[translatingpoststogerman]

#das sind bibi und tina auf amadeus und sabrina #sie jagen im wind sie reiten geschwind #weil sie freunde sind #<- those tags needed to stay - thanks prev #bibi und tina #außerdem #könnte man mal überlegen #warum freunde in dem lied so gegendert ist - wahrscheinlich reimschema und so? oder bibi und tina beide heimlich trans Jungs?

Das hat mich schon als Kind gestört! Ich finde, wenn man wollte, könnte man auch "weil sie Freundinnen sind" ins Reimschema pressen.

Übrigens habe ich vorhin beim Einkaufen Bibi-und-Tina-Pizza gesehen:

In Herzform! Weil sie ein Ship sind! <3

God, remember how great December 2021 was?? We were people who knew things, who hid from people, who liked to go places, interact, certain clubs, fantasy, you got in there, the music owned you, like that house music, bomp-bomp-bomp-be-bomp boom boom boom, you know you started dancing.

And we were about to watch this movie:

I think people are a lot like Silent Titans. I think that’s why I love them. We are all these broken accretions of experiences we did not choose, gifted just enough agency to credibly hope that our futures are not overdetermined. The time it would take another person to sort, categorize, and fully understand the accumulated experiences that comprise us would itself be a human lifetime, so we have to settle for what we can see on the surface, and the pieces those people deem important enough, or we dig deep enough, to reveal.

-- Nice paragraph from a curiously interesting review of a table-top role playing game named Silent Titans (that i have no interest in as I do not play table-top role playing games).

So this past weekend my friend and I went to TCAF, we saw a ton of cool stuff but I also convinced them to go to the Arthur Conan Doyle Room with me at the Toronto Reference Library with me as I had been meaning to make the trip.

For any one who doesn't know the Arthur Conan Doyle Room is a massive collection of ACD, Sherlock Holmes, and related books (there are 25000+ books) located on the 5th floor of the library and completely open to the public. You can take items right off the shelf and read them. The library was pretty quiet that day so we had the whole collection to ourselves.

Part of the collection is in this wonderful little room. Themed after Holmes' study.

There's even a piece of the Reichenbach Falls.

Of course we have the "Watson going through it" Sidney Paget print.

When I was first told about the collection I was told to be on the look out for the copy of The Sexual Adventures of Sherlock Holmes they have, which we found on the shelf to the left of the fireplace. My friend was delighted to read a section of it out loud in that very echoey room for our amusement.

I found this Japanese language novel featuring what I can only describe as "Shonen Protagonist Sherlock Holmes" that I just needed to share with everyone.

We spent a good couple of hours looking through things, they have a lot of various editions of the canon in a number of different languages, as well as a ton of parodies, pastiches, and Holmes adjacent items. My friend and I are planning another visit later this summer as we barely scratched the surface of what the collection has.

So if you do find yourself downtown Toronto, I highly recommend stopping by.

When the military began blowing up boats, Monroe County, Florida, Sheriff Rick Ramsay was thrilled. His jurisdiction includes the Florida Keys, for centuries a smuggler’s playground. “This is war, and they are bringing death to the U.S. every time they get a boat here,” he said. “Every boat that doesn’t arrive will save U.S. lives.” The “kinetic strikes” haven’t stopped the flow of cocaine there, he said. “We see drugs floating up on a weekly basis,” he said. “Floating up on beaches, behind houses. … It’s continuing on strong.” Still, he said, they’re a “necessary evil.” “You don’t give up just because you’re losing the battle.” Based on pricing, there might, in fact, now be more cocaine circulating in the United States. In Florida, cocaine is sellingfor $13,000 to $15,000 per kilogram, a senior DEA official said, a drop of roughly 50 percent over the last five years. Global cocaine production, centered in Peru, Bolivia and particularly Colombia, has reached an all-time high, the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime reported last month. From 2014 to 2024, the office reported in its 2026 World Drug Report, the area under coca cultivation tripled to more than 1,480 square miles and illicit cocaine manufacture quadrupled to 4,100 tons. “The business is so extraordinarily profitable that the cartels do not mind paying freight costs that are five or even 10 times higher,” an Ecuadorian naval intelligence official said.

I can't sleep and I'm watching videos of the great John Cusack (and restylene?) promoting his new comic book over there at Comicon, and he started talking about how much he wanted to tell a story that involved Richard Nixon and Jackie Gleason seeing aliens. Which if you saw Disclosure Day, that's a minor, minor part of Disclosure Day, too.

I just never was interested enough in the ancient (and not very funny) TV sitcom the Honeymooners to know that its star met Alf in real life. I just ... I assume there's some true story that UFO people all know and if you say "Ralph Kramden" to them, their eyes light up, like a child. But my eyes stay dead, like an adult's because I don't... I don't know what happened. But also... I don't think I care.

Lucille Ball, I'd be like, "wait a minute, she met an alien and then produced Star Trek, that's interesting." I'd be interested if it was the lady from I Love Lucy. Certainly anyone on WKRP-- no brainer, especially Bailey Quarters-- I just like to think about Bailey Quarters, generally. Al Bundy, yes, Bud Bundy, sure, why not. Everyone on Barney Miller-- definitely. But Andy Griffith? I like his work, but I don't care if he met an alien. Don Knotts, though? Who wouldn't want to know if Don Knotts met an alien? Man, that'd be hilarious. George Burns, no, Gracie Allen, yes. I don't care if any of the Beverly Hillbillies met an alien; I strongly care if Dick Van Dyke met one but if he did, I think he'd have told us; Mary Tyler Moore, yes, Rhoda, no. All in the Family, nobody on there, RIP meathead. Bea Arthur, yes, Rue McClanahan, yes, but Betty White, entitled to her privacy; no opinion about Sophia.

Bill Cosby, it would be interesting, but on the other hand, we just know too much about him. His partner on I Spy, Robert Culp, though? Hell yeah, I want to know if Robert Culp met an alien, fucking yes, obviously. Bill Bixby? No. He starred in My Favorite Martian so I think that'd just be too corny if he met an alien, and I don't want to know about that... but Don Adams from Get Smart? Yes. Definitely John Astin, definitely Bob Newhart, anyone on Cheers and especially Harry Anderson (who played Harry the Hat on Cheers besides his work on Night Court, but I don't want to know if anyone else on Night Court met an alien, hard no to John Larroquette).

Mr. T? Yeah, man. Yes to Mr. T. Come on, that's not even a serious question... Come on. You don't see Steven Spielberg or John Cusack asking that question. They got class. Look at you. Like school on Saturday. No class.
