Today I managed to convince some people at work that I knew what I was talking about and now all I can think about is the Urban Sombrero from Seinfeld

In honor of space travel…

Five panels of Fry and The Professor from Futurama. Their conversation is as follows…

Fry: …as long as you don't make me smell Uranus.
Farnsworth: I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all..
Fry: Oh. What's it called now?
Farnsworth: Urectum.

Passed this delivery robot on the sidewalk and for a hot minute I genuinely wondered why they had given it the personality of Jar Jar Binks.

A food delivery robot. Its screen says “Misa is on duty.”

I know I’m seventy years late to this party but Night of the Hunter is easily one of the best films ever made. Highly, highly, highly recommend.

Hello new followers! If you’re looking for a cool, character driven adventure to sink into, I humbly direct you to Power Play - a TTRPG superhero epic I gm’d a few years back. It’s about a found family that helps each other survive and grow while fighting crime, capitalism, fascism and worse. (1/2)

Just learned that if you accept this $10 credit from Instacart when your shopper can’t find something, the duplicitous corporate a-holes take part of that money out of the shopper’s pocket while telling you it’s “on us” 🤬
