absolutely wheezing at an Instagram clip of comic Stevie Martin (who I love from being a maniac on Taskmaster) claiming that Shakespeare only had three plays: 1. “I’m Not a Good Monarch” 2. “I’ll Pretend To Be You, You Hide Behind That Plant, and We’ll Both Marry Her” 3. “The Lion King”

Without changing a single word... What Star Trek episode or film title could also be a porn title? "The Devil in the Dark"

How *does* she live with an eternity of burying her friends?

Twilight Sparkle confronts the caged shade of the antagonist Grey Thorn in a scene form the fic epic "Elegy."

Scene from the fic epic "Elegy" (accompanies the other image in this post). Text reads:
"What then?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, it's highly likely you are now, if not immortal, nearly enough so as to make no difference. What's to be your place as the Princess of Friendship in a world of friends you must watch die over and over for centuries?"
Twilight chewed her lip: “I-I’ll figure it out. Celestia and Luna will—"
Grey Thorn raised an eyebrow: "Do what? Celestia rides above it all, largely divorced from the day-to-day lives and deaths of mortal ponies, and Luna lurks in the shadows, indulging in endless memories and the narcotic charms of sleep."
Grey Thorn shook his head: "No, child, they will offer you a bit of pat solace as you stand over your friends' ever-fresh graves, but they will shrug and move on as they always have. You will be burdened with constantly making and nurturing and burying friends—it is your fate, your duty."
Twilight began to breathe heavily: "But I'll remember them, and—"
"And how does that help? They'll haunt you, and even your time as Harbinger brought you no closer to the answer of their ultimate fate. You don't seem the type who enjoys unanswered riddles, so it will gnaw at you in a way it never has for the Sisters."
Twilight gritted her teeth and squeezed her eyes tight: "It doesn't matter. That's not your problem—and it's not my problem right now, either!"
Grey Thorn smiled lightly: "No, your problem is to save yet another friend for the brief time she has left in this world."

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: "Hi, I'm Colorado winter!" (Winter '81, hypothermia from snowcaving; '82, almost asphyxiating while buried in a snow cave; '82, patch of black ice sent me within 8 feet of a ravine)

This! A thousand times this! "AI" is now a vapid, catch-all marketing term that has swept up all the real, value-added machine learning tools that have been developed over the last 30 years, and poured useless LLM plagiarism machine goop all over them!

Robert Zemeckis et al didn't do, well <waves hands at *everything*> in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" just so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Watching some YouTube analysts/reactors listening to Pink Floyd (most are pretty good), but at least half violate the cardinal rule: "Do NOT talk over a David Gilmour solo!"

Garffeld

Three panel comic of an homage to the first Garfield strip, but Jon is a monk and Garfield is a medieval rendering of a cat. In the first panel, Jon says, “HWÆT, LAM JON ARBUCKLE. I AM A MONK, AND THIS MY CATTE, GARFFELD.” In the second panel, Garffeld is thinking, “ HWÆT, I AM GARFFELD. I AM A CATTE, AND THIS IS MY MONK, JON.” In the last panel, Jon says, “OUR ONLY THOUGHT IS TO GLORIFY GOD.” Garffeld thinks, “FEDE ME.”

Explain your @: My @ is literally just my name, but as for my *handle*, I started watching "Bleach" in late '06, and introduced it to my kids in '07. They then wanted to wear the characters' iconic garb that Halloween, so they went as shinigami, & I adopted the sobriquet "ShinigamiDad" as a result.
