Full time dilettante, amateur brain surgeon, occasional-do-well. Just here for the LOLZ and because Xitter got replaced by some neo-Nazi echo chamber so all my old art, science, history, pop culture, music, & pagan/witchy friends are scattered to the wind.

Post a female character that you love.
Willow fixing to make some vamps wish they had never been turned. Oz and the band have her back so The Bronze is about to get very dusty.

Happy Mittens Day, to all those who observe.
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is masked, parkafied, and bemittened and so, so alone. But no cap? Has he never been out in the cold?

Demon sitting on an ottoman inside a Victorian or perhaps Georgian bedchamber while a man, sitting up slightly with his head leaning on his hand, elbow resting on pillow, is making some point in conversing with said demon while a woman - presumably the man's wife - sleeps on oblivious. Picture text is, "When a demon comes to take your unfit soul but y'all end up having a lot in common."

I was going to comment on this but my contract forbids me.

Just a old cowpoke passin' on some wisdom to a young buck standing in the corral: So I says, "Gosh dang it! Posts are skeets ma'am. Always been skeets; always will be skeets."

For the Hotness category of midnight riders, I'd say Gregg Allman would give Paul some serious competition.

Keep your powder dry.
Kermit sipping tea meme. Text is: All of Trump's picks are designed to emotionally exhaust you so that when the really crazy shit starts you won't care. But that's none of my business.

Everything you've heard is true. Do not move here. The PNW is a total hellscape ravaged by wandering gangs of hipsters in unikilts and flannel shirts. And the rain. Nothing but rain, ever.
A deceptively flattering angle for the Seattle skyline with Mount Rainier in the background and the sunset showing a gradient from pale white through orange and purple down to blue.

Saw this on a trip to Friday Harbor a couple of years ago and my wife couldn't get it out of her head since it so perfectly captures the feeling of The Orca Islands at least half the year. So it's been in our dining room ever since.
A landscape in mostly muted white shades tending towards cream white. Strokes of blue and green show that San Juan Island is never truly grey and dead, there's always water, grass, and tons of evergreens amongst the bare deciduous trees. But none of that is seen in detail. It's as though you're looking at hills across a wide valley on a misty day that only promises to get gloomier, not sunny at all. Details are blurred by the fog so you're only left with suggestions of what's before you.

Your last saved meme* is your moral philosophy.
In a more innocent time (Spring 2024) a company that has a security device for the servers that make up a big chink of The Internet pushed a configuration file out that cut off all those sites using it. Remember when we thought it couldn't get worse than that? Ahhh. good times. Oh, so the pic is Obi Wan yelling at Annakin-as-proxy "Crowd Strike, you were supposed to stop malware, not JOIN THEM!" * Yes, so I'm a geek and this is the last meme I saved.

Considering what's happening above the Arctic Circle, some new nomenclature may be in order.
/u/lifeofrevelations from Reddit proposes that what used to be called permafrost be rebranded as "I Can't Believe It's Not Permafrost!"

So I shared that with my fellow #Slackers and we now have it as an emoji there. I think we will be making great use of your happy little accident and what it inspired.
Libby's post shamelessly stolen and reposted to a private Slack group. Friend in Slack suggests creating an emoji so I did and reacted to their suggestion with the freshly wrought emoji, aptly named :trauma-dumpling:

Quote with your Kids in the Hall role model.
A screencap from "The Middle", a skit from Kids in the Hall that has no beginning or end, just a middle. It's impossible to see how a beginning could give context that would make this less absurd. Scene is a typical middle class living room. On the right is Dave Foley dressed in snorkeling gear. Next to him is Bruce McCulloch dressed in pink leotards and a lovely pink tutu. They have just been interrupted from slapping each other while arguing about who was going to stop whom and their revolutionaries from taking over this country by Scott Thompson dressed in a cheap cowboy outfit - with 10 gallon hat on backwards. He's pointing to his head in typical "Think!" gesture because he's telling them to remember what happened last time. Sadly, there was no shot that included all 3 of them along with the sheriff who is aboot to enter the scene. He's actually a small terrier dog suspended from the ceiling by a harness. Don't know if links work here but if so: https://youtu.be/vJ8LG71wj-c

It's that time of year again. Scrolling through old creepy Reddit posts. One of my faves.
old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/...
My co-worker's four year old daughter always thought that the rattling of the water pipes in the kitchen cupboards were "white wolves" and the sound always scared her. One day she was sitting at the kitchen table and she said, "Mom. The white wolves aren't bad... they're our friends!" Her mom encouraged the idea by saying, "Yes! The white wolves are protecting us. They are our friends." Then her daughter added in, "They're our friends, but not the man who crawls on the floor and stands by my bed".

Math checks out.
The "Change My Mind" meme. This time, the guy's sign reads "One out of three trump supporters are as stupid as the other two."

Yeah, Bachelor Party and Joe vs The Volcano were the sort of roles "that kid from Bosom Buddies" was getting until Big showed his potential. Even 'That Thing You Do' wasn't exactly reaching for cinematic greatness. Then "A League of Their Own" happened.

Oh, Michael Keaton has entered the chat 😆
Movie poster for "Mr. Mom". Terry Garr is dressed in a sensible woman's suit, holding a briefcase and leaning through an open door to wave goodbye to Michael Keaton who is bound at the calves with loo roll that has been run all around the bathroom by their 2 in-movie preteen boys who are themselves standing behind the main characters are even more covered in toilet paper than Keaton. Meanwhile, Keaton is holding their infant child's bare bottom directly over the vent of the type of hand dryer one finds in public restrooms which always struck me as odd since this scene should be in their home and who has a wall mounted hand dryer in their water closet?

10 days and counting...
Someone got their fingernails done and had moons and stars in a metallic enamel on them. They then got their hands x-rayed. So the picture shows wrist, hand and finger bones with a ghostly aura of the tissue around them and at the finger tips, there are floating crescent moons and stars. SPOOPY!

BRB - gotta run something to a big metal box outside the local library.
Signed and sealed ballot envelope for King County, WA. Just need to get it off this messy desk and go deliver it to the nearest ballot dropbox.

This should be the norm.
When Danuta Danielsson stepped out of a crowd in the Swedish city of Växjö in 1985 and hit a neo-Nazi with her purse, the photo quickly became famous around the world. Danielsson was widely praised back then: Her mother had reportedly survived a German Nazi concentration camp, according to Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter.

Welcome to Bluesky, BIOTCH!
Bluesky notified me that I had a new follow. Turns out it's someone claiming to be Elon Musk (I have doubts). Whether it's really him or not, I couldn't hit that Block button until I screen capped it for posterity.

Red flannel blankets on laps solve that problem. She does get annoyed when I insist on letting blood get to the foot that's currently up because she knows I'm just going to switch back in a few minutes.
A tuxedo cat named Ramona Flowers sleeping on a cozy red and black checked flannel blanket warmed from below by a human's lap and her head nestled against the softest of pillows - a middle-aged man's beer belly.

Meta physically securing their data center:
2 fence posts separated by a sign that reads "No trespassing. KEEP OUT". The length of the entire fence is just a bit wider than the width of the very small sign; like less than a foot wide.
