I wonder if the reason Bon Jovi sang that "I Just Want To Live While I'm Alive" is because People Die When They Are Killed.

Inside you are two wolves. The radiologist who found them is very confused as for how they got there.

The existence of line dancing and square dancing implies the existence of cube dancing.

Possibly even higher-dimensional hypothetical forms of dancing such as the dreaded Tesseract Tango.

It occurs to me that I've not posted this on Tumblr, and this needs to be rectified. >>

Today's mental image that nobody needed: The cast of FFXV, but they're the Saja Boys from Kpop Demon Hunters.

Ridiculous realization of the now

In the third Star Trek Movie, "The Search for Spock", Captain Kirk and his crew commandeer a Klingon Bird-of-Prey following the destruction of the Enterprise. The very same Klingon Bird-of-Prey becomes utilised in the sequel, "The Voyage Home", to make a (patently nonsensical, but still delightful) time jump to 1986 in order to bring a pair of humpback whales to the 23rd century and save the world.

... But wait. The original commanding officer of that Klingon Bird of Prey, one Commander Kruge, was portrayed by Christopher Lloyd, famous for playing a certain eccentric genius who invented a certain time travelling vehicle in a certain iconic 1985 movie...

The practical upshot of which is that Kirk carjacked Doctor Emmet L. Brown and went Back to the Future.

Great Scott!

sometimes there’s videos that make me happy to exist on this planet

i’d reblog this even if it was a still image

I know it’s a sesame street clip but seriously, who is the target audience for this?

[cameoappearance]

Parents watching it with their kids, I guess?

[loreweaver]

literally everyone

Everyone. No, really… everyone.

For adults, the appeal is Sir Patrick Stewart doing a kid’s educational bit in full Shakespearean dress and style; there’s a delightful cognitive dissonance between the very serious presentation and the very simple content.

For very small children, it’s educational: this is the letter “B”; here’s how it’s shaped; here’s some words you know that start with it. Oh, and here’s a word you may not be familiar with that starts with it, so you can recognize that it’s the sound that matters, and not whatever other connection you made between the other two words.

For older kids: you’ve probably heard that “to be or not to be?” speech, or at least part of it, so you can enjoy some of the parody the adults are watching. Also, here’s how to describe how a letter is made - how to teach young siblings who don’t read yet, how to explain both the shape and the sound.

For kids with dyslexia: here’s how you differentiate a “B” from a P or D or E. You may have to go slowly and look carefully at the exact shapes that make up the whole, but there are differences and you can learn to recognize them. 

For teens or young college students: In addition to whichever parts of those are relevant to you, here’s what Shakespearean acting sounds like. Here’s how to enunciate clearly and slowly, so your audience can understand terms they may not recognize and still follow the gist of what you’re saying. If you’re reading Shakespeare in school, try sounding it out like this and see if that helps it make sense.

For new RenFaire workers: Here’s how to pronounce “zounds.”

One of the most glorious things in the world is Shakespearean actors doing stuff like this.

[meow-of-cathulhu]

He’s taking this performance as seriously as he does when he’s doing actual Shakespeare 🥺

This is how I learned to pronounce “zounds”

At the rate things are going with the gaming industry, I wouldn't be surprised if the next Eevee evolution they're going to introduce would require an evolution item that can only be bought off the eShop on a per-item basis.

And its name shall be Microtransacteon.

It suddenly occurs to me that Clive Rosfield is just an edgy Megaman.

Fights eikons, steals their powers, has a plot-significant brother, seven hells, he even has a dog.

Every once in a while you run into a ship that is so thoroughly jammed into a work in an incredibly forced way, serves absolutely no damned purpose and just gets in the way of the flow of the thing it's in, that it can only be described as an "Ever Given".

TIL there's a species of bacteria whose cells are large enough to be visible to the naked eye (with cells about 1-2 cm in length). It's a filament-shaped bacterium found growing underwater on detached red mangrove leaves in the Guadeloupe archipelago, and apparently its DNA is encapsulated in something that's kind of like a nucleus, but isn't. The thing was thought to be a fungus when it was first discovered, and it took them a few years to realize what the frell they're actually looking at.

Its name is Thiomargarita magnifica ('magnificent sulphur-pearl'), and as its name suggests, it's a sulphur oxidizing bacterium.

Whether or not it's wasting away again in Thiomargaritaville is a different question altogether, although it doesn't strike me as the sort of bacterium to be searching for its lost shaker of salt – mostly on account of not being a halophile.
