Bring Me The Boss Hog

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the Samuel Alito theory of constitutional interpretation is, “if I want it, it’s constitutional. If I don’t want it, it’s not constitutional.” Now we just have to see how many fellow “Justices” agree with his powerful “analysis.”

I did a google search and it said that you invented death??? is this true?

It is true. 

Long ago, people lived forever, and when they were done with everything they had wanted to do, they would take a bus to Bognor Regis, on the English south coast, and sleep in small seaside bed and breakfast hotels. They would spend the days walking along the seafront, possibly crunching along the shingle. Hundreds of them to begin with, but eventually millions, and then millions of millions. Needless to say, Bognor Regis became uncomfortably crowded, and there was nowhere to buy an ice cream or even a postcard. All of the Bed and Breakfasts had “No Vacancies” signs up. 

I was only a boy, but I could see that this was untenable. “What if,” I suggested, “We make it so that instead of going to Bognor by bus, people who have finished just stop existing, and rot down. And what if we make it so it’s always been like this?”

“You are seven years old,” they said to me. “It will be many years before you take the bus to Bognor. Why do you let this bother you?”

“Because this is not tenable,” I told them. It was a big word I was proud of knowing and I used it whenever I could. “By that time the town will be so full that I will have to sleep on the pebbled beach at night, or even in the road. It will not be a good thing.”

I showed them my drawings, which included suggestions for how death would work, and stressed that for it to be successful it would also need to apply to everything else as well. Not just people.

“Even cats?” they asked.

“Even cats,” I told them.

“The cats won’t like that,” they said. But the cats thought it was going to be great, and explained to us that they had plans for the mice and the birds under the proposed system, and my invention caught on. These days almost nobody remembers what it was like before.

Also, there’s a character called Death in SANDMAN. I made her up, and Mike Dringenberg made up the way that she looks.

Fable, a book club app, just added TV Shows... so you can join TV Show Clubs.

Inventing, I think, Fandom for Normies.

Like if you didn't know there were already spaces you could go to to find people to scream about your blorbos with, you could use their app.

#Fable app

Extended the de-duplication of posts to mastodon threads and conversations (it only applied to goblin posts until now). This is how a ‘toot-storm’ looked before:

And this is how it looks now:

Fixed images not showing up in reblog trails when coming from outside goblin.

Added a new text style: Big:

Added 'human-readable’ urls for the posts: No longer https://goblin.band/notes/9sf708u0zvw8neq3, but https://goblin.band/@sesamenom/not-goblin-related-but-does-anyone-know-why

Listen it wasn’t the most baffling thing in the world when Netflix canceled Lockwood and co even tho it performed well bc let’s be real, Netflix will basically cancel a show if it breathes wrong…

But do you think that Netflix actually canceled Lockwood and co bc around the time it aired they’d aquired the rights to dead boy detectives (a show with a competingly similar premise to Lockwood and co that has Neil Gaiman attached who’s had two very successful shows in the last few years with Netflix and Amazon prime)… because I do.

Like to me that’s the missing puzzle piece of what happened there

“Yes, Trump is a former president. But, under the law, he is just an ordinary citizen at this point in time. Once the public fully realizes that the emperor has no clothes and that Trump is just a bombastic charlatan, then everything can turn against him very quickly. I don’t know what the Republican Party is going to do if he implodes over the next few months, which is what I believe will likely happen. They don’t have a plan B. The Republicans have put themselves in an untenable situation, politically and morally. They are in danger of becoming a permanent minority party for the next couple of decades, comprised of angry white folks seething in their own sense of victimhood.”

— “The alternate reality Trump lives in is crumbling” with first criminal trial: ex-federal prosecutor

sometimes I think the entire point of writing – of heartfelt, nuanced, fucking true writing – is that it allows the audience to point to a piece of art and say “that. that is how I felt. all those complex, jumbled, overlapping, contradictory emotions. that is how I felt to live it.”

the point of writing is to distill human emotion into something we can identify with, to use thousands of words (or 28 pages for one real-time scene that grabs you and doesn’t let go) to illustrate what a single-syllable word like ‘grief’ can never fully explain. and when it is done well, it is the single most human thing that humans ever can or ever will accomplish.

Everytime I see posts like this I get filled with such profound sadness

Cause you know who has the same brainrot as you? The same unhinged feelings as you after you've read the fic? The person who always wants to scream about the fic with you?

THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT

I never used to leave comments but since I got into the habit of commenting on everything i enjoy it's been incredible. Especially when the author gets back to me about it and we get to have a discussion of what other ideas they had. One writer replied to my comment with a 5 paragraph essay detailing the Floorplan of the building the characters lived in and it was incredible

Anyways this is all to say that if you find a fic that just makes you want to scream from the rooftops, leave a comment saying that to the author and maybe they will join you and you can scream incoherently together
