people HAVE to accept that being in fandom is cringe. it will be viewed as cringe, and that is okay. embrace it. you cannot engage with media in good faith if you're in fandom space behaving cynically as if you're superior to the media and the creative community around it

A screencap of a PowerPoint slide. Most of the slide is taken up by a black and white image from Hitchcock’s The Birds (1963) feat. a well-dressed blond woman and two young girls running away from a swarm of attacking black birds. Icons representing various computer programs and web apps have been superimposed over the birds. GIRL 1: Why are there so many of them!!! GIRL 2: Help!! Where’s the information that I need??? WOMAN: Just keep running, children!

Was tapped to give an overview of some of the projects I’ve been working on during today’s all employee meeting. I declined to use the standard corporate PowerPoint template. Please enjoy my title slide.

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?

ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

Lynne Thigpen as "The Chief" from Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego

Lock the fuck in, Gumshoes. Carmen Sandiego stole a priceless wax pressing of "One of These Nights" by the Eagles. You've got to stop her before she travels back in time to 149 BC Carthage and trades it to Scipio Africanus the Younger for a kilo of the good shit.

do you ever wake up at 3am and think "shit that's a good idea, I better write that down so I can share it later on"

FRIENDS GOOD 😭.

WHY HAVE HINGES WHEN YOU CAN HAVE FEELINGS!!!!!

Cats having a romp this morning, running around the living room and uncovering toys previously lost to the Depths of the Couch. Normal stuff.

Hear a strange rattling sound that doesn't fit any known cat toy.

Look under the couch.

I gasped out loud and immediately turned the phone to make my partner look at Googoo, what a perfect creature!!!

“They had him TOO SWAGGED OUT” 😂😂😂 Thank you for this delightful gift

@akaharriet.bsky.social I have a problem and that problem is that I can’t stop thinking about Project Hail Mary, what do question??????

a hairless rat next to a tiny rainbow colored xylophone. The caption reads "Neil banging out the tunes, April 13, 2006"

Happy 20 years to Neil banging out the tunes 😌

Two mascots stand on a red carpet, in front of several other mascots. The left one has a miniature stadium on his head and is holding a staff; the right one has a gold hat, eyebrows under his wandering eyes, and a blue and white striped apron.

A pair of mascots from Saitama City:
Midoritaro has Saitama Football Stadium on his head, and Moukariyakko has googly eyes, an upside-down head, and a lucky gold hat.

god I WISH, unfortunately at least 50% of the freed-up processing power is allocated to getting songs stuck in your head and the other 50% is distributed via an unknowable algorithm on a day to day basis, but never to anything useful 😔

Thank you Artoo!!!

I mean there’s definitely that scene in the book where Rocky is telling Grace to stop trying to eat inorganic material, ie Grace’s attempts to find something edible about Eridian food, so 😂

HE IS RIVEN INDEED

Saw Project Hail Mary again but this time in IMAX (at the local science museum, which felt extra neat) and HEY. DID YOU KNOW. MOVIE GOOD.

We actually used to get Good Friday off as a standard holiday but a few years ago they turned it into a “floating” holiday you can use whenever. A lot of my coworkers do still take it off!

YOU'RE A ROCK STAR

I'm also just picturing you loading up the back of a minivan with bales of hay rn 😂

A yellow dragon mascot stands beside a treasure chest and juggles purple balls.

Hyoga is a juggling yellow dragon from Hamamatsu City. He is an evil dragon because he eats his roommate's ice cream without permission.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

(In fact it slaps both literally AND figuratively, as apparently they used a lot of body percussion sounds in the mix, which is rad.)

Great news gang the score is out now and it still fuckin’ SLAPS. youtu.be/oZvxyy68wFs?...
