Hot take: The Wrath of Khan is the proto–legacy sequel. It brings back a cast, leans into their aging, resurrects an old villain, and tees up a “next generation” of protégés/nepo babies to inherit the franchise who are then immediately sidelined or discarded in the sequels that follow.

comics are important and we should think of them as a part of a balanced literary diet

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

I honestly don’t know what to say anymore. It is overwhelmingly clear at this point that the Republican Party has sold its soul to protect a child rapist, led by wealthy ghouls who will never have enough.

There is only one war, now and forever, and it is the class war. There must be consequences.

It's a dark time for artists. Many are struggling!

It's easy to buy gifts online. When you buy from *artists*, you're supporting working people, instead of making rich jerks richer.

This fall, send your present $$ to an artist's shop!

Artists! Drop your shop links!

& check out SquidFacts.net 😘

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Raise your hand if you know what happens at supermarkets in lower-income/working class neighborhoods of color when the national understanding is that prices are going up.

Never mind, I’ll tell you: PRICE GOUGING.

A six-panel image meme using screenshots of characters Michael Scott and Pam Beesly from the American television show The Office. The meme follows a three-row, two-column layout showing a short conversation where Pam's enthusiasm quickly turns to disappointment as Michael reveals he did not provide any practical support for her book. Panel 1 (Top Left): Michael Scott, a middle-aged man in a dark suit and tie, is seated at a desk, looking serious. The text caption reads: "Just finished your book. I loved it!" Panel 2 (Top Right): Pam Beesly, a woman with shoulder-length brown hair, is looking off-camera with a wide, excited smile and bright eyes. The text caption reads: "Oh, my goodness, thank you! Did you leave a review?" Panel 3 (Middle Left): Michael is shown again, seated at the desk. He has a slight, knowing smirk on his face and is looking toward Pam. Panel 4 (Middle Right): Pam's expression has become more neutral, with a slight furrow in her brow, suggesting growing doubt or impatience. The text captions read: "A rating? Recommend it to a friend?" Panel 5 (Bottom Left): Michael is shown in a close-up, looking directly at the camera with a neutral, slightly confused expression. The text caption reads: "None of those things. But I hope it becomes a best-seller!" Panel 6 (Bottom Right): Pam is shown in a close-up, her face a picture of deadpan disappointment and slight disbelief, looking directly at the camera. The caption space is blank. The meme illustrates the common frustration of creators who receive compliments but no tangible support (like ratings, reviews, or recommendations) that helps promote their work.

I met James Watson at a local conference in graduate school.

Watson apparently “over-learned that his bad manners were tolerated because of the greatness of the discovery he had made.”

Kindness is a legacy that he failed to leave.

In 1107, King Henry's butler founded the abbey of Wymondham, & he donated 2 things to help the monks get by:

1. the right to salvage shipwrecks on a nearby coast
2. a rent of 2,000 eels per year

Time for an eel picnic on the beach!

Meme. Medieval painting showing a shipwreck. The ship in question is upside down near a green shore, and the passengers are falling out. There are three figures in the process of tumbling from the ship. They are all wearing plate armor, and seem destined to sink right to the bottom. There is a fourth figure, wearing red, swimming in the water. He is also wearing armor, so he's probably screwed too. Unlike the others, he's wearing a crown. So he is royally screwed. There are three other ships, loaded down with warriors in armor, standing just off shore in the roads. They're watching the disaster unfolding, but they can't do anything about it. The king's fate is his own. The three ships could represent the trinity, or they could represent the 3 out of 4 dentists who agree. And the 4th? Well. You can see what happened to that guy. If there are eels lurking in the shallows (as is likely) they are about to have a wonderful feast. Meme text reads: "The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgereeld"

This spectacular pic by Cari Letelier captured an incredible aurora-filled sky over Arctic Henge (in Raufarhöfn, northern Iceland), a monumental structure still under construction that is like a huge sundial, aiming to capture the sunrays, ...

What an insane photo! There’s this modern stone monument, the Arctic Henge, standing tall and proud under a mind-blowing aurora in an Icelandic night that looks hand-painted.Greens, pinks, yellows, and reds swirling like living curtains, twisting, weaving, totally hypnotizing. Up top, Polaris shines straight like a beacon. Left side, Ursa Major hanging out; bottom right, Orion peeking in.Seven hours waiting in the freezing cold, nose running, feet numb… and then, bam! This magical explosion of colors. It’s kinda like Stonehenge, but Nordic edition: basically a giant sundial built to snag the sun’s rays, drop shadows exactly where they’re supposed to, and trap the light between these perfectly aligned arches.It’s not just rocks. It’s a place that makes you feel tiny… and alive.
