Fun Mike

Now I really want to go find that issue of the original GI Joe comic where a new island forms somewhere in the ocean and the Joes and COBRA fight for control of this very important piece of newly-formed rock, only for it to sink back into the water at the end.

This 👇 had me yelling YES!! over my coffee this morning. A decade of feeling like the only adult in a room full of 10 year old bullies.

@mls.bsky.social This is your multi-year official partner. I'm not naive enough to think you'd cancel the deal, but when can we expect a strongly-worded statement from Don Garber? How about an apology to your female fans? Or maybe even a minimum-effort "we're evaluating our options?"

#MusicSky I’m really enjoying all the videos from Rush’s current tour because Alex and Geddy are so clearly happy to be playing these songs again. It’s fun to watch people do something they love. youtu.be/xdQU28INKyc?...

During these awful times it’s always great when something amazing like this pops up on the timeline to give you hope for better days ahead

We could have this. But instead we get gold-plated statues and "renovations" that nobody needs or asked for.

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: Hi, I’m the rather large tree trunk that fell while you were swinging in your backyard and landed inches away from your head.

I stand with Dr. Anthony Fauci …because I value EVIDENCE over conspiracy, DATA over rumors, and SCIENCE over politics. No public official is beyond criticism, but there’s a difference between honest scientific guidance and misinformation. I’ll choose evidence EVERY time. #medsky #publichealth

Good thing we have corporate media save us from “socialist traps” like feeding hungry people

This x1,000,000

I love how covers can reveal something totally unexpected about a song. Like, when played on the clarinet, Exit Music (For a Film) actually sounds like something that would play over the credits of a 70's movie about Albert Brooks' marriage falling apart.

I have to admit, as a decades-long Rush fan, I was highly skeptical about this decision. I thought Neil was too crucial to Rush's sound for this to work, but I was wrong. Anika is a worthy successor.

Apologies for the “adult content” label – apparently the Renaissance-style painting on the album cover got flagged for a really, tiny, pixelated nipple

Anybody else secretly hoping that Artemis II would disturb an ancient race of aliens on the dark side of the moon who would come to Earth and take the world’s leaders hostage? #NASA #ArtemisII
