Broke: "Meat is back on the menu."
Woke: "You’ll get bed and breakfast all right: more than you can stomach."
‘Hullo, Pippin!’ he said. ‘So you’ve come on this little expedition, too? Where do we get bed and breakfast?’ ‘Now then!’ said Ugluk. ‘None of that! Hold your tongues. No talk to one another. Any trouble will be reported at the other end, and He’ll know how to pay you. You’ll get bed and breakfast all right: more than you can stomach.’

I feel like "WHat you just have made here is a list of shit that is good," has potential as a new dril idiom.
Post on Threads by "jaicilgin": "The common vices of most men: • Alcohol. • Smoking. • Drugs. • Gambling. • Porn. • Designer clothes. • Junk food. • Video games. Learn to control your inner self. Otherwise they’ll be your downfall." Reply from dril: "WHat you just have made here is a list of shit that is good,"

Poem of the Day: "Rainbird" #poetry #poem #poemoftheday
Rainbird The bird escaped between my fingers, as they closed. A soft brush. If only I hadn’t tried to keep it contained, it might have stayed. I watched the plumage, red, green, and blue, rise until the colors merged. I could not keep watching without staring at the sun.

Poem of the Day: "Mindful Note" #poetry #poem #poemoftheday
Mindful Note I heard a sound cutting through my reverie. A single note clearing the cobwebs of my mind. And I found myself standing among the lights of the city blissfully awake, looking for the source, hearing only the roar of engines, the chatter of pedestrians, and the patter of rain. Only in my dreams did it sound again.

Meanwhile, on the SomethingAwful forums.
John Murdoch posted: "I got over my fear of wasting money on soap when I noticed jobs paid out hundreds of bucks and then soaps were an occasional :10bux:. Though I mainly stuck to specialty soaps. They also last a decent while if you tap spray instead of just going hog wild. Still, the economy was weird 'cause there were also so, so many inexplicably expensive skins to buy."

Poem of the Day: "Auburn Beast" #poetry #poem #poemoftheday
Auburn Beast Walking through the woods, I came upon a strange creature clad in auburn leaves like feathers. Body of an angry cat. What are you? I asked. A growling voice answered: I am the claws of fall, and it slashed my cheek letting in the cold. As I blinked against the pain, it ascended a tree, merging with the canopy. Soon the leaves fell at my feet.

Poem of the Day: "Ode to Caffeine" #poetry #poem #poemoftheday
Ode to Caffeine Black heat diffusing through veins as the sun rises. A frozen tableau animates. Would dawn have come without bitter awareness?

I'll need to see this before I pass judgment.
Article headline saying "“It’s been covered up with some kind of Celtic knot with a dog on it, because that’s far more in line with my opinions,” the embattled Democrat tells Vanity Fair in a wide-ranging interview."

I normally don't believe in mandela effects, but what the fuck is this shit? I've been a Donald Duck fan my entire life, and I've never heard of "Fauntleroy".

I'm currently making $300 / years in passive income from selling interactive fiction, and it's actually up 14% from last year, even though I haven't published anything since January 2021, and the only promotion is announcing sales! That's pretty neat.
Picture of Steam sales statistics, showing $310 of revenue in the preceding year, with $208 from the game "PataNoir" and $102 from "Death off the Cuff".

People forget that Bluesky was originally supposed to be a decentralized protocol for Twitter itself to use. Bsky.social was just the proof-of-concept trial.
Jack Dorsey tweet saying: "Twitter is funding a small independent team of up to five open source architects, engineers, and designers to develop an open and decentralized standard for social media. The goal is for Twitter to ultimately be a client of this standard." Jack Dorsey tweet saying: "Finally, new technologies have emerged to make a decentralized approach more viable. Blockchain points to a series of decentralized solutions for open and durable hosting, governance, and even monetization. Much work to be done, but the fundamentals are there." Jack Dorsey tweet saying: "Square is doing exactly this for bitcoin with @SqCrypto. For social media, we’d like this team to either find an existing decentralized standard they can help move forward, or failing that, create one from scratch. That’s the only direction we at Twitter, Inc. will provide." Jack Dorsey tweet saying "We’re calling this team @bluesky. Our CTO @ParagA will be running point to find a lead, who will then hire and direct the rest of the team. Please follow or DM @bluesky if you’re interested in learning more or joining! 🌐💬💙"

Someone on the SA forums suggested this should be called "The Bus That Could Not Halt, or Catch Fire."

One more time, because people are just not getting this. Sperm = The reproductive cells that exist within the ejaculate Semen = The fluid which contains sperm Cum = a Vulgar catch-all term that describes ejaculate in general and is demeaning to men

Reminder that Frankenstein's monster is canonically hot.
His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness;

On episode 6 of Galavant, and I wonder if the joke about King Richard doing découpage is a reference to Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, who is an accomplished découpage artist.

The first pic below is from Galavant, and the three others are actual découpages by Margrethe II.
