DECKARD lights up.
"It seems you feel our work is not a benefit to the public."
"Replicants are like any other machine, they're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit it's not my problem."
"May I ask you a personal question?"
"Sure."
"What's 'cock vore'?"
DECKARD suddenly has a furious coughing fit.

*listening to the Bladerunner soundtrack*

Rutger Hauer (improvising): I've seen things you people couldn't imagine etc etc etc

me (quoting an obscure comic in my best Harrison Ford voice): So I guess aside from breaking my fingers and killing a bunch of people he was a pretty great guy.

One #drawing today, adventurers vs demon in a foggy grove of skulls!

UPDATE: which got me to Waits' "Dead and Lovely" and now I apparently am on Songs To Have On in the Background During Gangland Killings. "If I Didn't Care," "Stardust," "September Song," "A Kiss to Build a Dream On," etc.

went from Boney M's "Rasputin" to the opening to Hellboy (2004) to Tom Waits' "What's He Building?"

So for Halloween, Heidi Klum covered her body with sandtrout and became an immense omniscient human-worm hybrid, is that what I’m hearing?

The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins contains the inaccurate statement "he battled a troll!" while leaving out fairly key details of The Hobbit, like the entire Battle of Five Armies or anything around Erebor. Therefore, "in world" the singer is someone theoretically familiar with Bilbo's story but who was too bored to remember less exciting like "teased a dragon alone in the dark," "provided the detail that finally slew the dragon" or "wept for Thorin after a battle which proved friendship means more than greed."

Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrine Took. I might have known.

I went from "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" to "The Battle of Evermore," the first chords of which are pretty much the same progression as "Sodomy" from Meet the Feebles, so I had to listen to that too.

who is the man who would stick his neck out for his brother man

he's Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins
he's only three feet tall

who's the cat who won't cop out when there's danger all about

he's Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins
the bravest little hobbit of them all

"antisemites are getting emboldened [now]"

tell me you're not Jewish without telling me you're not Jewish.

okay, this singer's family is Indonesian. That explains why I can't place the ethnic features and I was thinking maybe Pinoy! Holy shit this is a good group.

oh hey my NAACP membership card showed up

filling out my ballot while listening to music from the Great Patriotic War as is appropriate for opposing Nazis.

let's work on figuring out my vote to some appropriate music!

It’s really weird how most of my thinking has moved beyond duality by necessity (I make mistakes but am not a terrible person; privilege is nuanced; people who sound attacking might not be; etc) but my take on politics has moved towards *more* absolute and dualistic (whether they’re locally Republicans, Tories or Likudniks, they’re the same complete shitheads).

THE FANTASY: I’m gonna learn Mandarin and talk fluently with native speakers, everything will work great!

MORE ACCURATE PREDICTION BASED ON RUSSIAN AND GERMAN: Native speakers will be amused, at least think I’m okay, but continue in English almost as good as mine if not better.

Today’s been busy. Here’s last night’s #drawing; an elf ranger uses Ghost Touch arrows to fight a grim non corporeal undead.
