Xena is popping up on my feeds for some reason and I'm reminded of how I when I visited my gay aunty she had a PlayStation and the only game she had was Xena.

In aviaries there have been occasions where small birds have pecked larger birds to death by sitting on the back of their head and I wonder if that freaks the fuck out of Big Bird.

I wonder which angel talked God out of making it so if you block someone's nostrils just as they sneeze it blows the back of their skull out.

To improve my mental health I stopped reading the works of Frank Herbert on a single rolled piece of parchment. I really recommend giving up Dunescrolling.

I remember when craft breweries called their beers fun names like Hoptimus Prime or Pils n Thrils but then they all died in that fire.

It's hard to say why there's a universal love of sitting by an open fire but my theory is that we all hate trees.

A business posted on our community page saying "Dads, have you left Mothers Day to the last minute? We've got something for ya." They sell cleaning products. Good luck fellas.

There's something very cool about Sam Neill, the face of one of the most iconic uses of gene technology in film, being successfully treated for cancer by gene technologies.

What if they set up webcameras on either end of the Strait of Hormuz and viewers could open up the doors like those fish in the Netherlands.

It's April 2nd, the Strait of Hormuz is opening for tankers. From out of the mists charges the Ever Given, prepared to do the funniest thing in maritime history.

I like describing my current YouTube interest in misleading but still accurate ways to see if anyone can guess. For example, right now I'm enjoying watching three twinks play hide and seek across Europe.

YouTube ads think I'm a gym fanatic but in reality I'm hooked on the high caffeine powdered drinks they sell on clearance. For 20 bucks you too can stare calmly into the face of reality itself.

Just think, there was probably a guy we could have killed two hundred years ago and ended up with a world where we're all moderately wealthy and generally horny.

A picture of Flynn Rider from Tangled with a whole lot of swords pointed at him in the classic unpopular opinion meme.
