On the plus side, the uranium-235 cookies will probably stay warm a lot longer than the others.

Weird to see the proliferation over the years of think-pieces on the lack of libido in mainstream film. They act like it’s evidence that America is dead from the waist down – as if people can’t just go watch sex whenever they want, without having to share the experience with an auditorium full of people. Depictions of sexuality have just become more private, that’s all.

I think it’s the noise rather than simply the affection.

Extreme mouth noises bother some people. Not that I’d ever call anyone out on a train over it, but the sound of loud wet kissing gives me the creepy-crawlies in the same way that hearing someone sloppily eating a particularly juicy apple does.

Thank Bose for noise-cancelling earbuds.

After WotC overprinted cards, they essentially promised not to reprint certain ones. I think it’s a dumb decision, but they’ve annoyingly stuck to it

WotC goes out of its way to avoid upsetting the used market/card arbitrage people. If they did a reprint of Black Lotus, the howl of anger from those folks would shake the Earth from its orbit.

“Red 5, standing by.”

“Chirp chirp, chirp chirp!”

I love them all of course, but mouse is my favorite 🐁

“Bah gawd, that’s daddy’s music!”

Bike theft is such a problem where I live I’ve been very hesitant to get another one. If they can’t get the whole bike, they’ll wrench off tires/seats, etc. My town might be an outlier, but I wonder how other people deal with this kind of thing when their bike is their primary form of transport.

More like “Crappy Bird” right?

I know it’s not a solution, but the libraries where I live provide water, shelter, bathrooms, and outlets to charge a phone when they’re open. They keep longer hours and serve as cooling/heating centers during heatwaves and cold snaps, and host agents from a number of supportive services a couple of days a week. I know it’s not their job, and that there should be dedicated, fully funded solutions for these things, but some library systems are trying very hard to meet people’s needs where other government services aren’t.

And if your library provides access to Hoopla, there’s also free movies and manga.

If this were the movie version of Bane, his dialog would read as, “Mmmph mm-mmph, mmph.”

Not a fan of the Bear Force One deck, then.

“We are discreet. But we also think it’s funny.”

“Oh boy.”

Perhaps it is naive to tell stories of a powerful being who remains uncorrupted by power. But perhaps it is also naive to tell stories of a man who can fly like a bird. Suggesting that making up fantastical, magical human beings is sensible in itself, and that it is nonsense to then imagine them being both good and powerful seems like an insult to imagination altogether. But I suppose that it’s easier for some people to re-imagine the laws of physics than it is for them to temporarily quiet their lack of faith in humanity long enough to enjoy a movie.

Girl is tired of capchas, junk fees, and other irritations when using big tech apps and websites, she then fights and kills the physical manifestation of all of those annoyances. But it turns out that there’s a large fee for killing the physical manifestation of those annoyances. The central theme is that regardless of what you do, the big tech companies will get what they want in the end.
