#Monsterdon 🦇 Detective is suspicious of Bat Science, not to mention Fancy Closet Bat. He might even have a clue.
#Monsterdon 🦇 That closet wouldn’t happen to be a belfry, would it?

@hellomiakoda@pdx.social @vicfroh@mastodon.social I, uh, may have discovered this fact inadvertently* as a child.
- Hey, I was genuinely curious!

@DeliaChristina@sfba.social @eldersea@expressional.social A whole bunch of billionaires are deeply upset that all their wealth can’t buy themselves renewed youth, let alone extended lifespan, and they are DEEPLY in denial, because they’ve always been able to buy what they wanted. 👹

@vicgrinberg@mastodon.social If I received that message I would print it out in large letters and post it over my desk!
Definitely support using positive feedback to keep yourself grounded, especially when in academia where criticism is the norm.

@FallsMom@mastodon.coffee @samlitzinger@journa.host Amusing to me that they thought that the Electoral College would keep the unqualified* out. 😭

@swan_tower@wandering.shop “The Lies We Conjure,” Sarah Henning. Just happened across it in the library. A gathering of witches, a couple of imposters, a murder or three…

@lerxst @NicolaElle @courtcan I remember the hostage crisis. That Fourth of July, I wandered around one of the innumerable entertainments & fireworks, and even as a kid I felt that there was something really ugly mixing in with the patriotic hoopla.

@libramoon@mastodon.social @QasimRashid@mastodon.social I just finished Iain M. Banks’ “The Player of Games” (2009) which features a person of the post-scarcity Culture encountering an imperial society whose entire sociological principle was “dominance.” At the end of the book I felt that the U.S., particularly the Epstein class, had been exposed in all their raw hideousness through the medium of fiction.

@Deglassco My family was friends with Anselme Remy, a Haitian scholar who worked to try to free Haiti from these pernicious U.S. interferences. We were close while he was in the U.S., but after he returned to Haiti, though we were in touch up to the events you described, since then it’s been hard to find out anything.

@petrabrandstrom@mastodon.art Oddly, the first thing I thought of was “fairy tales”. The bright young warrior in the foreground to me looks like the modern day rendition of fairy tales as encouraging and inspiring stories for children. The dark grim looming monsters, on the other hand, make me think of the much darker folktales that were the original fairy tales. An inspired child of the present ready to take on the looming monsters of the past.

@Pinchy63@ottawa.place @daycoder@toot.wales @greenpeace@mastodon.social Oh, it is. The U.S. regime (to whom I am a dissident) is fine with war crimes. (And has a long history of doing them, but seldom so publicly.)

@TarkabarkaHolgy I mean, I loved the Lokasenna because it’s basically a series of sick burns. 🔥

Masked bat shows up among diminishing pool of suspects. And sets a fire, because reasons. I suspect he isn’t the brightest bat in the belfry.

#Monsterdon Thanks to @Taweret@timeloop.cafe as always, and all the usual suspects. Cheers to the commenters who added spice to a movie notably lacking in sexy times (unless you REALLY like bats). 🦇

Cop: “I was drugged!”
As opposed to just drunk, which apparently happens so often that someone got to him by doping a random wine decanter.
