incredibly ominous pre-storm weather in los angeles rn

Gift link, probably the funniest thing the Wall Street Journal has done this year.

Marty DiBergi Forever

Have a lot of thoughts on Epic, mostly positive. Getting this video might have been the highlight of my day though.

Might as well take advantage of the cool weather and relatively low crowd week while I’m here.

Somehow never stayed here til now. Pretty fun.

WAKE UP DEAD MAN absolutely rips, and especially a packed theater. Full on engrossed from the first scene. Definitely my fave of the Knives Out movies. And bravo to @rianjohnson.bsky.social for the perfect song blasting on Blanc’s car stereo.

Keeping up with my favorite semi-annual Thanksgiving weekend tradition of seeing a new Benoit Blanc movie in theaters.

saw a new movie by one of my favorite directors and didn’t really care for it. alas.

Looking forward to his statue unveiling outside Staples Center.

Notice how they picked a short locked off shot where Kaluuya barely moves, and yet it still gets nearly everything wrong: Performance (no two tears), lensing, blocking, even the background is inconsistent. It’s just three avatars looking scared. No way this holds up in a scene much less a movie.

Lucky to be in New York today to witness and participate in the #NoKings rally.

Everyone hyping how good One Battle After Another is were underselling it, somehow. God tier even for already masterpiece heavy PTA.

A nice little moment at MK yesterday.

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Singing my soul out to “Don’t Look Back In Anger” with the whole stadium at Oasis last night qualifies as the best five minutes of 2025 so far.

JUST IN: Tron Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom and Tron Lightcycle Power Run at Shanghai Disneyland will get a Tron Ares overlay with Nine Inch Nails soundtrack starting Sept. 15 at Disney World and Sept. 16 at Shanghai.

“Metro City- I have friends, they leave turkey legs in trash cans because they know they will be punched by a gang. They want to be able to heal up, so they leave a fully cooked leg on a plate out there. Sometimes it’s a pizza, too, depending on how much they want to get healthy”

Pritzker’s got the sauce.

what i love about this is that it’s a politician being joyful about living in the city. no defensiveness, no “well some people have concerns” just pure joy about living around other people

2025 is certainly answering what it’s like to feel insane all the time

One lingering aspect of this LLM stuff, even after it collapses, will be the knowledge that many of my peers don’t make things to enjoy the making, but to enjoy the having made. I just assumed everyone really dug climbing that mountain too. Nothing noble about it, no judgement, just a lesson learned

If anyone at Disneyland this weekend gets better shots of Minnie’s Halloween orange sneakers I’d be eternally grateful.

divorced from all the political blowharding, the cracker barrel refurbishments are really lame. the muted hobby lobby look is just super boring. cracker barrels should look like shit, in a good way.

My digestive system after a week of eating terribly unhealthy amusement park food.

Good couple of days at Cedar Point. Hopefully it won’t be 17 years between trips next time.

STEEL VENGEANCE. 10/10 Hell Yeahs. 20/10 Hell Yeahs at night.

ORION, my 300th roller coaster. Absolutely next level. Happy National Roller Coaster Day!

Riding my 300th roller coaster on National Roller Coaster Day?

Still wild there’s a whole Indiana Jones themed bar here.

I'm the most edge of edge cases in terms of what my needs are when staying at Walt Disney World, but they put me at Saratoga in a room with a washer+dryer, and an easy walk to Disney Springs and it feels like a revelation.

starbucks galaxy's edge

Went to Sea World Orlando for the first time ever. LOVED Mako but there’s no good angles to film it so here’s a video of the pretty fun Pipeline coaster.

First movie to get me out to the theaters this summer was NAKED GUN. Didn’t disappoint. The Buffy TiVo bit 🙌

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

Cancelling this and millions of dollars of biomedical research funding, cutting and limiting Medicaid and health insurance options...but endorsing french fries cooked in beef fat and soda with cane sugar. Just the stupidest, most transparently cynical "health policy" imaginable.

Of the most import technologies of the 21st century, our government is actively opposed to at least 2 of the top 5

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

re-upping this question for the weekday crowd

Wanted to do a couple days at Epic Universe while I’m out there but seems like the ticket options don’t let you do that…are the bigs accomplishable in one day? The coasters and Monsters would be my priority. Would be ok skipping Mario Kart and I’m wary of Ministry cuz I get motion sick.

What if the The Wizard of Oz looked like the Black Hole Sun music video was rendered on a PS3 and played on a cranked up settings demo TV at Best Buy?

This platform was not fortified to withstand avatar discourse.

This is gonna be my go-to example of what BlueSky 2025 is like.
