Today's Mighty Oak

How do you know there is mayonnaise in that potato salad?

Alright, let’s see what we have today. First up, the trailer for the Zombieland trailer:

The National Cathedral (which is Episcopalian, by the way), has called out the President’s racism as a clarion call to white supremacists.

Here’s the cast for the Wheel of Time series. And here’s a primer about the the book series.

The Obi-Wan Disney+ series is officially happening! And here’s the trailer for The Mandalorian:

Speaking of Star Wars, how about a lightsaber bionic arm? Yes please!

The trailer for the new series, The Dark Crystal: The Age of Resistance (and the primer for that as well):

This German town will give you money to prove it doesn’t exist.

The trailer for the new season of AHS looks awesome. Slasher summer camp meets the 1980s (seems to be very Stranger Things influenced).

Holy crap, the cast for this show looks amazing and I can’t wait to watch the insanity:

Mayor Pete gives an eloquent and great breakdown about a form of homophobia often encountered.

The administration is once again pushing, this time to SCOTUS, to allow anti-gay workplace discrimination to be legal. Oh, and anti-trans discrimination too.

Brace yourselves, Texas passed a law I agree with! Sending unsolicited nudes is now considered a form of sexual harassment in their legal code!

I guess kind of a good story: a bigoted wedding venue changed their mind about barring a marriage when they couldn’t actually find proof in the bible that interracial marriage was a sin. They still block gay weddings, but hey, it’s nice to hear that they took the time to read and come to the right conclusion.

Guys, guns are totally gay:

Okay, that’s it for now, have a great one!

Why be difficult? Put some effort in and be impossible. (2)

Yesterday's nut October 6, 2013

It’s been a while, so I have a lot of fun stuff to share, let’s get started.  First up, amazing facts about frogs:

Holy crap, scientists have invented Lightsabers!

The commissioner of the NBA slams the Olympics for their handling of the Russia LGBT laws.  And speaking of, Brian Brown, head of NOM, worked with Russia lawmakers to draft the legislation working its way through the Duma to forcibly take children from LGBT adults.

And lastly about Russia, a music video about the torture of the Russian church:

Sometimes, grandmothers play one of my favorite games, Cards Against Humanity.  Yeah, weird and creepy, and I would have given her the point for that round.

Just like you can’t open a business and refuse to serve the Irish, or women, or Jews, you can’t flat our refuse to serve the LGBT community.  Unless the Republican party gets it way, of course.

The new trailer for the next Hobbit movie:

You’ve probably seen the Chipotle ad that’s making its way across the Internet, but here is the “truth” version.

Here’s a great essay about the impact Harry Potter has.

And another great essay at the Good Men Project about gay sex.

This will make you smile, I promise:

That’s it for now, have a great one!

“All the world is BLACK AND WHITE. The COLOR you have to add yourself.”

I’m just going to start off (I’m yelling this in my head): World’s biggest lightsaber

The blog over at The Office of Letters and Light has a great blog post about the important of hufflepuffs.  Make sure to read the whole thing, but here’s a snippet:

But we all know a Hufflepuff. Some of our closest friends are probably Hufflepuffs. A Hufflepuff will split a cookie with you, and give you the bigger half without even thinking about it. Hufflepuffs always know how to defuse awkward situations. They make the best wingmen. They’re not dramatic, they don’t fish for compliments, and they never have problems dealing with change. When your ego gets the best of you, a Hufflepuff will keep it in check. Hufflepuffs are charismatic, empathetic, and easy to take for granted because they put their friends before anyone else.

Why? They don’t need a reason why. A Hufflepuff doesn’t need to know the good deeds you’ve done, or how powerful your wand is, and a Hufflepuff doesn’t care how you do at math (thank goodness).

So, remember the crazy debate of the Park 51 mosque?  What if it opened and no one noticed?  Yeah, world is still spinning, I promise.

More later, I promise, just wanted to pass on a few links before I lost them.

Aren’t you the person who told me to live every week like it’s shark week?

Yesterday's nut November 30, 2008

I can happily announce that I am in fact a winner of NaNoWriMo 2008.  My winning entry is:

A new telling of “The Practical Handbook of Bee Culture, with some observations upon the segregation of the Queen” by Sherlocke Holms and “Violent Seeds: The Holloway Roberts Myst” by Jeremey Flinte With a new introduction by Jakabok Botch Gone

Yes, the title is 40 words long, but it is what it is.  It was a lot of fun, as always, and I met some really awesome people at the write in’s, which I’ll make sure I get to them again next year.  For everyone still writing, you have another day to finish, so keep going!

And in the meantime, some cool links for you to peruse:

Crane porn!  And by that, I mean the phrase used by Gizmodo is ‘crane porn.’  There is this giant crane in england that floats, it is amazing!  Check it out!

Doctors will soon use lightsabers to fight cancer.  Not in a duel to the death, or like on Family Guy when Luke Skywalker used a lightsaber to perform eye surgery, but concentrated light blades to cut out individual cells.

Ever want to use a bath bomb but didn’t want to spend the 10 bucks for it?  Make it yourself!

Ok, that’s it for now.  More updates coming now that I have some time, including more galleries!
