- And the thing is... The number of their countries that have also done or supported some heinous shot is a number larger and zero
- Sorry for the typos, running on little sleep
- Packing up a house you've been in for 17 years (aka by far the longest time you've lived in one domicile): a complete trip!
- Judas Priest have a couple with their covers of Fleetwood Mac's Green Manalishi and Joan Baez's Diamonds and Rust, and I love that they're back to back on Unleashed in the East
- The subconscious DJ in my head had me play Hejira after Maps. Appreciate the thematic resonance, subconscious DJ!
- Hell yeah (awesome cover art by Adam Burke, Nightjar Illustration)
- holy fuck here we go! #goatkvlt @hellrippermetal.bsky.social ftfw! hellripper.bandcamp.com/album/corona...

- Just need the right angle! I took a video of one at our window bird feeder that shows it well. Still, it's a dubious name for sure. Red-assed woodpecker must have been shot down. www.instagram.com/reel/DSdLjtj...

- Awesome, thank you! Sending out this afternoon.
- When he died, I got all my dad's old audio gear like this Kenwood tape deck, a Lenco phonograph, a couple receivers and an equalizer and I haven't done anything with them yet. I'm about to move to a new place with enough room for them. But I'm kind of overwhelmed by the thought of setting them up.
- I also got a bunch of tapes for this deck and all of his records. It was definitely all that I wanted of his; strong memories of him turning it up loud and dropping the needle on "Babylon Sisters" and "Black Cow"

- Oh hell! Hate that for you!
- What’s most disappointing in reading this is the active role of the NYT science desk in spreading transphobic disinformation. Really shameful what Azeen Ghoryashi (used to respect her for covering sexual harassment in science) and Virginia Hughes did to twist science for their anti-trans campaign.

- That's dreadful. So sorry to hear that.
- Really disappointed in the number of skeptics and scicomm folks I used to respect 10-15 years back have revealed themselves to be transphobes
- In case anyone isn't aware, this is the latest Amazon fuckery. Blue Aster Studio doesn't seem to have been sucked into it but we do come up if you search our name on Amazon, with "buy directly" links for a small number of random items.
- Here is a link to a reddit post with more info: www.reddit.com/r/shopify/s/...
- Utter loser freaks Though it does make me imagine walking into a bathroom and seeing a Komodo dragon, which I'd frankly prefer
- Reply with a piece of palaeoart that deeply influenced you as a child. Séguin's Troodon, encountered in the 1993 DK Visual Dictionary of Dinosaurs. I spent many hours poring over this book, Lessen and Glut's Dinosaur Encyclopedia, and the Making of Jurassic Park.

- Yup, Ron Séguin worked with Dale Russell on this and the dinosauroid
- Years and years and YEARS of nonsense flowed due to a fuzzy, low-resolution of this rock, the so-called Face on Mars. I can't believe how much of my life i dedicated to debunking BS like it. www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/hoa...

- I spent a few years in the 90's reading Hoagland and thinking there was something to it 😭 The importance of your work, and that of other science communicators, isn't lost on me!
- The best thing about Black Mirror (speaking personally just for me alone - YMMV) was that it introduced me to "Bright Eyes" by Art Garfunkel music.apple.com/us/album/bri...
- Tornado warning in late December. Madness!
- I watched the Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special with my wife and dog. Imagine watching that and thinking America needed a single solitary Stephen Miller
- Yabba dabba fruity-licious too
- Just FaceTimed with the niece, nephew-in-law, and baby grandniece and it's striking how different our holiday media traditions are... Their Christmas Carol isn't the Muppets, its the Jim Carrey one. They've never seen Pee-Wees Xmas. They actually watch and aren't horrified by the Polar Express
- Good Xmas gift to have Pluribus drop early this week, right before the end of my billing cycle, so I could cancel instead of renewing for $13 just to see the finale
- We popped into our local fancy foods and cookware store and folks they have abandoned me and my fellow licorice freaks. One measly imported licorice confection. We used to be a society

- Powder! Will wonders never cease!
- I didn't spend enough time with enough new releases this year for a top ten, so here are my five favorite albums of 2025. 🥁🥁🥁 billy woods: Golliwog Sabrina Carpenter: Man's Best Friend Kelsey Waldon: Every Ghost Vanishing Amulet: Moonlit Crier Yumiko Morioka and Takashi Kokubo: Gaiaphilia
- Several years ago I annoyed fair number of people, trying to get help identifying a poorly remembered Christmas song I'd heard on the radio or maybe in a retail store.
-
View full threadThe singer had some grit in his voice. And when it came out of my mouth it basically sounded like cookie monster. Presented with this, no one could figure it out, nor should they have been expected to.
- Finally, somehow, one fortuitous day I heard it. "Driving Home For Christmas" by Chris Rea. RIP man, your Christmas song is a delight
- "CHRIIISTMAAASSS/ CHRIIISTMASASSS" I'd sing in a vague approximation of the melody, making hand gestures and bobbing my body to impart, poorly to be sure, the sprightly feel of the tune
- Saw a commercial for a "tactical" hoodie and fellas I'm sorry to announce that apparently wearing layers to keep warm is gay
- [Not loaded yet]
- Yes, of course

- I'd definitely feel safer wearing it!
- I love blue jays. I heard one screaming in our redbud tree for like 30 seconds, watched it drop to the ground, grab a cached nut, and fly up to another tree to eat it
- Cleaning out my basement in preparation for a move and I found this (sadly unautographed) 8x10 of Han Solo on my workbench. Bought at Suncoast Video for $2.99 around 1995.

- Truly cursed! The closing lecture at that! Just grasping but I wonder if the Wild Things south organizers went rogue?
- I just figured out that February 13, 2026 will be the 40th anniversary of Norm Peterson's "milkbone underwear" line

- Hell yeah!
- Star Wars cooked my brain so good that I read this and my first thought is Max Rebo
- To be perfectly honest the diegetic music in Jabba's palace really influenced my musical taste
- Still my fave; a blast to see on the big screen. RJ did so much with the pretty iffy ingredients JJ handed him. The years between TLJ and TROS were my favorite years of SW fandom since the 90's. TROS + deaged Luke in Mando effectively ended it.

- Yeah, I think I audibly groaned. The way people were cheering it made me queasy.

- Ha, the brain damage is too real.
- It very much bums me out to look back on old Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs posts and see dead Twitter embeds but I've never doubted that everyone who left the platform was absolutely correct to do so

- I hope Braun is crying
