I think everyone misread it and had this reaction when they re-read it, lmao.

Bruh, I had to do a double take when I saw this because I thought it said "Meryl Streep cast as Asian" and I was about to be like, "Oh god, here we go again..."
The #1 trending topic on Bluesky reads, "Meryl Streep cast as Aslan - Gerwig's rock-inspired Narnia film sparks debate over a woman voicing Aslan."

You know, I mock a lot of bad comments on my videos, but I want to give a genuine shout-out to a good comment I just got on my Anti-Rock Propaganda review, because this one actually made me laugh out loud.

Thank you for brightening my day, Chimino. 🏆
A comment from chiminosanchez1984 on my review of "Anti-Rock Propaganda Is Weird." The comment reads, "There is nothing to forgive, my son. What you do not know is that the on the third tablet that Moses dropped and broke was five more commandments. Number eleven was Thou shalt excuse me while I kiss the sky."

Pomni telling Jax, "I'm 25 years old" in The Amazing Digital Circus episode 5, "Untitled." Both Pomni and Jax are in film noir outfits and in black and white, albeit with color lighting around them.

More proof of my theory that "Bohemian Rhapsody" needs to be taught in schools SMH.

I'm not taking that bet because you just KNOW people are saying that. There are a lot of theories behind this album cover and the one for Live Scenes from New York by Dream Theater, which itself was released ON September 11, 2001, because apparently people have never heard of coincidences.
The original album cover for Live Scenes from New York (2001) by Dream Theater. The foreground depicts an apple in chains and on fire, as a callback to their album cover for Images and Words (1992). The New York City skyline is visible in the flames, with the Statue of Liberty and the Twin Towers being prominent. In the background is a collage of pictures of Dream Theater performing at the Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan.

25 years ago today, a great tragedy occurred in New York. It is a frankly unforgivable moment in history that will never be forgotten. I am talking, of course, about The Coup having to change the album cover for Party Music.
The original (rejected) album cover for Party Music (2001) by The Coup, which depicts band members Boots Riley and Pam the Funkstress destroying the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center using an electronic tuner as a detonator. This cover was made in June of 2001.

Look at this dumbass cat. She doesn't even know how to sit like a cat, lmao.
My cat Lulu sitting on the bed in a way I can only describe as being similar to the way a slob would sit on a couch while eating chips, legs spread, slumped back. She is licking her chest while seated.

I always felt Toph deserved one. Now I'm even more convinced, especially if it's her new design.

And I think the ghost of Gene Roddenberry might have a few words to say about that insignia.
A crop of the original image featuring the United States Space Force insignia, which looks suspiciously like that of Starfleet from Star Trek.

Today's featured picture on Wikipedia: The GOAT.
Today's featured picture: Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara; 5 September 1946 – 24 November 1991) was a British singer and songwriter who achieved global fame as the lead vocalist and pianist of the rock band Queen. Regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of rock music, he was known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal range. Mercury defied the conventions of a rock frontman with his theatrical style, influencing the artistic direction of Queen. Born in 1946 in Zanzibar to Parsi-Indian parents, Mercury attended British boarding schools in India from the age of eight and returned to Zanzibar after secondary school. In 1964, his family fled the Zanzibar Revolution, moving to Middlesex, England. Having previously studied and written music, he formed Queen in 1970 with guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. Mercury wrote numerous hits for Queen, including "Killer Queen", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Somebody to Love", "We Are the Champions", "Don't Stop Me Now" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". His charismatic stage performances often saw him interact with the audience, as displayed at the 1985 Live Aid concert. This photograph shows Mercury performing in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1977. Photograph credit: Carl Lender; restored by Lošmi [The photo shows Freddie Mercury singing while holding his microphone stand. He is wearing a leather jacket atop his black-and-white harlequin leotard.]

The fact that I'm somehow on both pro-A.I. and anti-A.I. lists. Like who the hell do I believe? 🤦‍♀️
A block list from 9021007.xyz that reads, "Posted, Re-Posted, or Linked to AI Slop Users who make or share AI slop, including people who mistakenly share it because they can’t tell the difference. Either way, it shows up in my feeds all the same. Begone. All members spotted by me first, then double checked by SightEngine or GPTZero. Appeal/Submit: Email aiblocks@9021007.xyz or DM" Two other lists I've been added to. The first is by the user antiantiai.bsky.social Anti "Anti-AI" Labeler that's called, "AI Haters Subscribes to anti-AI blocklists or otherwise seems poorly disposed for productive conversations." The second is from rcpinto.bsky.social Rafael Pinto and it's called, "Anti-AI AI haters / anti-ai. This is a semi-automated list: likers of handpicked anti-ai posts are automatically* added to it together with the posters themselves. If you think you were added by mistake, just contact me. * my followers and users followed by me are shielded from the automation."

I saw your post about this on Tumblr, and it's... frustrating. Especially since we've had Equal Earth projection maps in the United States for years now (I literally remember having them back in elementary school), so why SHOULDN'T the United Nations adopt it as the official one?

I tried it again with different questions and this time it said Maine up until I selected the final question, at which point it changed to Maryland. Which is... closer to where I'm actually from, I guess?
Another map that says, "You talk most like someone from Maryland — about 53% of your answers match a typical resident." The darkest red area is centralized on Maryland and Virginia.

...How the hell does it say Maine? I've never even been there, IIRC. XD
A dialect map of the United States with text that reads, You talk most like someone from Maine — about 55% of your answers match a typical resident." The darkest red area of the map is in and around Maine, with other pale red areas in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia (where I'm actually from).

So God bless and for all the Spiritual Snipers in the House 🏠👈😎👍 check out Unplugem and the song writers secret and check out The Reveal Report and John Todd Testamony Crazy Stuff there People his family brought Witchcraft to America and check out Doc Marquis on Satanic holidays his family were 7 generations deep in the Illuminati and check out They sold there Soals for Rock and Roll and Mark Devlin and The Sage of Quay on the Satanic music industry and check out Hells bells the Problem with Rock and Roll and check out Bill Cooper Mystery Babylon and Stranger than Fiction and Russ Dizdar on Spiritual warfare and check out My Church Blackpool Tabernacle Church Top Ministry so like and subscribe and get on the vibe of King Jesus 👈😎👍 and check out Testamonies of Hell 😈 Amen 🔥 Bible says to the Lost the Cross is folly but to us we know it's salvation, We all need saving from Hell and Jesus Christ is the only one who can grant that, This guy is gonna stand in front of a perfect God one day what's he gonna say?? I pray Salvation for him and I loose Angel's around you and bind them like Bodyguard's Ministering Angels Healing Angels and Waring Angels in Jesus Christ Mighty Name Amen 🔥 so God bless Jesus Christ is the only one who gets attacked 👈🤣👍💯🔥🔥 Proves" and I'm cutting it off here because this is somehow TOO LONG for the alt text.

Look how damn bright Venus is this evening!

That you can actually see it at all on my crappy phone camera is a testament to its brightness RN.
A wooded mountain with visible power lines and silhouettes of trees in the foreground. In the background is a tiny bright light resting over the horizon on a blue sky with pale orange-gray clouds. As the Grateful Dead put it, it's "The spiral light of Venus, rising first and shining best."

Check out this banging sunset I saw last Thursday!
The sun setting over some trees. There are gray clouds in front of it that disperse the light into a Jacob's ladder phenomenon.
