going by the decor, is this not TGI Fridays?

Someone on Twitter posted a photo of themselves doing a happy dance as they receive a hot plate of fajitas. Then "Raw Egg Nationalist" on Twitter retweets them, writing: It's incredible that these people exist, but they really do. These are the people who justify the demographic replacement of Western countries in terms of the variety of street food and how many different kinds of fried-meat-and-vegetables in flatbread they can buy.

Frank Langella slumming on Star Trek. By far the highest profile Trek guest star at the time - other Trek guests went on to fame after their appearances, but Langella was the rare established actor who stooped to syndicated TV.

Of course, he went uncredited. So there’s that.

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

My stupid brain reads this and immediately gets locked in a loop of Grandfather’s line from “Ragtime” - “Thus was the coming of the colored man with a car to Broadview Avenue”.

Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin have arrived at the Broadview ICE facility.

In all seriousness, none of these look appetizing, and it makes the boys look like tourists who don’t know how to fold a slice.

My wife had apparently not paid attention to Nelson in 1989, so when I told her they were Ozzie and Harriet’s grandkids, she spent the rest of the episode in a google hole. #Peacemaker

Cannot thank Nelson enough for being in our #Peacemaker Finale “Full Nelson.” See this very special music video to their song “To Get Back To You” at the link!

The in-universe existence of Foxy Shazam does raise the question “Does Billy Batson have an adult superhero identity and if so what is his name?” #Peacemaker

Geordi La Forge Nope/Yes meme, but the yes has laser eyes in the visor:

NOPE:
"Do Not Comply In Advance"
- bossy
- already a cliche
- implies permission to comply later

YES:
"Fuck You, Make Me"
- leads by example
- directs yelling at opposition instead of allies
- easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

I loved it… right up to that last scene and knowing I have to wait for #ManofTomorrow and in the meantime, Chris doesn’t get to be happy with the life he was rebuilding for even a minute.

But still a great episode. #Peacemaker

Daniel Yanofsky @danyanofsky.bsky.social · 19h

OK. Apparently I seem to be in the minority. But I really liked the #Peacemaker season 2 finale. Was not expecting the big reveal, and the nerd in me was happy. John Cena acted his butt off this season.

Fuck Rick Flag, Sr. I know Chris killed Rick Jr.

So kill Chris. Selling out to Lex Luthor was not necessary. #Peacemaker

Once again, I hate @jamesgunn.bsky.social. Building me up, buttercup, just to let me down and mess me around. Playing the full version of “Oh Lord”, that reveal of the company name… and you couldn’t just leave it there. You had to push and dig and tear my heart out.

Well done, sir. #Peacemaker

As that last batter came up, I called “Wild pitch, catcher misses.” It wasn’t that, but it was still a painfully embarrassing way for the Phillies to lose. I laughed.

He’s so on in a lot of ways that the Old Guard are not and yet he fumbles this so hard, so repeatedly.

Tony Duncan @laddical.bsky.social · 23h

This is too well written to be the shitstain’s work, but it has that same “Nobody knew this until I said it” energy.

I write because I love writing. I love writing even when I'm struggling with a writing problem that is killing me. Finding a way through that problem is both intensely rewarding and also helps me become a better writer. There is no reason for me to ever outsource that.
