we all know I have no life, so:

The photo focuses on Toby the tram engine pulling his coach Henrietta and van Elsie, along with a line of quarry wagons down the tramway road. His attention is directed to his guard, who hangs out of his cab ready to whistle and warn pedestrians of the incoming train.

Very happy with how this one turned out :)

Anno playing with his toys has been for the betterment of human culture for 40 years. Let my man play!

my low-level conspiracy theory is that there was (and maybe still is) a huge network of provocateurs that poison any discussion of MJ by name searching him. It happened like clockwork on Twitter and they’d all have the same list of rebuttals, excuses or degradations of the victims ready to go.

The Elvis movie completely glazed over his grooming and other major faults and people just went along with it as well. The Priscilla movie, which did engage with this stuff, barely got recognized.

I just want to say, by the way, that the Wikipedia pages about the MJ allegations are obviously controlled by stans

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

When I call penguins fans the “worst people alive” I’m not being hyperbolic.

what is the crime

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

There are absolutely “character actors” of fonts. It’s not that you know the name, but you know what they’ve been in.

Hartnell as Wonka is almost too perfect for casting.

“Society” is one of those films that could easily be updated for the modern day. The Epstein Class and tech bros are far more insidious than anything from 1980s Beverly Hills. Someone get Brian Yuzna on the phone!

all I'll say about bluesky falling apart at the seems today is that there's only one AI you'll ever catch me relying on

It's perhaps worth stressing that, when Darren and I started work on what became the "azhdarchid terrestrial stalking" paper - Witton and Naish 2008 - two decades ago, the idea that pterosaurs spent a lot of time on the ground, let alone foraged terrestrially, was very controversial.

There's a reason why great comics have historically avoided punching down. Because it doesn't stay in the comedy club. It inevitable filters out into society to cause actual harm to the communities they're targeting.

"I can tell that the Woke 2™️ tide is rolling in and desperately need to try and cover up how aggressively transphobic I have been for most of a decade"

LPOTL is also doing Savile now! They’re already on part two.

LPOTL is also covering Savile! The show is so much better without Kissel dragging it down.

I admit I watched a few clips before the takedowns started and the full context was revealed, but it truly seems like some of the most impressive Western animation we’ve had in a hot fucking minute? Unbelievably gorgeous art design. Whole incident and Paramount’s bullshit sucks hard.

Congrats on 30 years of steamed hams, @thatbilloakley.bsky.social 🍔♨️
