the thing I love most about all the protest videos in ridiculous outfits and what not is that most of those outfits are worn and old. They're not new. No one is playing dress up, really. It appears to be just typical portland attire.

insouciant yet somehow belligerent Lee Pace as Day in season 3 is pretty fucking spectacular

I love lamb but my favorite thing about a lamb dinner is knowing I get to make lamb curry the next day with the leftovers.

I feel my whole life I have been trying to break free from cooking the traditional turkey for thanksgiving. Done duck, done silly mini hens the name I forget no it's cornish, all sorts of things. And in the end turkey just wore me down it's like fuck it there are other battles we'll have turkey

something I don't think republicans think about is how many john wick's they are creating every single day when they watch 13 year old kids get manhandlled and kidnapped by ICE. If anyone is radicalizing people, it's certainly not the democrats and it ain't antifa, it's MAGA doing the instigating

there should be a most kissable nose contest at dog shows

Cake or Death @johngcole.bsky.social · 11h

I know I will get a lot of flack and bestiality jokes at my expense, but damned if my gut reaction to pictures of some animals "I just want to give you a big kiss on the nose/lips"

my ability to get distracted in no time whatsoever should be studied. I can literally start to grind fresh pepper on pasta have a thought and the next thing i know a minute has passed and there is an inch of ground pepper piled up I need to scoop up and throw away

it's been my experience that traffic is a nightmare when it rains a little bit, much less like it is now. The toxic combination of native Arizonans who have no fucking clue how to drive in rain combined with the transplants who do and then throw in the usual 1-10 maniacs and it is a total custer

the brilliance of the show is that it is exactly what it sets out to be- a cheezy dumb show about a big guy who solves every problem with systematic violence. Which sounds awful except every single person he hurts is just scum and it is soooooo cathartic

10/10 want 5 more seasons

at any rate I hopped on here to say that the foundation series is some beautiful film making and I love the filters they use it just feels so big and futuristic and clear

@geniusbastard.bsky.social have you watched any?

This cat better be named Sir Wilford James Diabeetus the third

Tammi, yeah, that one. 2.1 @tammi.bsky.social · 1d

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

I was at the deli today qand this nice young lady between 21-40 I can't tell the difference said "your shoe is untied" and I said "I know but I am too stiff to bend over and there are no chairs" and she bent over and with one hand tied my shoe and I said "Kindergarten" and she said "first grade"
