@kimspirit.bsky.social, this is the picture that my friend posted in response to what I was telling you about. imgur.com/a/k48UB1X
@kimspirit.bsky.social here's a Calvin and Hobbes edit I'd wager good money that you'd appreciate:
Another advantage to not drinking alcohol: I don’t have to panic about one of my pets drinking from my glass. ( @kimspirit.bsky.social tagged for cat tax enforcement) (Please pardon my daughter’s cacophony in the background)
A reminder that Seth MacFarlane’s homage to Trek, “The Orville”, featured a plot line of an exiled leader of the female Moclans looking for a revolutionary anthem, and he chose Parton’s “9 To 5” as the voice they’re use. She licensed its use in a truly epic sci-fi battle. youtu.be/caBzvF9hwkI?...
.. and the aforementioned leader hearing this anthem for the first time. Again, classic Seth and his love of pop culture references, even asynchronous ones.. but look at how the actress playing the female Moclan prophet emotes with her eyes. The love is real. youtu.be/qaujMuj63jg?...
“When she shines for me at night And her skies show green and white She will keep us in her sight We all lie beneath her light” (With apologies to @supergiantgames.bsky.social) (Also tagging @kimspirit.bsky.social so she can see my intense prep before tomorrow’s big Canada Day tournament)
Garage poker is the best poker. @kimspirit.bsky.social tagged because I can’t send these directly.
Still, to this day, the greatest of all the Gru memes. ( @kimspirit.bsky.social tagged for approval )
The Myth of Narcissus, Golden Retriever edition. ( @kimspirit.bsky.social)
@kimspirit.bsky.social I believe I referenced this combination meme in summarizing why I love De Verdad Grande Americano
@wychstreet.bsky.social a question for you: It is close to 1am on a Saturday. You are at home listening to Pulp’s “Different Class”. You hear the line “She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge”. What is the percent chance that, in 30 seconds’s time, you will have a rum and Coca-Cola?

RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!” The Who: "That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball!”
RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!” “A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”
@kimspirit.bsky.social I suddenly find myself with the yips 15 minutes before my first live (over the internet) lesson with someone who will hopefully be my in-person Spanish teacher. So I read the student testimonials on her website. This was the first one. CLEARLY a sign amirite?
Heya @kimspirit.bsky.social, found another Classical Mythology meme you might appreciate.
@kimspirit.bsky.social knows what Conan does not; that THIS is what is best in life :)
@kimspirit.bsky.social it’s my new poker hero, Mr. Addington!
@dicknixon.bsky.social I just turned off the radio playing the late night hockey game out of LA, and now I see the election results.. are these really as profound as I’m thinking they are?
@kimspirit.bsky.social, the good lady's reaction to me sharing the news of this monumental anniversary.
Headlines like this aren't proof that the sports / gambling legalization connection is failing, it's proof that it's working. Before the wide legalization of sports betting, investigations like this were much harder to conduct and rooting out illegal gambling was far, far harder.
After this news report, stay tuned for some exciting messages from our sponsors: Draft Kings, Bet365, and FanDuel! www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Textbook example of 1st Amendment "peaceably assemble", never mind that that's a man of the cloth calling for humanity that they just, you know, shot in the head.
Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center. The brutality of this regime is on full display.
I do love the coy infusion of progressive talking points here, but they're quite valid -- the first step to a more fulfilling life is a better life :) and I cannot emphasize enough how much those third places matter. The internet is great. The internet is not a third place.
the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)
Falsely suggesting I'm singling out transgender individuals, but otherwise, yes, when KYC-grade human verification is required on social media, it is then and only then the infestation of bots, outrage farms, and vile anonymous trolls will finally happen. Until then, the enshittification continues.
