More truths from the Good @drleocroft.bsky.social:

Sorry, bitch.
That era’s over.

We’re not asking for seats at your table anymore.
We built our own, and it’s got better food...

MAGA: “Black Folks Think They’re Better Than Everyone.” Nah — We Just Know We’re Better Than You.

While Trump and his mouthpieces wail "UNCONSTITUTIONAL!" about things that are not, Trump's Dumdum Macoute keeps doing things that actually ARE. (In this case, Amendment 4; overall, almost the entire goddamned thing.)

‪Supreme Commander Bone Spurs and Col. Kegstand are essentially two eight-year-old boys banging toy soldiers together and shouting about how tough they are.

Except the "toys" they bang together are real human lives.

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:
US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It
The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

The darkness outside my door clutches tight around the frame. Faint orbs drift in liquid blackness, slipping through its depths and winking like eyes... yet THEY ARE NOT EYES. If stones could howl, their grating cries might echo the sound within my ears. Darkness enters. I depart.

I knew you all were fine additions to our Collegiate. Here – an ancient scroll, on which a sentence has been carved, and you must finish it: “My chisel cracks the seal open. Only then, did I understand the folly of my curiosity.” Continue it as you see fit, my friends.

Concept art for the video-game Thief, titled ‘Dr. Troy’s Main Floor’. It’s an alchemical and medical shop of a Victorian and Gothic fashion, darkened by shadow, but the silvery glow of the moon cuts through the curtains. The floor is full to bursting with shelves of vials, containers, and phylacteries of cold, eerie colours and disturbing sizes. A Human-sized skeleton is at the back end of the room. At the foreground, we see a very disturbing, glass container of two, miniature skeletons embracing and kissing. A heavy, metallic cash machine sits at the wooden counter. No-one is in this room. No links, covers, or self-promo! Leave that for the end! Quote the post & include the hashtag! Question 4: I’ve been impressed by your answers tonight. Look at this scroll and utterance: “My chisel cracks the seal open. Only then did I understand the folly of my curiosity.” Finish it as you see fit. Create a new seal for us.

A moment; let me note this. The Primrose Collegiate appreciates your honesty and insight. Hm, an explosion? Yes, a seal is being pried open tonight. Now, listen carefully; what IS a Terrible Truth to you? What must be hidden from Humanity, lest it destroys us?

An ofrenda shrine to a little girl slain by a drunk cop, shimmering with candlelight and tucked down an alley between a popular bodega and the best food truck in town. The girl's plush Stitch toy squats at the center. Anyone disturbing this shrine deserves whatever he gets.

Tonight’s attendance is most fortuitous, wouldn’t you agree? Mind the arcane energies coruscating in the laboratory; our work is, as always, dangerous. Now then, tell me; how would you describe an ideal seal containing a Terrible Truth? Where is it located?

Greetings, all and sundry! I am Dr. Satyr, keeper of miracles and terrors just out of sight in our everyday world. Though I venture on occasion to strange realms or distant times, my tales most often reveal glorious and awful truths about how "mundane" our world is NOT.

Ah, good evening, friend. Dr. Bedlam, at your service. Our esoteric laboratory has just opened. Come in, we are doing vital work on studying the cosmic unknown. Tell us, what do you write, and what seal do you own that contains a Terrible Truth hidden from Humanity?

Zohran has ended his victory speech by summoning and entrapping the spirit of Andrew Cuomo in a Greater Soul Gem. The translucent former governor's mouth hangs open in a pained howl as he writhes within the jewel, but makes no sound.

This is what the President of the USA, head of the Republican Party, did on the night before cutting off SNAP to tens of millions of Americans, many of whom voted for them.

This is why you have to VOTE TOMORROW.

Inspired by yesterday's music debate, I whipped together a playlist of some my favorite 21st-century rock artists.

No, Greta Va Fleet aren't on it. I used that photo to make a point. I don't hate them, but I don't love 'em either. These artists, I love.

Enjoy!

I can't be the only one noticing that rockist old curmudgeons grousing about how "No one makes great music anymore" are often the same ones trashing new artists who either ARE making great music that doesn't sound like classic rock, or trashing new artists for sounding TOO MUCH like classic rock.
Lady Gaga - a fierce-looking young woman with long dyed blond hair, with black face-paint under her eyes, a black-and-white bandanna, and a black vinyl motorcycle jacket being pulled open to reveal the black bra underneath. Greta Van Fleet - four young, androgynous guys with olive skin, brown hair (long on two of them, slicked back and shoulder=length on one, and curly and jaw-length on the last), holding bright flowers against dark-colored clothes.

Most of those monuments were raised in the 1920s, not the 1950s. Even so - points made and truths told.
