  • This is some real conspiracy theory thinking. This entire article boils down to “I have figured out this secret thing that nobody else, not even the former president or candidates of the Democratic party know about!” It’s all a wild supposition with zero backing evidence, just this one person’s shower thought being passed off as fact.

    Please don’t buy into this level of lizard-people nonsense. It’s not helpful for anyone.






  • You’re a short motherfucker and nobody likes you!

    flute noises BITCH!

    Everybody says, “Look how fucking short that guys is.”

    And that stops you from forming meaningful relationships.

    When you were born everybody thought that you were just a head

    But then the doctor said, "WAIT!

    This stupid, motherfucking, tiny, short-ass baby Got a tiny, little, itty-bitty body

    And I hate it!"

    The first season of Andor is some of the best TV I have ever watched. Its incredibly well done.

    The second season is still good, just not great. Apparently there were originally supposed to be 5 seasons, and it kind of shows that they compacted it all into two. The highs of season 2 are on par with season 1, but its just not as consistently excellent.

    The ending isn’t a grand finale, but it can’t be. The grand finale is Rogue One. I didn’t have a problem with it because I always had RO in mind as the last, extra long episode.

    1000% still worth a watch. Easily the best Star Wars content to have come out in the Disney era by a mile.



  • My partner and I stumbled across first edition Ticknor & Fields printings (1867) of Henry Longfellow’s translations of Inferno and Purgatorio at a used bookstore a couple years back. Got them for a song since they were missing the Paradiso to complete the set.

    The owner said that they had been sitting in his storage for 15 years as part of an estate donation he got and he finally had the chance to go through it. When he found them he tore apart the rest of the boxes looking for the Paradiso but it just wasn’t there.

    Now its our white whale. Every used bookstore we go in we scour the classics/oldest/rare book section looking to complete the set.







  • In the original Jurassic Park novel by Michael Crichton, one of the animals they’ve cloned are these giant dragonflies. Its only one line in the book (Tim, one if the kids, sees one fly by and recalls reading about them) but it caught my attention as just straight impossible. I remember thinking, “Unless you’re somehow controlling the oxygen level of the air around this entire island, there’s no way that bug can’t breathe.”
