Maybe her hand was sandy.

I bet she wrote really shitty poetry in middle school about the darkness under the bed being defeted by the light from under her door and being really adamant that everyone would love it if they’d just read it.
Wasn’t her husband though. “Boebert, 36, noted that she and her date, Quinn Gallagher, a 46-year-old reported Democrat and bar owner whose establishment has hosted drag shows, have decided not to see each other again.”

You other buzzers can’t deny…
I was being silly.
It leans a little more toward academic than some of the others here, and spans a broader time span, but History of The World p1 is pretty good.
You bastige. You fargin sneaky bastage. Why you miserable cork-soaker!
After the intervention, Jesus knew he had to give up wine but he had a solution.
No junk food, just earthly goods. I ate weird berries in the woods. Now I’m seeing colors; I’m getting higher. I think I’ll start a forest fire.
It’s been more books recently.
We just did Snowcrash, which has parts that aged poorly, but over all was a fun read. That leads to the old movie Pontypool (Snowcrash is in a shot in that that’s an obvious plant- both had similar themes). That lead to Pontypool Changes Everything a book that, try as I did, I could not get through. But the movie and BBC radio drama are both great.
We’re doing Ubik by Philip K Dick right now, and I’m enjoying that a lot. I’ve read a fair bit of his stuff but missed this one. I tend to binge authors so I imagine I’ll do a few more from him.
Late last year I did about everything from Scott Meyers. The Magic 2.0 books are deff for a younger audience but were fun in their own way.
I tried to do the Murderbot series recently, but it missed it’s mark with me. I didn’t not like them and I can see goung back to give them a second try maybe in the fall.
The Duck and Cover series was heavily thrown at me through ads so I gave that a go. It deff has its moments but I think there’s underlying difference of opinion between me and the author. I have no proof of this, it’s just kind of a feeling. Not bad books, funny and clever in spots.
John Scalzi and Dennis E. Taylor are two guys I get everything from as soon as something new drops.
And recently a buddy got me to watch Ravenous. An old cannibalistic, period piece in the Spanish American War era with a good dose of homoeroticisim thrown in. Deff highly recommend watching that.
I find they’re neither.
I grew up watching cartoons, and still do. I’m an avid scifi, horror, and speculative fiction reader/watcher. There absolutely should be animations geared toward adults.
I don’t like Rick and Morty. I think it’s dumb, self obsessed, drivel. I think it’s writing style is the literary equivalent of pumpkin spice latte. No one hurt me, I just don’t like it and I don’t understand why people do. I answered a question. I didn’t tell people to not watch it.
But all the trump fans aren’t paying any attention because she’s a tv personality and anyone on TV or in the movies shouldn’t talk politics, right?
Right?
Day Z with a friend till I hate everything about every thing. And therapy twice a month.
I admit I didn’t read the article throughly, but surely if it’s impossiblely thin it can’t exist. I only bring this up because I’m an obnoxious pedant.
Everyone on Rick and Morty.
All the quotes make these chucklefucks sound like 4th graders. "And the he did this and then he said this and then he said that and then I seen him do that and then he done this… "
What’s crazy is that a lot of niche hobby/lifestyle people found eachother anyway pre-internet. Shopping cart drag races, downhill shovel events, a lot of counter culture movements, early body modification, all manner of shit. People get into some seriously wierd/niche/one-off stuff and given a little time, they’ll find someone else that’s into the same thing. It’s like electrons in a post big-bang universe, they sort of attract each other. The internet has made it way easier for people to find their tribes, but they used to find them anyway.
