I usually walk Rio at 12. I took this picture at 12.04

My border Collie Rio, staring at me like a starving Dickensian orphan, peering in at a Christmas feast

One look and you know he’s having fun :3

A black and white tuxedo cat with bright yellow eyes is hiding playfully under a piece of crinkled brown packing paper. The cat’s wide eyes and forward-leaning posture make it look like he’s clearly having fun.

And when you saw only one set of footprints on the beach? That was the invisible killer robot I invented to wreak revenge on my enemies.

Happy Skynet becomes self-aware day, don’t forget to leave out your chatgpt prompts tonight or the machines might not come

Aug 29th 1997 - Skynet become self aware.

📽️📅 Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

3 Screenshots from the movie "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991): First, a man in a suit sits in a clinical, white-walled room watching a TV monitor that displays a woman in a white tank top sitting at a table across from another man; the subtitle reads "- I'm sure it feels real to you. - On August 29, 1997...". Second, a close-up of the TV monitor shows the same woman and man in the interview room, with the subtitle "anyone not wearing two-million sunblock is gonna have a real bad day. Get it?". Third, the terminator is driving a car through a desert looking at a passenger with the subtitle "The computer becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29."

I had a friend who created a grand theory that LIFE ON MARS was about post-war Britain mainly based on the line “Lemons on sale again.” Of course the actual line is “Lenin’s on sale again.”

James Topham @jamestopham.bsky.social · Aug 25

No, but seriously though LIFE ON MARS

Without saying Space Oddity, fav David Bowie Song?

David Bowie in a grey pink and white striped unitard of sorts with big orange and lime green shoulder pads and collar. red hair and lipstick red background hand on hip. hot.

"Questioning my spiritual life has always been germane to what I was writing. Always. It's because I'm not quite an atheist and it worries me. There's that little bit that holds on: 'Well, I'm almost an atheist. Give me a couple of months.'"

Question asked in complete earnestness: is it the demons who are KPOP and they are being hunted? Or the demon hunters who are KPOP and the demons they’re hunting are just standard everyday demons?
