Oh, I found the source for the Rakete Rinnzekete comic, cartoonist Tom Gauld:

@JulieSqveakaroo Kwii-ee!

meanwhile i am so obsessed with this poem that i am no foolin' going through my collection of J Dilla hiphop beats and pondering a recording of me reciting this over them

@lugh OMG, have you run into the story about musician/author George Melly and this piece yet? Apparently, he FENDED OFF TWO MUGGERS by reciting the Ursonate at them in a moment of panic and weirding the shit out of them. Chumbawumba wrote a song about it, "Ratatatay." The Ursonate might just be a genuine work of magic.

Cafe guy with suit and tie has gone bye-bye. I blame my eye. 😽​

OK, folks, looks like the Steam summer sale's on, and I have an important question:

How is Civ VI _really_? I see a huge amount of bumsore consumerist whinging in the negative Steam reviews, but I also see a few potentially valid complaints about the AI and the DLC.

What do you think, should I just stick with V, or is this just the usual "people hate it until the next Civ comes out and then it was perfect all along?"

@Leucrotta @LexYeen@snouts.online Heh. Maybe it's one of the many many many many local contractors Eric's daddy stiffed.

You came so close, Cafe Guy In Suit And Tie. After I glared bloody murder at you for taking your first, LOUD business call right next to me, you got up and moved for the second one. Five whole feet. But I'll accept incremental progress. I'll just glare bloody VICIOUS murder at you this time, and maybe next time you'll go the extra ten feet outside.

@LexYeen@snouts.online My personal take is "Yeah, 'cause the Patriots were nothing but polite and civil to the Tories during the American Revolu... oh, wait, no, tar and feathers. Read a fucking history book, Redhat."

Crappy ad-filled site warning. Skip to 2:13 or so if you're feeling impatient.

@lugh Brace yourself, I found the whole thing...

This is the only good poem. Fight me. 😼​

(I'm MOSTLY kidding.)

Here are two fragmentary performances of this beautiful monster:

I just gave Peggy a five minute lecture on the fact that money can be exchanged for goods and services (and thus she should follow up on her publishing offer and get Dawn back into print ASAP), with the help of my puppet friends Rubin and Mitzi.

So if I don't show up here ever again, check Peg's leavings for tiger bones. I think there's about a 50% chance she's gonna finally up and devour me, because Mitzi, Rubin, and I were really really really patronizing.

*unrepentant giggles* 😺​

@JulieSqveakaroo Um... no, honestly. But mostly because I got into punk fairly early. :) And because I've been reading up on the sort of racist shit that the FBI and CIA have been saying behind the scenes for decades as they've looked for excuses to fuck minorities and reformists over. :(

Not at all contradicting you, though, roo! <3 We are definitely approaching a Level Boss here. Trump's gonna morph at least twice more before he goes down, and he probably ain't even the final one. :(

@Balinares @acetone_kitten What, the coyote reek wasn't a tipoff? I can smell it all the way from Louisiana! ❤️​♠️​

@JulieSqveakaroo Yeah, well... roo, you're lucky you're made of rubber and thus qualify as "toy" instead of "food." *totally unscary rowr and maybe some batting 'round*

@JulieSqveakaroo Once the human race managed to generate a CUTE threat to its existence, they were pretty much screwed. 😺​

Just be patient until around 2260 AD or so. Things will get better! And, um, if you could freeze a few hundred vials of tiger DNA right about nowthen (what is it there, 2020 or so?), we willam-on-having-been so very grateful.

TBH this doesn't fit my relative chipperness today at all, but I have sure been big-mooding this song in general lately about Seattle, uspol, postfurry, and... associated topics. Especially that "waiting for the endgame" part.

Marigolds and tangerines,
I have dreamed an empty dream
I am slow and you are too, Someone tell me what to do

Lonely on a Wednesday
Lonely on a Friday
If I had to do it all again
I wouldn't

Throw it all away (x2)
I want a holiday (x2)

I'm tired of having no future
And I'm tired of pushing my luck
I'm tired of waiting for the endgame
Watching the stars turn black
