Today we lost Walter Koenig. Some thoughts about a fine actor and genuinely nice guy....

perfect, no notes

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

This is scientifically accurate

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

Getting into the spirit of the season

Thirty years ago I was on a high-volume high-aggro mailing list, and when someone lost it like this the tradition was for someone to take the text of the message, alphabetize it, paste it into a reply, and say “these words didn’t appear to be in any particular order so I alphabetized them for you”

I will not be truly old until a marketing agency creates a TV ad for body wash using Moby's "Bodyrock"

After a hurried explanation, my daughter thinks Elizabeth Holmes is a vampire and keeps saying in a deep voice “I want your bloooood” which is I guess good enough?

literally this comic except he apparently lives in Czechia instead of Nebraska

Decided to try the North Atlantic cod filet sandwich from Culver's. Won't be doing that again. At least my drink stayed intact.

This feels right

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING is very divisive right now, but there's one trick it uses that even its most ardent haters would have to concede is very effective. Fielder displays his shots in rapid succession, 30+ per second, which makes it seem like Elizabeth Holmes and him are really moving on the screen

it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that

RIP BioWare

This is clearly a break from ancient tradition, since Pliny the Elder in his 'Natural History' 16.251.1 describes a druid as performing the ritual of oak and mistletoe wearing a white robe. What self-respecting druid would drink mistletoe elixir wearing a *brown* cloak? What a laughingstock.

At long last, we have created a way for you to take away Nikki's free will, from the classic horror movie "don't take away Nikki's free will"

Two steps away from my desk with my lunch and my foam cup just disintegrated in my grasp, vanilla Dr Pepper everywhere. How's *your* day going?

When I got into the office tonight, I was assaulted by this on the computer🤣😫😭

So many people advance voting. If only it inoculated me from political advertising for the rest of the term

Read this, it’s good.

@skwinnicki.bsky.social I know you're going through it right now and there's nothing I can do to help, but I saw this and thought of you and the effect you have on people, all the best

Kansas State University President Richard Linton has announced that he will be stepping down for a new role in Virginia.

Kansas State University's Arts & Sciences faculty and students are worried about a budget shortfall (along w/$13.5 million owed to the administration for past loans) and what it will mean -- possible layoffs, eliminating majors, etc. kansasreflector.com/2026/10/12/k...

If you’re wondering what the vibe is going into the midterms the New England fall fair I went to today had a crochet guillotine for sale.

I'm looking at this speech now, and that is absolutely not the fucking hero of Greek myth. The hero of Greek myth is almost always a dramatically tragic figure who is undone by their own character flaws. In fact, that's basically every single Greek hero. What the fuck are you talking about man.

This is so fucking cool -- a member of the @garbageday.email discord saved every meme they found funny from 2012ish to 2016ish. They just shared the drive containing over 8,000 memes and images. What an archival snapshot of a very specific time for meme culture! drive.google.com/drive/folder...
