I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone

Abcnews graphic: surreal moment as coyote drinks water from skylight window on top of Los Angeles hair salon

(Image of exactly that, except the framing is canted and as a result it looks like a coyote imprisoned in a glass square a la the phantom zone from Superman)

This is how I felt when I walked into a Florida tiki bar and it turned out to be Kokomo.

I generally have beer once a year and the effects are kind of disastrous, but check out this bottle design.

A bottle of Dai Dai Ale next to a glass of beer. The beer has a fetching orange tint. An adorable owl adorns the label on the bottle.

If you donated to Platner via ActBlue, you can get a refund!

Contact them NOW and ask for your money back!

I donated to his campaign. I was pissed off when it was revealed he worked as a merc, and debating what to do when the tattoo & queerphobic posts came out.

I contacted ActBlue, asked for it to be returned, got an acknowledgement of the return a few hours later; 2 days later it was in my account.

🚨Jane Schoenbrun is adapting BLACK HOLE for Netflix.🚨

Charles Burns’ cult graphic novel of teenage mutation, sex & rot in the suburbs — through the I Saw the TV Glow lens?! We’re not ready for this kind of beautiful sickness.

Netflix orders Jane Schoenbrun adaptation of Charles Burns’s Black Hole, direct to series

Netflix has ordered Jane Schoenbrun’s adaptation of Charles Burns’s Black Hole, in what promises to be a perfect collision of adolescent body horror and screen-age dysphoria.

It’s a camera! It’s a weapon! It’s a camera!

A Zenza Bronica ETRS camera sitting on a wooden box. It sits there, judging me.

Liquid Glass this, Tinted Mode that - just give me a version of iOS that looks like the original Games Centre design. I want my phone to look like an old-timey green felt tabletop with wood accents. I want a swinging saloon door animation every time I open an app.

Just the fact that we get the title screen somewhere around 15 hours into the game blows my mind.

If you're a troll, the return on investment for stirring up troll shit is infinite: Any reaction at all is a win.

And when the trolls are literally the government, then that reaction can in turn be weaponized with the full force of the federal apparatus.

Given his unjust banning, I am taking up Link's charge and doing Fund Me Fridays in his stead.

If you have funding needs, drop them in the thread below. I'll also be grabbing links that I've missed from previous threads and reposting them.

Today is a good day to meet some people's needs.
