Random thing I learned: China in WW2 didn't have much good steel. The Japanese were big on banzai charges with swords and bayonets. So, the Chinese army was issued swords and spears from the Quing dynasty. This when the war two decades before was defined by machine guns, poison gas, mortars etc

"I'm not a cynic!" Also me: "What if that useless Greenpeace banner above the Whitehouse was a Netflix ad?"

It's important to have a diverse political information diet. Apparently the social media algorithms have decided I need a balanced spiritual diet as well.

Thank you Extinct Zoo, for this very silly apex predator drawn by a 5-year old youtu.be/Uk8bM_ibZ0s?...

Battle rattle berserker furry (I spent way too long on this)

Pretty sure tech bros don't believe in consent, given how hard they're pushing AI in everything. Also reasonably sure they've just replaced my comma button with a fucking em dash to make AI tells less noticeable.

Look, I fully realize I'm well beyond the age demographic for Hot Topic. That's okay. I'm also hardly a gatekeeper- if you're into the wide range of Goth music But I do take issue with actively conflating #Goth and #Emo bands separated by decades. #gothsky 🖤🦇🖤🦇🖤🦇

Whenever I look into a bigger city's #goth scene, there's always a bearded guy in mismatched brocade and a kilt proclaiming himself a vampire prince and / or dom.

Siouxsie is consistently a hot, bad bitch, with killer style. But I love the frequency of this ick / pained smile face people have photographed over the years

As disgusting as removing a symbol of peace from American currency is, I have to say, it's at least accurate. And E PLURIBUS UNUM is a pretty apt slogan for fascism.

The millennial update to the Hemingway short story: "For sale: dog stairs, never used, $5 off."

I want to say it feels like we've circled back around to snake oil, but I know enough about American culture to know we've never changed

My favorite part of "Psycho Killer" [2026] was when the Canadian post-production couldn't hear their accent and the killer yells "GEYT OAT!"

I'm getting a lot more mileage than I thought I would out of this meme I made for a family group chat

Gavin Newsome is the Mitt Romney of the Democratic Party. Pictured here, throwing away the mobility aid of a homeless person.

Is Neil Gaiman a monster I'll be mad at for the rest of my days? Yes. Will I be happy all those days that I look like Morpheus when I throw a coat on in the middle of the night? Also, yes.

Trump is forcing those around him to wear shoes he picks out. I'm hoping this goes to the logical extreme. #justdoit

I think every time Harry Kim died, he had to build his stats back from zero toward that promotion. #startrek #voyager

The TOS aesthetic just looks... unfortunate with mustaches. Scotty has to reach the age of pappy-core to work the 'stache.

Gene Roddenberry would HATE Starfleet Academy. But only because of the ZIPPERS. (And maybe the lack of gratuitous sex) #startrek #starfleetacademy

The most baffling #horrorart I've ever seen by Emanuele Taglietti Tiddies: out Ass: wiped Grave: mass (and pissed on?)

"Hello Kitty finally stopped that annoying dinging sound in the car!"

Me explaining the Dune universe to my Tolkien friends at 4am

For that doubly nerdy slice of you that like Dune and Talking Heads

Now in meme form

Mfw someone asks if Killing Joke is MAGA

These two are gonna have beef. #STARTREK
