that larger debacle, nope

Wow. Wowwwwwww. Someone wrote that. Someone wrote it and then someone else was like "sounds good to me," and then several dozen people were like "sure, why not."

Hey, neat! It's Amazing Spider-Man 5, from 1963! It's the first time Spidey and Dr. Doom interacted! This was hiding in the corner of a lot I won for a truly cute amount on the internets. Probably the best score I will ever find.

The Amazing Spider-Man number 5! Spidey swings his way across the cover, but Doom has severed his web! He's about to land in some... lava or something!
CAPTION:
"It had to happen! Sooner or later, SPIDER-MAN was bound to battle DOCTOR DOOM!"
Dr. Doom's word balloon:
"This is your FINISH, Spider-Man! If the FANTASTIC FOUR couldn't stop me, what chance have YOU?"

The land stirs from winter torpor in snowbell peal, in Stay Below rising. Jackdaws quest for twigs, toads wake. The witch hears whispers of green promise, the song of pussy willow swelling to silver. Feral magics swim her blood. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Honestly if you show me a cat that can operate a zippo I’ll send them a pack of Virginia Slims.

Here is another picture of my cat, Weasel, to help your timeline be not all doomscrolling horrors

Weasel, sleeping atop a brown-and-white quilt. She looks a bit like a bright orange stripey cinnamon bun. Her eyes are closed in contentment. If this picture had audio, you could hear her snoring a little bit.

Hey, neat! It's the rare British edition of Forbidden Worlds 73, the first appearance of Herbie Popnecker! Herbie is a magnificent little guy, and Alan Moore has said that Herbie is his favorite superhero.

The cover of a comic book. It says it's Forbidden Worlds 4, but it's a British Reprint of Forbidden Worlds 73, from American Comics Group, published in 1958. The cover features a fella in WWII pilot clothes who has scrambled up the mast of a ship. He is being chased by a pirate (in full regalia, eyepatch, bandanna and all) waving a lit torch.
There's a caption box that reads:
"Can a man crash through the barrier of TIME itself? See it happen, in...
The RIDDLE of ROBERT O'MALLEY!"
The guy in the mast, presumably Robert O'Malley himself, has a word balloon coming from his mouth. It reads:
"This-- CAN'T be! Shot down by J*p Zeros-- and now trapped aboard an ANCIENT PIRATE SHIP!"

The first page of the first Herbie story. Because it's the British edition, it's in black and white instead of color. There are three panels. The first one takes up the top third of the page, and it features a shlubby little boy with a bowl cut, wearing a button-down white shirt and a short tie, and what looks like jeans or khakis with a belt. He walks calmly toward the viewer, eating a lollipop. He is surrounded by exciting things! A rocket launches at him. A Native American in full headdress waves a tomahawk at him. An explosion explodes in the background. An elephant charges at him. Two dueling dandies fence behind him. A plane crashes! A cowboy with a smoking gun rides a horse at him! A pirate waves a cutlass and leers!
Second panel, takes up half of the bottom third of the page. A man in a suit stands before a group of people. Caption reads:
It was a PTA meeting, and the speaker's subject was an important one--
The guy has a word balloon. It reads:
"Yes, I repeat-- the boys of today are the leaders of tomorrow!"
Third panel, taking up the last bit. Closeup on the fellow, as he points directly at the viewer. He is holding a glass of water and he looks kind of like a baffled Salvador Dali. Word balloon:
"You must see, therefore, that what we need in this country are REAL boys-- boys of ACTION! Boys who are always out DOING things! George Washington, father of his country, was such a boy-- so was Abraham Lincoln!"

Look at this goddamn little scramp

Our cat Weasel. She is various shades of orange, with darker orange tiger stripes. She is laying in a sort of half-turn, exposing her tum, eyes mostly closed, her tail jutting off at a jaunty angle. She is laying on top of a quilt that is itself on top of a blanket. There are other, unseen blankets, because it is very cold. She is: a good kitty.
