what if I can do the opening monologue to Babylon 5 season 2?

oh my GOD what do you mean that's happened more than once
Itβs 3 BBY.
Things are heating up on Ghorman, Mon Mothma is trying to enact change within the system, and Saw Gerrera gets into the metaphor business.
Thatβs right, itβs time for another edition of the Andor series over at my newsletter!

your _mom_ is just an idempotent rack
An 18th century funerary ticket, festooned with cartoon skeletons and little banners that read 'Momento Mori' and 'Remember to Die'; with the text: "YOU are desired to Accompany the Corps of Mrs. DOROTHY WOOD, late Wife of THOMAS WOOD, Gentleman, from his Dwelling House in LITTLETON in the County of MIDDLESEX to the Parish Church there, on FRIDAY the 17th Day of NOVEMBER, 1704 at Three of the Clock in the Afternoon precisely, and bring this Ticket with you.' Also I cannot emphasize enough how silly the cartoon skeletons look.
so in the 17/18th century, our good friends the Puritans decided that sermons and eulogies and hymns were all too papist for a good honest funeral; so if you wanted to impress upon others your family wealth with lavish mourning rites, it required more creative thinking.
Like these funeral tickets.
did this happen after the primary on Tuesday??? lmao oh my god are other transphobe Dems just quitting because they got stomped so badly
A random thought about the Scrubs reboot (which I am enjoying): Like the Frasier reboot, I would have loved a version where J.D., Turk, and Elliot really WERE the Cox and Kelso to a new generation of p.o.v. youngsters. I get why this will never happen, but I'd love to see it anyway.
Israel has just issued a demand that all of Beirutβs southern suburbs, an area roughly the size of central Berlin or lower Manhattan, run for their lives. Tens of thousands are forced to flee- again. Real fears that they will level much of southern Beirut- an area where more than 500,000 live.
yeah as soon as the little Markab kid shows up I was like, JMS you bastard
I have to confess, I remembered this as another 'Trek wouldn't do THIS'/make-Franklin-suffer episode like Believers but it's a lot better than I remember
The Babylon 5 plague episode ("Confessions and Lamentations", season 2 episode 18) is just laser targeted about the reaction to COVID despite having been written and produced in 1995.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
high school principal (mom's side) and marketing for US savings bonds (dad's side)
With Dallas early vote now in, Crockett's path to victory looks gone. She needed 80%+ of the vote there to make up for Talarico running up margins in Austin, San Antonio, and the rural + western counties. Only got 60%.
2026 - 2020 swing hasn't changed all night

once again I reiterate that I have never found a more effective barometer for "is this space safe for my fat cis body" than "show me your specific policies for creating a safe space for trans bodies"
it has a 100% success rate everywhere from doctors to waxing to clothing-optional soaking pools
okay I don't want to overhype this thing but I think I might be writing the scariest novel that somehow uses the word 'comptroller'
tl;dr: more people should watch this gentleman's speech and think seriously about what he is saying

When Archduke Harry says to Lady Orlando, 'With your ambiguous sexuality, which I am prepared to tolerate...'

Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller. First panel, Nancy talking to a logger sawing a tree and pointing to a carved piece of trunk. Nancy: Can I have that piece? My boy friend carved it. Logger: Sure. Second panel, Nancy is watching the log burn in the fire place. Nancy: I'm mad at him.
Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.
watching ORLANDO on Tubi and I think Virginia Woolf would appreciated her work broken up by Jon Hamm narrating BetMGM ads
Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."
Once again.
no war no borders no cops no prisons no to all of this shit
I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

Art matters. And what do we do with things that matter? We protect them.
