Criticism of the "vote blue no matter who" and "vote for the lesser evil" centrists carries more weight if you're not also trying to justify helping the greater evil win by refusing to vote against it.

"Who was your first anime crush?" Star Blazers (the English dub of Uchuu Senkan Yamato) was my gateway drug to anime fandom, and I had such a crush on Nova back then.

Today I i learned just how good ricotta and roasted garlic taste together.
The Meatball, Ricotta, and Roasted Garlic pizza that I had for lunch today. If you have not tried this, you have been missing out on something wonderful.

Sai argued that Robocop isn't cyberpunk because OCP hasn't entirely overtaken control of the government. This makes her argument that Judge Dredd is cyberpunk especially hilarious, since corporations have even less real power in that than they do in Robocop.

Pete Buttigieg is trying a new look in the hopes of convincing Democrats that he's a serious presidential contender, but all it made me think was "No, we have the John Simm Master at home."

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains.
The cover of The La's self-titled album. This is one of the most perfect pop albums ever released, and the fact that it isn't better known is a goddamned crime.

Season's Greetings, y'all.

This might be the dumbest meme I have ever made. I am so proud of myself.

A screenshot of the infamous Folger's Coffee Christmas Incest ad, showing the sister sticking a bow onto the brother's shirt as she says "You're my present this year."

A caption was added to it that says "THE BEST PART OF WAKING UP JUST GOT REALLY FUCKING AWKWARD."

Seriously, who approved this ad?

A feral mama and some of her kittens that I've been leaving food out for. They're still too skittish to let me get close, but the girls will come up and yell at me as I'm filling up their bowl.
A tabby cat and her tabby kitten. Baby is standing behind mama for protection while mama watches to make sure that I'm not going to try anything she would object to.Two calico kittens. One of them is feigning nonchalance while the other is impatiently waiting for me to fill their bowl with food and then go away.

"People died because of your acronym" is such a beautifully executed bit of foreshadowing, and I don't say that just because I was one of the people who died because of it. Greatest respect to @shaenon.bsky.social and Jeffrey Wells on this one.

In 1978, Richard Donner said "You will believe a man can fly." In 2025, James Gunn said "You will believe a man can be kind." They were both correct.

Every so often, when things get too dark to deal with and I need to remind myself that hope still exists, I reread the post someone wrote about how reading All-Star Superman saved their life, and it helps.
A screenshot of a page from All-Star Superman #10 where Superman saving a young girl who had been about to jump off a tall building, along with a post someone wrote about how reading that comic had made the writer decide not to end their life. 

"It's never as dark as it seems," Superman tells the girl, then adds "You're much stronger than you think you are. Trust me."

And if you're feeling lost and alone as you're reading this, and thinking of ending it all, I hope that you choose to stay alive instead.

It's never as dark as it seems.

You're much stronger than you think you are.

Trust me.

This has me rereading the comic, and my Inner English Major is now wondering whether the VR cables hanging off the back of Nick's helmet in the 9-19 comic might have been a foreshadowing of Princess Nick from later on?
