How Amos 'n Andy and Sherlock Holmes are linked in a major lawsuit.

Why Sherlock Holmes showing emotions remained copyrighted when the character was already in the public domain

Why you don't give an author's kid approval of the dailies

Sorry, I should clarify.

Instead of saying "homoeroticism," I should have just said "canonically gay."

I found some pretty fascinating incidents of Conan Doyle heirs and others trying to stop Sherlock and Watson from being a canonically gay couple.

Sorry for the vague earlier post! <3

GodDAMN 🥵

Ever seen a poll result that is basically telling the pollsters themselves to go touch grass?

The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.

Correct.

When I say gamers treat you not buying the entertainment products they like with the exact same degree of pain like you chopped off one of their fingers, this is what I mean.

please?

Hey I won an upgrade to my train ride home and it comes with an itty-bitty toilet and a bed and what wait hang on we got nominated for a what—

the only picture you'll ever need when explaining "sea lions are what happened when bears decided they wanted to play in the ocean as a full time job"

Key evidence disappears from Tesla involved in bizarre crash The network card that stores and transmits crash data to Tesla's servers was physically removed from a Tesla Model Y involved in a violent 90 km/h crash in Bergen, Norway.

you might be surprised by how often Tesla's data recording systems randomly break, fail to function properly, go missing, or are otherwise mysteriously unable to perform their functions precisely when they are needed most

then again, you might not be surprised at all

Hades is actually the one of these that got me thinking about it, because his portolio is actually very easily grasped: the god of the Underworld means the god of all that is within, comes from, and goes deep into the ground. Miner of mines, digger of graves, hoarder and dispenser of wealth

Apollo is the Lightbringer: sunlight, yes, and music, but also knowledge, prophecy, healing -- and its opposite, the warm, burning glow of disease and fever

Poseidon is not only the God of the Sea, but more specifically the God of the Shaking Earth: his portfolio covers the world of the pounding waves, but also earthquakes and horses

This is why Greek mythos is off, Zeus shouldnt even have had time to be doing all that cavorting because of the constant stream of angry plaintiffs in his court, there's a reason why basically every human interaction with Indra is someone who had to go to his office to see him ,

This is where Hinduism actually cracked the code, yes the gods have portfolios but they also have overlaps and mediating fights over jurisdiction was basically Indra's full time job as king of the devas

I know this is a joke, but

This one was actually fine but this should be Bluesky’s motto

Monterey Park becomes the first city in California to ban "all data centers within city limits" Residents of the small enclave east of LA not only killed their city's proposed 250,000 square foot data center, they pushed city council to ban them altogether

Last night, after an hours-long public hearing, Monterey Park became the first city in California to pass an ordinance permanently banning data centers.

The city council voted unanimously to declare data centers a public nuisance, and to "prohibit all data centers within city limits."

Simple digital doodle of a little round pug with fairy wings.

It’s my birthday today. To celebrate, I am sending out the Great Fairy Pug to bring you good fortune and all the treats and naps you deserve.

I am endlessly grateful for the warmth, support, and inspiration I find in this art community every day. Thank you 💙

imagine writing about art in 2026 and still doing the "childish *entertainment* (🤮) such as cartoons and video games is a malignant tumor on society" followed by "wowww the BABIES have found this post wah wah wah" routine. i'm not even gonna tell you you're wrong, it's just, idk what to say

I find suspect anyone who criticizes cultural products thru such language of "children bad and stupid"

There is obviously space to engage à la Frankfurt School with popular culture and notice the cultural & political complexities w/i said product w/o denigrating the ppl who consume such products.

the era dominated by the colonial stiff upper lip has produced a lot of people who hate children because they are unavoidable reminders of how unnatural and inhuman their ideology is

Up until 1896, typhoid regularly killed more soldiers than combat did.

The Second Boer War was arguably the first war in human history where, due to vaccination, fewer soldiers died of diarrhea than from combat.

Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...
