Since I've picked up some new followers this weekend, I'll repeat my disclaimer: Just like on the other place, this is often my "old man yells at cloud" outlet where I am mildly aggrieved by something and don't have anyone to idly complain to. I'm much more pleasant than my timeline might suggest.

If the NFL decided to call just 10% of the penalties they throw a flag for this season (and really the last couple), it would still be a game-disrupting amount of penalties per matchup.

That Florida State - Stanford game had the most 4th quarter :00 clock I've seen in quite a while.

This season might legitimately kill Hugh Freeze. Every cutaway to him looks like he's being flayed above some open pit in some seldom uttered circle of hell.

Bonus pics from #NoKings today:

A protest sign reads "No (human) Kings (lions ok). It made me chuckle

A peaceful protester wearing a shirt in the style of "Run DMC" that instead reads "Fuck Ice" holds an ornate red white and blue sign featuring an upheld clenched fist with the word "RESIST!" emblazoned above.

Third set of pictures from the absolutely enthralling #NoKings series of protests throughout the country, these pictures from DC

Shot from behind many peaceful protesters with the US Capitol building out of focus in the background. Signs in the foreground read "trump lies while America dies" "Power to the People" and one just features a photo-realstic edit of trump in the style of a North Korean dictator

A large crowd of peaceful protesters hold signs, the centered sign reads "Stop trying to make Tyranny happen. It's not going to happen!" in reference to a quote from the movie Mean Girls. Another, held sideways shows a trump-esque cartoon head "Oligarchy in the front" is above it though we may never know what is in the back because it got cut off. Another One Piece flag flies in the background

Large groups of peaceful protesters converse and smile, most holding signs. One reads "No human is illegal" another holds a quote from George Orwells novel 1984 ("The party told you to reject...") The US Capitol building is framed in the background and a Stormtrooper from Star Wars is on the extreme left of frame

A closeup of a pink protest sign reads simply "RIF Vought" suggesting that the project 2025 architect should be the one fired instead of dedicated federal workers. Half of the US Capitol building dome is blurry in the background

Second set from today's peaceful #NoKings protest outside the US Capitol Building.

Crop of a picture from deep in the crowd of peaceful protesters where the US Capitol building dome is in center/focus with a protest sign in front that reads "trump is a Faux-King Joke!"

Many peaceful protesters stand cheering on the speakers, one holds a sign that features Bobby Hill from the show King of the Hill and an altered quote reading "That's my rights; I don't know you!"

Large swath of peaceful protesters enjoys a joke told by one of the speakers, many hold protest signs. The on in center of frame reads "This is so fucked up" another "Wake up maga you've been had!!!" and a flag from the series 'One Piece' flies on the right of frame

Peaceful protesters listening to the speakers; one holds a sign in front of the George Gordon Meade Memorial statue that reads "~The USA~ No Kings Since 1776" another reads "U.S. Troops used against civilians = Dictatorship. A man in a yellow chicken onesie is at the extreme left of frame

Protest day in America means protest photo series from me! First batch from down in DC at #NoKings where we tried but were unable to even get close to the stage due to the crowd density. #NoKingsDay

A mass of peaceful protesters stands facing the US Capitol building, listening to speakers. Many are holding American flags, one protest sign reads "It's not Halloween Unmask ICE"

After the speeches end, peaceful protesters exit to the left of frame. A protest sign featuring a nude caricature of trump reads "The Emperor has no Clothes" and is framed to eclipse the dome of the US Capitol building. Another protest sign in the foreground reads "Protesting is Patriotic" and one in the background features the symbol of the Rebel Alliance from Star Wars

Peaceful protesters dispersing after the speeches end, many hold American flags and signs, one centered in frame reads "FAKING, BILKING, STINKING, WANKING, SMIRKING, SQUAWKING, UNTHINKING, FUCKING, IDIOT" with an image of trump and each of the suffixes of the above highlighted to show "KING" in the same color as "IDIOT"

A peaceful protester wearing a large inflatable neon green dinosaur costume rushes to join other inflatables out of frame, the US Capitol building is featured in the background as many others look on in the middle

I've messed around with All Signs in SMO. but does anyone know/recommend any other Category extensions for fun??

Sisko stopping Bashir from absentmindedly skipping a rock across a sea of changelings is just the amount of comedic relief that season finale needed.

KFlo @kevinf311.bsky.social · 7d

Take every single one of those all-black uniforms out into the parking lot of northwest stadium and light them on fire. Then light the stadium on fire because it also sucks. But keep the team, because they're doing ok.

KFlo @kevinf311.bsky.social · 7d

Has anyone done a statistical analysis on how shitty Washington plays when they wear the all-black uniforms? My gut says they lose more in that uni than any other variant (well, at least using this team name lol)

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

We all like to dunk on the Tuvix episode (myself included) but Kate Mulgrew's performance is a master class in a leader absorbing their subordinates emotions and owning the outcome, all told throughout the episode and closing via predominately silent expression and body language.

Lwaxana Troi and Odo playing shape-shifter hide and seek might be one of the most wholesome things in DS9

I'd be remiss if I didn't also acknowledge the force of nature Tim Russ unleashes as post-mind-meld Tuvok throughout the rest of the episode. Building from the almost imperceptible tension in the ready room, like a storm crashing through to the final scenes. Good episode.

KFlo @kevinf311.bsky.social · 22d

Alright, another Brad Dourif appreciation post. In his initial Star Trek: Voyager episode as Lon Suder his interviews with Tuvok during the murder investigation are absolutely, wonderfully, unsettling. Cold, detached; the timing on line delivery is just exquisite. "...[looks up] No reason."
