Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

Everything Bojack and Hollyhock said about honeydew melon in the finale is urgently, vitally true. Why can't we have more incisive commentary like this on television? And more importantly, who the fuck are these people who get excited over honeydew and what can we do to legislate against them?

Oh god, I think I need a break from Season 4 of Bojack. I think I'm gonna watch some old Sally Struthers commercials about starving orphans or something to cheer myself up. 😭

A-ha! I thought that article sounded a little too pat-- though to my shame I did mostly buy it and spread the story as likely to be true.

So yeah, that Voynich "solution" was apparently overhyped.

A little something I ran across today: Dan Ackroyd threatening to mangle Nazis way back in '77. https://awoo.space/media/xVXpSpXChOCUH6AwM3M

It's my weekend, I just got a really good quarterly review from my boss-in-law, Peg's out of town at con and I have the apartment to myself, and I have a half-ounce of Atomic Blueberry. Here's my anticipated #moodsnapshot:

We should get like 20 of us together, go to the snootiest, trendiest, Eurotrashiest club in Seatte, and do The Fling to Tiesto or Davvincii or whoever the fuck.

This is pretty much what life at home with @egypturnash is like. https://awoo.space/media/Ko3OJjXSDMrJGmAk1AU

I read music just well enough to have taken SAN damage from this.

Oof. As predicted, I got not a damn thing done today. I'm at about a Mood 4.5/5, Brain 1.5/5, Energy 1/5.

I blame the wildfires and all the soot in my bloodstream: https://www.airnow.gov/index.cfm?action=airnow.local_city&cityid=258\

Granted, between being a stoner and living with a dragon, there's always a little bit of soot in my lungs, but this is ridiculous. Also, I may just like saying "soot."

(And a studio version with a little bit clearer lyrics and better opening bleeps imho : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQVCJ59Ed8k )

First they came for the nationalists, and I did not speak out!

Then they came for the capitalists, and I did not speak out!

Then they came for the worshippers of mighty Cynothoglys the Mortician God, and I did not speak out.

Then they came for me, and found only a mass of writhing organs, topped by one glowing eye! It cast a beam of primal rot, glistering, unholy with ultraviolet motes, and incinerated them! Ia! Ia! Cynothoglys ia vulgtlagln syha'h! Vulgtlagln n'ghft!

(and yes, I know the USA was capitalist for a lot more than 70 years--- was going somewhere with that timespan and ran outta characters :) )

I mean, I've been a radical leftist for about a quarter of a century now. I essentially went steady with Karl Marx's pet coyote for fifteen years. ( Miss you. <3 ) I remember when about a quarter of my friends were libertarians, because about half of nerds were libertarians. I remember getting mocked on Livejournal for proposing general strikes.

Now they're talking about basic income and LGBT rights in fuckin' Forbes. There is real positive change happening.

Yeah, but what if 2017 is basically like a gigantic sociocultural puke after our 70-year-long capitalism bender?

America was poisoned on its own junk long BEFORE all this. It just didn't give a fuck because it was still having a great time.

Now it's the morning after and it's finally staring into the mirror, feeling like shit as it so richly deserves to, and debating whether it's gonna finally get its shit together or cook up another spoonful of corruption.

Okay, folks. Top five alternate-universe Muppet Show guest host wish lists. Let's hear 'em.

Mine:
1. DEVO
2. Marlene Dietrich
3. Paul Lynde
4. Andy Warhol
5. Ralph Nader*

(*because the poor little nong was so inadvertently funny on SNL 1/15/77, wearing his little cowboy outfit and all... i am not kidding)

I'm surprised this dish hasn't had a revival. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate_gravy

Look at this lammergeier we found while doing Parallax design research.

Just look at it.

The Tick : Arthur :: Antifa : me

I am on your side 100%. You have stirred my heart in the battle against Evil and I am committed to the fight. I'm just a little nervous about the fact you want to go straight in through the wall, even as I slowly, dazedly gain faith in the unstoppable hardness of your heads. O_o
