STORY TIME I used to work backstage at convention photo booths. A friend was the one who picked the celebs up from the airport, then would work with us. One day he was going from one booth to another and found Walter standing in the aisle behind one booth, just staring at the curtain.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

He had picked him up just the day before, and had a pleasant chat with him. Walter was thin and frail looking even then (this was maybe 15 years ago? ) and as he watched, Walter started to keel over. He rushed forward to catch him, only for Walter's foot to shoot out and catch himself.

Walter winked at my friend and with a smile said, "Gotcha." They both laughed, and he told the great Walter Koenig he was a son of bitch. May his memory be a blessing, as is is to me and my friend.

it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that

AEW gave me a cassette tape too but it was just MJF comparing himself very favorably to me for ten minutes, then a hiss of carbonated air releasing, some gulping noises, then twenty minutes listing my personal failings in exacting detail. I've never even met the man.

When it was rumored that North Korea executed an official with an anti aircraft gun, we all laughed uncomfortably at the crazy shit that backwards little country got up to. Now, as we look forward to the future in 2027, I'm wondering if they were on to something.

Below on Netflix has some of the most consistently dumb writing I've seen in a while. I'm sticking with it more out of a sense of curiosity for where they'll blunder to next more than one of engagement.

This, and also if the Death Riders do a Death Rider Rush (or whatever it's called when they take turns slamming into some fool in the corner) with a missing man formation tonight it will break me. Just BAM, CLAUDIO! BAM, GARCIA! (Long pause) BAM, MOX! BAM, YUTA! BAM, MARINA!

I know you’re now rolling your eyes and going “ughhh Bluesky scolllld” and I’m going to tell you right this very second you have absolutely no idea, not one fucking clue, the trauma there is from the social isolation that immunocompromised people have faced since Covid started.

Just wow. For those of us who still mask everywhere because we can't it won't risk getting COVID even once because it could be fatal or massively debilitating, it sure feels great to be told that any consideration of us is "alienating." For some of us COVID never ended,

and the ray of hope we had for a preventative vaccine was crushed by this administration, but yes, the real victims are those experiencing the bummer of having to occasionally mask up out of consideration for others. The biggest thing COVID taught us is that the idea that

people (particularly Americans) give a shit about one another was at best a massive exaggeration. Ms. Caraballo does excellent work reporting on queer issues but this disregard of those less able to take risks is infuriating.

My friends and I played the hell out of this, and decided the sound of a jump attack hitting then the enemy bouncing off the ground once then landing was "Vic! Thor pull" after we did it so many times. And so, the legend of Vik Thorpal was born. We even snuck him into our high school yearbook...

youre probably looking at this fruit and thinking ‘wow, that must grow on a tropical island somewhere’, and you’d be WRONG AS HELL. its a pawpaw, the largest edible fruit native to north america. this is our first one and it tastes like banana, vanilla, and cantaloupe made a weird ass threesome baby

Man, this new season of Ted Lasso is a real disappointment. I do find it ironic that in a season about the difficulties of getting people to back a women's team they're devoting incredibly little time to developing the characters of said team.

About 20-30 years ago, when I worked for AT&T Wireless, I would regularly get calls from Mercer people complaining about how bad their cell service was. The reason for this was because there were few cell towers on the island because no one would allow one to be built on our near their property. /1

Brett Hamil@bretthamil.bsky.social

They would be the worst Karen/Karl types all about how much they paid and why won't we fix this, and after a few of these calls I just started telling them, very politely, about who they could contact to talk about building a tower on their property to fix the issue. They would splutter and rage /2

a bit longer then hang up after that. The issue is now resolved as companies now build hidden towers in schools and such, so they get service without "eyesores" and "all the health problems" (except their kids are right next to them all day?), but it was my first exposure to those NIMBY pricks. /3

RIP Dolly Parton ❤️ Here's a lovely Dolly story: We worked together on "Transamerica." She told me that the bible passage that used to puzzle her the most was, "the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men." She said, "How the heck do you sin against the Holy Ghost, and-

Yeah, I'm not crying in my car on my lunch break or anything.

Honestly heartbroken and shocked -- I'm sorry if you're hearing it from me the Parton family just announced Dolly Parton's passing. No I'm not making this up, but I am an extremely hot mess. www.instagram.com/reels/DceNXg...

Recently, critical comments about LGBT people every day make me very sad. LGBT people just want to love whom they love and live proudly as themselves—why treat that as a demand? Living as a human is a right and shouldn’t be restricted by male and female genders🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Why is Chuck Tingle personally attacking me like this? What's next, "Apparently Pounded In My Sleep Because How Else Could I Have Hurt My Back, It Was Fine Before I Went To Bed, Getting Old Sucks"?

I'd hope for Isaac Hayes, but I'd get Chris Parnell.

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?
