Tweet of the Day, Just Not… Talk About It On The Internet? edition.

I share Gabe’s sense of wonder. And I barely get a rounding error’s worth of the backtalk that Penny Arcade must rack up.

I’m not going to talk about this comic here:https://t.co/yMn2RSgqEJ #pennyarcade

There is a mysterious rocket body crater on the moon.

Somebody should go and take a closer look at it. …And pretty soon, we should actually be able to. We are so tantalizingly close to actually having rocketships…

After a rocket body impacted the Moon last year, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter was able to snap a surprising view of the impact site. Unexpectedly, the crater is actually two craters and may indicate that the rocket body had large masses at each end: https://t.co/WtMAFrNkUw pic.twitter.com/hcoYPxlm8z

The Widdershins Apothecary Enamel Pins and Stickers Kickstarter.

My kid likes strange and often macabre pins, so the Widdershins Apothecary Enamel Pins and Stickers Kickstarter stuff will be right up his alley. Besides, Kate Ashwin does one of my favorite webcomics. One of these days I’ll get her to do cover art for me…

Happy Birthday, Melvin Kaminsky.

96! You don’t expect ghoul-hunters to hit 96, unless that’s the speed they were at when they ran into the wall of undead. Happy birthday!

Tweet of the Day, It Is Totally A Butt edition.

We care about the important questions, here at MoeLane.com.

These are our new vision check eye charts for kids who aren’t comfortable with letters yet. Almost all four-year-old boys refer to the symbol in the middle upper line as “a butt”. The girls say it is a heart. pic.twitter.com/ev7vgw241E

Tweet of the Day, I Have A Different Reaction To Nerf’s Murph edition.

It is not a thing of horror to me.

Hasbro has just introduced, and this is not a joke, their new nightmarish mascot for NERF brand products named "Murph."

Murph's terrifying catchphrase is "unleash the play in you."

Here is Murph: pic.twitter.com/THZYb02sKY

It is a thing that can be consumed. Consumed in the whispering fire of a hungry full-auto Nerf machine gun. And, oh, yes: play shall be unleashed. So much play…

Tweet of the Day, Who Am I To Argue With The Man? edition.

I can’t wait for this quote to show up on my Amazon Author’s page. And I used all of the ambassador’s names in the quote, too. Because…

It’s the Summer Solstice!

Longest day of the year.

Happy Juneteenth!

I’d like to note for the record that this website was celebrating Juneteenth well before all the cool kids took the holiday up. It’s just so commercial, now. …No, wait, that’s a good thing*. Never mind!

*Just like ending slavery in the United States was.

Happy Fathers Day!

I can never remember where the apostrophe goes. And no, I’m not going look it up. I don’t feel like looking it up, frankly. I feel like puttering around and maybe going to get some fresh air, because it’s nice out. I got a baronial meeting this evening, and not a damned thing to do between now and then.

Anyway, Happy Father[‘]s[‘] Day, to all the dads out there!
