Yellow Submarine. My dad had a special VHS copy that was yellow, and as a kid I was so confused and obsessed with how weird it was that I watched it over and over trying to understand it.

The Inner Light is a beautiful episode of television. I've cried watching it. One of my absolute favorite Star Trek episodes. For people that haven't seen it, Picard is playing a flute in the art. He is NOT hitting the space vape for fat rips.

Just watched all the new Star Trek announcements, and I have a lot of comments, thoughts, and questions. Most pressing of all right now is, why is Chekov's head like that

I think one of the reasons I love studying human evolution as a special interest is because it consistently proves that finding methods and technology to help others survive who wouldn't have survived before is what eventually made us human.

"These people with these problems wouldn't have survived in ancient times." Bitch, YOU wouldn't have survived in ancient times, with your big calorie hungry lobes.

This is not even getting into how in more recent history we've refined medicine, public health, etc, to basically ensure way more humans survive to adulthood. That's more brains with more ideas getting to contribute to the fabric of humanity, even in the smallest ways.

You'll often hear stories about neanderthals and ancient humans who were profoundly disabled and clearly only lived as long as they did because of the care of their communities. But it goes deeper than that.

Big brains take a lot of energy. Australopithecus and possibly their predecessors finding and refining methods to obtain more calories for less effort allowed larger brained hominids, who would otherwise been unable to balance obtaining and expending energy, to live, mate, and iterate further.

I'll always find it really funny that Canadians will go on about how poutine is a super indulgent unhealthy food, and restaurants in the states took one look at it and said "you know what this needs? Hamburger meat."

Me and @bugsmaytrix.bsky.social sit down and ACTUALLY JUST READ THAT ESSAY that everyone uses to defend shit it doesn't talk about at all.

Open Tabs Cast@opentabscast.bsky.social

NEW OPEN TABS! This one's even kinda... Smart people shit? Sort of, we read and discuss the full text of The Death of the Author essay (yes the FULL text) but Sydney and Bugs are still both consuming substances while they do it. opentabs.libsyn.com/2-12-the-dea...

My time in late game Pokopia has been spent basically pushing the game's definition of a "house" as far as it will go. First one is a tree house for the Rowlett line, second is a structure I made for my Cut Bug Bros (Scyther, Pincer, and Heracross)

I can see that I'm starting to slide into some serious burnout and I don't know how to stop. Can't afford to take time off work. Can't even really afford to reduce my work hours. Thinking about having to start my work week tomorrow is overwhelming.

"I've gone through all these steps to talk to various medical professionals and am now even wearing a heart monitoring device for a week but surely I'm overreacting, can't possibly have POTS or something similar, and I just need to-" *steps out of van, walks 2 steps up driveway, is nearly KO'd"

Currently sitting in the back of my work van with two bulldogs wandering around my legs making pig noises. You will be washed soon dogs. As soon as my vision isnt as spotty.

Check in for game 2 to see if I once again do this

My big silly big dog ran me over on Sunday and we're both playing the price - so as karmic justice I'm gonna run my friends over with a big trampling dog in Commander tonight! Playing with @girldickenergy.bsky.social and @ambivalentagender.bsky.social right now! 👉 twitch.tv/tappytoeclaws 👈

I remember when we made the song I was cleaning the litter box and most of it was @truphantomangel.bsky.social throwing out lyrics while I would occasionally shout "THAT DOESN'T SCAN" between scoops

Bryan, Yay! Unions!@truphantomangel.bsky.social

This still is one of my and @ambivalentagender.bsky.social proudest moment in the MTG community (and that is saying something) 😂 youtu.be/1wXIPvXj61I?...

Hey, if anyone finds a a Lorcana deck box here at MagicCon Vegas, with Aladdin on it, please let me know. It could be around the cosplay contest tables, or Gather’s Tavern or Gamegenic. I lost it somewhere around there before the contest.
