I really wish it were possible to note that somebody acted like a little shit without that being treated like a total absence of moral character, which then spawns a lot of responses about *not* lacking moral character, which distract from the original issue, which was acting like a little shit.

NURSE DANA: When a genie comes in like this, I always make sure to use my very first wish to free him.

NURSE DANA: What? Just apologize? For letting my patient down when he needed me most?

A new(ish) social media platform means getting to present various baubles from my past like some sort of resplendent and flirtatious bird. Here's a view of the Pacific from R/V Falkor's starboard porthole, taken on January 9th, 2017 during my time as the @schmidtocean.bsky.social Artist at Sea.

Hi Bluesky friends, I’m ShouXin (手訫). I love drawing cats with simple lines.
This is my first post here, and I’m sharing four of my classic pieces.
I hope they bring you a little joy, and I hope you enjoy them.

"After I spend 5 hours and 40 quarters playing 'Popeye' 'Q*Bert' and 'Pole Position' in the arcades, I split for home. And not to watch some dork show on TV either. I play more games.

"I've got the new Parker Brothers Arcade Series. They help sharpen my strategies. Plus I can play them with all my friends."

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

A poster illustration much like a book cover to the poem Ruslan and Ludmila by Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin. It’s a warm-paletted drawing of two figures. The figure in the front is a young woman with light skin and striking dark eyes and long reddish-blonde hair. She wears a jeweled headband and holds an irregular incurve chrysanthemum. The man in the background is a knight with white-blonde hair, a handlebar mustache, and pale blue eyes. He is dressed all in red and brandishes a sword. An eagle, appearing like a golden coat of arms, appears on his shoulder.

The pale-blonde shoulder rides a reddish horse over a field of spears and corpses beneath a soft orange evening sky while a falcon flies overhead. The bones and skulls lie amongst discarded armor and weapons, and elegant wild vegetation blooms all around them, overtaking them.

A knight dressed all in red atop a ruddy brown approaches a giant severed head appearing to grow out of the ground, its mustache and hair tangling into roots affixing it into the ground. The giant head appears to be wearing a giant horned helm.

Two images of the same young woman, evidently in some sequence. She is golden-blonde. In one image she is seated on a carpet amid a generous spread of delicious-looking fruits and wines nestled among serene wildflowers. Above her is a golden ornament. In another image she is looking at herself in a mirror, wearing a tall dark hat, apparently pilfered from a small goblin-looking man who appears stunned to see her wearing it.

Ngl, the reason I wanted to finally read Ruslan and Ludmila by Alexander Pushkin was because I wanted to know what the heck was going on in these Gennady Novozhilov illustrations. It did not disappoint.

Detailed watercolor painting of a Yellow-billed Magpie in flight on a background of yellow-green and tan. The bird's black-and-white flight feathers are fanned out, and its long iridescent tail flows behind it. The bird is looking back over its shoulder.

This was one of my favorite Monterey lifers.

We watched the first two episodes and it came across as very sweet, and there was no gratuitous violence. I loved it.

All about "reactionary centrism" Michael Hobbes joins me to diagnose the pundit class's obsession with scolding the left while the right burns down the house.

Today on Volts: I'm joined by the great @michaelhobbes.bsky.social to discuss "reactionary centrism," an intellectual tendency that's come to dominate US public life. You know the type: would never view themselves as conservative, yet finds voluntary pronoun use vastly more aggravating than fascism.
