Words, both recreationally and professionally. Video games/comics/giant robots nerd, with a side of yelling about sports. Largely boring.

Simpsons meme: Hans Moleman in a phone booth, saying "I need the most ham-handed political metaphor you have."

A crane tearing out the facade of the White House's East Wing, from the linked news article.

Moleman again:
"No, that's too ham-handed."

The real reason the Phillies lost in the playoffs is because they didn’t have one of those gimmicky HR rituals

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

I only just turned on the Bengals-Steelers game but I think the Cincinnati defense would do better if they tackled the Pittsburgh players instead of just kinda half-heartedly leaping in their general direction
