I’m reading #PatRobertson ‘s 1991 “The New World Order” (as research for my next book). Since I have to endure it, here is a thread of the best of the worst for you to enjoy. CW: Early ‘90s evangelical racism & supremacy, xenophobia, prob homo/transphobia

Happy Rose City Comic Con! @rosecitycc.bsky.social!

If you’re in the area, stop by the Oregon State Fair and say hi!

As I was listening to The Great Course’s “Great Villains of History,” I didn’t learn much about King Leopold of Belgium, but I definitely only saw his @extracredits.bsky.social bean form. 🤣 Back the next calendar! - “History Happens Every Day” www.kickstarter.com/projects/ext...

Extra History 2027 Calendar - “History Happens Every Day” www.kickstarter.com/projects/ext... Woohoo! 🎉

We were one of the hundred or so who had that unfortunate hiccup with the 2026 calendar, but are still so excited to help kickstart a fourth pin to go on the wall! Zoey, Zo-speare, and Walpole need a friend. 😂 @matthewkrol.nebula.tv, @extracredits.bsky.social, @whatwilliplay.bsky.social

@matthewkrol.nebula.tv and @whatwilliplay.bsky.social What were we talking about just this morning about MTG? 😂 www.geekwire.com/2026/seattle...

Berry picking. A rite of passage for every Oregonian, and the best ADHD chore. Getting the dopamine not only from filling the boxes, but nothing is really regimented and you can go up and down the row as you wish.

46 don’t look so bad. Now, if the world could please stop falling apart, that would be great.

Once again, @matthewkrol.nebula.tv proves to be our kind of people. I read my first grader my velveteen cover 40th anniversary edition Bunnicula during spoopy season last year. He was less than impressed, but it holds up fairly well. Celery stalks and vegetable juice at midnight!

Think if I show up for jury duty with this laptop I might be excused? 😂 Thanks to The Happy Givers for the statement stickers #ActivismThroughStickers

Sitting down with the fam for an anti capitalism Christmas movie. 🤣 Take that, Kinga! We’re watching this on Christmas (Eve Eve) Spending Christmas Eve with some of our favorite parasocial buds… @jonahrayrodrigues.bsky.social, @felicia.day, @pattonoswalt.bsky.social, @bv-tv.bsky.social

Bingo! @whatwilliplay.bsky.social @matthewkrol.nebula.tv @extracredits.bsky.social

Reminder: In Virginia, you can register to vote on Election Day through same-day voter registration. This lets you register in person and cast a provisional ballot if you missed the regular registration deadline. Your vote will be counted once eligibility is confirmed, so don’t sit this one out!

It is Chicken Makin’ Week. Holidays Bazaar Season starts this weekend, and this year it’s even more important to provide some emotional support to people.

@matthewkrol.nebula.tv, Make sure to give the boss all of the birthday scritches! Happy Birthday, Zo-Zo! Thanks for putting your birthday on the calendar so we can bug your dad! 🥰

Resistance is… itchy. Stay safe out there today, everyone. Keep your wits about you and don’t let anyone goad you into anything.

New ink. May not be able to attend protests (I have too many people that need me to not go to jail), but this is my resistance. Thanks, Ken at Skin City, Tigard!

Looking north and east towards downtown Portland.

Happy Rapture Day, to all who celebrate!

I wish Charlie Kirk a speedy (but pain-filled) recovery (with medication that only partially takes effect)… …only because the last thing the country needs right now is MAGA martyrs.

Trying to decide if I will refuse to take money from cops or ICE agents at my upcoming craft fair events, or take their money and donate 100% of it to refugee and immigration lawyers and charities.

If anyone is interested about safety in Portland, I live in the Metro area and have been through Downtown many times this weekend for Rose City ComicCon. The ONLY time I have felt unsafe was when I was walking down a flight of steep and slippery stairs to the light rail station.

Baby’s First Con! 🥰

New frien. 🥰

When the bag you came with is, technically, big enough to hold everything, but the 1” strap is digging into your shoulder… what can you do but buy a bigger, more comfortable bag? Nerds have the best merch. #RoseCityComicCon

On my way to #RoseCityComicCon. And, same, bus… same.

Happy Gotcha Day, Jakers. 🥰

Because we will always support physical media of things we love when we can…

The first grader is watching his YouTube next to me as I rewatch “A Skeptic’s Guide to American History” on Prime’s Great Courses add on. Given the Smithsonian’s new management, thought it apropos. Hopefully, he’s getting a little of it. Always ask questions, little guy. Raising the iconoclasts!

AFAIK, members of the class are still being determined for this case, so if you think you are one of the affected authors, you should send your contact info to the Plaintiffs' legal team if you would also like to financially ruin the entire AI industry: www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...

Oh @nebula.tv… Your closed captioning never fails to make me laugh. And this isn’t even the worst offender, just the one I stopped on when Smalls was going on about how, when he’s older, he’ll make Roblox safe for kids. @matthewkrol.nebula.tv @whatwilliplay.bsky.social

TIME FOR THE BEST GAMING NEWS SHOW NO CAP. WELL ONE CAP THAT MATT WEARS. WAIT, IS CAPS LOCK ON??!?! DAMN IT.

Getting Teen set up at Community College. Excuse me while I crumble into dust.

Mike Nelson, @kevinwmurphy.bsky.social, and @billcorbett.bsky.social, thank you so much for watching “The Amazing Bulk” as many times as you did. @genericblues.bsky.social and I have not laughed that hard in a long time, and given *gestures at the world around us*, we desperately needed a laugh.

@skyejethani.bsky.social Isn’t this one of your hills to die on? 😁

Look at those beautiful butt-nuggets! 😍 The girls are producing again! (A heads-up to those who are new-this-year chicken parents: They usually stop, or greatly reduce, producing for about three months due to short days and long nights.)

Sunday afternoons are made for napping.

Bison. 🦬 They’re “bison”, my child. 🦬 Not bantha.

@matthewkrol.nebula.tv did you have anything to do with Rifftrax putting your favorite movie on Nebula this week? 🤣 How much interaction *do* all the creators have with each other? Planned or serendipitous, I know what I’m doing this afternoon. Off to the Gymkata I go!

@matthewkrol.nebula.tv , the young human wants to know if Zoey gets a pat for every time someone watches her “God’s Fluffy Murder Machine” video. Because she absolutely deserves it. Calvin and Rosemary agree.

Would not have guessed this was Jake’s makeup. His Dobie-Lab grandparent’s genes are definitely dominant to fight their way through all that Terrier. But still. He’s 95% good boi, 5% chaos monkey, and 100% loved.

SIGN: Keep ICE out of our churches >>: More than two dozen organizations and denominations just filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration's policy of allowing immigration raids at houses of worship. Let's show our support as fellow Christians now >> act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/Trump-I...

Holy crap! Tom Cruise got old! #superbowlLIX

In order to not have to think about the entire weight of the federal government coming down on less than 200 US citizens (one of them my very own child), here is a sleepy chicken outside my kitchen window that she has made very dirty. Bluesky, meet Aloy. #ChickensOfBluesky

Assuming we make it through the next couple of decades, this will be an incredible image for future historians/students of the Trump era
