Gertrude Stein’s Susie Asado opening lines: Sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet tea. Susie Asado. Sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet tea. Sides Asado.

Our era’s

a group of cartoon characters standing next to each other and one of them says thank you so much Alt: Shax is jogging along with crew members cheering him on. He says, “thank you so much!”

Yay!

Four samurai helmets. Bottom tier is an impressive dragon one and one with bull’s horns. The upper tier has a fairly standard one, but the second one is shaped like the stem end of an aubergine/eggplant!

The samurai helmets. The first is quite simple with a silver snake embellishment. The furthest on the right has a large butterfly on the brow. The middle one has edamame bean pods shaped like horns right smack dab in the middle.

I really enjoyed that exhibition. So many beautiful things. But also, this adorable aubergine/eggplant samurai helmet! Oh, and the one with edamame bean pods!

I got to see the London staging of it. Their puppet Totoro was operated by 12 people and it was amazing.

I know. I was there. Actually at the time I was working as a game designer on SOCOM: US Navy SEALs. We had to pull a level because the premise was some Arab terrorists had hijacked a small plane and crashed it. Hard to really state how fucked up that was.

Tell that to “war crimes” Archer…

*go
Sheesh fingers

I’m hoping they got to a convention celebrating Reuben sandwiches.

And as always, there's a little block party down at the bottom of the thread.

Agreed! A nice complexity development for a character that could have become grating.

Runa got to go!

Yeah. Rough one today.

Okay... but it's telling me Tai Chi will bring back my libido during/after perimenopause so this Tai Chi thing seems like a universal cure!

Too soon, but...

Cover for The Raven and the Reindeer by T. Kingfisher. On a grey background a bookmark style rectangle has the image of a reindeer skull with a raven perched on the antler.

I'm confused. Is this one the US cover?

I follow @runalongwomble.bsky.social who, every Sunday, asks what everyone is reading and the absolute volume of published works posted, the breadth & scope of published works, astonishes me every Sunday. We're living in an absolute onslaught of books in the best kind of way. Read whatever you want!

It's my next read. Looking forward to it!

"one must suffer to be beautiful"

Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Philippa Georgiou look fierce as fuck in a shimmering royal purple ensemble.

Despite all its flaws, I'm happy to see its costuming rewarded. The styling of that film is just outstanding.

You true!

🎶But why are we singing?!🎶

I love all the Reno, but I’m still skeptical. I mean, Ake was in her chair and the Doctor? Hm.

Cover of the novel What We Can Know by Ian McEwan. A bronze colored forest flower with lots of gears and cogs has in the center a mirror like oval with fuzzy greenery.

Boy. The US cover is so boring compared to yours. 🫤

Loved that one.

I hate when a book sounds like something I want to read and there’s no ebook. Ugh.

That sounds like a good kind of upsetting.

Cover for the novel The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry. In a woodcut style, the twisting body of a green serpent is overlaid with flowers and leaves in shade of yellow and orange.

Oooh. The Memory Police is quite the read! I’m currently in the thick of The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry. Quite enjoying it.

I can’t get my head around the idea that they did the Adana maneuver with 3 people. The entire ship. Three people.
