I'm oddly nostalgic for Chappell Roan's song "Good Luck, Babe!". The first time I heard the ending I thought I was having a stroke.

My first five table top RPGs played: 1. Moldvay's "Dungeons and Dragons: Basic" 2. TSR's "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" 3. Read and planned (but never actually played) Victory Games' "James Bond 007" 4. West End Games' "Star Wars" 5. GDW's "Twilight: 2000"

How cool is this? I found this in our till this morning...an American coin from 1917! Imagine the stories it could tell. #StandingLibertyQuarter

Oh, cool! I see @nosuchthingpod.bsky.social is covering a classic..."Hellraiser III"! I've been trying forever to find a physical copy of this. I can't wait to listen to this episode and hear what they think! Also remember, Motörhead is spelled with an umlaut! \m/ ('~') \m/

Dear Ruffles, While I appreciate your "Suggested Serving" suggestion, I can assure you I will be eating more than three chips. Love, John

Share a horror TV show you love. 📺😱 My choice: Star Trek TOS. Mike Stoklasa of @redlettermedia.com has often suggested that many episodes of the original series are straight up horror stories, and I find that an interesting take.

I wonder if there are graded copies of "Beckett Baseball Card Monthly" magazines from the late 80s out there that people collect.

It's a shame I use my brain to try to remember if Freddie or Eddie was the square Shreddie instead of things like where my car keys are

For me it was the birth of the Human-Visitor baby in 1984's "V: The Final Battle", specifically the jump scare of the baby's forked tongue. I got so frightened I turned off the television in sheer terror. The next day at school I learned there was a twin...

I caught a rerun of the "Cold Hands Warm Heart" episode of The Outer Limits when I was maybe five or so, and those shadowy glimpses of the floating, writhing, glowing-eyed alien creature that William Shatner encounters introduced some hard-core terror into my soul.

Hideaki Anno's Neon Genesis Evangelion started 31 years ago today on Tokyo TV. 🎵Zankoku na tenshi no you ni Shounen yo shinwa ni nare!🎵 Can't wait for the new Evangelion show by Yoko Taro.

I stepped outside with our dogs and saw how beautiful of a day it is and thought "Wow, it's a crisp as an autumn apple" and was immediately disgusted with myself

I was about to gripe that I had to pay $2.50 today to pump up my tires at a gas station, when in the past it used to be free. Then I realized I'm just complaining about inflation.

I'm not proud of this joke. I was really shocked to see you can use a credit card to use the compressor. I remember the old pumps mounted on a wall that had an analogue bell and everything.

I'm a fool for Wolf Alice, and I'm going to say that Theo Ellis deserves more attention.

I feel like we all need a universal coping mechanism. So let’s share your favourite bass guitarist or bassist. 

Watched 1986's "Transformers: The Movie" in the theatre tonight, forty years after seeing it on the big screen as a kid. It's always amazing to watch a text from your youth and reflect on what it means to you as the years go by.

I've always wanted to play "Go"...I bought a board and everything! However, nobody I know wants to or has the time to play. Is there anyone on Bluesky who can tell me about an app or an online kind of thing where a total rookie like me can learn to play?

We never imagined how far that dream would travel, into homes, into hearts, into the way generations imagined what we could still become. In a world that often feels as divided as ever, maybe that's exactly why we need it now: a reminder that unity was always the point.
