@CarlBovisNature @archer_rs Here is a pair of Bearded Male tits.

Listening (for about the 1,478th time) to 'The Fine Art of Surfacing,' by The Boomtown Rats.

There's not a bad song on it. Heck, not even a mediocre song. Every track is *at least* good, and at least 5 are GREAT.

Truly a Masterpiece.

@IronBullForge76 @ProvidenceBelis So, have you figured out your mistake yet?

[Eric Casteel @Kepler_PhD]

@BigHowie8 @TheDonStein "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -Arthur C. Clarke

Knowing the Minions, there will likely be a lesson there in the form of 'don't mess with big ugly tentacled things,' and they will come to regret it. Standard trope.

[Eric Casteel @Kepler_PhD]

@NFilosofas @TheDonStein Yeah, there is 'witchcraft in service to a larger story line' and then there is 'witchcraft being openly sold to young girls.' Disney's 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks' is an example of the former. This looks more like the 90s-style 'Charmed' kind of marketing to tween girls.

@TheDonStein @NintendoSteve Way back when she was still sane, @MZHemingway had a very good take on the HP universe. Essentially Tolkienesque, in that good and evil are real and definable concepts, and that good is obviously preferrable. There is also forgiveness and redemption.

What new DIsney?

@TovikkaX @visegrad24 The ‘Lion and Sun’ flag is in direct opposition to the Islamic Republic. The flag of the IR has what looks like an onion on it.

@ltrain15ml @lagerandgospel2 I’m not certain that all these 5 parties always stay distinct from one another. But historically, there was the Otten affair, which was related to (but distinct from) Seminex. There was the battle over Church Growth, and the Preus affair. And then there was Yankee stadium, 2001.

@Chris14421011 @MikeCarlton01 Oh, I see the problem here. You’re in Australia where everything is flip-flopped - summer is winter, spring is fall, the water spirals the wrong way in the sink, and left and right are reversed.

@TSHamiltonAstro @exjon Dang it, you beat me to it!

[Eric Casteel @Kepler_PhD]

THIS. IS. SO. BEAUTIFUL.

5:16 until Trophy Time for the Hurricanes.

@andrew_cottrell Um…the Canes are playing against a team whose primary color is Baby Poop Yellow and this is your take?

Hmmm… I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you’re color blind.

[Eric Casteel @Kepler_PhD]

@fedsurrection @NHL @Canes @GoldenKnights @Sportsnet @TVASports Sure…sure. Meanwhile McNabb deliberately stabs Ehlers in the face, but the Zebras who are allegedly favoring Carolina conveniently overlook it.

Sure. Sure.

#SoundtheSiren

[Eric Casteel @Kepler_PhD]

McNabb DELIBERATELY stabs Ehlers in the face with his stick. Should be at least a double minor, if not a game misconduct.

But no penalty is called at all.

Hey @NHL, retrain your frikkin’ Zebras.

[Eric Casteel @Kepler_PhD]

@fedsurrection @NHL @Canes @GoldenKnights @Sportsnet @TVASports This is so divorced from reality.

[Eric Casteel @Kepler_PhD]

@SlyM I’m a Gen-Xer, so this lingo is not in my comfort zone, but I think those pre-game theatrics are a perfect example of what kids these days call, ‘Cringe.’

So unbelievably stupid. But what do you expect of a town built on nothing but illusion?

[Eric Casteel @Kepler_PhD]

@stevecofield People in Vegas are too stupid to know that their Eiffel Tower is a copy, so no surprise.

[Eric Casteel @Kepler_PhD]

@Mikkeydizzle Haha. Brandon Bussi says, “Hold my beer, I’ve got to single-handedly shut down these Vegas stooges.”

@Canes #SoundtheSiren
@GoldenKnights #StanleyCupFinals

[Eric Casteel @Kepler_PhD]

@sandman9111971 @Canes And, of course, Vegas copied the siren, too.
