Today we lost Walter Koenig. Some thoughts about a fine actor and genuinely nice guy....

I mean look at this magnificent bastard, how could you not love him every time he was on screen

NATHAN FIELDER: So now that you’ve seen it, can you tell me what was funny about that bit? ELIZABETH HOLMES: *smiling like the Smile Demon from the Smile horror movie series* The guy took a really long time to describe what his family’s act was

I'm dying laughing at how the cat has conformed to her flower shaped bed today

BREAKING NEWS: “Do geese see God” is a palindrome

M&S Custard Cream Spread: Britain has completed food One jar of M&S Custard Cream Spread has caused us to question civilisation, breakfast, mashed potato and the limits of human restraint @willyandbill.bsky.social

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Part of me is sad that this story arc is ending, but I'm also immensely grateful that it was able to reach an actual conclusion after The Escapist's demise. Even having never watched any D&D-based stories before, I cannot recommend this series enough. Easily one of the best things on YouTube.

This guy wants to know if you're for real right now

If there’s a “revolution,” it will not be the Socialist Founding Fathers drafting resolutions in your city hall. It will be angry men with guns, careening through your community on jeeps. Which men? Why, the ones who’ve *always* wanted to do just that, ever since they were angry adolescents.

the intro to Batman: The Animated Series is one of the single best bits of storytelling ever done in any medium, an absolute masterpiece of character and atmospheric development achieved in a single minute with no dialogue

We like to give all the animators on Adventure is Nigh! freedom to interpret the scenes however they want…. Maybe that was a mistake!!!

Daily bunny no.3394 would much rather be with the boys

I wrote a comedy textbook about Native American history, people and culture! It's called “We’ve Been Here The Whole Time! A Not So Sacred Guide to All Things Native America.” It’s like if The Daily Show or The Onion wrote a book about Indian Country.

Yes.

OK.

RIP Wally Funk (1939-2026), one of the Mercury 13 (which inspired For All Mankind) Also: "In July 2021. Funk became the oldest woman to travel to space at the age of 82. During the 11-minute flight, Funk experienced a few moments of weightlessness and marveled at the darkness of space."

Guys I can’t keep doing this independently. I need a job. If you know of a place—advocacy, OSINT org, think tank, left media, etc—where I could take this work in-house, pls let me know. I admire the folks making independent work for them, but I am collapsing under the weight and the lack of impact.

WAIT FOR IT WAIT. FOR. IT! 🪶 🐣

I’m sure tonight’s display will be impressive but it will be hard to top July 4, 1987. youtu.be/4Ah2I166f_U?...

“OK, we gotta name these prickly guys next. Sort of a small porcupine. I was thinking—“ “Hog.” “You already named the big pink one hog.” “OK. Hog 2. “These are different. They live in shrubs and hedges.” “Hedge Hog.” “Fine, but last one. This next guy lives underground, scared of his shadow…”

John Bolton, who reportedly has reached a plea deal, is not another retribution prosecution, even though Trump hates him. There’s actually evidence and comparable people have been prosecuted. He’s the exception that proves the rule.

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

How to make tea, the right way

Pope Releases Encyclical On Perils Of Disney’s ‘Star Wars’ Strategy

Long before ANDOR, BABYLON 5 warned us of how fascism raises quitely and slowly until it feels “normalized.” Heck, even predicted the use of blonde-haired woman used as the “pleasant” face of the movement. And the use of “aliens” as the scapegoat.

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

I did not know Colbert when I sat beside him at his desk. The first time we shook hands was just prior to this photo being taken, when I walked onto his stage and, under the applause, he asked if he had properly pronounced my last name. Which he did.

The redistricting wars feel like the whole of modern American politics: Trump picks a stupid fight, wages it idiotically, Democrats fight back and win, then some other American institution suddenly chimes in to hand the win to Trump anyway for being a very special boy and everyone gets mad at Dems
