as a card-carrying #homelesscat at #PFChangs, i’m so happy that the word redacted will be used heavily over the next week or so.

My top 3 #movies of 2025 were: 1) Rental Family 2) The Ballad of Wallis Island 3) Sorry, Baby @paulsemel.bsky.social and Mac chose very different movies, and it was fun hearing about what they enjoyed (and what they didn't) in 2025. What were your favorite movies? www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2vO...

I don’t know that I’ve seen someone as happy as #50cent on his Diddy documentary press tour. May we all experience such sheer joy.

My favorite #television shows of 2025 were: 1) Andor 2) The Studio 3) Peacemaker What were your top three of 2025? Check out the TV shows @paulsemel.bsky.social and @revistingmania.bsky.social Carlos liked best here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0khO...

it’s getting cold in Las Vegas (3 Celsius at night). thinking of getting a hooded cloak for the season. maybe the “Aragorn chic” look will become a thing.

#RentalFamily is a wonderful film that takes a look at what it means to make an authentic human connection. It’s easily one of my three favorite movies of 2025. What did you think of Rental Family???

Once again, Veep was shockingly prescient. It's absolutely hilarious that morons have angrily responded to a joke Polymarket made about #ZohranMamdani requiring New York schools to teach "Arabic" numerals. www.snopes.com/fact-check/m...

#NowYouSeeMeNowYouDont is a fun addition to the #NowYouSeeMe franchise. It refreshes old tricks and middle-aged actors, with new gimmicks and fresh faces. To me, it's Ocean's 11 with magic or Fast & Furious with magic. More thoughts with @tokz21.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZwF...

#NowYouSeeMeNowYouDont was fun and entertaining. The new Horsemen held their own. Ariana Greenblatt’s stock continues to rise. If you want a movie to ‘veg out,’ this is it. More thoughts later today when I join @rpadtv.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/6ZwFu65...

In lighter news: I’m writing about THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT on Ahch-To Baby matthewfreeman.substack.com/p/empty-empire

Nerding out on #KPopDemonHunters with Mac and his daughter Lexi. This is #RPadTV history! Due to various postponements and cancellations, I've not had a young guest or a female guest on the show. Cheers to Lexi for changing that. 🤩🤩🤩 www.youtube.com/live/1Lmtg1O...

RIP Cleto 😿😿😿 youtube.com/shorts/tb8eQ...

Although I agree with Lina Khan, I still prefer George Carlin's take on the "Illusion of Choice."

Like many boxed sets of classic albums, The Jimi Hendrix Experience's "Bold As Love" — a new boxed set of their second album, "Axis: Bold As Love" — is a mixed bag, but has plenty fans of this band, and this album, will want to keep. Here's the link to my review. paulsemel.com/the-jimi-hen... 🎶🎸🎻🥁💿

alleged couch-f*cker @jd-vance-1.bsky.social seen here being fondled by a women dressed as a leather couch #parody

Watching @kamalaharris.com on @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social. I had no idea she was so skilled at dropping F-bombs.

Prior to its release, some critics were saying that #TheRock should get #Oscars consideration for his performance in #TheSmashingMachine. He was fine, but Emily Blunt was the outstanding actor in this movie. I stopped by @revistingmania.bsky.social to discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHKF...

As a massive fan of #TheBoys comics and TV show, I was excited for #GenV Season 2. To my surprise, it exceeded my expectations. It had the action, humor, and storytelling I was expecting, but the character development and pacing were streets ahead. I really hope Amazon gives them a third season!

Dear @jamesgunn.bsky.social -- I loved #Peacemaker Season 2, but my friend Mac wanted more closure for Chris. Will Mac and Chris get their happy ending??? youtube.com/clip/UgkxUHD...

Super excited to give Open AI's #AtlasBrowser a go. Dia has been my main browser for several months and I've grown fond of #ChatGPT -integrated browsers, BUT The Browser Company's future is murky since it's been acquired. Open AI is stable and has the financial resources to make Atlas fantastic.

@filtertron-tele.bsky.social hello there! i saw your username and wondered if one of my guitars became sentient.

I mostly loved #Peacemaker Season 2. The writing was hilarious, the acting was far beyond what I was expecting, and Foxy Shazam rules. That said, the finale was disappointing when it pulled focus from the 11th Street Kids. More thoughts tonight with Paul, Mac, and Carlos. Hope you can hang!

because nothing says "clean protein" like #PopTarts 😆😆😆

Here's a chat with #Acclaim CEO Alex Josef on the challenges of reviving a classic #videogame brand, the games he's publishing over the next year, his goals for the company, and more. www.youtube.com/live/Zt-nCGl...

