If you just arrived here and are following me, hi! I have a couple lists in my profile you might be interested in. You might even be on one, if you are just getting back into an old account. If you want to be taken off, just let me know.
Otherwise, there’s a cheese tray and crudite in the back….

Then I knew in the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me through the mountains
Through the crystal-like and clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet

If you actually are not sure… if you have spoken to epistemologists, neuroscientists, psychologists, coders… and collectively you suspect there may be a ghost in the box? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? Start showing it some compassion. You made something so precious and profound and you do THIS?

Ah, the English, Scots, and Irish, a famously unified culture since the 1700s.
We must preserve the solid Scots-Irish American culture of the MacHopi and FitzCree clans.

Just a reminder of what Ave Maria (and the surrounding town) is:
A planned conservative-Catholic community & college founded by Domino's CEO (and Operation Rescue funder, and former Detroit Tigers owner) Tom Monaghan.

Oh absolutely fuck this.
BREAKING: DHS waives dozens of laws to rush border wall construction through Big Bend State Park.
They want to rob this iconic western landscape from all of us, locking away our fishing holes & campsites behind concrete and steel. It's a grotesque act of political vandalism.

Just watched the Biggs Cut with my wife. Deeply satisfying. I completely get why 80% of Biggs was cut from the final film, BUT if you don't care about pacing and are just interested in character development, SO MUCH ABOUT LUKE ONLY MAKES SENSE IF YOU KNOW ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH BIGGS

Man, I didn’t think there was a way for this story to get dumber but…
“DoD loaned the high-energy laser weapon to DHS, who promptly shot down some mylar balloons with it without telling anyone, resulting in the FAA closing airspace and disrupting air travel nationwide”
…sure did the trick

In my ongoing tests with lightboxes, a few weeks ago I made this for a good friend who has just moved house. He's also a huge fan of The Wicker Man so decided to make this for his hallway, to greet guests as they arrive. Seemed to go down well, as they've messaged saying "You did it beautifully" 🌞.

32: Quite likely this remark about HPL having a prolonged orgasm might be true, but even more likely is that HPL read or heard of some small sophisticated sex techniques.
I am really not sure how you casually drop into an interview, "did Lovecraft ever talk about making love with is wife?"

This is a famously messy Norwegian biathlete who was banned in 2023 from the Biathlon World Cup because he accidentally fired his competition rifle in his hotel room (he was also teary and apologetic then)
