@lzg the impression I get is wanting to make the world one big festival through playing around with bodies, and exploring the depths of the ocean or into space just happens to be part of that.

@owashii@plush.city now I’m thinking about this panel I attended at a comic convention years ago where the speaker explained everything was exciting in Golden Age comics because exclamation marks reproduced better in print on not great paper of the time, and writers were playing to that.

went quickly from music from Lawrence of Arabia to going fuck that noise, let's listen to oud stuff instead

Wow. I just watched someone who's clearly an expert rider and an expert swordsman admit that he has no earthly idea how to properly use a Zweihander. Mad props.

dear YT video, my impression of most Aussies is that they'd either be delighted to find out that an ancestor was a murderous bush ranger or surprised because they didn't think their families had left mainland China at that point in time.

Captain’s Log, Stardate 12.27.22. I have needed a nap for the last 16 hours and being around for this pluvial event makes me cranky and wanting a cup of tea.

Have you ever looked at GW Aeldari helmets and wondered whether the Exarchs have really developed their neck muscles over the long decades? Like I was looking at the striking scorpion exarch and thought to even move your head in that thing you’d need a neck like Henry Rollins’.

@kurgarru what’s the place? I’m fond of Chiang’s Gourmet which has a really solid deep fryer game.

@owashii@plush.city but you’re a plural system which means technically you’re Mark I-Mark III I think, like identifying tanks.

@SummerJackel @amagire so many borzois! How are you still sane?

Here’s a thing;

The late great Angus McBride did paintings for now OOP Concord Publications books - all topics like barbarians, Celts, ancient warfare, etc. Essentially gorgeous pictures with text most appropriate for an interested preteen, these would have been perfect for 8-10 year old me.

But! Pages with text have b/w cropped versions of the McBride paintings so you can see how he organized values which pushes these books from really nice, to true treasures.

@Chip_Unicorn thanks! She’s just nitpicky is all; I could make many more mistakes or none at all and she’d still be up in my business. Which I especially wish she wouldn’t do while I’m on the phone with customers!

I’m glad I have this job now that I know people *treating* me like I’m fucking stupid does not in fact *mean* I’m fucking stupid. That bumps “self worth fuxx0red for months” to merely “daily discomfort and wanting to quit,” so I wish my coworker would finally give it a rest.

Where is the horse and the rider, where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the horn and the hauberk and pale hair flowing?
Alas! Our voices are as quiet and meaningless as wind in dry grass
Or rats’ feet over broken glass in our dry cellar.

@rey the accursed wretched Grendel from the fens comes nightly to rend and tear proud warriors in their drinks beneath the once proud land-bow of this here meadhall

Thinking about Greek philosophers as recent generations. Socrates’ “suppose what you think about the world isn’t actually an unshakable objective reality” seems very 60s, and I’m not sure if Plato really maps to Gen X/Millenial experience, but “I’m a doggo, I live in a barrel hey! By your own definition this plucked chicken is a Real Man” feels very Zoomer somehow.

wanted to wish @jakebe a happy Kwanzaa since I remember him really liking the holiday! I spaced it the first night, sorry!
