The IOC told me crocodiles keep eating its athletes so I asked how many athletes they have and they said they just go to the list of alternates and get new athletes afterwards so I said it sounds like they're just feeding Olympic athletes to crocodiles and then the color commentators started crying.

A lot of great roles being mentioned today, but I also think he's underrated as the perfect evil scientist Dr. Anton Sevarius in Gargoyles. A memorable villain on a show filled with memorable villains.

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 25/08/2026
🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting.
What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. 
Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it.
Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. 
This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. 
No Contract? No Coffee.

*clears throat* *taps mic* I had some edits thank you to @sbarolo.bsky.social and @ajdemas.bsky.social for their Jeremiah and Lazarus jokes which gave me the idea for this
extremely cringe early 2000s youth group-looking poster, gray background with aggressive black and white text of all different sizes (chaotic. terrible design). The header reads “DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK GOD CAN’T USE YOU?” and it WAS followed by a list of Bible figures with their various “faults.” I have very poorly photoshopped in some corrections. My version reads as follows:

NOAH INVENTED RAINBOWS (GAY)

FATHER ABRAHAM HAD SEVEN SONS

IF ISAAC CHOTINER CALLS, DO NOT PICK UP 

JACOB WRESTLED WITH AN ANGEL (ALSO GAY)

LEAH I HAVE NO BEEF WITH

ELIJAH WAS A REAL BAAL BUSTER (insert Dad Joke groan I’m so sorry)
