I wonder how many times in history a person has legitimately had a corkboard full of photos and lists and notes all connected by red yarn with pushpins like a crazy person in a movie. How often has that been something somebody has needed

Doing something called "One Beer January" which is where you do Dry January until you get invited to a reunion at a brewery for all your old friends and colleagues from the company you used to work at who all got laid off when the company went under and you drink one beer there

Trying to figure out a good credit card to get to replace my Bilt card which is about to become very terrible in a few weeks when it goes to Bilt 2.0. Leaning to maybe just getting an Apple card. I only want to get cash back and don't care about travel points and I have an amazon prime card already

I've been enjoying the show Pluribus lately

I know they say hat makers used to go crazy due to mercury exposure and that's where you get the Mad Hatter thing from but it'd be funny if making hats just inherently drove people to madness

I need to stop seeing the "if i had a nickel for every [X thing] I'd have two nickels, it's weird it happened twice" cliche please. i need ostensibly serious people to stop quoting phineas and ferb

it's fun when you can hear a beatles song like "Hello Goodbye" and think boy i bet John hated this one and you look it up and he did. 15 years later he gave an interview about how much he hated that song. it's cool to be right

There's a showing of No Other Choice that starts in 15 mins that I've been waffling over whether to go see all day. I don't think I'm going to. I already spent 900 hours at the theater yesterday for Avatar

My apartment wanted to increase my rent by $100 a month but I have gotten them to agree to cut it by $293 a month instead. Either I am a great negotiator who knows the art of the deal or they are secretly planning to release a swarm of monsters into the walls to drive me insane

Long. Same movie as Way of Water but a little better

seated now for Avatar the blue people movie

one of my main talents in life is that I can perfectly replicate the whistling part of "Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard," even the one part where they make a mistake and hit too high of a note

i have become aware of an upcoming video game called Crimson Desert that has a lot of promise, but to me the main thing I know of it is that it's in the same universe as the game that the "Just Like Bart!" Monster Factory was from

Every few months I listen to the Sam Smith James Bond theme to see if I've started liking it yet and I start off thinking this is alright actually and by the end I go back to remembering that it sucks

The cool thing of Pluribus is you could potentially remake it as many times as you want but just pick somebody else who didn't get Pluribused. In 10 years remake it but the focus is on some Australian guy. Or what if Kim Jong-Un is the only guy who doesn't get Pluribused. Lot of things you could do

You never really hear about "modems" these days

It's always interesting to me when a piece of media about a specific thing never references that thing by its name. Walking Dead never mentioned the word zombies, Russian Doll never said the phrase "time loop," so far no one on Pluribus has said the words "hive mind" yet

I've been informed that George Saunders has a new book coming out. I'll probably get that and read it

The bears won

I still regret the role I played in the Beatles breaking up. I never meant to break up the Beatles

I'm in charge around here

One thing about Pluribus I found a little bit unlikely is that the guy who makes them fly him around on Air Force One didn't also require a bunch of A-list celebrities to be waiting on him. He has a big harem but none of them are famous and a guy like that would want them to be famous

Forgot I was out of milk so I had a small leftover miniature panettone for breakfast instead of cereal. Please update your jitka's breakfast charts

Metroid Prime 4 isn't bad but it isn't good enough. It's fine. You want a Metroid game to be better than fine

it's interesting to me the difference between online and in real life when it comes to movies. no one offline has heard of even a single movie that on here has already had months of discourse. you would be lucky to meet someone who is even aware there's a new Avatar movie out, much less OBAA

I bought a very technological new mouse recently but in order to fully use it i have to download the mouse's app and i don't know if i'm allowed to do that on my work computer. until then my mouse won't be as technological as i want it to be

Last year I waited until about 15 weeks into the season to start watching the Pitt and that's what I should have done this time too

If my last name was Holf I would have no choice but to start a business making and selling Ouds so that I could call it Holf Ouds

I'd like to thank Carvalho et al for deciding to get mad at HP so that 4 years later I can get a random $115.92 deposit in my checking account. Thank you Carvalho. Thank you et al.

I've now seen the first two episodes of Pluribus. The pluribuses are weak. Quit fainting. Oh a romance novelist yelled at you. Get over it

I have a ticket to see fire and ash today but I've recently realized that I don't really want to see it, kind of at all

Bad news: I've just been Pluribused. I'm a Pluribus now

I live on the second floor of a three story building and both my downstairs and upstairs neighbors have installed purple light bulbs by their front door. I only have a regular light but I feel like I should get a purple one. I'm spoiling the purple theme

I still can't believe how terrible the stir fry I made the other day turned out. Nasty as hell

Sometimes you just admit you're not gonna see a movie and you look up what happens in it. This is happening today to me with "Weapons"

I think if I were a scientist, I would focus on creating some type of serum. I think when you're a scientist, any kind of scientist, the main goal should be to invent a new serum

Look I'm gonna get Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 and 2 and Ace Combat 7 before the steam sale ends. Does anyone else demand I buy anything or what. And should I be getting them for playstation instead

my parents got a "vseebox" TV box for christmas. it seems to let them see all sports and streamers for free and it has every movie on it even ones still in theaters (cam rips but still) i haven't been able to find information i trust online about a thief box like this. are they going to go to jail

i think i'm a bad cook. i get bored of eating the same 10 dinners so yesterday i thought i would try a Recipe and it came out laughably bad

I know Larian said they're not doing any Baldur's Gate 3 DLC but I think they should do some anyway. I want to play more of that game, but without having to start a new game

They should come up with things to say everything in the California state flag represents, like they should come up with something for the 12 tufts of darker grass. "The 12 dark tufts of grass represent California's 12 beloved and scenic grassy areas"

i like to think about how stuff gets made and one thing I particularly like to think about is trying to figure out how many machines back you have to go to somebody standing there physically building it with sheets of metal and a welding torch or whatever

at theater for Marty Supreme despite not really wanting to go to a movie, in order to fulfill a tradition no one but me cares about in which I go to see a movie about a stressed-out guy on New Year's Day, following Uncut Gems and Red Rocket

The scene from the X-men movie where Magneto pulls the iron out of the guy's blood and forms it into two balls that he whips around the room to break out of prison but he accidentally blasts one of the iron balls through his own skull fully decapitating himself

Think I might look back in anger later

New, happy. Year, that is

In 2026 I will become the mayor of New York City

The freakiest time of year, if you live in central time zone, is the hour after the Times Square ball drop before it's midnight for you. There are no good signifiers for new years in any other US time zone. Only the ball drop. So it's an hour of limbo

I wish I knew how to make an egg bigger than before

All parents love to watch a TV show where John Stamos and the property brothers remodel somebody's garage. It's all they watch
