This is what elves looked like btw. The word “elf” comes from Proto-Indo-European *albʰós, which literally meant “white or pale person.”

@SandyofCthulhu It's a great one. Genuinely excellent twist when he climbs to the "tower" and is confused why he sees it's at ground-level.

@Jac5Connor That is either the first or second tale by Lovecraft I ever read. Close to my heart.

Here are three unusual Lovecraft tales: 1) grandpa had sex with a gorilla (Arthur Jermyn) 2) a man’s soul is transferred into a bluebottle fly. (Winged Death) 3) the fairies are mad about a building project (The Moon-Bog) And for a bonus, from Lovecraft’s best friend: 4) an experiment turns a scientist into a sea monster (The Man With A Thousand Legs)

People think the Cthulhu Mythos is all unfathomable cosmic madness born from shambling interdimensional deities of indescribable origin... But also, look over there in the corner. It's a guy that makes zombies with zombie science juice.

a random pynchon character
One of the best things that can happen to someone who loves movies is when you randomly put on a flick you never even heard about until yesterday without expecting much and it turns out to be incredible. My ★★★★½ review of The Friends of Eddie Coyle boxd.it/dzvcFr

Project Hail Mary has become the first film ever to premiere in the stratosphere. A custom IMAX display was sent to 110,000 ft to showcase footage from the film, playing it against the curvature of the Earth itself.

in spite of it all, god bless america only country where this is still possible and indeed the only place where it could ever have happened
Count Dankula@CountDankulaTV

The Afroman Trial. -Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons. -Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up. -No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman. -Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras. -Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives. -During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat. -The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation. -Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit. -Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them. -One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife. -As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE. -The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman. This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

@Jac5Connor Collateral was a revelation in every way to me, and I was disappointed when Cruise returned afterwards to playing mostly vanilla heroes.

@tenobrus @83dollaroring Goes along with my observation that a lot of jobs have nobody over 30 even around. I walk into a target or a restaurant and literally every single person working is in their 20's.

now this starts to feel like more interesting commentary to me. at white collar jobs there's a lot of implicit pressure to grow the fuck up, because you're exposed to peers who manifestly have their shit together. used to be lower class people would have a kid and community members would push them to get their shit together too. older coworkers even at dead end jobs, church and other local communities, etc. but if these days the 27 yo teenagers working retail aren't having kids and basically have no older peers with their shit together in any meaningful way, what incentive do they have to do anything but keep watching the same anime in discord calls? who are you feeling social pressure from?

@RamboVanHalen It's the theory that the news seems accurate until you read something about you or which you know well, and realize it's mostly bs

@RamboVanHalen 99% of the time he plays a version of himself. But when they let him unleash, it's truly something.
