A short from MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 called "Uncle Jim's Dairy Farm" features a ludicrously busy (and, thanks to quips, unfun) day.

At the end of that day, Crow (Trace Beaulieu) quips, "Day one is over at long last."

For some reason I'm thinking about that line a lot today, on January 20.

A chapter header: "Chapter Eleven: Combat." To the left of the text in the chapter title is a medieval marginalia drawing of a rabbit beheading a man with a sword. (To be clear, the rabbit has the sword.)

It's also a dynamic with a LOT of room to maneuver, creatively. From James Gunn's depiction to "Thanks! My mom made it for me" to Clark drinking ROOT BEER with his dad to . . .
A four-panel scene from the Justice League animated cartoon, at the Kent's dinner table: PANEL 1 PA KENT (TO MARTIAN MANHUNTER): This little guy was crazy for Christmas. PANEL 2 PA KENT: We used to wrap his presents in lead foil so he couldn't peek. PANEL 3 CLARK KENT: You mean SANTA wrapped them. PANEL 4 MA KENT: Of course dear.

A comic-book panel with the text: " 'Do it?' " "Dan, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome?" "I did it thirty-five minutes ago." The words are in a too-small font, mixed case lettering, and white lettering on a lime-green balloon.

I had no idea Gillian Anderson was so versatile.
An excerpt from a Wikipedia article: In February 2023, it was announced that Sewell had been cast as Prince Andrew, Duke of York, in Scoop, a Netflix drama about Andrew's 2019 Newsnight interview, co-starring Gillian Anderson as Emily Maitlis, Billie Piper, and Keeley Hawes.[27]

Got it fixed for you, fam.
The Kanopy menu showing the category Deadly Dames: Femme Fatales in film noir above several children’s movies. All of the children's movie covers have been color-adjusted to be black and white.

PMSSbtPFaSfTSBV Day has gotten =so= commercial recently.

I hope everyone can take a moment today and remember that Partially Muscled Skeleton Standing by the Perimeter Fence and Screaming for Thirty Seconds Before Vanishing is the reason for the season.
A panel from Watchmen, with the caption: "NOVEMBER 14TH: A PARTIALLY MUSCLED SKELETON STANDS BY THE PERIMETER FENCE AND SCREAMS FOR THIRTY SECONDS BEFORE VANISHING..." The comic drawing depicts what the text says.

As I promised on the @stevejacksongames.bsky.social Daily Illuminator a few weeks ago, Nikki and I are teaming up to begin a six-part Hunt A Killer series this weekend: RENFAIRE REGICIDE! #HalloweenGaming
A picture of Steven and Nikki in front of a blue curtain. Steven is wearing a black laced Renaissance Fair outfit, and Nikki is wearing a Renaissance Fair wedding dress. The contents of the Hunt A Killer RENFAIRE REGICIDE Episode 1 box, including a map, a yellow envelope, several letters, a poster, and a guidebook. Nikki looking intently at the contents described in the previous photo. The same as the previous photo, only Nikki is looking at the camera and smiling.

"Can you tell me how did the Renaissance come about? Or Constantinople? Or the Silk Road?"
The History Channel meme of the guy with tall hair holding up his hands, and the word "ALIENS" below it.

For those who've picked up the Stan's Donuts Apple Cider donuts from Costco, they go from "really good" to "transcendent" with a generous sprinkling of cinnamon on them (assuming you like cinnamon, of course).
A picture of Stan's Donuts Apple Cider donuts, next to a small plate with one of the donuts on it; the donut has had cinnamon sprinkled on it.

The "Somehow, Palpatine returned" meme with Poe from THE RISE OF SKYWALKER, only the subtitle says, "Somehow, T. Herman Zweibel returned."

Good idea.

Hulu offered me a survey for "Why Did I Cancel," but I'm not really seeing the option I want there . . . "Content availability," I guess?
A cancelation screen for Hulu: We don't want to see you go But if you must, can you tell us the MAIN reason why? • Cost is too expensive. • It's temporary, I'll be back I don't like ads • I'm using other services. • Payment or other account issues • Due to personal reasons (life change) • Content availability (shows, movies or sports not available) • Technical issues (buffering, devices, features)

A CAPTCHA test depicting a nine-panel grid. At the top, it says, "Please click each image containing a pipe. If there are None, click Skip." Each of the nine panels depicts the pipe from Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte's 1929 painting THE TREACHERY OF IMAGES.

I feel like I predicted this a year ago, almost to the day . . .
Screenshot of post from Steven Marsh (me) from 8/15/2024: "It's my pleasure to speak with you today, here at [PULLS OUT CARD] flying. Whenever Hypnotic Specter deals damage to an opponent, that player discards a card at random." [All credit to @kenwhite.bsky.social for the idea...] The original post was in response to a news post from @Acyn: "Vance: It's great to be part of VF post Uhh *reaches in pocket and pulls out card* VFA— VFW Post 92"

This is probably the truest statement I will read all day.
A post from Reddit group Xennials. The title is "RIP Tom Lehrer." The first line — underlined in red — is "Tom Lehrer was pre-Xennial..."
