Pesky economics! Greasier and more prone to poor registration of colors, then!

I think I’ve read this one before.

Revelation 13:14- Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.

People the wizard likes, or the people who are trying to burn them alive? Or are those the same people? (I love that writing stories is often just asking yourself a series of questions and trying to figure out the answer that feels best.)

Isn’t this just the classic fire triangle ? (Heat, oxygen, fuel) Water’s biggest effect is lowering the heat below ignition temperature. www.firemarshaltraining.co.uk/blog/how-do-... Seems like your wizard could do the same thing. (Though where does the heat go? Is the wizard red-hot?)

I did not learn that verse when I learned the song in sixth grade!

Do they “give ‘em a lash of the bosun’s flipper?” I keep encountering recorded versions in pubs that omit that verse for some reason.

“Oh, a movie with Andrew Garfield as a medieval peasant!” “Here’s that Andrew Garfield movie again—WAIT—did it just say Robin Hood at the end?” “Now it STARTS with Robin Hood and ends with Robin Hood. And maybe some Andrew Garfield in there somewhere…?”

Experienced this cognitive dissonance watching 3 different commercials for this movie last night (during a 30-minute period) which seemed to show the marketers’ change of plans in real time.

Ah! The big ones used to come into our yard (after emerging from hibernation, I think—all covered in mud). Bigger than our dachshund!

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

Yeah, I’m a cranky old gen-xer, not a millennial, so maybe this speaks more to me. 🙃

Jealous! We were just looking for those today! Lotsa moon cakes, no almond cookies.

I could not figure out why I couldn’t find them anymore. I assumed it was because of grocery store stocking choices. Sad!

I also wonder how that dude pronounces everything else in his life. Maybe he's been saying it "jraphic" all this time. The color "jreen." It's so "jreat."

021

Matthew Holm @mattholm.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

This is my favorite/most-crazy-making thing about the whole GIF debate. The guy who invented the GIF insists it is pronounced with a "j" sound. But he invented the acronym from the word "Graphic." So it must be a hard "G", and he is clearly wrong, despite being the inventor.

Yep. Apparently it belonged to some Monks 1000 years ago, and the Italians remember it that way.

Conversely, nothing like being in Italy, having a conversation about Monaco in broken Italian for 5 minutes before realizing they are actually discussing a city in Germany.

When you visit a speed test web site, your ISP knows and deliberately boosts your throughput far above your normal, pitiful speed, so their service seems better than it is.

Wow. The bsky app preview is not anyone’s friend. I couldn’t figure out why games getting longer until 2020 was a good thing… until I clicked through and saw the more recent years.
