starting the urban legend that Deforest Kelley came up with the name for seven year Vulcan itch because after all it makes sense that the cast’s southerner would describe feeling ridiculously passionate as “upon fire”

@ziphi so I looked for the serious answer because it is kinda a striking band name and;

The Machine is the keyboard player! Turns out when the two women started writing songs together as teens, their nicknames for each other were Isabella Machine and Florence Robot, which I think is ridiculously wholesome.

Dear coworker recently returned from Vegas could you please stop coughing or could you do it not right near my desk?

@chimerror reiterating here my opinion that the DARK HISTORY of the USA is ridiculously well documented and easily found with 5 minutes of Wikipedia browsing. Pre internet it might’ve taken several afternoons.

As usual if I look at anything where there could possibly be antisemitism there is, there’s no fucking consequences, and I come away from it HATING humanity.

As part of my job I’m dealing with a lot of BOLs going to a warehouse in Dacula, GA, and all I can think is “do people slam in the back of Dacula and/or are people from there sick of being asked if they slam in the back?”

@frost if you check your map; Washington Park winds up becoming the state beach closer to the water and you can literally walk all the way down the beach to the giant shopping center (or bike parallel)

@frost 51b used to run right there; you can do the Webster tunnel but it’s LOUD. It’s the other end of the island but the Park Street bridge might be easier to ride or walk a bike.

@frost Both the Alameda places are real close to the big park, the comics shop and Jazeera Halal Market. Caveat is Wescafe is near *enough* police routes that sometimes they'll go there; I've never seen one in Spritzer's.

@frost I'm really tempted to point you towards Philz in the city, which I haven't been to in ages. They're mellow enough that you can drink their coffee black and it's much more nuanced than just being really overroasted and bitter.

(Also point out Spritzer's Cafe and Wescafe on the island. Both used to be favorite hangouts, but their coffee's only good, not good enough you can do it without cream and sugar.)

this town is coming like a ghost town
all the clubs are being closed down
this place is coming like a ghost town
bands won't play no more
(too much fighting on the dance floor)

do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
we danced and sang as the music played in any boom town.

this town is coming like a ghost town
(why must the youth fight against themself?
government leaving the youth on the shelf!)
this place is coming like a ghost down
(No job to be found in this country)
can't go on no more
(people getting angry)

this town is coming like a ghost town.

this town is coming like a ghost town.

this town is coming like a ghost town.

Ran into CPTSD/depression stuff, but trying to push through by #drawing and listening to Garmarna

I made it through 30 minutes of Theodore Bikel singing Yiddish folk songs but can't listen to more without my arteries clogging from the schmaltz

Brits are pretty phlegmatic by comparison, let's listen to Steeleye Span

let's see, a song about a soldier dying too young

okay let's try Garmarna...

Hot take: Of Wolf and Man is NOT actually Metallica’s best song

Hot Take II: whether Master of Puppets or One is their best song is equally subjective since it’s basically whether you’re more about guitar or drums.

Oh shit I put on Metallica but I can’t really roll d6s at work! Online random number generator gets me 14, 09, 12, 11, 14, 08. Seems like pretty solidly fighter or pacifist cleric stats?

https://bsky.app/profile/picardsteacup.bsky.social/post/3k77xvq47jy2e apparently the worst filth of the Bay Area are having a public celebration of their newfound ability to harm sentient beings. In case anyone wanted to crash their little soiree.

My parasitology textbook in college was filled with stuff less harmful and more human than fucking landlords.

This isn’t truly a repost of last night’s #drawing as I’d made some edits.

you can’t use a sousaphone to make sous vide ANYTHING, how’s that even work?

CAUSE I CAN’T STAND ROCKIN’ WHILE I’M IN THIS PLACE
BECAUSE I FEEL DISGRACE
BECAUSE YOU’RE ALL IN MY FACE!
SO MAKE NO MISTAKES AND SWITCH UP MY CHANNEL!
I’M BUDDY RICH WHEN I FLY OFF THE HANDLE!
WHAT CAN IT BE, ITS A MIRAGE,
Y’SCHEMIN’ ON A THING THAT’S SABOTAGE!
