Honestly, I think the dude really does have that weird pride thing NYC folks have and he hates that he's now considered a persona non grata there. So when the mayor-elect from the city showed up and behaved civilly to him, it overrode every other bit of kayfabe in his pudding brain.

Unearthed by Lil Bro. Taken in 1975 at a photo booth at either the Prudential or John Hancock Building.

Got me a movie, I want you to know! Slicing up eyeballs, I want you to know! Girlie so groovy, I want you to know! Don't know about you, but I am un... Chien! Andalusia!

Manufacturing (Lack of) Consent

Giving Neon Inferno a shot. Absolutely stunning spritework and animation, but that Wild Guns/Dead Connection multiplanar shooting thing has never felt right and it doesn't here. I appreciate the desire to innovate, but it's a mess in practice.

If I was the Texas GOP, I'd have done some performative huffing and puffing over the redistricting getting blocked, and privately thanked the stars for the save. Because the new map was drawn up before 11/4 upended (always terrible) assumptions about 2024 GOP gains.

So much of the present bullshit has the character of a cancer patient in hospice care talking about their grand plans for the upcoming decade. Some of it might be alarming, but it's ultimately the death rattle of the doomed.

oh no

Did not expect that moving up from a GTX 3050 to an RTX 4050 would force me to cap the frame rates for certain games (including Fallout 4 of all things) via the Nvidia control panel to keep them from getting ahead of themselves, so to speak.

Locals in the Boston/North Shore area! If you or anybody you know is looking to adopt a dog, there are many in need!

I am smitten with the idea of someone saying "So who won the election? I was watching Herman's Head last night instead of the news coverage."

Thus was Bill Clinton's ascension to the highest office in the land celebrated. (October 31, 1992)

my favorite post-kill quip from that one Arnold Schwarzenegger flick where he played the the proprietor of a family run electronics store put out of business by an evil big box chain and its legion of polo-shirted assassins such a mindblowing use of a toaster oven, too

The only king I acknowledge.

Pretty good finds today: - two 1992 syndicated episodes of Night Flight - a March 1993 ep of Friday Night Videos - two 1992 eps of the Best of Ed Sullivan - another 1992 episode of The Edge - a Halloween 1992 airing of the 1983 pop-doc The Horror of It All with John Carradine, Roger Corman, etc

this...was not one of her better style changes

The difference between crypto snd beanie babies is that at least you could placate a three year old with a 75 cent bagged beanie baby while shopping at Savers after the value collapsed.

if we must have these kinds of headlines, there should be a law forcing outlets to use them for ALL products "We smeared three fistfuls of fragrant shit on our behinds to find you the best bidets"

LIVE FROM GOLGOTHA

Some 1993 NBC Tonight Show VHS transfers are popping up. They're still early in the year, but I'm hoping that later one might have some very early Late Night with Conan eps on there, because I've only seen a handful available thus far.

I think about this sequence a lot RE: the effect These Times have had on my temperment.

I once explained to a baffled Gen Z IT guy how PCs and Windows used to be pretty open systems where you added the good stuff rather than throttled the crappy aspects.

OK. Here we go gang! BOGO FREE ALL PIN UP PENCILWORKS SALE! rspinups.blogspot.com/2025/11/blac...

It would be pretty hilarious if the only successful prosecutions of the admin's little witch hunt ended up being for two of the dudes who had a direct hand in enabling it.

casting Claire Danes as the voice of Abigail Adams is a huge misfire from my perspective, because Adams had the tendency to sound like a bright but pretentious HS sophomore and pairing that with Angela Chase's voice means a lot of eyerolls and guffaws on my end

"Instead of the Epstein files, the Dems should be pushing [other thing]!" Look, if your enemy is shit scared of a single infantryman named Stinky Bob, you put Stinky Bob in the vanguard. Stack all your fancy cavalry and grenadiers you wanted to behind him, but lead with your most effective unit.

“It can’t be a bubble because the folks selling overpriced shovels to rubes digging for imagined gold in the middens are making money hand over fist!”

Happy Dazzler Day to those who celebrate! (X-Men #130, featuring Dazzler's first appearance, on sale date: November 20, 1979)

Me: *does direct SSD swaps to almost identical laptops* Nearly every other installed game and emulator: No worries, bro. MAME:

"It's freshly squeezed from my own udders!"

Me, dropping the Kid off at junior high in 2019: Have a great day and don’t let The Man drag you down! The Kid: THE MAN DOESN’T EXIST! Me: That’s exactly what The Man wants you to think!

what we are seeing happening to their so-called "revolution" now was described by Washington in 1776

William Brewster, one of the original Mayflower passengers and an ancestor of mine, had daughters named Fear and Patience and sons named Love and Wrestling.

There are four types of guy online. No exceptions.

"One White House official admitted, 'The Democrats are going to come to regret this' Except this is where the Dems' loose confederation is an asset, because every Dem pol is loved and hated by different parts of the base. With the GOP, every hit is to the vitals.

The general gist of what I’ve been doing for the past decade has been to revisit and reconnect with the tapestry of my pre-30s existence. The one consistent takeaway is the realms that seemed so huge then were actually pretty small in hindsight, with the exception of music.

if Image Comics & TSR had a merger in 1993

So that’s 172 to 112 of the MTV’s 1993 Top 200 Videos of All Time in the can.

fresh reaction image (from the MS-DOS game Zeliard) for you

All right, more of MTV’s Top 200 Videos of All Time countdown dropped. And with episodes of Liquid Extract, Week in Rock, and that viewer write in show Jon Stewart hosted for a while in the middle of it.

The Revolution doc is reminding me how much I dislike the nearly all of the Founding Fathers and other Big Figures for being institutionalist conservatives. Fuck Washington, John Adams, Hamilton, Hancock, Franklin, etc. I’m with Paine, Sam Adams and “the Mob.”
