"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

Writing letters about how great you are so you can tap dance in front of people so they may let you use their library is hilarious. Apparently “I am not a sad, insufferable clown and I will not hit on you nor talk to you” is not an acceptable cover letter in and of itself. Bummer.

I know that I’ve been in big kid land with all this life stuff, but I didn’t know there was a new CE. I adore the trashy, fun of the original, at least the first season, but that second one was a struggle bus. I’m morbidly curious about this!

Patlabor: The Movie

Spoiler: The entire film is about dealing with minimum required distribution timetables.

Wow, RIP. My father played guitar for him for several years. Jimmy Cliff, Jamaican reggae singer, actor and cultural icon, dies aged 81 www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

RIP Udo Kier.

I’m flying home from a conference and feeling like my days as a teacher are numbered. But I’m also working on building a sentry bot with a flamethrower, so…

A 40 minute podcast with three ad breaks, and reads, is just a reminder that the “radio disease” can ruin any medium

Ooh! Airplane has Cloud by Kiyoshi Kurosawa on the inflight system.

Yes, this was immediately where I went with this when I saw it in person…

Here’s a Sony Trinitron that somebody threw in the dirt by our hotel. Denver physical media fans? Get on over to the Hyatt House Denver Airport branch and get you a dirty CRT.

Having the fantastic actor from Tokyo Vice (second season really brought it) star in Taxi Driver S3 as a gangster? Total gift

Taxi Driver season 3 is live. Hell yes!

Ride home last night had some VIBES

Good news everybody!! I’ve gotten a new job as the head of marketing for Microsoft Teams. I’m very excited to share Teams’ new slogan with you all: “Dear sweet buttery Cthulhu, this festering pile of hot garbage masquerading as software breaks in a new way every single time I use it!!”

Whoaaaaaa

Felt weird and unhappy yesterday, so I built a gesture machine for our administrative assistant at the office They were stoked

Mamoru Oshii’s rendering of Ghost In The Shell is 30 today. This is a film that has lived inside me, and its themes are something I have visited, and revisited, through various periods of my work. I had the pleasure to interview the film’s composer Kenji Kawai. thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

Zoomed in on this dude because 1. That Captain Morgan goat game is top shelf, and 2. Check that passion in those peepers!!

the front of my credit card is peeling off so I designed a custom sticker to replace it

If you have more than 10k followers mutuals should be able to hit a “you’re being weird” button and once it gets to 50 clicks in 24 hours it sends you a pop up like “your friends are concerned. Maybe log off”

Five babies next to me on my last flight. Yowza.

I’m not sleeping in an airport economy lot in a van I’ve turned into a cyberpunk space barge because I studied adaptive reuse and placemaking… you are!!

i hope this causes a reckoning with how much of who gets hired in American journalism is nepotism, pretty privilege, being inoffensive, and flirting with the right people, even when your writing is absolute dogshit

If she “faded away” why the fuck do we have to keep hearing about her

POV: you are a young woman celebrating a recent academic success

Pretty good flights today, including a hilariously high altitude near-miss with a tree in an empty field.

There’s a fine difference between “your friend who says the occasional sharp or mean thing” and “your friend who is constantly ugly and mean.” The second may prove themselves as being unworthy of your friendship and your time. Kicked a few of these out of my life. Better for it.

Relatable for so many reasons

Mr. Heli fan art. Anyone remember that game?

Y’all needed more of this Delica heat.

I’m eating a late lunch and in all honesty the much needed nap is just gonna happen in the damned parking lot

Drove a space egg today.

This! Time to treat the NYT like punkers treat Rolling Stone.

I’ve just had a really weird, long day and I feel rootless and odd. So “2025,” is what I’m saying.

Anybody I know get LASIK? How was it?

trust is neither given nor earned. it forms naturally between people who share the experience of having listened to Skinny Puppy at or after 3 am in the dark by themselves

Y'know, it makes perfect sense that Guillermo del Toro and James Cameron were roommates who introduced each other to Patlabor and Battle Angel Alita.

Dropped my five disc Blu-ray set of blade runner and the spine just ripped open. Discs fine, but it barely fell. Turns out replacement multi-cases are like 20 bucks! Literally can buy it again used for less!

Walked 50 miles this week. Yowza.

“Heavy music teaches us things such as we’re not alone; when life is dark, we do something about it. We’re not just a prisoner to that darkness. But also that our risk fluctuates, that our misery isn’t gonna last forever. There are ways through it.” www.hcn.org/issues/57-11...

This piece of yawn needed an extended version?!

What San Diego hardcore band am I in?

どうしたらいいかなぁ⁈

Capidava was an important Geto-Dacian center on the right bank of the #Danube. After the #Roman conquest, it became a civil and military center, as part of the province of Moesia Inferior (later Scythia Minor), modern Dobruja. #RomanFortThursday 🗡️ #Archaeology #History
