Curiously, the detection triggered a match against the FBI’s AFIS database, connecting GW250114 to a set of partial prints lifted from the scenes of five unsolved homicides committed in northwest Washington State between 1989 and 1992.

“I do not trust these gender-solids, Odo.”

You misunderstand; they sleep during the day. Nighttime is when they wake up.

“Wait a minute, Johnny - You’re telling me you got Money in this Pit?”

I haven’t seen it either but I assume I’m right.

this is why the bible contains no mention of jesus driving a car or reciting the alphabet backwards

actually, many scholars today believe jesus most likely was purple, as a result of the water in his body being transmuted into wine. this is why in modern catholic tradition, wine is used to represent the blood of christ.

You can certainly drop a minecart through an End portal, but the core problem I suspect you’re going to run into is that any time an entity enters the End, it clears out the 5x3x5 area above the spawn platform, so that’s all your rails gone. So while you can’t have it land directly on a track, you do have some workarounds:

• Add a passive iron and bamboo farm near your other farms and automatically manufacture chest minecarts on-site. Tedious to set up and it doesn’t actually recycle the minecarts, but of the available options it has the fewest points of failure.

• Build some complicated mechanism to manually assemble a rail system every time a minecart comes through the portal and then disassemble it after it leaves, and just hope it doesn’t get erased itself. Don’t do that one because it’s dumb and will break but it’s fun to think about.

• Use a water stream to push the minecart off the spawn platform and onto a rail; the water will get erased every time something passes through the portal, but if you put the water sources beside the spawn platform it’ll automatically refill itself. Probably the most reliable way to cycle minecarts, but you will have to turn your End spawn into a wading pool.

• Entities maintain momentum when passing through portals, so if you shoot the cart through the portal fast enough you may be able to just wing it directly onto a rail just off the spawn platform. It’d take a bit of aim to get the speed and trajectory lined up right, and even then minecart physics are inconsistent on a good day, but you won’t have to get your shoes wet.

Hey now, let’s be clear. Stephen King did not have the clown defeated by a bunch of outcast youths gangbanging in a sewer. That’s just patently incorrect. Every single part. No, he had the ancient terror disguised as a clown temporarily banished by summoning an ancient turtle from the dawn of time and engaging It in a battle of wills. Completely different and, in fact, perfectly reasonable. Anyone that’s actually read the book knows the outcast youth sewer gangbang happens after that and actually has no bearing on the plot whatsoever. Stephen King’s not some freak writing a book where the entire plot hinges on a bunch of traumatized kids screwing each other to save the world, no; he’s a perfectly normal guy writing about a bunch of traumatized kids screwing each other for no reason at all. Bet you feel real silly now, huh?

A while back I was trying to figure out what you call a place where butterflies are kept, in the way you’d keep fish in an aquarium, bees in an apiary, birds in an aviary, that sort of thing. I’d spent maybe half an hour going through different permutations of “lepidoptery” to little success; native Spanish speaker thought about it for ten seconds and pulled “mariposario” off the top of his head. I’ve only just now, in revisting the topic, discovered that it’s spelled “lepidopterarium” in English, which is - to put it bluntly - borderline unpronounceable.

Yeah, see, Don as Jabba I get. A little played out but I get it. And Putin holding his chain I get. Hell, you can even argue that Putin holding the chain he’s about to choke him out with makes sense… But those two images really don’t jive with the context of that scene. Putin’s not Trump’s prisoner and Leia’s not secretly manipulating Jabba. If it were Putin as Jabba and like, Zelensky in the bikini, maybe that makes sense. Helpless captive kills overzealous despot with the tools of his own oppression, sure. You keep Trump as Jabba, write “The American People” on Luke Skywalker and put, like, “Putin’s Agenda” on the Sarlacc pit, that makes sense. Hell, write “Epstein Blackmail” or some shit on that little gangplank they push Luke off of, just for fun. But when the fuck did Jabba ever care about the comparative strength of foreign governments? I mean, if you had to pick a Star Wars character to depict a rabid dog made a pawn in a game of geopolitical subterfuge with a false promise of power from a withered old goblin… You’re gonna pick Jabba?

Wow, right out the gate with the hard W, huh?

Ah, how one yearns for the days before that label was amended with “crudely machine-generated”

Best not to think about it.

don’t worry I got you

man, I hate that guy.

Hey, DS9 was visited by beings from another galaxy on no fewer than five occasions.

Now, was that galaxy just the Milky Way of an alternate universe? Maybe. I dare say irrelevant.

leave a path of destruction no man can explain. like the bermuda triangle.

Not long enough

Frame 1 takes place while Riker is watching a hologram recreation of himself murdering a man in cold blood. Frame 2 takes place just after it’s suggested that he committed said murder to cover up his attempted rape of the victim’s wife.
