Considering that I couldn't say yes to any of the intoxication/drug questions, I think this is a respectable score

Pretty happy with dinner. Plus I have an excuse to use my spork.

So excited to start my friend @samanthatano.bsky.social's new book, Her Blood Runs Cold. A space western with a violent trans woman, a lovable robot, polyamory, and fighting evil corporate overlords. I just have to wait for Ringo to finish it first
Order it here or wherever you buy books

A redone version of every TNG episode from the point of view of Mot the barber. It's just various low level crew members talking about the wild shit Picard keeps getting them into, with occasional clips from the original episodes cut in.

He briefly tried to make Yoda a monkey! But the monkey wouldn't keep the mask on, so he called Jim Henson who recommended Frank Oz. This is the only surviving photo from the monkey test.

With alt-text. This is such beautiful writing and I wanted to make sure everyone could read it.
"You look at me sometimes." Five words, and in them we can see the entire soul of Phillip Seymour Hoffman's Scotty, a lonely, socially awkward young gay man (continued in alt text)
living on the margins of the 1970s California porn industry. Boogie Nights is a movie about trying again and again to spin the love you never got out of whole cloth, and when Scotty tries to explain why he thought Dirk might want to kiss him, that's all he has. A single thread of human connection so delicate, so insubstantial that the mere act of speaking it aloud destroys it. A spiderweb woven out of daydreams and blown to ribbons in an instant by a passing breeze. You look at me sometimes. Scotty's feelings for Dirk are never mentioned again, though he follows the other man through life like a puppy. That single exchange, that pitiful admission, locks Scotty into a holding pattern which lasts for years. Imagine how starved for touch, for affection, for love one would have to be to think another person's barest attention was a lifeline. Imagine the trauma that forged that brittle emotional withdrawal, the lifetime of rejection and abuse behind such a quiet, desperate ineptitude at human connection. In Hoffman's thick, trembling voice and gentle shrug we see immediately how ready Scotty was for Dirk's disinterest, how odious he considers his own affections. "Please," he begs, his voice breaking. "Can I kiss you on the mouth? Please let me." As though being kissed is something hateful. Scotty's cracked, trembling attempt at sounding casual makes it easy to see the quiet, chubby kid, the brutal parents, the long, slow retreat inward as every expression of self is met with rage and violent revulsion. You can see his boyhood room--bare walls, no door--and imagine the burning, white-hot agony of his first crush. His silence in the classroom, painful and humiliating. The contempt with which the other kids look at him. Fat. Stupid. Did he finish high school? I'd bet money he didn't. I think, like Dirk, he was thrown out like a rag used to wipe up something disgusting. It's there, if you listen. A whole life in those five infinitely fragile words. You look at me sometimes.

Orange font from the Mamdani campaign on a blue background with text: "If not for social media, you would be my concubines. That's right, you'd be used for sex and food. Mostly food." These are actual tweets from the guy who claims to have killed bin Laden, talking to some college aged boys.
