Call me ignorant, but it seems like the main difference of Sony as a hardware company and Microsoft as a software company is that Sony is delaying console rollouts due to AI induced RAM shortages and MSFT is burning their gaming division to the ground with AI.

Brian is, as usual, on the money.

Bond leaving pretty heavily suggests she was skipped over for the lead role, which is such a bad look. This is deeply concerning. www.theverge.com/news/882241/...

Fire up the grill

put it in the Louvre

Let’s fucking gooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Packed theater, a movie I didn’t vibe with and a trio of asshole teens being complete shitheads.

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Two OTs in one day what is happening

Congrats Team Canada

The Escapist, which always ping-ponged between "this site is fantastic" to "how are they still alive," seems to be dead as their ownership pushes it into regurgitating AI slop. A damn shame. There was a time - albeit a long while back now - where that publication was genuinely second-to-none.

Thunder in February. Welcome to Florida, y’all.

Dear game designers, I don’t want to kill dogs. Like, ever. Thanks.

Some pics from today’s trip to Sawgrass Lake State Park in St Pete’s.

Y’all can keep your ice dancing. I’m watching the WUSA hockey team take Team Italy out behind the woodshed.

Special #FridayThe13th post is live at the Boneyard. This week we are lighting up the marquee for Womp Stomp Films incredible Never Hike Alone series. Thanks as always to any who read. open.substack.com/pub/rotundba...

We don’t know what’s going on

This book is fantastic and will make you rethink eating apples but in a good way! I am desperately hoping for the sequel Murder Village Tangelos.

Watched Primate today and imagine, a studio horror film that goes hard from jump with no winky-face moments.

When your post gets in the discover feed

To build on this, the thing about paperbacks back in the day is that they were fucking everywhere. Drug stores, grocery stores, you name it. So if you were on vacation and read all of your books you didn’t have to go far for a new one. For voracious readers like me, this was a godsend.

if Swamp Thing had a cat.

PREACH

Fuck yes, got Jimmy Eat World tickets for November.

I do love Mike Flanagan’s work but I have many questions as to why he’s doing a new version of The Mist. Frank Darabont’s one (especially in B&W) is phenomenal with an ending that is up there with some of the greatest and ballsiest. Not sure what more there is to offer.

Whatever happens during the WUSA hockey match against Canada tomorrow, nothing but love and respect to our neighbors up North.

Kraken winning the Cup. You heard it here first.

They briefly showed two men unambiguously up on each other during that halftime show; legitimately progressive for both the superbowl and for “machismo pop culture.”

Also, for real, it doesn’t have to be Spanish. French, Japanese, ASL, whatever - learn a second language. It’ll enrich your life. Also, continuing to learn as an adult is scientifically proven to help prevent dementia, juuuuuuust saying!

You think of Ring as a way to racially profile black people, but we also find the black people who probably stole your dog.

this whole thing was so fuckin full of love and joy, how can you even stand it

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” MAGA wanted you to boycott this.

these players don't need a COVID shot cause they can't catch shit

You could open up a salt mine from all these posts. Stay mad.

That halftime show is what people mean when they say "joy is an act of resistance."

Didn’t understand a word of the halftime show but loved every minute of it.

Don’t sleep on Stumble, y’all. That shit is hilarious.

Is it me or do those AI with ads commercials feel like the Common People episode of Black Mirror?

So far the best thing about this Super Bowl is that queer af Super Bowl 60 logo.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Game ain’t even started yet and we got singing pubes.

Godfather Godfather Part II Goodfellas

Been rewatching Schitt’s Creek and Catherine O’Hara’s fruit wine ad is fucking amazing. My God she will be missed.

Low water levels in the preserve afforded a rare view of an American Bittern

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

I've never been a conspiracy theory guy, but you're never gonna convince me that there hasn't been a specific cabal of ultra-rich dullards trying to buy, strangle, and bring to heel all of the most important reality-shaping machines since the uptick in power labor had during COVID

Bezos fucked the paper and instead of fixing it he’s destroying it despite the fact that he could spend the money to make things right without even noticing its absence.
