If you had a TARDIS, where/when would you go?
I think I would spend a lot of time at the Library of Alexandria before it's destruction, or the House of Wisdom before the Mongols razed it.

Who is/was your celebrity crush/hall pass/"I understand" person.
Here's mine. Her smile melts my heart, she was so smart, resilient, and just seemed to be a good dooby all around.

Question of the day: Do you ever find yourself consciously switching which side you're chewing on, because you're afraid of wearing down one side too much?

Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign.
Together we were able to do things never seen in American politics, to set a new standard from what we should expect from the people who try to represent us.
What we built matters, regardless of the outcome. And the work isnβt over.
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say βSend meβ wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
Word mystery of the day!
What do the bark of a tree and the skin of an orange have in common, linguistically?

Ok, chorus/choir nerds, who remembers their Hallelujah Chorus? Just popped up in my random list, and apparently over a quarter century later, I still remember the tenor part.

Anyone else feel that "missing dog" in the #Ring commercial could easily be switched to "suspicious person" as deemed by whoever? Easy tool for geh stah poh use...
@iwriteok.bsky.social Just getting through BtB:Children of God you did with Ed Helms. Fun fact, the name Hjalmar comes from the Old Norse "helmeted warrior". So...Helmed.
Me: *Finally* have some time to play AC: Shadows. Don't have much time to play, so make it count!
Also Me: *chasing white Akita puppy around temple* Let me pet you! I must have all the doggos!

I didn't just get into a half hour long fugue analyzing why a singer sang a song a certain way, getting a crash course in Irish dialect differences, lenition and mutation in (i.e. why words suddenly sprout extra letters), and Irish singing techniques. All because he pronounced a T like Ts.
You did.
Kind reminder: Just because the mango puppetman SAYS that burning Teslas should be considered domestic terrorism does not mean laws magically are written as he talks. He SAYS a lot of things. It doesn't make it reality and suddenly laws are changed. Still property damage, though...

When it comes down to it, singing is expertly manipulating air through a wet flesh tube. Playing a wind instrument is one tube blowing another tube. Thanks for getting this idea in my head, @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social . Now I can't stop iterating...
π¨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.
REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!
Had to dig around in the basement for some paperwork, found this gem.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (in California)...
