Nothing notable on my local ballot other than a School Committee race, but I got out and voted anyway. Hoping that my friends in CA, NJ, VA, PA and NYC, where there are bigger issues at stake, will get out and make good progressive choices.

I love when the timeline puts perfect posts next to each other.

My weekend reading plans.

Cover art for the novel, If Tomorrow Doesn't Come by Jen St. Jude, showing two young women holding hands while the sky around then is exploding with meteors. Cover art for the novel, The Shattering Peace by John Scalzi, showing a large military spaceship flying over the wreckage of a second ship.

This thing where the right constantly portrays themselves as the victims of hateful left-wingers, and then just ignores every time a pro-gun conservative attacks democrats or schools, is so damn infuriating.
A social media post from the based dad. If a democrat was assassinated could you imagine what would be going on right now? The reply from michael and wicket. Yes. I can. Because it happened literally 3 months ago. And guess what? Democrats called for gun reform and right wingers made jokes about it. Trump said calling anybody to give his condolences would be a waste of time and then skipped the funeral. So we don't have to imagine. It literally just happened. And not a single person on the left called for a war, or called for the Republican party to be labeled a domestic terrorist organization. You cared so little that you don't even remember it.

A sad looking Chris Hemsworth slouching in a hoodie while sitting in an office, with the text "Been feeling a little bit down and moody lately, so I googled my symptoms to see what I might have. It's a job. I have a job."

And because I forgot the alt text
A panel from a comic book showing The Hulk (a big green creature wearing purple pants) jumping off into the distance and saying, "BAH! HULK HAS HAD ENOUGH OF PUNY HUMANS! HULK WILL GO TO MOUNTAINS AND TRY TO FORGET! THERE HULK WILL REST!"

R.I.P. Terrance Stamp. He became famous as General Zod in Superman, but he was a brilliant actor who I've loved in many other films, especially his amazing performance as the aging drag queen Bernadette in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Some folks may also remember Brother Blue as Merlin from the 1981 film Knightriders starring Ed Harris. It's a story about a Ren Faire troupe that jousts on motorcycles. It wasn't a great movie, but it struck a chord with certain nerds who grew up going the Ren Faires and SCA events.

Discovered today that Cambridge added a plaque to Harvard Square honoring the storytellers Brother Blue and Ruth Hill and my heart got a bit lighter. I chatted with him a few times and he was an absolutly delightful human who encouraged people to fill the world with love, art, and stories.

No cheating, post the most recent pic of your pets.
Two cats, a tuxedo and a tortoiseshell, sleeping in two carpeted circle beds on top of a cat tree that's been scratched into shreds.

You’ve inherited a movie theater, what’s your first double feature?

A double feature of Peter O'Toole comedies: How to Steal a Million (1966) & My Favorite Year (1982)
A young Peter O'Toole, classically handsome with short hair and piercing blue eyes, wearing a tuxedo with the jacket removed and a sleeve rolled up showing a wound to his arm, sits at a table while a beautiful young Audrey Hepburn stands next to him, wearing a nightshirt and preparing some medication and bandages. An older Peter O'Toole dressed in a fancy suit with a firehose wrapped around his chest while weaving around drunkenly. A young man in a shabby suit tries to control him.

If you see this, post a Marvel cover you love.

Two ideas that jump to mind would be one of the flags (either the cat or reversing the color on the merskeletons or demon) or Ed & Stede's feet. Some OFMD stickers as examples.

Got the Superman and Krypto bobblehead at Fenway Park tonight and I love it!
An arm holding a cardboard box with a cut out showing a sealed figure of Superman wearing a baseball glove about to toss a baseball to his dog krypto (a white dog in a red cape). In the background is the green grass of the field at Fenway Park, stadium seats, and people getting ready for a ball game on a summer evening.

Tessa is currently resting her head on my hand and purring loudly, so I can't move or I might be in a "JAIL FOR FATHER!" situation.

Bonus: My four favorite films with fewer than *10k* logs on Letterboxd. These took some digging, but they're all great films. @letterboxd.social
Movie poster for "My Favorite Year" featuring a dashing older man in a tuxedo swinging from a rope, while a younger man in a shabby brown suit is clinging to him in terror. A stylized image of The New York City skyline is below them. Movie poster for "Swimming to Cambodia" with the top half of a man's head popping up out of the water with a startled expression in his eyes. Movie poster for "Twelfth Night" featuring an androgynous youth, a beautiful woman, and a dashing man, all pressing against each other. An image of a large and fancy estate is below the title. Movie poster for "Happy Accidents" featuring a tall man with dark in a blue shirt looking longingly at a shorter woman with long dark hair in a low cut dress who is gazing up at him. They're standing on a busy street corner that's washed out in faded yellow behind them.

Roz Chast drew a cartoon defining the four food groups as regular, company, remorse, and silly. I've found those categories work really well.
A cartoon by Roz Chast titled "The Four Major Food Groups" with simple line drawings of foods in four boxes. The boxes are labeled, "Regular" with hamburger, cola, french fries, and fruit pie; "Company" with cracker variety, canapé, interesting cheese, and mint; "Remorse" with plain yogurt, soy beans, mineral water, and tofu; and "Dilly" with space food sticks, gelatin mold with fruit salad in it, and grasshopper pie
