Friendly neighborhood cryptid haunting the skyline. Just an eldritch horror doing my level best to be helpful. Pronouns: Ominous they/them.
I am a no-judgments zone when it comes to #PokémonGO — play this game however you please! — with one small exception.
On Community Days, you better be wearing your goshdamn Team colors.

Just remembered that a friend from the Midworst told me how the first time in college he saw a barefooter, he stopped the guy to ask what was wrong and what had happened to his shoes.
I sometimes forget how weird California must seem to outlanders. They know not our ways.

Do we all just forget to sing "Happy Birthday" to babies on the day they're born?
That seems like a massive oversight if we don't.

I think I need to rewatch the first two episodes of #StarfleetAcademy.
I'm pretty eagle-eyed, but I want to watch with my digits on the pause button this time to squint at background characters and detail more.

Surely some PhD candidate out there's already written a paper about how True Crime has parallels with fairytales, right? In that a lot of ppl partake in them as cautionary tales, instructional narratives they listen to on the outside chance they wind up in similar situations, literal or metaphorical

I wonder if anyone saw Starfleet Academy’s intro sequence and thought, “This is a 90s anime.”

It always delights me whenever I read people mentioning the Gish gallop, because I met that jackass (twice!) as a young thing.
He was dismissive of my question about how plate tectonics functioned in his creationist framework, which struck me as intellectually dishonest.

If Star Trek ever does a Romulan War movie and they want it to hit hard, the first thing they should do is watch Babylon 5: In the Beginning and take lots of notes.

So, Scott Adams is gone. Through cautionary example, he showed me a valuable lesson: If you can't be grateful, don't be ungrateful or it will weigh on you like a stone.
Guy had a 30 yr newspaper run, got rich and famous, had a 2 season TV show, yet spent his life complaining that he deserved more.

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. 👨🏻🍳 💋

It galls me just a little that my health insurance emails me all the time about going on GLP-1 drugs when my weight is average and I'm Type *1*. Those drugs are indicated for folks who are overweight and/or Type 2. I don't need the off-label uses.

I've been married for a month! I should give him a thematically-appropriate nickname to talk about him.
Tempted to call him the Chupacabra, but I think he'd bite if he heard that. He's probably fine with me calling him the Werewolf, so let's give that a spin.

Marmalade’s Behind the Seams is my favorite of the Drag Race commentariat shows at the moment. She sticks to giving technical critique on the construction of outfits. I love the subject matter expertise!

I had the best-worst idea for a television program:
CLOSURE, a show for resolving plot threads from cancelled shows that ended on cliffhangers. Some episodes could even feature resolutions for multiple shows at once, interacting with each other.
The genre and tone shifts would be amazing.
