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?...

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.

As a lifelong comics nerd, I love what @jamesgunn.bsky.social did with #Superman. It's a hopeful and uplifting movie that's filled with a TON of nods and Easter eggs that pay respect to past Superman creatives. As a massive JLI fan, I never imagined seeing Guy Gardner in a movie--dream realized.

tomorrow night, i'll be revealing the names i found on the Epstein list www.youtube.com/live/Gmyx7ZE...

#TheOldGuard2 wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as the first and had several issues. The thing that bothered me the most was the it was intentionally made as a multi-part movie and doesn't do enough to stand on its own.

As a huge fan of Bendis and Fraction, I enjoyed seeing Riri Williams and Ezekiel Stane in #Ironheart. The supporting characters, Chicago setting, music, and small focus helped bring its world to life. Too bad it only got 6 episodes. Nerd chat with @paulsemel.bsky.social & @tokz21.bsky.social!

what do you want from Jake Schreier's X-Men movie? @paulsemel.bsky.social and i had a nerdy discussion about our hopes for the first MCU X-Men film. we talked about what we want tonally, characters we want to see, and not casting a completely awful person as Psylocke.

this was a fantastic conversation to listen to. it was informative and surprisingly entertaining. it had one of the best analogies i've ever heard in my life: "it's like Barry Gibb finding his falsetto." that's f*cking genius!!!

the reviewing-bombing losers are at it again #ironheart

Jay Mohr is my hero

clearly the precursor to Skynet

incredibly excited for this. i'm a big fan of Mister Miracle and Jack Kirby's Fourth World in general. Tom King's MM comics were amazing. this should be a banger!

i used to say “sharpest bulb” in the 90s all the time to make my friend Rick Shim laugh. not sure why POTUS does it.

Trump in 2020: We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor.

Please check out this fine episode of Electric Playground. You can see two clips of me boxing @tommytallarico1.bsky.social around the 15:38 mark. It was a spirited bout that I won by (a questionable) referee stoppage. Also, the ring girls were really hot. 🤩🤩🤩

WWE has branded turnbuckles, ring mats, gimmicked tables, and ladders, but wouldn’t maintain R-Truth’s salary??? greedy bastards.

this is the real issue. so many news outlets are devoting space to a social media fight between two billionaires that only care about themselves. millions of people are gobbling up those articles. trump vs. elon, while entertaining, distracts people from things that actually matter.

randomly getting back into #TheCars. they were such an interesting band -- part guitar rock, part synth pop, lead vocalist changed depending on the song, kind of in between the big trends of the 70s and 80s, one of the earliest music videos to use CGI, etc.

my recasting choices for #StarWars #RevengeOfTheSith were: 7) Zach Woods as C-3PO 6) Terry Crews as Mace Windu 5) Neil Patrick Harris as Yoda 4) Hugh Jackman as Sheev Palpatine 3) Olivia Rodrigo as Padme Amidala 2) Darren Criss as Obi-Wan Kenobi 1) Timothee Chalamet as Anakin Skywalker

i have no idea what games journalism is now, so i asked two smart people to let me know what's up. it was brilliant learning from two industry veterans -- @raycarsillo.bsky.social and @chriskramerpr.bsky.social -- and hearing their thoughts on #videogame #journalism.

the leader of the #lawandorder party pardoned a former sheriff that sold deputy badges for cash.

this was heavy to read when i was a kid

The Studio has been my favorite television surprise of 2025 so far. Similar to how The Larry Sanders Show poked fun at the TV industry, #TheStudio makes fun of the silly things TV execs say and do. More thoughts tonight with Mac and @revistingmania.bsky.social Carlos!

cheers Norm 🍻🍻🍻

Thoughts on the #andor series finale. #starwars matthewfreeman.substack.com/p/if-not-for...

what did you think of #Andor season 2? Mac and i LOVED it, and rate it was the best live-action #StarWars in the Disney era. that said, it didn't have space wizards, laser swords, and other traditional SW elements. for @paulsemel.bsky.social, it didn't feel like Star Wars.

Navy vet here. 86 means to cancel. Example: “86 my last order.” I have never heard it used as execute or kill anyone. Maybe that’s an Army thing. Who knows? But this vet feels perfectly comfortable saying 8647!

#Andor is the best live-action series or movie Disney has released since it acquired Lucasfilm. as a #Rebels nerd, there were moments in #Ahsoka that were more meaningful to me, but objectively, Andor's combination of stellar writing, acting, and set design are streets ahead.
