I’ve seen things you Zoomers wouldn’t believe. Buttholes surfed off the shoulder of Lallapalooza. I watched Winona’s big brown beaver glitter in the dark near the Oz fest Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like a detachable penis in rain. Time to die.

It’s also not a new story. I read an article on this (I want to say last year?) and she talked about how she came from a super privileged, wealthy background and her embarrassment over her participation in this ball. I’m trying to find it now but every page of google is dominated by this latest news.

The Ancillary Justice series by Ann Leckie is amazing! I recommend anything by Neon Yang (although they tend to write Silkpunk rather than space opera). Another few names I can think of to recommend are Bogi Takács, Aliette De Bodard, Alastair Reynolds, and Rivers Solomon.

You might both really enjoy A Memory Called Empire; it’s some critically-acclaimed queer space opera for ya.

Rand Should’ve Known Better than to pick a fight with someone who was actually popular back in his day. As Rand knows, words Don’t Mean Nothing when they’re said via Twitter. However, Richard Marx is a stand up guy and I’m Right Here Waiting for him to arrange this meet up!

I appreciate the name/comment synergy here.

There was also this little-known Burt Reynolds/Sally Fields movie that featured some sort of Pontiac, a beer run, and lots of CB radio chatter

Kathryn Hahn cameo please and thank you.

Oooof.... As a struggling independent inventor myself, this story hits very close to home. I’ve had a few inventions stolen from me by major corporations over the years, including Frito-Lay. So like... I get it.

Damn, that is a hilarious little sequence.  Probably a coincidence but he looks a tad like the killer elf from the old Defenders comic....

I would’ve thought they’d be demisexual, but I guess that would be narcissistic.

Need to get on board with this... Okay, how about this? I was the one who told Gwen, she lets me call her Gwen because we’re besties, that she should make a candle that smells like her vagina. She argued that we should make it smell like a penis, to which I assured her that no one wants that. But everyone wants their…

For what it’s worth, I did watch Real Genius recently, and frankly appreciated it even more now. It was a treat to remember that Val Kilmer was once young, handsome, and funny as hell. The pranks pulled by the geniuses are silly but fun. Michelle Meyrink (who should have been a star) is absolutely adorable. And best…

Wizards of the Coast should sue her for trademark infringement.

It’s amazing how many things I watch and enjoy, and only find out later that Jane Espenson was involved.

My hope is that they inadvertently have by exposing how vulnerable vital infrastructure like that is to cyberattack so we can get our shit together before someone much bigger that likes us much less decides to try it for themselves.

But that would require an investment in infrastructure lol.

Indeed; I “Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers” cartoon would be like printing money.

Whew. Thought it was just me.

They fit quite well in standard lanyard-badge holders.
