It's not as good as a blank check from the Canadian government, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless!
Episode 157.2 - "A Nice Mess": HMCS Karluk, Pt. II ft. @jesslovesboats.bsky.social Available now wherever podcasts might be
no YOURE crying
what is the story of the Karluk without a little black cat along for the journey?
Ashii Babbit military funeral and JT Homer in the day.
one of my favorite line deliveries from all of Boardwalk Empire is when George Remus (played by Glenn Fleshler) mentions coming to Cincinnati on the phone and Nucky responds "why the fuck would ANYONE ever go to Cincinnati?!"
George Remus, Cincinnati bootlegging king, was the real Great Gatsby, which is to say: a big fat sputtering German guy whose wife hated his guts. Tell the truth, F. Scott! This is the king we stan! APPLE PODCASTS: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/show/6Y82Liu...
you want more, don't you? You need more. You thirst for her, you hunger. She's all you think about. (Part 2 of Karluk out for patrons tonight! 😀)
hate his vibe, hate his actions, hate to look upon him. Just an unpleasant experience in human form
sure why not
I really think we need to have some mechanism in place for being able to say, in print and in the media, that a problem with a public figure is that they are insane. Not in a hyperbolic way. RFK Jr is a maniac.
fired from my CIA agent job for breaking the law because apparently "we don't do that anymore" 😡

now safe for consumption by the general public, it's Episode 157.1 - HMCS Karluk, Pt. 1 ft. @jesslovesboats.bsky.social beyondthebreakers.buzzsprout.com/1657951/epis...
if it weren’t a precursor to unmitigated tragedy, this passage from The Broken Spears where the Spaniards start Sméagol-maxxing at the sight of gold would be very funny
At the local antique store and thought of @waltspodcast.bsky.social
there are Butlerian mujahideen everywhere for those with the eyes to see
I think it comes down to being fascinated by stories about people (men) having a terrible time? See also: war stories. They all start thinking it will be a grand adventure and come out broken on the other side, if they manage to survive at all
Listening to the Karluk episode on @beyondthebreakers.bsky.social on the coldest night of the year, for extra ambiance points. @jesslovesboats.bsky.social thank you for all your incredible work, no least of all for mentioning the cat 😻 It got me thinking about why I love polar exploration?
slowly peeling this guy’s skin off as his cries for mercy grow weaker and weaker but legally it isn’t murder because if it was I would have gotten it over with quickly

Arctic shipmates hate this one weird trick

Since we recorded the first episode this morning, I guess it's safe to talk about now- I'm guesting on @beyondthebreakers.bsky.social for a series on the Karluk and a Patreon exclusive bonus episode on the Wrangel Island expedition. I am extremely excited and I can't wait for you to hear it!

Hello friends, I'm going to take this opportunity to repost some photos of the Karluk crew for ABSOLUTELY NO PARTICULAR REASON (and hopefully do a better job of making a coherent thread than I did at the other place)
kill the men, kill the women, kill the children, and kill anyone who documents the horrors of your genocide for the world to see. Self-defense the Israeli way. There will never be a safe or just world with Israel and the United States in it

I will be asking to remove 'Queer As Folklore' from the long list for the Polari Prize 2025.
a little teaser of our upcoming main episodes One is pretty warm, tropical even. The other is very, very... very cold.
Avoiding damage probably didn't mean leaving the submersible on a Canadian dockside to be subjected to repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Y'know, the thing that breaks apart whole mountains...
recording the final episode of the show here and uploading it unedited as we sink into the depths
obsessed with this vague notice from the government of Nova Scotia. Like it’s definitely about the new fire restrictions, but it also looks like a poster you’d find yellowed and curled on the bulletin board of a diner in a town where locals won’t talk about their missing kids
‘What line of work you in Bill?’
The day’s first major boat sighting is the CMA CGM Green, on the way from Savannah, Georgia to the Port of Philadelphia. It’s under Malta’s flag. I’ve got nothing for this one, as neither team here wears green.

Lib politics are so wild. I saw a lady walking in this parade with a sign that said “patriotism is the new counterculture” and, I know her heart is in the right place but you just want to say “Ma’am with all due respect I think patriotism got us into this mess”

we know we need to cover the Titan doc(s) first, but for the next movie bonus after that we have a far more serious subject to discuss
I feel like all of these AI teaching tools (whether they're for engagement, lesson planning, assessment, etc.) have the end result (intentional or not) of making the job of teacher something that can increasingly be done by people who don't want to *be* teachers. And that seems good for no one?
with the power of AI we can finally strip teaching of some of its most interactive and rewarding aspects
Episode 154 - R.J. Hackett ft. @kayleefabulous.bsky.social Out on the main feed now
'did you get a permission slip for that, Mr President?'
