i wrote this months ago. might have some edits to make

50007: Second draft

T.J. Bro I have been trying to hit you up for months. I got something for you.

JUICE. hit me

T.J. Sliced ketchup. Sliced mustard. Sliced mayonnaise. Sliced hot sauce. Sliced ranch dressing. All solid.

JUICE. hold up here

T.J. I figured out how to stabilize sauces and shit. No more fuckin' with the little packets. No more stupid bottles. It just comes out of a can like cranberry sauce. You can slice it like a butter knife.

JUICE. hooooold up here

T.J. Yeah. It's mad congealed. And that means shit doesn't spill everywhere or come out the sides when you make a sandwich.

JUICE. this also means, and i'm sorry if i'm jumpin to conclusions here, i just feel as though we opened the ark of the condiment. this means that an addition such as ketchup could be regarded not as a condiment of fluid and indeterminate quantity but a signature filling, a stackable, countable food integer. no longer will one ask for some ketchup. one will ask for a ketchup

T.J. See, you get it. You're seein' the vision here, bro. You got, like, special glasses where you can see the vision.

TEN. You're just describing glasses, I think.

new video coming out. this week,

Robotlick1: To me they are the apex of power metal. Its like power metal done perfectly. Its not that its another genre, its just that the other band are so far from perfect that blind guardian perfection sound like a different genre.

MadTheMad: Do you still suck Blind Guardian's cock on a daily basis?

Robotlick1: Sadly, no, because i dont live in germany/cant follow them on tour, but if they we're to knock on my door and ask me to suck their cock, I would drop on my knees and open my mouth. not because I would enjoy it, but because they fucking deserve a blowjob. What about you? Do you sitll blindly follow whatever the flavor of the month is or do you know what true love is?

saw someone promote a book with a collage of out of context negative reviews recently, and i thought it'd be fun to do for some of the older lgbt sci-fi books i've read - starting with: the fortunate fall (1996) by cameron reed (🧵) #books

The cover of The Fortunate Fall by Cameron Reed with various review fragments on it, reading:
"too philosophical and perhaps a bit too wistful."
"frankly inhumane,"
"Something about a conspiracy, blah blah, some very dramatic lesbian love story, yada yada and also a whale. I didn't really get it,"
"all that for a woke mind virus?"
"All too often, it reads like a poor translation of substandard Dostoevsky updated to the cyber era by a middling undergrad theology student."
"too much philosophy"
"I had no idea what was going on."

Garffeld

Three panel comic of an homage to the first Garfield strip, but Jon is a monk and Garfield is a medieval rendering of a cat. In the first panel, Jon says, “HWÆT, LAM JON ARBUCKLE. I AM A MONK, AND THIS MY CATTE, GARFFELD.” In the second panel, Garffeld is thinking, “ HWÆT, I AM GARFFELD. I AM A CATTE, AND THIS IS MY MONK, JON.” In the last panel, Jon says, “OUR ONLY THOUGHT IS TO GLORIFY GOD.” Garffeld thinks, “FEDE ME.”

I'm telling you, there's something special about this Ghost Table story. If people are gonna remember anything about this issue, it'll be this one

Cover of the February 1928 issue of Weird Tales, featuring THE GHOST TABLE by Elliot O'Donnell. A man holds a fainting woman while pointing his gun towards the titular entity

Table of contents for February 1928: The Ghost-Table by Elliot O'Donnell; The Call of Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft; The Shadow on the Moor by Stuart Strauss; The Curse of Alabad, Ghinu and Aratza by Wilfred B.Talman

unfortunately for john tolkien the only two explanations for that many aristocratic male characters with no mentioned offspring are homosexuality or wall to wall bastards. it’s either other men or illegitimacy as far as the eye can see

This one's interesting because it's a concept album. I haven't figured out all the plot details, but it definitely takes you on a journey

oh yeah, there I was mainly referring to the common perception of D&D as a straightforward Tolkien clone. Now that I think about it, the history of orcs would be a fun topic to dive into, though I'm sure that one's already been done before

Orogeny Vexrede @vexrede.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

anyway. ultimate Gygax moment: the reason that drow are matriarchal is because that's just a natural extension of their innate evil

Forum post from Gary Gygax: "The Drow are as they are because they are evil, subterranean elves.

When I conceived the race they were meant to be fascinating and horrid at the same time, the most powerful and most malign group in the vast Underdark. They are like no other humanoid or demi-human race. It is thus natural that the female of the species is larger and more powerfyl than the male."

It didn't really cross my mind, but there's definitely lots that could be said about it. I realized while scripting out the video that a full survey of the most notable works would end up being way longer than I wanted, so I had to just keep to a handful of examples
