ELON: christopher nolin is desocrating Homer the Odyssey just to qualify for woke oscars award.. only thing he care is industy clout CHRISTOPHER NOLAN (looking at a bunch of clocks he's modified so they're all going at different speeds): haha yes.... hell yeah...

Tonight’s movie was unexpectedly relevant to this afternoon’s conversation with @segyges.bsky.social: Another risk of using AI to draft legal briefs is your client might accuse you of violating ABA canon seven.

mr nolan make this into a movie next

In retrospect it was ludicrous that a company called “Infocom“ made niche text-based adventure games while “Lotus“ made software to store and manipulate data. Not a serious industry.

“Longlegs” has absolutely ruined the simple joys in life, like cruising around listening to “Bang a Gong (Get It On),” or making handmade Family Annihilator dolls.

Everyone talks about the drum fill from “In the Air Tonight,” but “Piggy” is that same high, pure and uncut, for two minutes straight.

never liked how i'm expected to take pac-man's side without knowing what he did to anger the spirit realm. i don't wanna help some serial murderer or grave desecrator eat a big maze meal. actions have consequences pal. find your own damn cherries

I am not sure these results were responsive to my query.

Apparently they have not yet banned smoking in bars in my hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee, but are doing so on Jan. 1. So for the next seven months, it’s gonna be a knock-down-drag-out between my nostalgia for smoking in bars and my anti-nostalgia for Knoxville. (I guess I could go to Vegas.)

hey john. its your cousin marvin. marvin cage! you know that new sound youve been looking for? well listen to this *hangs up phone*

What a headline. What a lede!

You know what looks good? That new 4K of Body Heat looks good, that’s what looks good.

Win a galley copy of Adam O'Fallon Price's OBJECTS OF DESIRE! @adamoprice.bsky.social

Norm Macdonald’s memoir is not really a memoir, but it is a masterpiece, one of the great books, if you have a particular variety of midcentury brain poisoning. (Kaleb Horton turned me on to this.)

This would be an amazing bit and I kind of wish I’d thought of it in college, it would have killed in the 90s, but to do it sincerely?

Connie & Ted’s is closing! That place was excellent, reliable, and less expensive than Providence. Boo, the inevitable passage of time! Booooooo!

In 1881, a publisher had the bright idea to reprint maps and city directories from a century earlier, and here is how they advertised them.

sometimes the internet is very, very good

Conductor, when you receive a fare, Punch in the presence of the passenjare! A blue trip slip for an eight-cent fare, A buff trip slip for a six-cent fare, A pink trip slip for a three-cent fare, Punch in the presence of the passenjare!

I was led to believe my adult life would be a lot more like this screenshot from Golgo 13, and a lot less like the process of capturing and posting this screenshot from Golgo 13.

Heard from several possible web designers, deleted original post so I don’t get swamped. Thank you!

It‘s a hard-and-fast rule in motion pictures that if a character suddenly shows up in a mostly-white outfit, soon there will be blood. This week’s “Widow’s Bay” illustrates the corollary:

I hate it when people talk to me, and I also hate it when people don’t talk to me, but here’s what I like: Complaining

You don’t hear a lot of talk about Golgo 13 these days. I hope he has found peace.

The new episode of Widow’s Bay is the best yet. Very good show!

Finagled an authentic copy of another book Amazon sent me print-on-demand and once again the quality of the P-O-D version was not even in the same ballpark as the original. I would be completely unopposed to print on demand if it were the same quality as an actual print run; it is not.

Do we think Trump has pre-signed pardons ready to go or will there be a deathbed rush?

You know what movie I have never been able to get out of my head? Tesla. It threw so many strange things at the wall—the iPhones, the karaoke, the bizarre lift from Robert Bly—a lot of them have been sticky.

Finally playing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and I gotta say, playing as a Viking looting and destroying early Christian monasteries in a game that came out at the end of Trump term I is about as political as they’ve gotten since the protagonist was fighting off Crusaders.

This depends entirely on whether the other website is Twitter or someplace that archives the pre-20th century writings of fanatical pamphleteers, inventors of perpetual motion devices, witchhunters general, and other long-dead crackpots!

The Neverending Story is not a great film but the pop Borges stuff at the end is pretty cool. Introduce your children to multi-layer metanarratives as early as possible!

You can talk all about the overinflated promises with AI, the environmental problems, and the artless slop. But I still think the resistance to the tech boils down to the fact that its proponents keep saying they want to use it to immiserate us.

I had forgotten about the pop Borges stuff in the finale of The Neverending Story. It’s never too soon to introduce your children to metanarratives!

There must have been a real surplus of great special effects in 1984 for contemporary critics to complain about Falcor in The Neverending Story. They should all spend some time watching Pierce Brosnan surfing or the sharks in Deep Blue Sea and then give it another look.

You could be watching Three Mesquiteers movies right now, but you’re not. Why is that, Leon?

Frankenstein wasn't just a monster. He was also a doctor who made that monster. They had the exact same name which was "Frankenstein" and that was just one of the many ways that situation was effed the fuck up

Do conservatives have some vestigial memory of all the elections they rigged in the 1870s?

Hey I'm king of the world (Fifty foot Sweeney!) You ought to hear my song (Fifty foot Sweeney!)

I like the modern day stuff in Assassin’s Creed, especially the early games.

Of all the reflexive lies these people tell, the funniest one by far is, “The president has been very clear.”

you know what the real data center is. the human mind. thank you,

1969 Fender Rhodes Student Piano in Avocado Green.

The VCR itself was not a privacy risk but renting videocassettes did give strangers your personal information, it’s just that they rarely had any use for it. For more on this, ask Clarence Thomas!

Never thought I’d be living in a world so shitty that I’d find myself saying WHO CARES ABOUT UFO PICS RIGHT NOW

Okay but the 22-foot tall gold statue I recently built of myself *IS* a false idol and I’m not afraid to say so.

Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” considerably overestimates how many chances I’ve had to trade my passion for glory.

“Wire Mother” and “No More Wire Hangers Mother” are very similar mothers, apart from their feelings about wires.

This weekend, let’s all keep in mind that the “Ziggy Piggy” sundae in ”Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” was inspired by the ”Pig Trough” served at Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor.

We Need a Whole Lot More of the 1588 Edition of the Malleus Maleficarum (And A Lot Less Rock and Roll).
