Calling ‘Welcome to Derry’ mid is an insult, a grievous affront to all the other shows out there working hard and giving their all to maintain their midness.

If Donald Trump was a document format, what kind of document format would he be?

He’d be a pdf file!!

BREAKING: You Can’t Fool All of the People All of the Time

Someone approaches you in 1993, tells you what the internet currently is, and what it will become by 2025. He gives you a choice: let the internet be, or kill it in its cradle. Which way are you voting?

YOU, an idealistic clown retaining hope like a sucker: Engages in meaningful and strategic acts of resistance, opens dialogues and builds support networks, prepares.

ME, an intellectual: Stands on streetcorner with a THE END IS NIGH sign.

Look, all I’m saying is: When I die, if anyone ever quotes anything I said, you should construe it as a personal attack upon my memory, and work to see that they’re punished in some way. Why do you look all confused?

WELP. We fucked around and got us a dictatorship.

Good thing we got all these state’s righters and strict constitutionalists around. They’ve been just dying to rise up against this kinda thing. I’m sure that’ll start any second now.

Hardest thing about Springtime is the sudden lack of pockets.

The middle class now seems be 75% comprised of people who are just good at being poor. How long’s it been this way?

Sports fans. I’m with you. The “derp sPorTsBaLl!” guys suck. And I will stand against them with you. Shoulder to shoulder. Comrades.

But y’all got some work to do too. Remember: *benign disinterest in sports is not hostility to sports.*

Is there a place that doxxes billionaire’s climate doomsday bunkers? Location, defenses, recommendations on how to circumvent said defenses?

Because if that isn’t a thing I would definitely contribute to a kickstarter to make it a thing. Also let’s do print editions.

Okay so if I get the plot of Nosferatu, it’s about a german girl from the 1830s who got so *incandescently horny* that a thousand miles away a long-dormant undead monster stirred in his coffin and said DAMN.

Do I have that right?

If a piece of media is described as being ‘like Firefly’ it’s a so-far 100% guarantee that I’ll hate it. But… I like Firefly. I even went back and watched some just to make sure that I *still* like it, and yeah. It’s dated but still enjoyable. Can someone explain this seeming paradox?

Anyone out there have a good Things-to-do-when-it-looks-like-civilization-is-ending-and-evil-is-triumphant list?

Because I’m worried that civilization is ending and evil is triumphant.

But did ‘all the reindeer’ love him? One may be forgiven for doubting it. Does it seem credible these ‘other reindeer’, lately so cruel in their mockery and exclusion, would welcome the elevation of he who had been least among them? Seen in this way ‘go down in history’ may imply threat.

I just stepped in to my local indie bookshop and had a delightful chat with the owner about all the awesome sci fi and fantasy books he's got in for Christmas. Bookshop people who love the books they sell are magnificent beasts. I now have all the books. That is all.

Anyone else tired of these judgy ass snowmen badgering you about your intentions? Fuck off, frosty. It’s the 21st century. And me and my friend are just out here trying to chill and enjoy a damn holiday situationship.
