WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass

WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

Day four of The Migraine That Won't Fuck Off and today I am combining sumatriptan, ibuprofen and toast with Nutella.

Might make a cup of tea, too.

Results to follow.

Looking forward to Tgi Fridays becoming the next front of the culture wars tbh. Their potato skins are class.

going by the decor, is this not TGI Fridays?

Someone on Twitter posted a photo of themselves doing a happy dance as they receive a hot plate of fajitas. Then "Raw Egg Nationalist" on Twitter retweets them, writing: It's incredible that these people exist, but they really do. These are the people who justify the demographic replacement of Western countries in terms of the variety of street food and how many different kinds of fried-meat-and-vegetables in flatbread they can buy.

The opening cyberpunk credits of TRON Ares being set to this in full IMAX with ridiculous bass boost was so good it should be prescribed on the NHS for depression. youtu.be/f9D8gHY2OPE

Sources say she has become one of those people who recommends the Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobooks to everyone.

I totally agree. At first I was a little irked because many women have been shouting about this for decades but sometimes men do need to hear it from other men and it's good that it's being shared on TikTok rather than in dusty academic journals.

The nausea for this one has been brewing for at least four days and I could do with not feeling every inch of my intestine tbh.

If you get your kicks reading about fairy dicks I am just gonna be happy you read. I mean that as a writer and an ex-library worker.

These women (yeah it's mostly women) are going to keep publishing afloat in an increasingly hostile economic environment.

People dismissing the new wave of romantasy as fanfiction slop are the latest in a long line of "this style of writing/genre is corrupting the womenfolk/youth" pearl-clutchers. Congrats! You'd have complained about novels when they first came out!

The only slop we should worry about is AI slop.

Didn't realise that I've been cold for a while but finally caved and put the heating on for the first time this year and almost immediately dozed off.

I'm working from home. This is not optimal.

Truly excited to be teaching an online survey course in Greek literature this fall semester @NewCollegeofFL. Even more excited that it's open to the public. Please join in here! We'll be reading Homer, Aeschylus, Aristophanes, and lots more.

Apparently Jeff Bridges simply refused to play along and I love him for that.

Finding out that Jared Leto kept doing his method acting shit and insisted on staying in character on the set of Tron Ares and would only answer to the name of Ares is so funny, like making a big ass douche of yourself for the third Tron movie where you play “computer program that gains feelings”

Don't make me tap the Robert Pattinson quote, Leto.

“I always say about people who do method acting, you only ever see people do the method when they’re playing an assholes,” Pattinson said in an interiew with Variety in November. “You never see someone being lovely to everyone while they’re really deep in character.”

Anyway none of this will stop me going to metal shows you will have to physically restrain me and I cannot be contained in any way which is meaningful so enjoy the sight of me air-guitaring with my walking stick. I'm not going anywhere.

I take the pics because it's fun to make wee slideshows but this happens at every fucking gig and I'm so tired of disabled people being expected to police accessible areas. I've been physically attacked for asking a bloke to move out of the path of a wheelchair user.

If you don't laugh...

None of the people in that photo were disabled BTW. They said they had more right than disabled people to use the section because the record label said so.

They always fucking say that.

Allie Morgan @grumpwitch.bsky.social · 2d

More ironic because my other half actually does gig photography and we know the rules around this shit. Venues have every right to ban you for this but they don't communicate with each other so it's up to whatever security staff are on that day.
