Hello, universe. You gonna be my bitch today. I'm alive and problematic! Let's get this bread.

Cowbirds (left) are brood parasites. Poor Yellowthroat.

Rory obtained several levels in badass when he became the Eternal Centurion to become probably my favorite companion in Doctor Who.

39, but yeah.

Yeah, this reminds me of grad school.

I wish I had this level of whiteboard skill.

It seems that the people of Ugarit were ancestors of the Phoenicians.

It's not eating them fast enough.

Coelophysis by Natalia Jagielska

Ah, convertitis.

Roy Chapman Andrews was one inspiration for Indiana Jones.

Probably my favorite part of the Gospel of Luke.

Also he said "I am." Pretty sure that's a pronoun.

True that.

Accurate.

I want to see the grimdark carebears.

So true with my "printer."

Accurate.

I don't recommend this spot.

Time. The great equalizer. Time crumbles things; everything grows old and is forgotten under the power of time.

Heyyyyyo

I should try this. My new Cpap face mask parts FINALLY arrived, and I slept well... until I woke up coughing because I forgot to add water to the humidifier portion.

The previous mask worked so poorly that I never bothered with it. Whoops.

Pippin tax!

Today's message from Pippin: (an exchange)

P: "Whatchoo thinkin' about?"
Me: "I forgot to make us coffee to have it ready for the morning."
P: "Inconceivable! Beeeeep. Whatdoin?"
Me: "... Making coffee?"
P: "Okay."

(I don't let him drink the coffee, though)

Rory lived all that time waiting for Amy. He burned away any fucks for anyone other than the people he loved. His face in this scene conveys that perfectly.

The whole “you’ll become more conservative as you get older” is based on two ideas. Fiscally, right-wing parties had the reputation of being good for people’s standard of living. This is no longer true. And it wouldn’t matter anyway, because these days nobody can afford assets they’d want to protect. “Eat the rich” is fine when you’re a poor student but less so when you *are* the rich. But that kind of nobility doesn’t happen nearly as much any more. 1/2

2 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

2/2 As for social conservatism, that’s not people moving to the right, that’s societal attitudes moving to the left and people not being engaged enough to keep up. My mum was very progressive in her day, but today comes off as mildly racist and homophobic. Her attitudes haven’t changed, but if you compare to social attitudes of even a couple of decades ago WRT things like race and sexuality to today then you can see how far things have progressed. That’s not people moving, it’s people not moving

Yep, i.e. the Overton Window. It's nice when it moves left. It's sad and scary when it moves to the right. =)

#4 Moffat was a helluva good individual show writer, but I really hated his showrunning. I gave it a few seasons, but faded away at the end of Matt Smith's run. The whole Pandorica thing was clumsily forwshadowed & felt a little forces when it came, but Rory's character evolution into The Last Centurion was much needed & 100% turned him from a somewhat lackluster and whiny sidekick (to a sidekick) into a standalone hero and companion who deserved to be there side-by-side with Amy and the Doctor.

I loved Moffat's writing of individual episodes and how the seasons seemed to have an overall plot. I'd take Moffat back any day over Chibnall. At least with Moffat, it was fun.

Once you have things to lose, the idea is that you don't want to lose them so you become conservative. But Millenials have so little of the wealth, that loads of us are ready to burn the system down.

It is a way for boomers to try to convince themselves and you that their catastrophic voting patterns in the 80’s were justified. They knew they were throwing away the rights their parents fought so desperately for. They knew they were stealing your future for lower fuel and luxury prices and, most important, lower taxes (taxes already lower than any other first world country). They didn’t care then and don’t want you mad now because people hate taking responsibility for their selfishness.

2 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 0

It’s tied to the “traditional” progression of becoming more wealthy as one gets older. And maybe that was true once. But what Boomers don’t get is their greed-driven choices have killed those traditional paths to wealth for younger generations and that shift to more conservative attitudes is not gonna happen.

2 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

It's supposed to be the latter, but the GOP thinks it should be the former and is holding onto even older positions and not shifting. And they wonder why their support is slipping. The Republicans should be about where the Democrats were about 20 years ago.

#5 aren't We conservative for our values? Maybe we have become, more conservative, but what conservative is is what has changed. If we create a truly accepting society with no racism or sexism. Will we not fight to preserve it? Will we then not become... the conservatives?

I guess you have to win as a young liberal to become an old conservative, if the dinosaurs keep stomping you as a young person then you grow to become an old liberal.

As a person living in the Norse region, naming your kid Torsten is like naming them Walter or Herbert. It's an old person name that just feels wrong on anyone below 60 years old.

If you are 42 you remember politicians warning your parents your entire life the policies being implemented were going to destroy the working class and boomers children and grandchildren. They overwhelmingly voted Regan twice and Bush Sr and various other trickle down policies for tax cuts anyways. Turns out a country can only steal from themselves for so long before there’s no more bottom to go. For America that was one generation.
