My compass is proving useless in the spiral staircase of the sorcerer's tower, - one of his powerful enchantments no doubt

The cover of an issue of the pulp THRILLING WONDER STORIES. A Roman Legionnaire about to blast a gorilla with a ray gun in an alien arena while the woman clinging to him (blonde, of course) looks at us, the viewer.

Sometimes the pulps cut to the heart of the modern condition. What else is 21st century life, after all, but Roman Legionnaires with blasters fighting gorillas in an arena while the women clinging to them break the Fourth Wall by staring at the viewer?

tenchi masaki from tenchi muyo dressed in a grey schoolgirl uniform walks through a scifi scanner thingie

a computer screen showing his skeleton and a DNA strand, captioned dialog reads "everything looks okay"

the space cop or whatever says "but did you know your frame is very masculine?"

tenchi says "uh, i... have a father who's a man"

it's a pleasant surprise if you find a crossdressing character in a 90s anime and the joke being told is funny

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

Every lengthy write-up on "lessons learned" after someone lets an AI process delete their database or all their emails reads like this to me

I take comfort in knowing you're not long for this world.

bats are amazing

what gets me is how often the most followed and most liked reviewers are fucking stupid and their reviews suck shit

ME: 20 years ago we had No Child Left Behind. Now we have None Pizza Left Beef. Is this anything

MY FRIEND WHO LIVES IN A BUNK BED IN A GARAGE WITH ME: None pizza left beef was also 20 years ago

OWNER TEXTING US BOTH: Can you keep it down I'm recording ASMR

for those unfamiliar with the emojis the jo cox foundation were promoting that would supposedly solve rudeness online

ok lmao my first thought on seeing this was that this is from the same strain of pointless nonsense that led to those emojis to combat incivility online and what do you know "The initiative is supported by the Jo Cox Foundation’s More in Common Network" same guys

UI for reporting a profile, with “This user is a cisgender man” selected

We're back on Deep Space 9 today in a scene with Odo and Luaxana Troi (Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed). Luaxana is wearing bright red and has very blonde hair, all gussied up for something. Odo, famously smooth, is looking extra extra smooth here wearing a spicy light brown on darker brown little number. Screenshot one on Odo, caption reads,"Every 16 hours I turn into a liquid." Screenshot two on Luaxana, caption reads, "I can swim."

Alts in pic 1!

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're on the bridge of the Enterprise, point of view from the captains chair looking forward. Sulu is at his station just ahead and looking back at us if to say "are you seeing this shit?" Beyond Sulu is the main view screen, where Abraham Lincoln is pictured in a large chair with space behind him. Closed caption reads, "I AM ABRAHAM LINCOLN."
