Please enjoy this Maximum Sploot, very rare given her arthritis.

Patsy, a whiskery tuxedo cat, is lying full on her back with her front paws tucked up to her chest. One ear is under her head. She is looking upside down at the camera, desirous of attention. Her full secret white belly flash is on display. The carpet needs hoovering.

Six frames from The Hero Yoshihiko and the Demon King's Castle. A thief demonstrating his dangerous dagger.
"My knife, you see... is coated in poison. The smallest cut can be fatal. Take care. My knife... has quite a burn."
The thief licks the knife blade to look cool then realises what he has done.
"I shouldn't have licked it."
The thief is immediately dead in front of the heroes.

Case in point

Patsy, a whiskery tuxedo cat, is lying on her side on the floor in a dimly-lit landing. She is completely flat, limbs disorganised and stretched out. Her tongue is slightly stuck out.

Ha, this is in the text on the latest Instagram post. I feel like feedback is already being received.

You can pre-order these seekers over on Hasbro Pulse and they will ship fall off 2027.

A common question I get is if Sunstorm will ever get a Tetrajet release and I think we can make that happen in the future.

Quake and Quakeworld are the foundations nearly every modern game stands upon, but it does feel a bit like this

If your city had produced one of human civilisation’s most important cultural forces ever; a group of individuals who in their global significance almost transcended the bounds of the human; who became demi-gods, responsible for changing not only the sound of a planet’s music and the shape of its culture but the look and structure of its societies, then you could be forgiven for making a bit of a fuss about it. Yet you can’t help thinking that Liverpool does go on a bit about The Beatles.

I feel that you all ought to know that Patsy has temporarily forgotten about her tongue

A close-up on Patsy, a whiskery tuxedo cat, lying on her side with her paws tucked up. She is looking at the camera. The pink tip of her tongue is gently sticking out of her mouth.

Patsy, a whiskery tuxedo cat, is flopped on one side, sleeping uncurled. This is the coolest spot of floor in the house and she is taking full advantage.

This is just a harness. This is for when you want to go to That Particular Club and your assless chaps don't have enough pockets

A torso shot of a model wearing a silver mesh t-shirt and a silver puffer jacket. Over the top is a black pleather "Commodore Backpack Holster", which looks like some sort of fetishwear with pockets.

I thought this was the BBC doing a belated return to 3D TV, but no, somehow it's even stupider than that

what else

Splash page from Transformers UK comic story "Victory!" An action close-up on Grimlock slicing Megatron in half lengthways with his energy sword. Megatron is screaming "NEEEARRGH!" and there is a huge "SHAKKOOOSH" sound effect right down the page following the sword slash. The title is printed in huge type across the bottom.

The costume was previously less volcanic, so it's possible the Deathwingification of BalSac* was actually based on that warrior tier set. The influence of GWAR on WoW tier sets rather than the other way round is less up for debate * what a phrase

BalSac the Jaws of Death, lead vocalist of GWAR, playing the guitar against a cartoon mountain backdrop. He is dressed as a barbarian warrior with painted-on abs, some sort of animal pelt wrapped round his shoulders with huge spiked pauldrons. His horned helmet is shaped like a giant pair of metal jaws that encase his entire head.

I tried explaining this to Patsy, but she says that this "future" thing I keep talking about is made up and "consequences" are a human lie to save all the Lick-e-Lix for themselves

The photographer (in fetching khaki slacks) is lying on a grey couch with a desk in the background. Patsy, a whiskery tuxedo cat, is asleep on the couch by his knees. She has one paw tucked under her chin, and the delightful pink toebeans on her back paw are poking out from under her belly.

SOLD

The Henshin Hero is great for players who want to play an exciting and heroic type of character (who maybe ham it up a bit) and enjoy flashy gear.

Comfortable

Patsy, a whiskery tuxedo cat, is asleep on her side on the sofa, curled up into a ball with her front paws tucked up to her chest. One of her ears is under her head. The big white flash on her neck is on full display.

Here we go!

Panel from The Bash Street Kids, The Beano 4114. Smiffy is entering the classroom where Spotty is already sat at a desk, looking sad.

Smiffy: Hey, Spotty!

Spotty: Sigh... I'm fed up with being called Spotty. There's more to me than spots, you know!

Here, secret toebeans

A close-up photo of the belly of a black and white cat curled up on the sofa. Poking out from underneath her body are her feet, revealing delightful pink and black toebeans.

Counterpoint - Wallace and Gromit: Isolation. Obviously you play as Gromit.

Preston the Cyber-Dog from Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave. His final robot form, an obviously metallic dog with a huge studded collar and sharp metal jaws.

Please depict all minibots exactly as their toys rather than cartoon style ♥️

Image from Transformers book "Autobots Lightning Strike". Huffer, a blue and orange robot who turns into a small truck, operates a weird silver machine in a cave with his claw hands.

Closest he's ever gotten

Famous panel of Wolverine from The X-Men #132. Wolverine is in a sewer, having just pulled himself out of the water. He is holding a pipe with one hand and flexing his claws on the other. The sewer grate casts eerie shadows on his face.
He is saying "Okay, suckers, you've taken yer best shot! Now it's my turn!"

She quotes the tweet!

Excerpt from "Doppelganger" by Naomi Klein.

How much does this identity merger happen? Enough that there is a viral poem, first posted in October 2019, that invariably shows up in these moments, and that been shared many thousands of times:

If the Naomi be Klein
you’re doing just fine
If the Naomi be Wolf
Oh, buddy. Ooooof.

As in any doppelganger story, the confusion flows both ways. Wolf maintains a large and seemingly loyal following across several platforms, and occasionally I have noticed her correcting people, telling them that she is flattered, but no, she did not write The Shock Doctrine.

Ducky@ducklingsmith· Jun 2

Also not to forget, Naomi Klein wrote an entire book about people mixing her up with Naomi Wolf, and the conspiracy hole she fell down trying to work out who on earth this was

The cover of Doppelganger by Naomi Wolf, subtitled "A Trip into the Mirror World". Has an award for the Waterstones Women's Prize in Non-fiction 2024

Did someone mention ChatGPT

The appellant’s appeal submissions
[10] These require caution, the appellant having made submissions using ChatGPT, an artificial-intelligence database (see appellant’s supplementary submission). That may explain the generality of the submissions, which largely comprise free-form legal propositions with only limited link to the facts. It has served to complicate and obscure the true analysis of the issues. At least three of the cases cited appear to be non-existent.

Hey @visager.bsky.social check out Patsy

Patsy, a whiskery tuxedo cat with big yellow eyes and round ears, is sat on the floor next to the photographer, looking up at the camera and loudly expressing an opinion.

I quite enjoyed this

I get where you're going with this, truly I do, but actually what you'll end up with is a series about how much Gandalf fucks

A black and white photograph of a young Ian McKellen performing for the Royal Shakespeare Company in the early 1970s. His dark hair is bouffant and flowing. His expression is measured, lips are full. He is holding a missal of some sort, and wearing a large amulet on a chain beneath his rain jacket.

Two consecutive Tumblr replies from user theinfiknight:

Hang on I gotta google something real quick.

Ok this is funny.

Jake, I'm looking at the right edge of a Union Flag hung over the back of the chair. Why are there four red stripes on the right side?
