All they had to do was remake the Arnold movie. Super popular Murder Game Show is the best developed version of that idea.

More writers need to watch all the seasons of HOW IT'S MADE because they for whatever reason have NO idea how the world works, or how things work, or how things work in the world, and then it shows up in their fiction and makes me yell and swear and pace and weep and rend my clothes in despair.

you, foolish, weak: posting about committing felonies on the computer

me, wise, strong: posting vaguely coherent observations about social theory that are barely repackaged gramsci while watching old episodes of game grumps and doing drugs, not posting about any silly shit i do in real life

The freedom of birds - have you seen this, folks, the freedom of birds? they're flying around, flying and in some cases walking and and it's a big, big problem - the freedom of birds is an insult to me. It's not very respectful, and it's not very nice, and we're going to have them all in zoos.

The thing that's always weird for me with Trump is he's this completely artificial object 24/7/365. Lies from a liar who lies, all day, every day.

Always being gaslit and mocked and belittled and lied to.

And then also sometimes he just says the truth on mic and you know you were right along.

genuinely trumps funniest bit ever for him to admit that he knows he’s a grifting piece of shit who’s going to hell lol

My access to the divine feminine was sacrificed to the great god Dewalt and all I got was this shitty fence.

Finished building it today. It just needs to be sealed.

An expanse of a board on board privacy fence with a top 2x6 cap.

One of the gates on the board on board fence—the gate locks with a black mechanical keypad.

The fence on the other side of the yard with a concrete path and retaining wall. Garden beds are in the distance.

The “alley gate” of the fence. Scrap wood sits in the bottom right.

You

Grieve.

Every person will have a threshold for who does or doesn't get their grief energy.

And the reasons for not grieving will range from "this person did something against my core principles" to queerphobia, racism, ableism, antisemitism, etc on down.

I love how this is all just him trying to find obscure diagnoses to explain the damage his All Meat Diet does to his body.

As each new treatment fails he has to hunt down a new obscure diagnosis so he can keep believing in himself.

To enter the Underworld, first you must cross the river Styx. Charon will be your guide. This interpretation by Flemish painter Joachim Patinir is our pick for #ClassicsTober25 Day 12: Styx. With these delightful blues and greens, the entrance to the other side looks positively delightful…

‘Landscape with Charon Crossing the Styx’ is an oil on wood painting dating to c. 1515–1524, held by the Museo del Prado, Madrid. The Styx is depicted as an aquamarine river that shimmers under a blue sky dotted with clouds. Charon is a bearded man with not many clothes but enough to cover his modesty. The far bank on the right has burning buildings and thunderous clouds.

if you’re not Catholic, let me real quick tell you about the breathtaking audacity of bringing the monstrance with him

a monstrance is a big bedazzled gold ornament with a round glass window in the middle where you put a consecrated wafer, usually the bigger ceremonial one and not the bite-size
