The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is about, for all intents and purposes, intensive purposes of intentive porpoises.

Got spoons? This week on @onlyskymedia.bsky.social I talk about spoons a lot. onlys.ky/hope-you-hav...

The Magabros are just pissed at James Gunn’s Superman because it showed them their abused trophy wives would betray them in a heartbeat for schlelppy nobodies like Jimmy Olsen if given half a chance. ⁦

The Superman movie isn’t woke; it’s a Superman movie. A woke Superman movie would be a Lois Lane movie, and a whole lot more like All the President’s Men. Whole thing would take place in and around the Planet bullpen.

The bots— have they not figured out how to properly use an interrobang‽ Like you’d think since they’re not limited to qwerty keyboards they’d make better use of that one. Don’t think I’ve ever seen an LLM use one.

Me and Andrew Hall are back in the Naked Diner this week with University of Illinois Chicago History Chair Kevin M. Schultz to talk about his new book and the history of American Liberalism. I particularly enjoyed Professor Schultz’s extended Spiro Agnew rant. youtu.be/Rtn7cwQSq4c?...

Y’know what we had last time we did this big Middle East war stuff? Chronological timelines. That whole ceasefire fiasco would’ve been a lot more straightforward if everyone just still had chronological timelines.

You @cloudflare.social what’s up?

The announcement that Netflix will be getting Sesame Street lock, stock, and barrel seems like a pretty good deal. New episodes with continue to air on PBS, so that’s good.

Me and my bestie talking dad facts

@pontifexes.bsky.social … just sanyin’ man. Wanna come watch a movie about some Chicago boys who made good?

I hope the new pope can live up to the legacy of the greatest Catholic Missionaries to ever come from Chicago … St. Elwood and Brother Jake youtu.be/euJ22UqLD5Y?...

So these kids just said they’re going to maintain a 24/7 presence on the national mall calling for Trump’s impeachment … the more eyes the better www.youtube.com/live/tl8rXqx...

Look I’m just saying as an Irish-Catholic educated, 3/4 Ukranian, Satan-adjacent, Former Greek Orthodox, Red-blooded American Cis Het White dude … I have some thoughts. And they’re why I listen to stuff like this: youtu.be/aPfeOAhDfbM?...

@mspopok.bsky.social hey if you’re hiring and need a 1A and religious rights guy … my previous coverage on such topics for Patheos and Onlysky kind of speaks for itself amzn.to/3GlcS1s

@vancityreynolds.bsky.social … alright so lemme pitch something at ya … DuckPool. Donald Duck as Deadpool in a DuckTales Marvel crossover Carry on.

@yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social hey how come it’s so hard to find that poem you did about Slenderman that one time on YouTube?

Happy Holidays to those who celebrate, here’s that timeless holiday classic by Mr. @danny-elfman.bsky.social youtu.be/_PKBPnONTXc

The thing about dungeon masters is they will absolutely do things like spend 3 days creating all the stats for a pack of winged attack boars just so their villain npc can have the chance to say “ham hawks, attack!”

I think a problem with the messaging on the left is all these cries for unity. That’s not how “the left” works. The left does not need to “unify” in some high minded moral sense of perfect equity. It needs to unify like a pack of kobolds trying to take down a Minotaur.

right now makes me think about @bruces.bsky.social’s scene in Zenith Angle with the grandpa’s soldering gun and “melting stovepipes”

It’s the 60th Anniversary of “Bloody Sunday” at Selma, and thus the 10th anniversary of President Obama’s speech there, my favorite of all his public oratory, although it reads differently now. 🧵 time.com/3736357/bara...

It’s gotta be super-weird for @mmflint.bsky.social as the guy who wrote Canadian Bacon right about now.

So I’m thinking about what malicious compliance looks like and it’d be cool he had to physically sign his name to any check larger than $1000 dollars from the TGA. He’d be signing all day every day until his tiny little hand falls off.
