Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I FIXED MY CAAAAAAAR!

It turns out it's always had the wrong spark plugs installed! It had the variant used for its sister car the Figaro, which uses a more powerful version of this engine. The new ones have different measurments. Magically fixed the idling RPMs, excess vibration, bad fuel economy.

Have given up on ever getting Tatsu to take me out to afternoon tea, so I'm going to make it myself for Valentine's Day.

Menu:
- tea sandwiches: coronation chicken, smoked salmon, ham and cucumber
- mini tarts: veg quiche, dried fig, strawberry
- mini loaf cakes: yuzu poppyseed, chocolate

I think the existence of animation senmon gakkou is a major contributor to the decline in quality. It's not just budgets being stretched thinner, it's that any obsessive dork with tuition money can go to trade school to make something that used to require a fine arts/illustration background.
Friends, #weebwednesday is upon us once again! You know the drill - quote-post with your weebiest hot takes, nothing racist, nothing intentionally inflammatory, have fun with it ♥

Made waffles but forgot we're out of maple syrup so I made Bananas Foster as a topping and did not burn my rental apartment kitchen down flambéing them off the burner flame, please clap.

this happens for the same reason every HOA board is composed entirely of people more sociopathic than Ted Bundy:

the Venn diagram of "skills needed to seize power in a volunteer organization" and "skills needed to run a volunteer organization" is just two circles
every single Movement in my living memory that's had something genuinely important to the betterment of our culture has been, without fail, parasitized by agitators and useful idiots who fucked it dry of anything good and important and hard and true it was demanding of us as people

I think people often wonder this, and it's a great question, so let me explain the advantages of 3D printing whistles. There are many.

The 3D printing effort started from one of our organizers who started by sourcing mass-produced whistles.
I mean, are they really cheaper or easier to produce than just sourcing the right thing from a mass distributor? it's sweet but doesn't seem Pareto efficient, and I feel like that's important to the revolution

Hey everyone!

Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today!

But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold.

I just resorted our list to put those on the top.

Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

The JAF (AAA equivalent) mechanic who towed Pao home had a go with a torque wrench and declared the spark plugs non-removable due to galvanic corrosion, but with my industrial antique restoration skillset, BEHOLD

Finally wrangled all the spools of thread from all the surfaces in all the rooms of the apartment.
Serger and jumbo spools, regular machine spools, machine bobbins, and then the zipper case is cards of silk and cotton handsewing thread.
The whole sewing cart needs some kind of dust cover solution.

Neil Gaiman is crawling out of his bog two years after sexual assault allegations to play the sweet old fantasy uncle again -- complete with name-dropping that book you like & his twee "make good art" catchphrase -- all in order to (of course) sell you his upcoming book. Don't you dare fall for it.

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.
remember when the panama papers came out and we found out every rich person on earth was committing tax fraud and then nothing happened

We're a bit busy, so here's a mosaic of a zebra.
That's us done. 👍

The machines are testing my patience today. Pao died suddenly in a parking lot and needed to be towed home--probably needs new spark plugs--and the bobbin winder tension bracket exploded off the Featherweight necessitating a search for a 4mm nut and a spring in the knee-deep sewing chaos.
