* attempts to pronounce “psychiatrist” in the most French manner possible *

“Brazilla” isn’t actually named for Brazil! Instead, the kaiju’s name reflects both her gorilla like strength, and her massive 402DD bust

This is so stupid I’d believe it from this Administration

KOW YOKOYAMA!

apparently it's not just fairly cold but, legitimately, it's SNOWING outside

drawing not just digitigrade legs, but Stith style "let's just add a whole batch'a joints in there" legs

both to make fun of payment providers

and because multiple knees/ankles which aren't sore in cold weather is sort of a non-sexual, but middle aged equivalent of furry art with multiple cocks

the nature of the world is that you're never actually right about everything, the nature of humanity is that your age synchs up with specious certainty, rooted in either being young and energetic OR old and cynical.

initially I was going to make some sort of "Rails of Mordheim" joke but checking the name for Mayfair's various train themed boardgames gets me to how Amtrak runs an "Empire Builder" between Seattle and Chicago, and now I'm thinking of how much I want to take a train somewhere and it's impossible.

The collapse of the entire country and the world is being engineered by folks who think an 8 hour workday is too short and pays too much, so it makes sense they'd still need us sharecroppers working as hard as usual or trying to get jobs in their recession.

realizing now that it's BOTH ability to access news has gotten better AND things have gotten worse lately

oh wow, interests intersect. I don't think anyone would *not* go nuts over this dog, but I hadn't known of this amateur photographer before, and look what he managed to snap a picture of in 1954?

i put vivi lives back up, proceeds are going to help my friends out.

Being nostalgic for the 90s is a little like missing suburban Ohio now that you live in East Oakland, or wishing your nightmares would let up so you could dream about the parking lot at Safeway. It's that sort of "well it wasn't THIS bullshit, but it wasn't actually good either."

the urge to rant about how the 90s were just plain *weird*; the cold war was over, the nightmares of 9/11 and later lay ahead, and a generation traumatized by nuclear fears and AIDS collectively wondered what to do.

the fuck. I usually like to think of Kiwis as being smarter and having more self preservation than my fellow Americans.

*yells about Togo for half a minute and goes back to watching the video*

dude sure is channeling his inner Commodus.

why, WHY do I remember the most utterly distasteful lines in Das Boot, verbatim? And yet somehow NOT in German?

Tupolyov, vuisokmernii osyol. Tui NAS ubilis'.

WHOOOOOM!

POVAR? SCHTO ETO TAKOYE?

ya khotelis vidyet' Montana.

oh yeah this is clearly the part of Basil Poledouris' soundtrack where Jack Ryan discovers the Atlantean tomb

If I made 3 figures a year I'd definitely buy burritos for all of us!

* leaning to the right during the part of the soundtrack with the National Anthem to compensate for a non existent submarine rolling to port *

the days of Yuri Gagaaaaaarin!

which in turn reminds me that it's a perfectly appropriate time to listen to the Hunt for Red October or The Boat soundtracks.

"kholodnaya utra, tovarisch kapitan"
"da. kholodnaya i trudnaya"
"pora poplivaemsya, tovarisch kapitan"
"da. pora."

(I did say my Russian was shit, right?)

Proposed comic book cover.

the Red Sonya/Red October crossover we’ve all been waiting for

But Derek, ranch dressing isn’t actually good, surely you mean… oh. Yeah. Yeah you’re right.

have YOU fucking done anything mate? What I’ve been doing is pathetic but at least it’s not just name calling and casual antisemitism.

Wait is this a real thing?
