Matt Berry is announcing at the Oscars. For that alone I might just watch.

South Park on Affleck, "I'd write you a poem or sing you a song, but, I have no talent." hits a bit different now eah? H read somewhere that his parents had buttocks where their faces should be...

You should see my collection, 400+ "handwriting" fonts, which are not supposed to be typed out, rather, positioned to create a word. I should totally just pay someone to do this shit! 😁

After a year of pressure, activists call off Target boycott Boycott leaders say they're ending their yearlong campaign against Target over scaled-back diversity initiatives.

Nope. Not a dime for Target. They abandoned DEI and inclusive gear on their shelves like an _______ (insert idiom) without any pressure to do so. Two billion to revamp their image without addressing the reason for the boycott in the first place.

Idk, I'm 54 and really don't care very much. I was just like, really? I don't tinker to find a perspective partner. I tinker and talk tinker with others who tinker who are, unattractive too I guess.

Unattractive, model making, tinkering humans FTW!

I just saw a video where a woman was asked "What is the least attractive hobby?" To which she replied, "Model making, specifically airplanes, trains anything in that genre."

Honestly, I'm upset about that! Like, I have a whole nerdinarium for making stuff just like that..

Bluesky CEO Jay Graber Is Stepping Down Venture capitalist Toni Schneider will take over as interim CEO as Bluesky’s board of directors hunts for a permanent replacement.

The bit about how Threads has roughly 400 million users by comparison. Does anyone actually use Threads? Instagram auto created accounts so this assessment is BS. Id also like to point out that Wired is owned by Advance Publications who published Art of the Deal...

Ive always fallen on the side of 30 minutes. Set it ahead 30 minutes instead of an hour at Spring and leave it there... Schools starting before sunrise would need to start 30 minutes after sunrise at winter solstice. IDK, coffee today, lots of it please.

Target is making big changes to win back customers. Here's what shoppers can expect to see Target's merchandising leaders previewed the company's ambitious plans to overhaul key categories, including home and apparel, at an investor meeting.

Target went maga. The number one thing at issue is the promptness in which they ditched DEI, ditched LGBT merch, and donated to trump's bs inauguration in a show of fealty. None of that addressed here.

U.S. Judge says Kari Lake broke law in overseeing Voice of America He declared all of Lake's actions over the past year to be null and void, including the layoffs of more than 1,000 journalists and staffers.

When they loose elections it must be election fraud. When they loose in court it must be an activist judge. Lake is plague tinged rat feces.

The Bounty of the Sea
During the past thirty years, I have observed and studied the oceans closely, and with my own two eyes I have seen them sicken. Certain reefs that teemed with fish only ten year ago are now almost lifeless. The ocean bottom has been raped by trawlers.  Priceless wetlands have been destroyed by landfill. And everywhere are sticky gobs of oil, plastic refuse, and unseen clouds of poisonous effluents.  Often when I describe the symptoms of the ocean’s sickness, I hear remarks like β€œthey’re only fish” or β€œthey’re only whales” or β€œthey’re only birds.” But I assure you that our destinies are linked with theirs in the most profound and fundamental manner. For it all the oceans should die- by which I mean that all life in the sea would finally cease- this would signal the end not only for marine life, but for all other animals and plants of this earth, including man.
With life departed, the ocean would become, in effect, one enormous cesspool. Billions of decaying bodies, large and small, would create such an insupportable stench that man would be forced to leave all the coastal regions. Bur far worse would follow.
The ocean acts as the earth’s buffer. It maintains a fine balance between many salts and gases which make life possible. But dead seas would have no buffering effect. The carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere would start on a steady and remorseless climb, and when it reached a certain level a β€œgreenhouse effect” would be created. The heat that normally radiates outward from earth to space would be blocked by the CO2 (carbon dioxide) and sea level temperatures would dramatically increase.
One catastrophic effect of this heat would be the melting of the icecaps at both the North and South Poles. As a result, the ocean would rise by 100 feet or more, enough to flood almost all the world’s major cities. These rising waters would drive one-third of the earth’s billions inland, creating famine, fighting, chaos, and disease on a scale almost imp…

Every time I see data like this, I cant help but think of an essay in The Bounty of the Sea by Jacques Cousteau. I read this in biology as a high school freshman in 1986 and it scared the crap out me, and have never, ever forgotten it either. He wrote this in 1963. I grew up watching him on TV.

The fact this monster is still in his job is a testament to just how much the people in charge don't care. He's got literal blood of kids on his hands. An absolute monster.

I will wish the rest of my life, that I could've participated in making these movies. Just, basic filmmaking, lighting, costuming, and having fun just breaking stuff. Many thanks to
Ishirō Honda, who directed eight of the over thirty Godzilla movies in the franchise.

Lesser Swinecress? Anyone? It has a mustardish like smell and it's popped up all over my garden. Found a couple in the yard over a foot across.

It wants me to see a bunch of AI drop shipping for cheap merch.

Crying Dad/Husband/or Goth Girl - Failing _______ Business, AI Generated Hot Girl in a make process or just straight up stolen b-roll, then a product reveal. Almost always for merch found on AliExpress.

They were the first to capitulate & drop DEI, willingly, w/ zero pressure. After a couple maga swine lost it over LGBT gear, instead of standing up & confirming they actually support a marginalized community, they removed the merch proving it was all performative. Fire the CEO, then we can talk...

CW GOOD HUMANS ADULT NOVELTIES BELOW...

Looking through for a specific dog pic this morning I scrolled into these. The Bowtie lineup we introduced a few weeks ago. Just, so freaking excellent. No light box or Photoshop here, just the striking contrast of color. A pain to make, but very groovy.
