It be your own petard

Will you turn on the latest episode of The Show About the Show: The Podcast? Say please. What? You heard me.

I’m always emerging scathed

It says “infinite possibilities” on the bag of apples that I get from the grocery store and I’m embarrassed to say I can only think of a few things I could use them for.

I wasn’t big on the episode this week but I can’t deny the magic of this line delivery and resulting screenshot.

Project Hail Mary Sandra Hüller: I am in charge of the space stuff Ryan Gosling:

Caught my viziers conferring in hushed tones again. Probably nothing.

Got a video taken down because we said Dr. Jacoby would be thriving in 2026 conservative media

BREAKING: The White House is out with a new National Policy framework for AI. The proposal says: "States should not be permitted to regulate AI development." It also says that states shouldn't be able to penalize AI companies when people break the law with their models.

This is the exact ratio you want to maintain on social media. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Heartbreaking: the delightful Finnish guy who makes great photoscanning tutorials on YouTube started talking about “wibe-coding” an app 💔

This week on The Show About the Show: The Podcast… Jacoby is a MAHA grifter. Sweet treats for good boys. A beautiful wood-paneled SUV. Case Files | Twin Peaks: The Return - Part 5 | TSATSTP 459 youtu.be/VneHGYJUF2s

Predator: Badlands SNUBBED

The Neighbors show is not making me feel better about any future return of consensus reality.

I talked a little Shat with RHC. Subscribe to hear me try to use the word “tableau” twice in a conversation about William Shatner’s farmer pranking show on Spike TV from 2005.

We finished watching Invasion Iowa! Our 5th episode of Talking Shat (featuring @wistaro.bsky.social) is now available at patreon.com/rockhardcaucus

I can’t believe I made it to this episode without knowing Michael Cera plays Wally Brando, Andy and Lucy’s son. Transcendent. Brings back some memories... | Twin Peaks: The Return - Part 4 | TSATSTP 458 youtu.be/r8n5fLZPGe8

Tired: Dead Internet Theory Wired: Flock of Wolves Theory. Unchecked capitalism has forced out anyone actually creating value, leaving only predatory scammers and fascists.

Messing with the picture settings and eventually hitting the emergency call button on the hospital bed bc I can’t turn motion smoothing off on the tv. Asking the nurse to see if they have a sound bar they could set up.

Days of Heaven might have the most different styles of dog in it of any movie that isn’t about how many different styles of dogs there are.

Joker discourse about how dangerous it is bc young men will become jokerfied but for Frankenstein and Frankenstein’s monster.

Custom 404 error pages are my enemy. Not the right time to be cutesy. “We’re so sowwy, our widdle web elves are working vewwy hard to fix this page!” You’re doing a bad job. 911 dispatchers can’t say “uwu our ambulance is eepy”

If you’re trying to get back into exercising regularly, it’s important to push through any twinges in your knees. You’ve got a lot of ground to make up.

episode 5 of Talking Shat, featuring @wistaro.bsky.social, is in the can - expect release next week

Hey man, I’ve noticed you’ve been falutin’ kind of low lately. Everything okay?

It’s not about the bunny. It’s Twin Peaks: The Return, Part 3. Our friend Evan Jones @violintj.rockhardcauc.us joins us to talk X-Files, conspicuous cars, and the one and only Dougie Jones.

My two dogs have been pissing on the same spot on the concrete, seemingly in a turf war over whose patch it is instead of going anywhere else in the yard. I just realized I’ve been trying to think up a way to tell them it’s not their territory and the answer is pretty obvious.

When Patrick Stewart can’t fit into his Starfleet uniform anymore

It’s our most avant-garde pod yet (I had too many things running on my computer when recording so the video is choppy for the first chunk of the show). See what the mice get up to when the cat’s away… youtu.be/6kDv7kvvCEU

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social I’m two minutes into the Books cold open and rushed here to tell you to look into a Mouth De-Click plugin. I’m sure hundreds of other audio dorks are doing the same, but I’m willing to take the risk in case it saves you hours of editing out Peter’s lip-smacking.

I’ve been laughing imagining someone crashing out in the Great British Bake Off tent so hard it’s actually scary.

yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests

I’m very much enjoying learning about service dogs who flunked out of training partway through. Like they know how to turn the lights on and off but not when or why, so they just hit the switch whenever they feel like it. Ideal companion.

I got to the episode of the X-Files where it is revealed Fox Mulder canonically had sex on top of Arthur Conan Doyle’s gravestone.

Do you want to hear me talk about Twin Peaks: The Return episode 1 with a bunch of other guys? Well, good news! I was on The Show About The Show The Podcast and did just that, and you can find the link below.

This character’s name is Marjorie Green lol

We had @christopherbell.bsky.social on the podcast this week to talk about the first episode of Twin Peaks: The Return. Great episode, great conversation.

(with almost no idea what I'm saying whatsoever) mf thinks he's Telemachus 😑

I’ve always been proud of the show I’ve been producing weekly since 2017, but I have significantly stepped up the production quality of the podcast over the last season because I enjoy it very much. I think it’s cool to make stuff.
