A comic of my current favorite tumblr post in existence.

Month: July 2014
as the next season of doctor who approaches its time for me to wrestle with the question
does my faith in peter capaldi outweigh my distrust of steven moffat

#Doctor Who #I’d be tempted to quit #but my mom’s definitely going to watch it #which makes it easy to just watch with her #and anyway I’ve watched worse stuff than S7 in the name of Knowing What People Are Talking About #and I doubt this season will be any worse #I have however explicitly asked that I *not* receive the DVD(s) as presents #because I know if I don’t say that Mom will default to giving them to me #(that’s why I own S6) #and I don’t want them #if she wants them she can ask for them herself #tag rambles
High Noon Over Camelot
People of Earth! THE MECHANISMS present their third studio album, HIGH NOON OVER CAMELOT. Gunslingers, lawmen and hellfire preachers draw iron on the burning metal deserts of Fort Galfridian. Sheriff Arthur and the Pendgragon Gang chase down the mad vision of Father Galahad, while Mordred and Gawain face off, surrounded by the ghoulish Saxons. Thanks to a magical sound engineer and some amazing supporters, HIGH NOON OVER CAMELOT is now live for your listening pleasure — stream, buy and pre-order CDs from HERE: http://themechanisms.bandcamp.com/album/high-noon-over-camelot
We hope you enjoy our tale of hope and despair — as the sun grows ever hotter…

#The Mechanisms #music #…wait #their *third* album #which means there was a second #hmm #interesting
I want to go to this exact point and run around it saying “I’m in Sweden!” I’m in Finland!” “I’m in Norway!” until I get tired
i aspire to great things in life
According to Google Maps, that point is in the middle of a small lake.
So we’ll do it in January when it’s frozen.
actually that’s why they’ve helpfully dropped a big-ass cement block with a bridge surrounding it in the middle of the lake: for the express purpose of doing what OP aspires to do
(It’s called Treriksröset, Treriksrøysa, or Kolmen valtakunnan rajapyykki, depending on which language you’re speaking.)

Look at Fifty Shades Of Grey’s knot.
Now look at my knot.
Now back at FSoG. Now back at me.
This is the knot your knot could look like if you bothered to ask actual BDSM players, or hell, even their YouTube channels, before making a movie supposedly about BDSM. I’m not a rope top and I did that one-handed.
I’m on a horse.
The thing where they justify abuse by saying “it’s BDSM, of course it’s sick and wrong” is still a bigger problem though.

#Fifty Shades of Grey #Old Spice Guy #the reactions to the new Fifty Shades trailer on my dash have been swinging between #’lol what crap’ #and #’oh god this shit has actually become popular what does that say about us’ #’it says that we as a society are awful people and we are continuing to perpetuate and reinforce our awfulness’ #sometimes in the same post #at least we have Old Spice Guy jokes to help us cover up the pain of our own terribleness
If “land whale” didn’t have the horrible connotations it would actually be pretty cool.
Hell yeah I’m a land whale! I am a vast, mysterious creature of the deep, and I have finally transcended the limits of my ocean home. I am bigger than Tyrannosaurus Rex; I am the largest animal ever to exist on this planet. My brain is the size of a one-year-old child; your entire body could fit inside my heart. I live for a hundred years and sing a song that carries for a thousand miles. And now the whole of the Earth, land and sea, is mine.
Because I am a land whale.

i can and will judge anyone who pays to see 50 shades of grey and is excited about it
Why? People got excited over Sharknado too. Bad movies can be fun.
As for people who are excited in a non-trainwreck-y way, I get the impression that most of them are people who never learned to access some of the more X-rated wonders of the Internet, either because they didn’t have a chance to get their how-do-computer phase over with while they were still in diapers, or because they lived and continue to live in subcultures where porn was prohibitively socially unacceptable, or both. (And really, if getting caught with porn (even by my friends) would make me a pariah, I probably wouldn’t take the risk either. Especially if I believed them when they said it was immoral, and I would have little reason not to.) They have consequently been porn-starved their entire lives, and are clinging in desperation to anything they can get. Such people may deserve our pity, and our aid if we can find ways of giving it to them, but not our mockery.

#Fifty Shades of Grey #pervocracy makes some good points about this
One of these days, Data…
Worf trolling: the Enterprise D version of the chicken run in “Rebel Without A Cause.”
Does he get bonus points for doing it while Worf is holding a large knife?

#Star Trek #TNG #anything that makes me laugh this much deserves a reblog
doodledeedoo let’s see if this fic is worth reading
yes
it has passed the ultimate test
WHY DID I NEVER THINK OF THIS?????
Warning: May not be applicable in Deep Space Nine fandom.
My first thought was “What have you got against the Prophets?”. Only then did I remember the whole eye thing.
(If only the use of “sex” to mean “vulva” were so easy to search for. I’ve been running into that a lot lately.)

#okay i love that data’s programming doesn’t allow him to store idioms as frozen phrases the way that humans do#which means he must process language as its root semantic meanings not as specific vocabulary#which suggests that data’s language center in his positronic brain always goes through a translation matrix#so english slash federation standard is not data’s ‘native language’ as his native language is raw android information#it’s also suggests something interesting about the weighted priority of english vocabulary in data’s translation matrix though#since he chooses ‘ignite’ instead of ‘burn’ and ‘petroleum’ instead of ‘oil’#’ignite’ instead of ‘burn’ suggests that english words with latinate roots as opposed to germanic roots#seem to be given more weight in the selection process#both ‘oil’ and ‘petroleum’ are latinate words but data’s program has selected the more subjectively formal of the two#uh i just fell down a rabbit hole that looks like the unholy love child of optimality theory and the oxford english dictionary help me#i’m gonna think on this more carry on nothing to see here#tl;dr: data is a computer mylittleredgirl none of this should be shocking yes ok
#i’m sorry you didn’t think you’d get away with those tags staying hidden did you? (via woodface)
KIND OF because I am a linguistics degree dropout and am not sure my linguistics thoughts are body-of-post worthy I mean I don’t even know what Noam Chomsky would have to say about any of this.
