This lunch box will last for 4 million years. It's kind of ironic. Don't you think?

But it sure is a big flag when they don't. Homo sapiens became human, when they domesticated dogs. That's not a joke. Roughly about that time, a lot of changes happened.

Call your senator and just breathe heavily into the phone. Do this every half hour. You do not need to put on pants to do this.

www.16bit.com updated! I got two toy reviews and some Joes to pre-order today.

Also don't forget onell.store put up an extraordinarily rare rerun pre-order for its new Pheyden Infinite (and friends) figures.

Hey, guys, so it turns out the Spinosaurus holotype wasn’t blown into oblivion, the Germans just sent it to Japan under the shroud of night! #paleosky

I let the other 50 blood and death curses on the family chew it into tiny pieces.

The entire Dark Phoenix saga. Honestly, most of the X-Men, and how John Byrne inserted Aunt Petunia age 20.

I can not list the amount of amazingly hazardous stuff we did making our own fun.

Finally! I’ve broken through the glass ceiling for old, white men hoping to work in animation.
Be sure to tune in. As I tell all my lovers, this might just be the best 20 seconds of your life.

I had no idea that there was an I Love Lucy comic strip and holy moly Bob Oksner’s art for it was some bulletproof cartooning. Gorgeous acting with a deceptively effortless-looking clean line.

Did you ever look at how the NYPD was founded? It might be a fun idea to do it again.

Fish Police. One episode if I recall correctly, John Ritter. The comic book was pretty good though.

Autism $peaks raised ~$34m in 2024 and spent 1% on family services and grants to help Autistic individuals. They spend approximately 25% of their budget on lobbying and another 25% on research (primarily on genetic testing and causation, i.e. eugenics). They aren’t trying to make our lives better.

Mattslew Batberg-Mothfit (any/all) @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social · 2d

Autism $peaks is the largest and most popular Autism organization (among allistics), who continues to be 100% in support of ABA. They have lobbyists who push ABA as the “gold standard Autism treatment.” It utilizes same practices as “conversion therapy,” which is currently banned in 28 countries.

Mattslew Batberg-Mothfit (any/all) @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social · 2d

ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is the “gold standard” of “treatment” for Autism, and was created by the person as “Conversion therapy” (see Lovaas) with similar techniques and goals. It’s torture that continues to have widespread support and acceptance.

Still looking for someone, haven't found a single person so far (that I can contact). I have a 46-episode script that I need translated. This would be a paid job!

Sena Bryer @senabryer.com · 12d

Completely unrelated to my 2am doomposting but does anyone know an English to Japanese translator, ideally with experience in screenplays?

PTerry references this, in Pyramids. It was a large frog, and got into the ducts, and kept everyone awake.

I had a few pieces. I'm not sure why, because there were... Options. I don't have them anymore.

By the way, MRIs are a wonderful way to find out if you actually do have metal pieces in you. Or where they were.

No, I'm pretty sure it is. Or at least it's better than, 'I once went headfirst through a rock wall. The wall had to be rebuilt.'
The doctor did not like that.
