“We’ve taken the sophisticated view of the idea of sex, you know, and music... and putting it in a hardware store.”

I learned that from an 1811 political cartoon!

A snapping Turtle, standing on a Document labeled LICENSE, bites the Hip of a Man, thereby preventing him from carrying a Barrel marked SUPERFINE to a Rowboat, with a British Ship visible out to Sea. A Spectator points and laughs, “D—n it, how he nicks ’em,” while the upset Victim of the vicious Bite exclaims, “Oh! this cursed Ograbme”

“It’s a process. They do it to the meat.”

“It’s a meat process.” Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy Summers, wearing a fast food employee uniform, holding a burger, and looking dubious; from the little-loved season six episode “Doublemeat Palace.” (The Scoobies suspected the burgers were made with human; testing revealed they were mostly cellulose, not meat at all.)

…and the state of medical research was foretold in Carnival Magic (1983)! “Trivia: Trudi the Chimp injured several members of the cast and crew. She head-butted the script supervisor, causing a concussion that put him in the hospital for several days.” www.imdb.com/title/tt0207...

Movie poster for Carnival Magic (1983), an illustration depicting various midway rides, a tiger trainer, and a man in a black jumpsuit dancing with a chimpanzee in a yellow jumpsuit. (It also lists some of the cast and crew, which is nice for them, but it’s not like you’d recognize any of the names.)

y’all I hate to milkshake duck here but it ain’t great en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debra_M...

Debra met Steven Williams, known on-screen as Stone Cold Steve Austin, in 1998; they moved in together in 2000.[2] On September 13 of that year, they married at The Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, and she changed her name to Debra Williams.[1][2] On June 15, 2002, police responded to a call to the couple's residence in San Antonio, Texas, and found Debra with bruises and a bloody nose.[38] On August 14, the authorities arrested Austin and charged him with misdemeanor assault.[39] He pleaded no contest on November 25 and received a year's probation, a $1,000 fine, and an order to carry out eighty hours of community service.[39] Austin filed for divorce from Marshall on July 22, 2002, and the divorce was finalized on February 5, 2003.[40] Marshall later auctioned her wedding ring off on eBay for $27,100 and donated a portion of the proceeds to "Safe Place", an organization which assists the victims of domestic abuse.[41]

In June and July 2007, Marshall made several appearances to discuss the Chris Benoit double-murder and suicide. She described steroids and drugs as the cause of Austin hitting her in June 2002 and suggested links between such substances and the death of Benoit and his family.[42] She also alleged that Austin beat her three times.[42][43]

I can tell you the first two (technically three) CDs I bought, but I no longer remember the order. (It might have been the same shopping trip, actually.)

The Best of the Velvet Underground: Words and Music of Lou Reed (in a CD jewelcase). By the end of high school I had their full available discography on CD (except Live MCMXCIII, which I dubbed to tape from the 2xCD version which I checked out from the library, because I could only find the 1xCD version in stores).

Pink Floyd: The Wall, in a double CD jewelbox (the kind with the thick black center). It blew my mind in the 9th grade, but my parents’ reaction was “wow, this is really pretentious.” In hindsight, they were really right. By college, the only Floyd I still listened to was _Wish You Were Here_ and occasionally _Meddle_.

#128 in 09-04, at around 3pm. Definitely not just the usual primary turnout of sickos here! (overheard: “‘Ol’ [sic] Viking Savior’?! Is that a religion thing?”)

UPDATE: @northofnow.bsky.social found the bullet! It was hidden amid clutter on the floor on the other side of the bed. Uh, it’s larger than I expected 😬

It’s a bullet. Big hunk of… well, some copper alloy, I guess? I’m not a gun person. It’s damaged, what with going through two panes of glass and some aluminum window hardware and all.

Another angle of the bullet. The side where it struck the window hardware is deformed and scraped and not copper-y; not sure if that’s the interior of the bullet, aluminum scraped off the window framing, or both. It’s next to a ruler for scale; it’s about 5/8" long if you ignore the deformed part.

like this wasn’t a GOOD choice but any useful temperature map (at least for Earth weather) is going to use an arbitrary y-axis, because the alternative is something like this:

A bar chart of high temperatures in Kelvin, where 0 on the y-axis is absolute zero; all the temperatures are either 306.5K or 307.6K, and the bars are indistinguishable in height

Inspired by that last reskeet: Every-Day Carry Masculine Emotion Chart for Manly Tactical Men (Also Available in Gunmetal)

An emotion chart: a wheel of three concentric rings and dozens of different words to express subtle variations of feelings. It has been separated into three categories. The entire wedge of Angry emotions is labeled “I’M 100% RATIONAL HI-IQ~!!!1!” The single emotion Aroused is labeled “(brb, goonin’)”. The entire rest of the chart, comprising the vast majority of the human emotional range, is labeled “WTF, BRO, THIS IS SO CRINGE”

He was happy in the daze of a sunny nap But heaven knows he’s miserable now He was screaming for wet meat, and then he got wet meat And heaven knows he’s miserable now

A poor, starvèd cat, who has never known love or affection, looks up with dismay at the camera from a cold stone floor. Neither the cat grass nor the catnip toy at his feet can compensate for the indignity of having received the food for which he so piteously begged

it’s usually best to keep the tumblr energy and the blooski energy separate, but this popped up on my feed over there and I need to share it here

we lost our Fluffernutter in January, and I chose to believe she just spent a few months hanging out in the bardo before returning as this sweetheart

Fluffernutter, a large longhair cat (possibly part Maine Coon?), sits in the corner of a blue velvet sofa. She was a very good cat.

I have to be honest. I’m not sure how to feel about this Luce mascot deal

A photo of “Le Génie du Mal” by Guillaume Geefs (1848) in St. Paul’s Cathedral of Liège, a classic white marble statue of a smokin’ hot Lucifer; the hair has been recolored bright blue to match that of Luce, the chibi anime-style mascot the Vatican announced for Holy Year 2025

Or, hear me out: for that mid-aughts, math-y side of indie rock, kind of flair…

One local BBS had TWO phone lines so you could chat to another user AND the sysop at the SAME TIME (when lag wasn’t too bad)! I preferred a different local BBS, though, because it had lots of doors
