Breaded and fried some tofu, threw together sweet and sour sauce. CW food photo.

"the greatest knight who ever lived" okay yeah William Marshall is traditional BUT consider please Bertrand du Guesclin, and Jan Zizka, who successfully turned a peasant rabble into a force which fought and beat the cream of German (and further) knighthood - and did it while half, then fully blind.

Pepperidge Farm Cracker Trio? Oh you mean like the dudes sculpted on the side of Stone Mountain?

the holidays are here early, 'cause I realized "Horus Lupercal" has the same scansion as "Here Comes Santa Claus"

sunshine beatin' on the good times
moonlight racin' from the grave
string band playin' worn out honky-tonks
pretty young things goin' dancin' in the rain

hey darlin'! sleepin' on the blacktop
hey darlin'! runnin' through the trees, honey
hey darlin'! leavin' for the next town
less'n my sense catches up with me

high heeled lady spittin' at the nickerjacks
businessmen with a needle and a spoon
sure wish I had a pack of cigarettes
pack'a young girls goin' howlin' at the moon

broken glass and rusty nails
the wild violets grow
say goodbye to the railroad
the mad dogs of summer
and everything that I know
some men will do it for diamonds
some men will do it for gold
wounded but they just keep on climbin'
sleep by the side of the road
there's a hole and a ladder
a fence we can climb
mad as a hatter
you're thin as a dime!
go out to the meadow, the hills are a-green
sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream.

listenin' to "The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota" completely unironically because it's about a roadtrip

entres-nous, it's very true
the room temperature is higher than my IQ
but they like me more than Gerard Diepardieu!
How did this happen? I don't have a clue!

YT title "When Deer Were Giant (and Weird)" uhhh have you ever seen deer? They're just not as giant anymore.

I did something significantly adaptive and badass today, and I really hate how whenever I do adaptive badass stuff, I never come out on the other side as this competent ice-cold badass. I'm still this wuss who cries about cats and just wants to draw and read, only now I've also done [whatever].

Ever wonder about how Commissar Yarrick eats or wipes his ass? Like does he ever forget and accidentally stab himself while eating soup, does he have to explain “no, baby, the Ork Powerclaw stays on in bed, it’s my thing”?

it's raining in Seattle

chummer

I hereby coin the term “coproptocracy” as a portmanteau of “copro-“ and “kleptocracy” to describe this incoming Administration, but you’re welcome to use it, ain’t like I’m likely to last long living under it.

#drawings this Saturday partly influenced by the constant rain.

YouTube recommended a short about “why do Star Wars vehicles have legs?” so instead of being suckered into watching five minutes of YT shorts I got suckered into drawing a dumb cartoon instead.

do you think Warduke would win if he fought Death Dealer or would they just bro-bond over helmets

anyway here's some of what I was doing with my morning. #colored #drawings

I really hate it when people prove my worst assumptions. Right now I'm feeling like I should delete my Bluesky but eh, where else is there? Here is equally hostile, no way am I going back to X, and there's a good chance the reply I got (and the account it's from) is a bot or someone so innately sanctimonious and bigoted their opinion isn't worth consideration. So I'll probably keep it around.

Part of what interests me about zoology, archaeology, and old industrial stuff is; these animals, societies, and bits of tech are designed to do many of the same things we have, and maybe it's not as fast or efficient, but they do it pretty well. That's interesting of itself and a nice counter to this idea that what's being pushed now is better than anything before and you must run out and buy it if you've not got one already, sort of a capitalist rephrase of Victorian elitism.
