Genuinely disappointed nobody has isolated Northernlion say "and theeeen" as a soundboard button.

Can't wait for the sequel article where NPR passive-aggressively tells locomotive engineers how they can avoid hitting cars that stop on train tracks.

I like Bob Mortimer as much as the next person but it is WILD watching the Canadian version of Last One Laughing and they jam packed the cast with literal living legends. LOL UK is working comics and a couple old heads. The Canadian version truly feels like they swung for the fences.

Zak Bagans is SO CLOSE to be a well-read dork instead of a self-conscious neurodivergent trying to be normal. It's painful to watch. The literal first line of Ghost Adventures in the documentary he shot in 2004 is him quoting freaking Ralph Waldo Emerson.

If an actor does the Criterion Closet and grabs a movie they have a lead role in they should have to select at least five more movies they're not in to balance it out.

Told the Zillow account being cute in someone's comment section to "respectfully, fuck off." Start the clock on how long it's gonna take for me to get a community warning.

Loaded up an old Ken Burns doc on PBS Passport and felt my face fall when I heard "and the corporation for public broadcasting" for the first time since it was gutted.

Happy bisexual visibility day, I am bisexual

I'm so happy that Anne agreed to speak at TAFCON! @fancy-anne.bsky.social is so knowledgeable about marketing and will be sharing this knowledge with all of us on the marketing panel! Excited? I sure am! Get your tickets at www.kickstarter.com/projects/tafcon/tafcon-the-audio-fiction-convention/

"I've never seen full-blown autism in a 70 year old" is all the evidence you need he's never met a single train nerd in his life.

checking out sonic forces and that sure is a line

Today I learned Matt Rife owns the original Annabelle doll (along with everything else the Warren hucksters had in their museum) and I keep turning that around in my head like a stone to be polished.

I wanna know what behind-the-scenes incentive or disincentive Valve has for game developers that has brought us to this point where indie game developers will have a demo while the game is in pre-order, but once it goes live the demo is wiped. I can't try Easy Delivery Co. now 🤷

My favorite thing in Ghost Adventures is when Zak starts explaining how a ghost is messing with him psychically or a demon is possessing him except the description he gives is just him describing his social battery running out / him getting overstimulated by the crew members.

There's a shot early in the trailer revealing Sigourney Weaver is in it that screams "this was meant to be a reveal trailer for a convention." It lingers on her long enough for an applause break.

Okay more thoughts on this: A primary reasons I cover transfem authors vs characters is cause I've found that the vast majority of transfem fiction (like 95%) contains at least a little transfem rep. The representation question becomes redundant. If a trans character is bad, its just bad writing.

Fathom Events ran a trailer before Howl's Moving Castle last night where it's a Critical Role live event next month where two characters get married. They made ZERO effort to explain who the hell these people are or why it's cool the characters are getting married. An ad exclusively for fans.

One thing Eight Legged Freaks (2002) got right was giving Logan Huntzberger a stun gun to the nuts.

My incredibly late hot take about the Howl's Moving Castle dub is Billy Crystal absolutely phoned in that performance. I feel like Martin Short would have absolutely bodied it if given the chance.

"I'm leaving Meta. They're so toxic and awful. I couldn't possibly support a company like that. Anyway, if you want to get updates about my books or send me money, you can follow me on Substack."

Part of the fun of going to railroad museums during train events is you'll hear an announcement revealing the guy driving your locomotive was Ernest Borgnine's stunt double in the 1973 film Emperor of the North Pole.

Everything I've learned about Mastodon instances leads me to believe they're like if you asked a team of scientists to distill everything wrong about power-tripping forum mods and people with an ounce of Tumblr clout.

Help there is a lady in a dress and a crown like a beauty pageant winner but she's just at the entrance to a Love's truck stop.

Choosing to not engage with any nonsense happening with TV stations by simply driving four hours and paying $35 to be around a steam locomotive.

Oh Blanche Devereaux, you thunderous slut.

Watching Discovery channel for the first time in years. A lotta pooping-based medical ads these days huh

ME: wanna hear a joke BSKY REPLY PERSON: a what

I'd say "Tim Blake Nelson's still got it" but that infers that was ever in question. youtu.be/zCeV09LRIo0?...

