From the Hogfather "that's a sword, swords aren't safe for children" comic. A close up of Death, dressed as Santa Claus, takes up the left half of the frame. The text reads "That will be an important lesson"

My kid is 15 and I think of this meme pretty much every single day

A picture of a man wearing a helmet. A long and knotted white beard flows out from underneath. He wears a red shawl. The edges of a shield poke in from the bottom right. The text reads, in decending order, "Pick your battles. Pick fewer battles than that. Put some battles back. That's still too many battles."

Ludicrous speed, go!

A three-panel meme.
Top: Over-the shoulder shot of Gandalf stands at Bilbo's door. The text is Bilbo saying "No thank you. We don't want any more visitors, well-wishers, or distant relations"
Middle: A shot of Macho Man Randy Savage in Gandalf's hat, holding up a little cup of coffee creamer. The text reads "And what about the cream of the crop?"
Bottom: Back to the over-the-shoulder shot. Bilbo has thrown the door open and stands in the doorway with a big smile. The text reads "Macho-mandalf!"

From Burn After Reading, Brad Pitt in a closet has a shit-eating grin and is about to get blasted by George Clooney, as one does

"Huh, I wonder who Jerry O'Connell is married to, and like, that's it, that's the headline

A headline and subhead which reads:

Twinsies!

My results from the thing, showing that I too am akin to Zohran Mamdani

Rolling into the Costco an hour early like

From The Escapist, the Glorious PC Master Race. A man made out of circles and ovals with an incredible head of wind-blown hair.

Me, whenever I see a Savanah Bananas clip

Wherein Chris from the Family Guy has spraypainted on a brick wall "That's enough, John Mayer."

Palpatine's entire back story was already covered by the He-Man Christmas Special.

From the He-Man Christmas special, a downtrodden skeletor says "I don't like to feel good. I like to feel evil."

I am reminded of perhaps the greatest Tweet of all time:

a tweet from The Chicago Bears, which reads "That's more like it. Happy St. Patrick's day, Chicago!" over a picture of the Chicago river dyed orange.

This AI slop is on his campaign webpage

A screengrab of an AI slop image of Bob Cockey standing at a lectern in front of a crowd of Body Snatchers, several of whom are doing the prayerful hands outstretched thing. There are two flags in the background, neither of them quite right. Bob is looking off to stage left and waving at nothing in particular. None of this is real. This guy wants to run the county.

robertus@robertus· Jun 16

It boggles my mind that this person is running for office as a Democrat in the year of Our Lord two thousand and twenty six.

"This county was built by farmers, shopkeepers, hairdressers, everybody," Cockey said. "Politicians didn't build this country or this county. We need to get back to the center, not too far left, not too far right -- back to common sense, the center."

robertus@robertus· Jun 15

Like Ethan Hawke, Timothee Chalamet, and young Matt Damon climbed into that teleporter from The Fly

A screengrab showing a Uruguayan player, possibly Maxi Araujo but I didn't catch his name or number, because I am bad at screengrabs.

A tweet from Troy Johnson which reads:

You: "I'm only 35, I have my whole life ahead of me."

Sports Broadcaster: "Here comes the oldest player in the league. He's 32. A miracle."

This was my jam

Beneath a cloudy blue sky, an excavator sits unoccupied on a field of dirt. Much to my dismay, it is not in the act of excavating. It lies waiting.

Checkin in on Habs/Canes

The Onion "Sickos" guy in French, wearing a powdered wig and poofy shirt. His label reads "Pervers" and he is saying "Oui.. hon hon hon... oui!"

robertus@robertus· May 19

A tweet from Jon Bois, which reads "why watch overtime playoff hockey when you can simply snort cocaine and ride a motorcycle out of a helicopter"

robertus@robertus· May 16

A portrait of Willam the Conqueror. The text reads "Look at me. Look at me. I am the English now."

robertus@robertus· May 15

From The Lord of the Rings, the "Gondor Calls for Aid" scene, except Aragorn and Theoden have broccoli hair and sport crucifix earrings
Aragorn: Chat, the beacon notification just hit. Gondor's asking for a carry.
Theoden: Say less.

[Mickey Mouse voice]: Fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man.

The threshold to my crawlspace, with an assortment of catch-and-release and snap traps, aligned such that - one would think - our uninvited guests would likely cross at least one of 'em. There are a couple bins and bags of things too it's a crawlspace c'mon man Marie Kondo don't live here

It has been a long and injury-riddled road, but I put in a mile this morning for the first time in years so I got that going for me.

A panel from Achewood. On the left, a shirtless Ray towels himself off. Roast Beef reads a magazine in a chair.
Ray: Man, but does it suck to run a mile! Back me up, Beef!
Beef: It cold sucks to run a mile

A screenshot from my Garmin app, showing that I ran a smidge over 1.25 miles, at an average pace of 11:34 per mile, in a total time of 14 minutes and 33 seconds. I burned 187 total calories.
