Has anyone pointed out that people in Pluribus won’t harvest plants because it’s “killing,” yet they kill billions of bacteria every time they cook food?

The level of scientific looney tunes in Pluribus S1E1 is insane.

Every year I read about Oscar nominated movies I’ve never heard of. I think I live in what is equivalent to a movie version of a food desert. Anyways, I hope Bug-o-mania and the ham movie lose.

😟

How ashamed of A&M are we? @lewisweil.bsky.social @shambibble.com

Is the Instagram Boomerang effect off-putting to anyone else?

In this new year I want people that use random ass acronyms and abbreviations to just spell it all out.

I saw an article from the Atlantic call the Netflix acquisition of Warner Bros as “apocalyptic.” A lot of Internet chatter with similar dramatic phrasing. I guess cinema-bros rather all movies just be MAGA-themed with Paramount, instead?

I believe the death of movie theaters is an organic market shift. The future may be akin to how not everyone goes to opera or playhouses anymore.

Is there a classification for people that can’t get addicted to things like coffee or watching sports?

No image can do justice to the number of iron golems my son created. Unfortunately, Googling ‘killing iron golems to save our realm’ did not yield a solution.

I can’t sleep. Time to buy used books on Facebook Marketplace and clean my office.

Posting after a few late night tacos and White Claws is not recommended.

I’m convinced these Christmas cakes are AI. Good try, nerds.

Came on here to post my usual gripe but I forgot what I was going to type.

I’ve decided my new clothing style is going to be sweaty John Candy from this totally non-controversial film.

Even if there was a speck of good faith, dummies can’t fully “do their own research” when science is paywalled.

I guess massive news events mean Facebook gets to push bullshit influencers on your timeline at will? I’ve never blocked so many accounts as I have today. I seldom login to that site and it’s bananas.

I don’t ever drink coffee in the morning, but I started today. I got so many things done.

I went to Vegas at the end of July, and if that’s what people and data call ‘empty,’ I don’t want to know what busy looks like. Tacos El Gordo was legit, btw.

I hate podcasts so much.

You think the dumb-dumbs that need to learn what an emolument is are going to look it up? They probably can’t even read.

Still waiting.

I feel like we are experiencing a social recession. We’re going back to the racial and discriminatory problems of the late 20th century. I only hope we don’t sink into a social depression and…well I don’t want to think of the horrors in that scenario.

With Powell being 47’s new Fauci, I’m dreadfully right…again.

After continued tariff reversals, I know now that 47 is just Ted Jones from Pineapple Express and Latinos for Trump is Lady Cop. “Do you have any idea how weak you just made us look.”

Which one is the “I’ve Met” imposter? 1) Stephen Hawking 2) James D. Watson 3) Peter Weller 4) Karl Urban 5) Selena

I’m going to coin the term: fiscal pandemic.

Seeing the “boomerang” video effect on social media posts is off putting.

Someone, please tell me some good news.

This week's "Film Criticism is F**ked and We're All Doomed" is talking about the return of the film bros club. It never really left but it's about to get worse. Now live at The Film Maven.

Do all YouTube thumbnails have to be the same Web-2.5-mouth-agape weirdness? Is this because the algorithm, viewers, creators? Is there any answer? (Remember I don’t really use social media a lot)

Tons of helicopters flying low every night for a little more than a week now. Nothing in the local news that’s I’ve seen. #ValleySky #RGV

It’s a relief when media and entertainment isn’t completely marred by monsters without humanity. I was dejected when James Woods turned out to be a massive ass clown. Videodrome (1983) is such a beautifully prophetic piece of cinema. I dare say one of the most important. Seeing his face sucks now.

I’ve been writing a personal essay about why I never grew up watching Star Wars (1977). My writing has mutated into a bit of an ode to my late dad and how he decided to show me films like Freaked (1993) instead. TL;DR: please follow @alexwinter.com and his starter packs, I’m glad to see he’s here. ✌️

if they want to go back to the 1950s, we’re bringing the cuisine back to the 1950s too. you put me in the kitchen, I will spend 100% of my time in there finding how much horseradish and shrimp I can put in Jello before God personally comes down here to stop me.

For those unfamiliar how grants work: “study sections” are important meetings that prioritize grants for funding. Without these meetings, grant award schedules are essentially frozen. Every place I’ve done research at has relied on NIH grants in some form. www.science.org/content/arti...

“We're a bisexual nation living in denial, all because of a bunch of nerds, a bunch of nerds who got off a boat in the 15th century and decided that sex was something to be ashamed of. All the Pilgrims did was ruin the American Indian orgy of freedom.” - Krysta “Now” Kapowski #SouthlandTales (2006)

Name something you ate as kid that you thought was normal but turns out was not. In the late 1980s, early 1990s, I would eat potted meat as a snack with crackers.

Finally, a text notification from Edinburg ISD and our specific elementary that classes will be canceled Tuesday (January 21). These temperatures are a non-issue with places with winter infrastructure. Some homes don’t even have heat here. #ValleySky #RGV

The way I watch NFL games is by infrequently refreshing my Firefox app after I’ve Googled the team names and do other things.

A head full of “that’s the right thing to do.”

The worst thing about trying to find toys to buy your kids is the adults that buy the toys to hoard and resell on eBay.

From the archives 🗄️

McAllen ISD is doing the right thing with delaying the start of school. Kids need a warm place to be and drivers have little experience with (likely) icy roads. Edinburg ISD on the other hand just basically saying this: 🤷‍♂️, is sadly all we can expect from them. #RGV #ValleySky
