Is this the job where you're woken by a ringing phone at 3am and it's Patrick Dorgu looking for a light switch?

In the US, it’s National Library Workers’ Day, and I would be remiss to let it pass without reminding you that the “library workers are magic” narrative leads bad places. Love, respect, and cherish them, but also pay them, staff libraries appropriately, and let them draw boundaries.

Well, I have to give the script writer props for using the exact same line I'd have written there. (And was going to comment with before playing the clip.)

At zero-dark-thirty
the slimebag slid up. Soldiers slept
instead of guarding the gabled pub—
well, except one. The whole world knew
the demon couldn’t drag him down
into the grave if God said no.
But he was awake, and wicked angry,
pissed but patient to settle the score.

Hey folks! Do any of you have any COUPLE/PAIRING drawings you've done based on my stock images you could share with me?

I need a few examples for a crowdfunder I'll be launching in a few months, and would love to add a few (with credit of course) if you have em

RFK Jr. is a guy who was meant to commit a series of themed animal crimes in Gotham City with the ultimate goal to “eat the Bat” before being subdued and returned to Arkham.

I think this has to be the Netherlands for me. The Japanese entry is well executed, but could do with an irrational winger to break the pattern. Kept thinking I'd like it more if they'd borrowed Animal from the Muppets to take over on drums.

Tough one. I like both, but neither tune really makes me sit up and take notice. Might go Switzerland based on the part of the lyrics I could understand being a bit more to my liking than the Qatari dito.

Pretty sure Shams Dinn is what Mick Jones wanted Big Audio Dynamite to sound like (complimentary). The vote goes for Os Mutantes' "the soundtrack of Barbarella but good" stylings, though.

I made some fake amber for Maskwitches, and since the sun was in evidence this evening, I photographed it in the dying light. I find this stuff weirdly moving. It's so precious, somehow.

Thank you, and I promise not to make a habit out of it.

At the risk of committing cultural appropriation, Jaysus!

That'd be bad if it'd been in a 1960s Beano.

It's not a pizza I'll order, but I feel for the people who won't experience what a great fit curry, banana, and pork is.

One (compound) word: Surströmming. Although pickled herring is a strong contender as well.

impossible to overstate how poisonous this shit is. dudes on the street smiling and waving at your toddler are an indicator of a happy and functional community

If JAG counts, I'd love to work on a TV-version of "The Phantom" - especially if it's based on the stuff produced in Sweden, but also one where a majority of the writers are from the continent where most of the stories are set (Africa).

The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!!

Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on!

I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT

One of the least fun moments of my life was seeing some people I thought of as friends trashing Uncanny winning a Hugo on social media hours after the win. This was as I was in a PICU with Caitlin, who had almost died two days before. Hot takes can wait.

Which makes it worth reminding people that you can sing the verses to the melody of "Deck the Halls."

Scritti Politti | Southbank Centre

I was going to mention that Scritti Politti will be playing the Queen Elizabeth Hall in July, but it pretty much sold out straight away. Anyway, Green and I just had a few pints and decided it would be great, so that’s decided. My teenage self would explode. www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/scr...

Honestly I'm kinda on the residents' side here

It's not that I have a problem with a Muppet 40K Army, it's just that the Miss Piggy unit would inevitably steamroller any opponents.

Congratulations and lyckönskningar.

Much like Miles, Thelma takes this for the way she evolved. Very encouraging first day, with no less than seven Golden Beat candidates already.

I'll go for the Scottish synthesizers, but Haïti shouldn't be too despondent - unless something comes up in Match 6, they're on for my extra time vote today.

Always want to vote for Bosnia, but Maya had a hard task to begin with simply based on genres, but sounding far too much like the stuff my neighbour who likes to park his car and crank the speakers to full blast beneath my window tends to play made it Sisyphean.
