I was at @page158books.bsky.social and, friends, how could I NOT? I'm only human, after all.

Just wanted to point out that there were a lot of municipal elections yesterday, too. Here in Wake Forest, NC, home of the SOUTHEAST BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, we elected a Muslim liberal to the town board of commissioners. The Mamdani effet?

Is Trump watching B5? He'll get the wrong takeaways!
It's a post from Trump on his social media site. Post reads, "AND SO IT BEGINS," words I will never not read in the voice of Kosh Naranek.

Name another comic character that has been so consistently well adapted in other media.
The Tick leaps from a rooftop in the animated Tick series. Patrick Warburton is the Tick in the 2001 live-action series. Giffin Newman as Arthur and Peter Serafinowicz as The Tick in the 2016 Amazon series.

The 2000 live-action Tick Series and The Dark Knight. Both featured Nestor Carbonell. He was the mayor in TDK and TDKR, and in the Tick he played...Bat-Manuel

If you see this, quote with a vampire that isn't Dracula
It's a mirror with no reflection. There's a vampire there, but it's not Dracula.

Wow, @subpress.bsky.social! This is gorgeous! The day I got a care package from Lusty Monk Mustard is no longer my most profitable on the socials! Definitely need to re-read this terrific book.
Book cover shows a taxi trying to escape the clutches of giant tentacles. N.K. Jamison, "The City We Became" Leaf inside the book is signed by the author. "This special signed edition is limited to 500 numbered and 26 lettered copies. This is copy PC" Illustration shows two people standing by a body of water at night. City buildings are behind a row of trees in the background and the moon is full. The shorter of the two figures shakes their fist in a show of defiance. The water is shaped into an arm in the same pose which towers over the two figures.

I'm sure someone has done this, but it popped unbidden into my head after reading another fucking LinkedIn post about how great "AI" will be.
It's an "Invincible" meme. Omniman and Invincible, labeled "Actual smart and creative people" look at fighter jets in the difference, labeled "AI." Omniman says to Invincible, "Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power."

I bitch a lot about living in suburbia (and it DOES suck sometimes), but it occasionally pays off.

It's National Black Dog Day and on this day I always remember the greatest of all dogs, black and otherwise, (Saint) Grendel.
A Black lab who is not tiny, but is working on it, sits on a loveseat. No, that's not gray on his muzzle. He isn't 12 in this photo and nearing the end. He's just a puppy! The best.

I'm insatiably curious and have an interest in philosophy and its intersection with action/violence. So not this version, but Denny O'Neil's. I picked this picture because I own the original art for it.

This by Becky Chambers isn't exactly new, but it is new to me. The story of ordinary people doing human things in extraordinary, inhuman places, is breathtaking. An ode to doing the work, and an eloquent argument for crewed space exploration. Absolutely fucking amazing.

So much is wrong at every level right now. But today I got to ride bikes to school with my daughter and I'm waiting right now to ride home with her. It's easy to forget that there can be pure joy in the world, and I am obscenely lucky. I wish everyone could do this.

Oh. Your. G-d. This is a thing you can have for $49.95. Shut it ALL down.

Oh, and THANKS, OBAMA!

It's a kippah. With a picture of Charlie Fucking Kirk on it. Except they like him. Kippah honoring Charlie Kirk after his assassination on September 10. All proceeds will be donated to Jewish or pro-Israel causes, or those promoting free speech and debate in the United States. Details will be determined later. This is a pre-order and will hopefully ship in ~1 month. You will receive an update in the case of delays. If we don't sell 100, we will refund the money. JDRIP is not a partisan company. We are releasing this item in honor of free political speech and debate in the United States, in alignment with the statements of both Barack Obama and Donald Trump.

Help me out, millennials. Is this true? Tell me there's hope.

The meme begins, "What Boomers think Millennials want" is next to a picture of avocado toast. The second half is "What Millennials really want," next to a picture of a guillotine either being erected or taken down in a French town square.

Got to take advantage of the fine weather and the greenway adjacent to our house by riding bikes to school with the youngling. I am incredibly privileged that I can do this. The best part is that I get to do it again in 6.5 hours!
A smallish person on a bike. The road is framed with lush growth. The road bends at the edge of the frame. A blurry picture of a deer. She emerged from the trees about 50' in front of us and was off across a soccer field before I could get the phone out. A creek in the woods. A tunnel of tree branches over the greenway. There's light up ahead, though.