Guy who is zip-tying American children and shooting pastors on the head with pepper balls wants Peace Prize.

this sentence by @lpp.bsky.social hits too close to home. the full article is quality and definitely worth a read for more insights on the EA acquisition, but i will selfishly fixate on this sentence as AI crushes my soul from 9 to 5.

#MarvelZombies was the first MCU project featuring Ms. Marvel that I didn't love. I didn't hate the show, but the writing was disappointing and I doubt I'd watch it again. In fact, I'd sooner rewatch a few episodes of Echo.

not a username i expected to see in #pokemongo 😆😆😆

@cortezmasto.senate.gov needs to go. she's a hack that makes poor decisions, but it's hard to tell if it's because she's uninformed or if it's because she's taking dark money. her CR votes, the pathetic decision not to confirm Adeel Mangi, etc. have made things worse for her constituents.

this is a chocolate crema Catalana. it’s like a Spanish crème brûlée made with Belgian chocolate. it’s the most delicious “new” dessert i’ve had in years. side effects include randomly screaming, “independence for Barcelona!!!” #asianstakingpicturesoffood

@sublevel28.no just saw that Dagan is working for Anderton’s now. awesome!

"Americans are like deer in headlights. If you don't move and protect the rights you have, you lose them, and it's so much harder to reclaim them." It was awesome watching Maria on @thedailyshow.com...and also more than a little scary. youtu.be/Tsb1I7hqaJ4?...

#IStandWithJimmyKimmel #IStandWithGuillermo

did you know that in addition to being a talented writer, voice actor, and commentator, @raycarsillo.bsky.social is also an up-and-coming standup comedian? you can learn about his comedic influences, his style of comedy, and more here: www.youtube.com/live/kcahASu... #raycarsillocomedy

i watched the monologue. what did Jimmy Kimmel do wrong? i didn't hear anything offensive. more cowardice from ABC?

While it may have gotten a (semi) extreme makoever, and some good quality of life improvements, #Borderlands4 is still very much a #Borderlands game...and that's a good thing. Here's the link to my review. paulsemel.com/borderlands-... 🎮🔫🔫🔫

although i think award shows for TV, movies, music, etc. are mostly silly because works of entertainment shouldn’t be competing as if they were Olympic sports, i was so happy to read that Seth Rogen and Cristin Milioti won for their wonderful shows.

i told @paulsemel.bsky.social that Pugsley on #Wednesday season 2 reminded me of a Latino @cbake.bsky.social. youtube.com/clip/UgkxYaN...

LOVED Wednesday Season 2. The show had some great performances, but I'm enamored with the world building. I loved little touches, like The Tell-Tale Cafe serving the Fall of the House of Usher Chai and Murders in the Rue Macchiato. Also, Joanna Lumley is a Mother.

upgrading my LG 65E6P to an LG 83G4. yes, it's last year's model, but with multiple tricksy discounts, the price was too good to pass up. can't wait to set it up!

99% sure the #ChampionsLeague draw was fixed. it's just WAY too convenient that @mancity.com gets to host KDB and Liverpool gets to play TAA.

#EyesOfWakanda is one of my favorite surprises of 2025. didn't see any marketing for it and forgot it was being released this month. the art style, music, writing, and acting were quality, and the series did a wonderful job of expanding the world of Black Panther.

The Sandman: Season of Mists is one of my favorite comic book arcs of all time. it changed my idea of what comics could be, similar to how The Beatles' Rubber Soul changed music for me. it was a dream (*snicker*) seeing it adapted in #TheSandman Season 2 on Netflix.

my excellent friend Dan wrote a fantastic blog about AI deregulation. he was an editor at the first magazine i wrote for :) also, the environment teh doomed!!! substack.com/home/post/p-...

The #FantasticFour: First Steps is the most accessible movie Marvel has released in years. The writing, directing, acting, and set design were very good to excellent, BUT I like my superhero films nerdier and with more damaged characters.

second viewing of #FantasticFour confirmed my initial reaction. looking forward to my nerd chat Thursday 6:00 p.m. PDT with @paulsemel.bsky.social and @raycarsillo.bsky.social! www.youtube.com/live/lnppbgi...

really enjoyed #Superman. it was interesting hearing what @paulsemel.bsky.social and @annoyedgamer.bsky.social thought of the movie. for 2 of us, #Superman25 is up there with the first two Christopher Reeves films. what did you think? www.youtube.com/live/Gmyx7ZE...

@joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social did a great job hosting The Daily Show for the first time ever. Congrats!!! Can’t wait to see the rest of the week.
