- Comment on ‘Lower Decks’ Series Finale “The New Next Generation” Review, Plus Mike McMahan Interview 2 days ago:
Well, they have effectively compartmentalized the damage to canon with the rift stuff.
Without spoiling too much, let’s just say I agree with Cool Boimler on this one.
Still it’s a fun romp and I like the riffs and easter eggs. Give us more!
- Comment on Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich? 1 week ago:
I do not accept homework assignments at this time.
I’m too busy shitting on rich people.
- Comment on Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich? 1 week ago:
Because PSL does not seek to get people elected, I question their usefulness as a revolutionary force.
- Comment on Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich? 1 week ago:
Exactly!
- Comment on Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich? 1 week ago:
Then it’s a dumb revolution. No new human system can arise that doesn’t use remnants of the old. Observe the current revolution happening in the united states. The MAGA fuckers are putting their cronies into positions everywhere, with the clearly stated purpose of destroying our current system.
A revolution that envisions a clean start untainted by what came before is the revolution of a naive child.
- Comment on Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich? 1 week ago:
I have to agree I find PSL disappointing. In their long history they don’t seem to have put even a dog catcher into elected office.
- Comment on I live in the green part 2 weeks ago:
Colorado has a good set of policies that support consistent and long term public funding of outdoor recreation, such as trails and parks. The level of connectivity among local and regional trail systems is very good and always improving.
- Comment on DnD 2 weeks ago:
Lkke Kleenex and Xeroxes for tissues and photocopies, DnD is now the generic term for tabletop analog RPGs. All the wizards of the coast can suck on that fact.
- Comment on Neil Breen: how a filmmaker with no skill became a cult hero 3 weeks ago:
He has to show his ass to sell this movie!
- Comment on Give us your best infodump. 3 weeks ago:
It averages out to Charlie Day in Pacific Rim, combined with Charlie Day from It’s Always Sunny explaining his conspiracy.
- Comment on What are the best anti-work movies? 4 weeks ago:
Mr Waturi is the unsung hero of that film. As a supporting actor, he nailed the tone of the film by personifying the rank stupidity of corporate thinking.
He can definitely do the job.
- Comment on What do you create? 4 weeks ago:
Also a fair point. My devices did not need to last indefinitely and I found the gaffer tape to be very forgiving when prototyping, allowing removal and replacement as I worked out the kinks.
- Comment on What do you create? 4 weeks ago:
I’m living on an old farm with lots of junk.
So naturally I am building an 8 foot tall wind-driven kinetic sculpture of a Wendigo.
I bought a welder and a cutoff saw. All the materials are retrieved from the trash gully that every respectable high desert property must have.
It’s a form of cope and even ritual magic for me. Embody the spirit of hoarding and greed so it is vulnerable and can be imprisoned, that sort of vibe.
It will take all winter to finish it. The rebar armature is flexible and bobs in the wind. I will add sun bleached oak branches to give it flesh.
- Comment on What do you create? 4 weeks ago:
I recommend you try gaffer tape instead of duct tape.
Advantages:
- Remains flexible and removable forever.
- Looks nicer, a cool matte black or manynother colors.
Where I get off making this recommendation:
I needed a light-excluding bellows for a photographic project. I made one using black illustration stock and gaffer tape. It worked extremely well on the first version and held up to hundreds of cycles of extension/compression. My application was sensitive to pinhole light leakage and there was none.
It would have lasted longer but that was the end of that project.
My two cents. I love DIY stuff!

Woah there, Mr Deep! I see the way you are eye-banging that cephalopod.
- Comment on Do PhDs HAVE to use Dr? 1 month ago:
As a PhD holder who has worked in healthcare, I really couldn’t use the title doctor because the chance for confusion with a medical practitioner is too high. That’s fine by me, I only use the title on rare occasions such as when speaking publicly in my area of experience. Please just call me Meyotch.
- Comment on A national movement to organize Amazon takes off. 2 months ago:
Break them up and nationalize the parts. Give the cloud stuff to the library of congress, they can build a permanent digital archive. Give the delivery side to the USPS.

I know more than them.
- Comment on Love is love 2 months ago:
Tina Belcher is my spiritual guide on this issue. Nothing wrong with a little erotic friend-fiction becoming reality.
- Comment on Jean-Claude Van Damme: the muscles from Brussels five best movies 2 months ago:
Jean-Claude Van Johnson deserves to be on this list, perhaps as a sixth best-comeback honorable mention.

- Comment on Shitposting as public pedagogy 4 months ago:
“Building on this literature, I propose a definition of shitposting that embodies four distinct elements: a reliance on absurdity or “meaninglessness,” the critique or disruption of online discourses, the employment of an “internet ugly” aesthetic, and the use of meta-languaging”
Good lord, it took them forever to spit out a coherent definition!
Does this paper itself represent a form of academic shitposting? I mean, the subject is sound but the convoluted and discursive presentation is maddening.
But, yes, shitposting is worthy of significant further study and all grant applications in that area should be automatically approved.

- Comment on what is with child names like Aiden, Braiden etc? 4 months ago:
Meanwhile, in Utah, a pair of new parents are becoming really charmed by the idea of ‘Brexit’ as a name for their next child.
This has all happened before and it will all happen again.

It’s a sick pun on top of a technique that is also fsckin sick. Read it only if economical spatial imaging of gene expression in a whole tissue section series slightly arouses you.
- Comment on Oi bruv 8 months ago:
You live for these opportunities. The pay stinks, your parents don’t understand what you do for a ‘living’, but you got a sick pun in a Nature Group™️ publication.
Sweet.
