Bake the cake...


A lot of people are talking about turning the tables on the NRA boycotters by going to progressive bakeries and insisting they decorate cakes with pro-2nd messages. This is unlikely to work, since the sort of people who try to shut down Christian businesses for opposing gay marriage are unlikely to be able to run successful businesses themselves. You’d only be annoying people who aren’t really your enemies.

Fun to fantasize about, though…

“Hi, I’d like to order a special cake for a civil rights party.”

"Great! We'd love to have your business!"

“I want a big picture of an AR-15 with the words μολὼν λαβέ underneath.”

"You what now?"

“Yeah, and surround the AR-15 with rainbow sprinkles, because it’s a gay little poodle-shooter.”

There are still ~900 images in the leftovers folder, but I think it’s time to start coming up with some new themes, and maybe also move away from Gelbooru to Danbooru or Pixiv as my source. The downside is that I’ll have to sign up for them to get decent search capabilities, and of course rewrite my scripts, which currently do everything but fill in the headers.

Just how 'smart' is that TV?


Reading through the manual for an LG TV, I came across the following line in the notes:

When connecting via a wired LAN, it is recommended to use a CAT 7 cable.

This must be for the Skynet upgrade, so when your TV asks you to upgrade to a 10 gigabit switch and add multiple fiber drops to the house, just say “no”.

I figure it’ll start crying like a little girl when I plug it into the 5-year-old gigabit switch that connects to the 50Mb/s cable line through the house’s Cat 5 wiring.

Spoon!


The next six episodes of The Tick are up on Amazon.

Update

…and watched. Honestly, the only thing I was disappointed about was that when they used a bit of footage from the pilot, they didn’t fix the Tick suit. It really looks terrible compared to what they used for the rest of the series.

Back when the first half aired, it felt a bit unTicklike with its slow pace and in-depth character development, but it all paid off. Everyone got to be awesome.

I blame Ann Althouse


I don’t know how these things pop into my head, really I don’t.

🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶
Where have all the good trolls gone,
and where are all the frauds?
Where’s the foul-mouthed twitter-mob
that spits upon the Odds?

Won’t somebody white-knight
their own misogyny?
Late at night I go online
and I get all that I need.

I need a Tumblr!
I’m holding out for a Tumblr full of anger and spite!
It’s gotta be lame
and it’s gotta be woke
and it’s gotta be picking a fight!

I need a Tumblr!
I’m holding out for a Tumblr SJW insight!
Self-righteous for sure,
acting out like a loon,
and it’s got to be from a lowlife.
One with no life.

Dear Hello!Project Costume Designers,


I thought they’d banned you from participating in the girls’ bikini photo shoots, insisting on using trained professionals instead. Apparently I was wrong.
