I was trying to create a survey to see how many people cut things like celery, fabric, baguettes, lumber, and meat at a 45° angle across the grain, but I don't think there's a way to do it that isn't biased.

And look what's a few blocks away from the Baxter Building!

I think we'll meet Sentry, at least briefly, in FF before we meet Bob in Thunderbolts*.

Whew!

But then, for big reasons, he wiped himself from the memories of everyone on Earth, including himself. Cut to 2000! Bob starts to remember who he was! And as he does, his Watchtower reappears...on top of the Stark Tower!! Like, it's always been there and it just cloaked for decades!
(before, after)

"Bob" is Robert Reynolds, aka Sentry. Sentry was created in 2000, but written as a Superman-like hero who had been active in the Silver Age, best friends with Reed Richards, operating out of his Watchtower in Manhattan.

So we know from the Thunderbolts* trailer that 1) Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine now controls the former Avengers Tower and B) "Bob" is on that team.

Look, I'm no @eavoss.bsky.social, but I think I found something in the first couple of seconds of this FF trailer that just might qualify me as a New Rockstar. Buckle up!

If all you're here for is to constantly post about the horrible things someone is doing to make someplace else horrible, this place becomes horrible too.

We can make a better world, but we have to stop focusing so much on the things we don't want.

No but for real, remind me why we're giving Grimes a pass?

This is what I come here for. This is the stuff right here.

Same people who like to say that anything they believe is "just common sense".

Look, I'm not saying Elton John is old, but he remembers when rock was young. #GeologyJokes

Just typed out a 5-post thread, got a text notification, responded, and came back to nothing. Just gone. And Bluesky doesn't save drafts apparently. Booooooo.

In an effort to avoid a giant mind-consuming rabbit hole, I'm just going to fill this space with weird stories from my life, accompanied by (possibly) unrelated pics.

It's because you don't want to ask the real question: "Oh, so I can't treat other people like shit and still be thought of as a Good Person?"

🧵 4/4

This shift in focus takes attention away from the original issue by painting the situation as an attack on free thought, rather than dealing with the actual disagreement.

🧵 3/4

If I cut ties with you because I now realize that we disagree on something so fundamentally important, and you respond by avoiding the actual issue that we disagree on and portray yourself as a victim of unfairness, you're dodging the central issue.

🧵 2/4

To be clear, "Oh, so I'm not allowed to have a different opinion?" is a diversionary tactic. A red herring.

If I say X is a basic human right and you say it's not, then we disagree, obviously. There's no question about that.

🧵 1/4

Same! I look forward to seeing whatever it is!

post a non-religious photo you think of as holy

Absolutely! By the way, I'm a huge fan of your work, so while I have the chance, here's one for you too! 🫡

I love the fact that it looks like you're paying last respects at this allo's open casket funeral. Godspeed, BA2. May your eternal slumber be peaceful. 😂

I APOLOGIZED! I was raised to believe that sharing is caring and I thought I was doing a little good. I mean, not *little* little.

Also, too many of the rest of us assume that those other people learned, appreciated, and/or understood anything in those books in high school.

"So glad I don't have to deal with all those awful people from the other place. This is much nicer!"

::goes on to post 683 times per day about those awful people from the other place::

Hi! I don't think I've ever even heard these words before, let alone said them, but nevertheless... I'm in urgent need of someone who really knows their nautiloids! Would you mind messaging me? I swear it's about something awesome. Quite literally.

Post a photo of you from a different era !

Summer 2001, with Kirby, a kitten I had just rescued. I was blissfully unaware that within a few months I'd be fired for blowing the whistle on a predatory coworker (⭐️💵🧜🏻‍♀️) , spiraling into depression, and experiencing 9/11. That visor tho.

I'm going to further simplify it: Every transphobic argument can be ignored. Full stop. Do not engage. Do not share, amplify, platform, or otherwise give oxygen to their fire.

Just shaking my head at all the folks here who read this and thought "Oh! George Takei, a very intelligent, witty human, known for his clever wordplay, must have been lobotomized because he has no idea what the T in Low T stands for! I'll help him!"

That's the point, though. That's exactly what it's supposed to be.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc
