I completely forgot I started my Halloween playlist before leaving my office, and I came back to what I thought was eerie music playing in the middle of the Nambia Desert, because I still have that live feed on a separate tab.

Took me a second to realize it was LITERALLY the Halloween theme.

Me, when I see any body of water deeper than a pool that ISN'T a pool or hot tub.

Seriously. I played Subnautica once to prove to myself I could play that game, and all I managed to prove is that I cannot... because it took me AN HOUR just to leave the crashed ship. Too fuckin' scary. 😂

This is what Arachnophobia is doing to me, and you would think I would remember this for the next subsequent year.

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Murdoch (Dwight Schulz) tries to get B.A. Baracus (Mr. T) to respond to a flashlight and snapping fingers as the plane they're on takes off, but due to Baracus' fear of flying, no such luck.

That was all on Moscow Mitch, too. As soon as he realized a camera was there, he ripped his hand away FAST.

TIL - just now, in fact, that author Diane Duane, who wrote the greatest Star Trek novel ever published (yeah. Better than "Vendetta" and "Imazdi," I said it. Superb books; just not AS superb), follows me back here on Butterfly Hill.

😁

Honestly, even if the rest of the day is shit that's a WIN.

Hey, @optimstie.bsky.social, @ryanwritesgood.bsky.social... check this feed out. It is SO fucking calming, even just on in the background.

Will it cure our terrible anxiety and get rid of That Voice in our heads that's such a dick to us? No.

But it WILL tell That Voice to go STFU for a while. 😉

Yo. You stressed? Need something to just stare at and enjoy, something peaceful and serene?

I don't know why the algorithm suggested this, but hey... fuck yeah, I'll take it:

It's so FUN!

Like... Rodan is such a weird kaiju, because he IS legitimately dangerous... to humans and their structures, anyway... but at the same time he's also SO damn goofy, too! 😂

IT HAPPENED!

THE TIME FINALLY CAME!

I GET TO SHARE THIS!

I cannot believe this exists, that it took me so long to find it, and that it is clearly one THOUSAND percent in earnest:

And it's absolutely a non-zero percent chance this weirdo has asked his car, "Hey, Aura? Is it unethical to date your therapist if your therapist is the AI in your car?"

Interesting - and by "interesting" I mean "completely unsurprising" - that Mr. Divorced Therapy Avoider is also afraid to show his face, provide his age, or state an occupation that conveys any worthwhile skill.

They could do something of a compromise?

Make a Neelix Volume slider in the Sound Settings.

This is something Gearbox does with the robot Claptrap, who is scientifically proven in multiple galaxies to be "irritating af" to 98% of all known lifeforms, real or fictional somehow.

Look, I'm just gonna say it: I never - even as a child in the 70's and 80's - thought Don Knotts was funny. AT ALL.

Maybe it's because of the AGS, which I hated and resented, maybe because I can't suffer bumbling, moronic fools even in fiction, maybe it's that his voice induces rage... I dunno.

We *used* to be Full Sized Candy House, but we may not be able to give out candy AT ALL this year. We're down to one income because of DOGE, and prices are through the fucking roof for EVERYTHING. We can't even get new decorations to replace worn/broken ones.

MAGA has ruined Halloween now, too.

Rachel Klein @racheleklein.bsky.social · 1d

Lotta “full-sized bar houses” gonna have to downgrade to fun-sized this year.
