Safe Muffins

Four Images that sum me up, my points of view and my account in general. Reskeet with your own.

taking notes so i don't forget to go fuck myself

"Never buy revision one of anything." -- My Dad. Or anyone with any kind of engineering sensibilities.

"And when Mind War aired, the asshats got real quiet really goddamned fast" JMS on the passing of the man, who's range and depth of the craft was underestimated all the time.

as much as I love Star Trek and always will, as much as I love the Voyage Home.. I'll remember him best for being this smug prick of a Psi Cop. Rest in peace you magnificent bastard.

Today's mood: Adding a whole slew of keywords to my mute list till after the election day.

You first, NYTimes. I didn't help get him elected; you did. Now that you smell blood in the water, you'll go for the throat and pretend you were always against him. We will remember.

"When it comes to fighting fascism, Democrats are showing up with a cardboard knife to a gun fight." The replies to this skeet tell a bigger story: there are still way too many people beguiled by the idea of the Democratic Party actually doing anything to help.

JFC. This isn't even medieval. They knew damn well about Arabic sciences (and translations, etc.). Fuck these people forever.

What that wicke do.

There's a reason films like Beauty and the Beast, Edward Scissorhands, The Shape of Water, Lisa Frankenstein, Your Monster, and now Wicker keep returning to the fantasy of women falling in love with creatures. I don't think the appeal is simply that women 'want monsters,' though.

Industry Executives knew cigarettes caused cancer for decades. Industry Executives knew about global warming for decades. You could probably google "Industry Executives knew about..." and come up with endless examples. Industry needs to be held by the nape of the neck with regulation at all times.

I dont think every single thing needs to go on forever and have 50 games and movies. Its ok when things are contained. Mass Effect 1-3 are great. The remaster of them is great. There doesnt need to be more, especially not at the hands of EA. kotaku.com/mass-effect-...

sometimes, if they’ve been good, i’ll let the groceries ride up in the front of the car with me

I'm trying to research some details about this nice robe I found at the thrift store. There's no tag other than the brand, Skin. Fortunately, I stopped myself before just searching "skin robe". I do not want to know what horrors might have awaited me.

I have never seen anything more catholic than this

How do I know shit is bad right now? Way fewer Spirit Halloween stores this year, even though there's certainly enough empty storefronts.

perfect, no notes

I love seeing people succeed in spite of American hubris.

All standing pangolins look like Bob Cratchit asking for Christmas day off.

What is the stock market actually a measurement for? Opportunities for the wealthy to hyperexploit the masses.

Broadening recognition of a shared global struggle for human rights and dignity is indeed fatal for Yglesias's worldview

Chekov may have paid the bills for Mr. Koenig. But playing Al Bester (psi cop/telepath) showed us his range. Also, he got some of the best lines in the whole series. He was the face of the psi corps, and he hit the mark every time. Seriously, he was an absolute joy to watch in this role.

Okay, yeah. He's Star Trek staple. But you know what? Al Bester > Pavel Chekov. Bester was the role that showed the world just how awesome Walter Koenig was as an actor. The corps is mother, the corps is father. Rest in peace, and thanks for the performances.

Remember folks. You're not allowed to tamper with things you ̶b̶u̶y̶ rent. Even when the ̶p̶u̶r̶c̶h̶a̶s̶e̶ ̶p̶r̶i̶c̶e̶ rent is $3000.

QTP with a title screen that's iconic to you!

Yes, I made some jumbo muffins today. Are they chocolate, sprinkled with powdered sugar? Why yes, yes they are. Are they safe? Of course they are. Would you have expected anything less from this account?

It’s incredible the things you don’t realize are sacred until you can no longer rely on them

Bickering with people on Threads kind of feels like going to the starting area of an RPG after hitting your level cap

i know we are beyond a literacy crisis because i just saw a video of Charlie Sheen saying “people don’t read enough”

It would be lovely if the video games industry would let the people who make the games buy food

Come on down to the Bear Wawa if you want your ass kicked

Something I wish more people would realize.

As you watch these protests unfold across Europe, remember that mass discontent alone does not make a revolution. Without an organised working-class movement explicitly committed to overthrowing capitalism, protests may win concessions, but the system that produced those grievances remains intact.

Nobody has beaten my Polybius high score yet. Pathetic.
