One of the better parts of The X-Files keeping its monster-of-the-week episodes and mythology episodes completely separate is that several of the monster-of-the-week episodes just have other aliens in them and it's never addressed. Like in the mytharc it's said that only the colonists and humans are left & the colonists have killed every other species but no. There's genderfluid Amish sex-murderer aliens, once. There's aliens who abduct animals to save their DNA from extinction and/or make them invisible, once. There's a ghost alien on Mars, once

Not only this, but some of the monster-of-the-week episodes have massively powerful international conspiracies that just... never seem to interact with or be part of the massively powerful conspiracy that the Cigarette Smoking Man is part of? They're just alongside it?

Some of them had powerful resources at their disposal! Once Mulder and Scully were dealing with dudes who controlled an entire array of orbital weapons satellites that could hit targets with energy weapons in very precise ways, and that was a one-and-done.

there’s an alien who is hiding on earth so he can play baseball

[lizardsfromspace]

Not only an alien hiding on Earth to play baseball, but an alien who is physically turned into a human being by his love of baseball

extremely funny when students get really into some harmless "vintage" activity to the point of absurdity. right now it's hacky sack, which is not something i ever thought i would see my students playing en masse. and yet here they are organizing competitive hacky sack teams. taking over any space they can to kick a hacky sack around. i had to chase a group to morning assembly today because they were busy playing hacky sack. just saw one of my students sending an email that said "stop adding randos to our team they're the worst sackers." 2026 year of the hacky sack ig

apparently stores are running out of hacky sacks. their voracity for hacky sack is outpacing the supply chain. beautiful hacky sack world

wait I have one more story. there's a group of anti-abortion protesters who often set up by the Ethiopian cafe I hang out in, and when I was waiting to cross one of them held up an aborted fetus sign and said "how does this make you feel?" and I said "hungry", and then I was so satisfied by my own cleverness that I missed the lights and stepped off the sidewalk into oncoming traffic

Found the source of the infographic that explains how the results were obtained!

[alexseanchai]

there’s sixteen Colorado counties that their most searched was “wolf furry”, plus thirty-odd counties (not counting either Arapahoe or any of the ones marked here as “Insufficient Data”) which may well have had plenty of searches for “wolf furry”, just fewer than for whatever they’re labeled here

and “skunk furry” searches in Arapahoe County outnumbered “wolf furry” searches in the entire state of Colorado

something tells me Skunks Georg

I was debating pre- and post- smartphone existentialism with an older gentleman today and he stopped part way through and said “Why are you a security guard? Why aren’t you teaching this at some college somewhere?” And I didn’t know what to say so I went with “Well I used to make art but nobody pays an artist”

[teaboot]

I want to invoke thought and wonder and introspection and encourage the passions of every soul I meet forever and ever and dig until I find the glorious potential for creation and experience and joy in every single one but unfortunately I must pay rent and so I stand, a meat shield, an NPC with unlockable dialogue

Things that society considers autism an excuse for

Nazi salutes

sexual assault

Things that society considers autism not an excuse for and things that people think children who do should be met with violence

using the wrong tone

showing too much or too little emotion

asking questions and having an authority figure take it as "arguing"

I must not fall victim to disgust. Disgust is the heart-killer. Disgust is the little-death that brings total apathy. I will face my disgust. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the disgust has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

But, Elon, solving child hunger is the obvious way to do that.
