oh is there a new episode of Chainsaw Man out?

Well then. I even closed my eyes when I took the screenshot. I would have liked something with a little more built-in wealth but I'll take this.

I am not dead today. Good luck!

Celebrating the New Year with the song of my people: A Twilight Zone marathon

So a bunch of overseas MTV music channels are going off-air today. In the US we still have MTV Classic (mostly as a FAST thing). In honor of our collective loss, instead of posting my favorite music videos, I'm posting videos that I saw on MTV that you'd be like, "they showed *that* on MTV?"

As we say goodbye to the MetroCard today, here's what I have on display in my apartment: cc/ @2avesag.as

If you have Netflix, watch 100 Meters today. It's so good. Like Challengers, but minus the sexy churro eating.

Let's be honest he's doing this because he was never able to book one of the Transit Museum tours

I get really tired of "if Avatar has no cultural impact then why do so many people go to see it" I need you to understand it is like Pluribus. We quietly assemble, watch the film, then quietly melt back into society once the task is done. We will do it again when the next one comes out.

Sorry, this is my fault, I was thinking about what a douchebag David O. Russell was when I woke up this morning

I survived Whamageddon. Heck, I even managed to avoid hearing "All I Want for Christmas Is You" ...come to think of it I haven't heard much Christmas music at all this year. I might have a hermitage problem.

No Other Choice: imagine if Hank Hill lost his job at Strickland and proceeded to murder every other propane and propane accessories guy looking for a job in Arlen just because he can't imagine doing a job that isn't propane also Bobby is autistic and there are two Ladybirds

I just watched this and Linda Ronstadt is giving off strong "Carrie Fisher on cocaine during the Star Wars Holiday Special" vibes here

I just saw someone argue that Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie because it could be set on another holiday and then suggest the office party could be a Thanksgiving party... ... ... In all my 25+ years of being employed I have never been to, nor heard of, a Thanksgiving office party

remember to scare children into believing in santa so we won't have to fight the frost gigas again this year

Dyker Heights Christmas Lights are pretty good, but a lot of people are sleeping on the Bay Ridge Holiday House a few blocks away

This is so good.

I really hope the 60 Minutes episode gets leaked

More proof that I touch grass occasionally: Went to the Museum of the Moving Image today. Saw the Mission Impossible exhibit. Ate barbecue (no pictures).

This is me with The Last Jedi. I didn't love it the first time I saw it. I'm not even sure I liked it. I had to go see it again... and again and then I realized I did love it.

In an attempt to use my Alamo Season Pass more, went to the Crunchyroll Anime Nights Sneak Peek Sentenced to Be a Hero: This was pretty good. The animation was good, and the plot was interesting even if I figured out the "twist" very early on

Both Suikoden and The Last Jedi slap and if you disagree that's fine, but we're probably not going to be friends Happy December 15!!!

Suikoden I is 30 years old 🥹

Today is a great day to find more people to block.

RIP Gainax, it was a (mostly) good run www.khara.co.jp/2025/12/11/2...

Who is more toxic, Gayle Gennaro or Dale Gribble?

WASHINGTON AND OREGON CARTOONISTS: Seattle's bus service is commissioning 6 artists for public art pieces, 2 each, of local stories, 16-32 pages, over 2026, for $54k per artist, to be freely distributed over their ridership. details here: www.4culture.org/grants/movin...

I hate that Progressive ad where the spokesman says, "Lawn care is not a hobby!" Except... it is. No one needs to have a lawn; you make a choice to have a lawn and some people really get into caring for it. Not my thing and I think there are better uses of our land but still... totally a hobby.

I wrote about the dirty, demeaning, absolutely booming business of turning something like a shitty bigoted college essay into a shitty public career as a bigot, and also estimated how old Marine Todd would be today. defector.com/the-conserva...

I really, really think Hamnet is going to win Best Picture. I know One Battle After Another is getting all the buzz right now but Hamnet is the kind of film Oscar voters love. It also helps that it's a very, very good film.

"slop" better be on someone's Word of the Year list because I'm seeing it everywhere Not just AI slop but "friendslop" (I see Macquarie picked it but I also don't know who that is)

This is your reminder that Hulu has helpfully grouped all Thanksgiving Bob's Burgers under "Bobsgiving"

20+ years and these mfers still can't pronounce "Pokémon" #MacysThanksgivingDayParade

When I watch Plur1bus I mull over the kind of questions I would ask in Carol's situation. I'm curious if the brains of the kids absorbed into the hive keep growing, or rather, are they growing less since all higher level/challenging thought has been outsourced to the hive.

THIS THIS THIS I also feel the same way about 2017 Ducktales' Webby/Scrooge

Just took my first AI-driven interview. Bailed after two minutes because wow what a terrible experience. Is this actually working for anyone?

So 88 Pictures, an Indian animation studio, ripped off shots/choreography for their episode of Star Wars: Visions (from season 2). Disney, of course, is getting the blame. www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/c...

John Oliver deserves another Emmy for last night's episode. It was obvious from the beginning that the intent was to raise money for PBS/NPR but I really did not expect how far the episode went and it was immensely entertaining the entire time. adoptastation.org

I saw an ad that had an AI disclaimer on it and the disclaimer misspelled "advertisement" so that's where we're at now

One thing I love about Spy × Family is that we still don't know how old Anya is. She's not six (she lied to Loid). She could be as young as four which, in my opinion, makes her shenanigans mighty impressive. She's even keeping up (barely) with schoolwork that's at least a year above her!

I saw a Reddit post asking if $600 was enough of a food budget to live in NYC and most of the replies were "no" and now I'm starting to think all the avocado toast jokes had a point

This is giving me a stroke.

What's a show where you watched one episode and said, "nah, I'm good" and never watched any more of it? My mom watched the first episode of Twisted Wonderland and messaged me "this is very Japanese" and after watching it I'm embarrassed.

If nations had a "right" to exist then we couldn't have revolutions

Last week I went to the New York Sign Museum for my birthday and it was very cool. anyway I felt I needed to prove I do touch grass pretty regularly; I just don't post about it a lot

This is what the term "emotional labor" was originally coined for, folks.

What's a show where you watched one episode and said, "nah, I'm good" and never watched any more of it? Sorry folks, but I found NDT's Cosmos soooooo boring.
