I want Sam Raimi shows back. I miss Hercules, Xena, and Legend of the Seeker. Give me absurdly good looking people running through New Zealand woods with special effects that cost seventeen dollars and Ted Raimi as a scoundrel.

I like The Lord of the Rings a lot but we need more bite sized swords and sorcery fantasy TV/movies. Willow is the platonic ideal of lightweight high fantasy, and Dungeons and Dragons (2023) is its spiritual successor. But overall the field seems very thin 🫤

A screenshot of a quote post on Twitter, the original post is:

@YouGov • 12 Jul 19
One in eight men (12%) say they could win a point in a game of tennis against 23 time grand slam winner Serena Williams.

The main post is from Jason @longwall26:

Confident in my ability to properly tennis, I take the court. I smile at my opponent. Serena does not return the gesture. She'd be prettier if she did, I think. She serves. The ball passes cleanly through my skull, killing me instantly

Seeing dudes try to step to the menswear guy makes me understand better the mentality of the regular Street Punks who keep hassling Kiryu in Act 3 of every Yakuza game when hes got all the abilities unlocked

Saw the last Mortal Kombat movie and I saw this in my mind's eye.

Scorpion, the ninja from Mortal Kombat is in a corner wearing a little party hat as people party around him. Text says "THEY DONT KNOW THAT I WANT THEM OVER HERE"

You can email complaints about the premise and set-up of the questionnaire to ISED: [email protected].

You can even tell them they're not acting in accordance with the Directive on the Management of Communications and Federal Identity, as all the jargon makes it inaccessible to the public.

Canadians: The federal government is seeking public input on how AI should be developed and used in business, research, and the military.

Every piece of clothing is made by human hands. Sewing can't be automated.
Buying clothing cheap means buying from a company that exploited the person that made it. Full stop.
Mend, alter, reuse, buy secondhand, learn to sew if you can! If not, try to buy clothes from reputable brands. They'll last.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Was given a super manly wallet and bag by @crankpork.bsky.social for my birthday, and I feel compelled to fill the wallet with bills so I can say 'here ya go, sport' and hand them out to my son before he takes someone on a date.
