I feel this, every word of that, especially this week. I thankfully also have a LOT to be grateful for, including the really great students, but ever since yesterday I've been like HOW AM I GOING TO MAKE IT TROUGH THIS WEEK for some reason. My stomach hasn't been its best, also not helpful

I have been waiting for the game described here since I was 6 (when I used to play Vegas Dream on NES because I was obsessed with the character dialogue)

And when Howard Dean was deemed unelectable because he made a weird sound when he got a lot of primary votes?

A reminder for those at the back.

A redraw of the i nice panel from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, where Batman snaps a rifle in two over his knee.

He says "THIS is the weaponnof the enemy. We do not NEED it. We will not USE it."

I've replace the rifle with a plank of wood labelled "AI Slop"

from what I've read and seen, Lorne has never been an exceptionally well-adjusted dude. maybe his particular brand of insanity has gone from serving him well (because of luck? privilege? the '70's state of the industry? youth?) to .......not so much

fucking saddest fucking thing he was at Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque 8 days before his suicide, I keep thinking about how young he was during Breaking Bad and how it was shot there and fuuuuuuuuck I wonder if we'll ever know what he went through

.....fuck. even though I somehow haven't seen Breaking Bad, I was alerted by multiple people about this incredible actor when he broke out. "An ACTOR with CEREBRAL PALSY in HOLLYWOOD?!" It felt like something might actually change. I keep deleting what I'm writing. Devastating loss, no words for it

I saw this done on a train in NYC once. Dude was "explaining" to two women that the Dutch Kills are so-called because of all the killing and skinning of animals that went on there historically. SO FALSE IT'S ACTUALLY A DUTCH TERM MEANING "LITTLE STREAM" FROM BACK WHEN NYC WAS A DUTCH COLONY jfc

omg these aren't fighting words TO ME but apparently you're not familiar with the FIERCE subset of the female-and-nonbinary population that TRULY has the hots for Columbo. They are out there, and we can only hope they don't devour your mentions

I asked!! omg I have never seen such BAFFLEMENT as the bafflement I saw on their alert and curious faces when I described this expression one person proposed "I want to steal your voice like Ursula did to Ariel" which I support, but there seems to be no universal replacement

It'd be a different seasonal affair, though. I think bobbing for apples was originally a Halloween/Fall/Harvest party thing because apples are an autumn fruit one can bob for cherries in the summer, though!

It's called The Wicker Husband!! By Ursula Willis. And SHOOOOOOOOOT I found it a while back, like this summer maybe, and now when I search for it the author's website says it's not available online but will be reprinted soon as part of the film promo 😔 I wonder if it's in my downloads folder...

Sarah Sunfire @sarahsunfire.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

The original story this is based on is actually some SERIOUS horror-shit (not with Sir Basket but a different character). I'm wondering how much of that will be in the movie

how is it that prior to this semester I had never heard of the film Whiplash and now at least 6 of my students have written about it when given the opportunity? HOW DID I NEVER HEAR ABOUT THIS MOVIE, have all of you seen it??

new rule: if a university denied someone tenure, or let them go because it canceled their classes, or has shut down the department or program they used to teach in, that university's PR department forfeits the right to put out a celebratory statement when that person wins a Nobel

I've been obsessed with this unsolved case since this article was published and I reread it every October and every year it still creeps me the fuck out: www.thecut.com/article/the-...

The Haunting of a Dream House

A New Jersey family bought their ideal home. But according to the creepy letters they started to get, they weren’t the only ones interested in it.

Moore's whole thing (well, in part) is IF YOU TOO ARE NOT A WIZARD, YOU WILL FIND ME SCAAAAAARRRRRYYYYYY whereas Gaiman was always like "no one is sweeter or warmer or oh-gosh funnier than me, come on in, sit right next to me, drink this hot tea" in my experience those are typically ones to watch

can I ask what that means in this context? I've lived in both rural Georgia and rural Ohio since leaving San Francisco in 2023, so I ONLY associate California with all that's good these days.
