Me: "they've got the London Underground map. They're tube socks."

This is a character you would expect in an ancient mythology representing the origin of all creatures. It would also feature in several esoteric texts and possibly a JMS Spider-man run.

…I am displeased to learn that to sign out of Netflix on a Roku, one has to input the Konami code on one's TV Remote.

I WISH I WAS JOKING.

“Men or nations who think they can revive the Faith in order to make a good society might just as well think they can use the stairs of Heaven as a short cut to the nearest chemist’s shop.“

C. S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters: With Screwtape Proposes a Toast (New York: HarperCollins, 2009), Lt 23.

Are we going to see a bunch of influential Dems named when the truth finally comes out? Yes.

Should they be prosecuted alongside the Republicans? Also yes.

They did it, they figured out the Star Wars fan service I would watch religiously even if it were absolute slop that went on for way too many seasons
ANDOR creator Tony Gilroy likes the idea of a Kleya and Vel ‘Nazi hunters’ spin-off series in which the duo hunt after former Imperials following the fall of the Empire with the assistance of Dedra Meero in a Hannibal Lector-esque role.

It's amusing and slightly horrifying to watch a certain frighteningly intelligent paralegal sharpen her flensing knives and then convince someone *else* to flay themselves alive out of sheer misogyny and spite.

It's… hilarious, in a terrifying sort of way.
