Listen, if you’re up against a pitcher with an arm strong enough to throw a baby 60.5 feet and over the plate, you’ve already lost.

Used the classic 2/1 ratio of water and white vinegar to clean the carpet in my room. Now the stains are all gone, and the air smells rather like testicles in the summertime.

Hey, no worries, just watching Lucio Fulci's ZOMBIE for the fifth night in a row as penance for being a lifelong horror fan who, at 41 with a Film degree, never properly delved into Eye-talian horror before. Wow. Astonishing stuff. Captivated.

Living in a fascist dystopia is feeling yourself go mad as you see one last straw after another, an endless series of last straws for decades, and every single one gets shrugged off without effort or any kind of real consequences for the person who did it.

It's ok to feel sad about it. It is genuinely sad. Twitter is where I met my wife, the love of my life and the mother of my children. Now that Twitter is dying, I have no way to contact these three.
I shouldn’t be sad about twitter dying but it feels like a loss. I’m a sap.

Let me be clear: In the last place, there were far too many hordes of trolls for me to actively express my disdain for those who are abusive bullies for no reason.
HERE, on the other hand, I DO NOT INTEND TO FUCK AROUND OR LET THINGS GO.

DS9 gets criticism for going against the utopian vision of TOS and TNG; and I couldn’t disagree more
they were very intentional about which parts of the optimistic vision of the future were utopian; and what the cost of that utopia was
and the writers directly attacked fascism at every opportunity

Every so often I'm reminded Fred Rogers and George Romero were good friends and members of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood's cast turned up as zombies in Romero's movies and my day gets a sliver brighter.

Man, someday I'm gonna die, and even though I had a lifetime filled with myriad accomplishments I'm proud of, all people will say about me is, "He was the guy from Harry Potter."
Not because I actually had anything to do with the franchise, but because I'm bearded & potbellied like Hagrid.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a bunch of GOP Congresspeople just strolled around the metal detector security checkpoints a couple years ago, right? Just refused to comply, and got fined a little, and that was it?
But THIS, I bet, they'll enforce. With extreme prejudice.
