are you nerds ready to see TOP SURGERY KIRK??

this is one of the more expensive cosplays i've seen but you really can't argue with the results

dire wolf drama has led me to learning that one of the most major anatomical differences between them and all living canids is that they had Massive Dick Bones indicating their swinger lifestyle

Oh yeah, one of my favorite thing at the tar pits museum was seeing one mounted with its baculum! you NEVER see that in museums, they usually don't mount specimens with it!

Seriously, the tar pits are the best thing in LA.

Prev, re: your tags…. I want to know about the mastodon having an existential crisis at the la brea tar pits

WHO thought it'd be a good idea to make a statue of a mastodon actively dying in tar while her mate and child look on

WHO thought it would be a good idea to give the baby this facial expression?

The male looks on, impassive. This is not the first wife he's lost to the tar pit, and she won't be the last. Such is the way of the tar.

But the baby???

This is his first encounter with death. Nothing is ever going to be the same again. He and his mother scream silently against the LA skyline. They've been screaming since 1968, and they will continue to scream until they decay into the tar, collapsing into their inevitable destiny.

Looked myself in the mirror today after tying my hair and realized I'm turning into the comic book guy from The Simpsons

After a minor crisis I came to the conclusion that that wasn't so bad because like

1- he owns his own business and makes enough money to sustain his collecting hobbies

2- the comic book guy from The Simpsons, but they're a little gender fucky, is exactly the kind of thing you freaks would be into

"the comic book guy from The Simpsons, but they're a little gender fucky, is exactly the kind of thing you freaks would be into"

You're not wrong.

"I miss 2D animation, 3D is so lifeless!"

No, no - from an avid and avowed lifelong 2D animation lover - what you miss is stylization.

Something animated to be "hyperrealist" isn't appealing to me anymore because it all starts to look very... samey. It'll age.

But if you have a proper sense of your style...

That poor pest control guy did not know what he was getting into, but given the state of my yard i feel like he should have known what he was getting into.

He was going door to door offering to spray the base of the house for pests for a discount rate because one of our neighbors signed up for pest control and he walked down my driveway (covered in spiderwebs), up onto my front porch (covered in spiderwebs), and knocked on my door (covered in spiderwebs) and said "hi, I'm John from the bug company, would you be interested in a discount service because it seems like you may have a spider problem."

And I said, "oh, no, I'm sorry, I won't be spraying for spiders, I like them. I want to encourage them."

And he gave me kind of a weird look and was like "why?" And I was honest and said that they were my pest control, they take care of my mosquitoes and and and flies, and then I kind of laughed and said that I should stop because I know way too much about spiders and if he let me go I'd talk his ear off.

And then he made his fatal mistake and asked what I knew about spiders, and if I knew what kinds of webs he'd walked past to get on the porch and what spiders were in my yard.

So then he got to hear my thoughts on brown vs black widows and why I wished there were as many black widows as there used to be but I had a big beautiful one under my patio table right now and even if I prefer black widows because they aren't invasive the same way that brown widows are i still like the brown widows and i had a lovely one who lived in my patio chair from August until the firestorm in January and she was so good and kept eating cockroaches and had made five big egg sacks and how I was so proud of her and I used to have a lot more orb weavers but their numbers never recovered after the tropical storm last year but I had a cute one on the shed that I took a picture of yesterday and of course there are tons of wolf spiders and jumping spiders and cellar spiders if you wanted to count them too and some false widows but I hadn't seen any of them this year and, well, yeah, anyway they're not actually dangerous mostly and widows want nothing to do with you but a bite wasn't pleasant but much better than a recluse bite but I almost never see recluses around here but i wouldn't, would I, because they're not called brown gregarious spiders, oh and there are black footed yellow sack spiders around and you don't want those to bite you but their little toes are so cute and I'm sorry, sorry, sorry like I said I can go off about spiders, but also I don't want to spray because I've got so many pollinators, I've got a whole wisteria vine full of carpenter bees, actually i saw a male valley carpenter bee last week, did you know they're golden and fuzzy? He was so cool! But, yes, sorry, I won't be spraying but thank you for asking, and I'm sorry I was the crazy spider lady at you!

poob is rolling back its DEI initiatives. poob fired all of its employees after they tried to unionize. poob's ceo was recently on david sperm's podcast saying that he thinks women are the same as dogs to him. but poob is the only service that has candyworld chronicles on it so its really hard to just stop using it :/

the most dangerous people you meet invariably think of themselves as honorable, ethical, uwu smol beans that wouldn't hurt a fly

“Oh how do you stay positive when the world is so awful how can you stay positive when our lives are falling apart-“ SPITE!!!!! ITS SPITE GODDAMN IT!!! REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE ANGRY AT THE WORLD AS A TEENAGER?? THAT KID WAS RIGHT AND YES IT FUCKING SUCKS AND NO, ITS NOT FAIR, SO YOU HAVE TO KEEP TRYING TO MAKE IT FAIR!!!!

So many Americans online don’t realize: We in Southeast Asia interact with working-class Americans far more than the rich ones. Why? Because our region is where poorer Americans actually come to work low-wage resort jobs, teach English, or retire on Social Security checks that don’t stretch at home. The ‘ugly American’ tourists? The military guys? The sexpats? Not exactly the 1% yacht crowd. But keep pretending your working class has no global footprint.

This is the thing about people claiming they don’t have the upper hand over the third world by sheer virtue of living in a first world country. at the most basic level your money is quite literally worth more than anyone in the third world. There’s a huge group of people whose entire “business model” or “retirement plan” is just moving to another country and utilizing the exchange rate in a way that at best makes them go from lower class to a high bracket and in worse cases has them start utilizing slave labor and exploiting locals for their benefit, which is easy for a westerner to do regardless of background

I survived the strongest earthquake Virginia's felt in over a hundred years

Here in Chile, we have earthquakes and tremors pretty much all the time, and we have the dubious honor of having two of the ten strongest earthquakes in recorded history. The last truly big one to our standards was in 2010, a 8.8 Richter Scale big boy. I lived through that one fighting for dear life for my glass novelty beer bottle collection from shattering on the floor with all the shaking. This one ranks 6th in the top ten strongest earthquakes in recorded history.

Way before I was born, in 1960, Chile had a 9.5 colossus which is the top 1 strongest earthquake in recorded history as far as I know, and our parents speak of it as if it was doomsday, very understandably so.

I lived through a 5.something in Oklahoma once and that, being actually kind of small as earthquakes go, was scary enough. I can't imagine living through something several points higher (especially since the Richter is a log scale so something from a six is ten times more powerful than a five and a seven is 100 times more, etc, etc).

it was not on wheat...

This is beautiful. I wasn’t expecting it to be a trans comic but I’m really glad it is 🤩
