Can’t recommend Kody’s P*treon highly enough if you have some spare cash. They’re a huge talent.

Since it's now news within our immediate circles, I can share: my partner got abruptly fired from his job (we had no idea it was coming; his boss chose to circumvent the normal steps you're supposed to go through to fire him while we were in Hawai‘i).

just kidding times two, my partner and I got blindsided by some pretty bad news the day I posted this, I'll be fully back in office and online here on Monday.

if, in the meantime, you feel like supporting me by reading Keeping Time or joining my Patreon/SubStar, that would be a welcome reprieve.

Maybe I’ll give it a rewatch this weekend.

Few of life’s challenges can’t be fixed by watching Predator throw a bear trap at a dude, as the old saying goes.

Poor woman was just trying to rustle up some positive vibes for her sister and gave half the internet a heart attack in the process.

An update from Freida Parton so it sounds like Dolly isn't well, but she's not *that* unwell. Still at 79 any illness isn't good so I'm still hoping she's fine because she's clearly got so much to give still and makes the world a better place just by being in it.

A screenshot of a post from Freida Parton on thr Other Place. It reads:
I want to clear something up. I didn't mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly. She's been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference

You can tell Disney thought they had a hit on their hands. Marketing out the ass, tie-in animated series (which, lowkey *real* good)

Just didn’t come together in the end. It remains true that it is eye-bleedingly gorgeous, if nothing else.

Look I think there is a limit to what mockery practically achieves but it fucking rules that the American Himmler had to go on TV to sputter about how he’s not actually under five feet tall

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

And also they remembered that Julia Carpenter exists, which more than Marvel has done in a hot minute!

I feel about as favourable towards M:TG doing crossover stuff as I do most other games (which is to say: not very) but I’ve been impressed by how well thought out the mechanics built around the various character cards etc are.

When you realize how long it takes for a single tree to become fully mature and how many trees it takes to be productive... This is just one more method of *generational* violence.

Hundreds of olive trees were seen uprooted by Israeli forces in the villages of al-Mughayyir and abu Falah near Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.