HORROR NERDS OF BLUESKY: Please recommend haunted house/ghost movies. I yearn for good ghosts. Not just the all-timers, tell me the weird/obscure stuff. I love horror made by giant nerds (e.g. In a Violent Nature, Deadstream). I yearn for ghost stories that don't rely on Satanic Panic. Thank you

So excited to speak at @TAFCON and nerd out with buds over audio fiction, community, form, storytelling, sound, you name it. Hope you join us!

I'm still now over how impactful The Amityville Horror (1979) was on horror cinema for how little happens. Yeah yeah, the walls bleed. Cool. What else happens? Oh the demon holds a door shut so he just uses a window? Movie over? Awesome, cool, what a genuine threat of a demon.

I'm halfway through The Amityville Horror (1979) and so far the haunting has: 1. Inconvenienced some Catholics. 2. Broke Josh Brolin's penis. 3. Made it colder. 4. Hung out with a kid. 5. Caused one (1) nightmare that's just a factual account of what happened.

I swear Pop Socket's whole gimmick of "you can leave one base on your phone and change out the socket" is goda awful because it means the plastic that holds the actual device in is weakened and that is ALWAYS the failure point. Every single Pop Socket I've had failed at that weak ledge of plastic.

So the pedometer I got to keep marginal track of non-treadmill walks seems to work fine for the actual pedometer function. But the CLOCK IS SLOW? The DIGITAL CLOCK? Hello? That's like a digital calculator being wrong, how do you screw up a fundamental (arguably perfected) electronic thing.

I regret nothing, I don't apologize, kiss my ass.

Hey all! I'd like to thank the world's media institutions, and of course the Bluesky mods, for being totally normal and proportional about a barely famous trans woman cracking wise about a Nazi's death.

Haus once again knocking it out of the park with writing so good it reveals all the people who would rather post about how confused they are instead of Googling incredibly easy context clues to figure out a new slang term privately.

I feel like I'm from a different reality when I try to explain what Chit is to a normal human being who doesn't use TikTok just so I can give them the context they need to understand how weird it is Will Forte is now a supporting cast member of the Chit sketches.

even nick robinson had the decency to pretend he wasnt himself when he tried a stealth comeback. this is just pure audacious

Guys, do not Try this

Genuinely this is such a bonkers thing to realize it made me revive my blog I haven't touched in many many months. gavingaddis.com/2025/09/17/n...

Ned Fulmer's new podcast Rock Bottom, about him cheating on his wife and trying to come back from that, is the RSS feed for his wife's old podcast Baby Steps. He wiped her branding and episodes so he could start with an existing fanbase of thousands still subscribed and positive reviews on Apple.

I've reached that part of fat easily identifiable adulthood where they know me by name at Five Guys. I'm here once a month max but to everyone else in the dining area I'm the Norm of cheeseburgers.

If there ever was a steelbook 4k destined to sit on a shelf in a cigarette smoker's house and become the problem of their kids when they die... it's this one. And that's only because there isn't a 4k box set of no-name WW2 movies yet.

The more I learn about the film career of Mike Myers the more I find out basically every iconic decision made in a movie he's in was made against his will. He had to be talked into the Bohemian Rhapsody scene in Wayne's World. Jay Roach had to keep him on a leash in Austin Powers.

As a newly-formed self-hosting geek one of the most annoying things I see happen online is any time a news story freaks people out, there will be some nerd who's like "this is your sign to self-host [service replacing thing people are concerned about]" but it's a janky, ill-defined service.

The Jules plot line in Pulp Fiction is iconic, no doubt. Uma Thurman is the face of the movie thanks to the poster." But as time goes on there's become a trend of limited edition steelbooks having references to the entire movie, even spoiling the ending. Yet Bruce Willis' plot doesn't exist here.

i basically just muted all the trans reporter/influencers with substacks who present legislative shit that's not worth panicking about to an uninformed audience without context and with the full knowledge that everyone will freak out and with monetary incentive to have them do so
