Yes, collectively it's called the "Beasts of Burden Suite." It's six games. Donkey Kong is the flagship. Then Reindeer Kong. Hm? Yes, not actually a reindeer. Then Mule Kong, then Lllama Kong. Also monkeys, yes. Then Bactrian Camel Kong. That's correct, also monkey. Then Elephant Kong. Yes I'll hold

none of this is legal. none of this is normal. feel free to tell anyone who says otherwise to fuck off.

When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?

no it’s not just weapons and knowing how to fight, there’s more to it than that. really there’s a whole world of warcraft

the shit I care least in the whole world about is whether the story about the Earl of Sandwich is true. yes it fucking was. my man was playing cards and eating meat with his hands and then he said hold up check this out. you won't believe this shit. bring me some fucking bread & hold onto your hats

it's me. the surprise character in Avengers Doomsday is John Darnielle from the Mountain Goats. I murder half the Avengers with my sick rhymes but you have to see the movie to find out which ones

Are you like me and want to watch the short films that might be nominated for awards but don’t know where to start? I’ve got you! Where to watch the short films on the Oscars shortlist, a thread: #filmsky 🧵

Give me a number between 1 and 475 and I’ll give you a film I own on dvd, Blu-ray, or 4K Warning: this includes short film collections. The likelihood of getting a silent short film is very high

Gonna be even more earnest than usual on main, but I wanted to share. Because I have a bunch of pain stuff I was in my thoughts about it, and I said to myself, “I have to show love to my body. My body is doing the best it can.” so if anybody needs this, it made me feel good to say that

what’s up Joyce hear me out on this…Joyce Carol x Goats…cd be very powerful collab…hmu

All of Hollywood is run by a series of billionaire children standing on each other's shoulders in trench coats, and that's not good for culture, my guys.

it’s boys night out. away with ye then, boys. out

gonna get so verified. then all this shit will be official. there won't be a damn thing the man can do about it

I give out cookies to kids at work and I always try to talk to them for a moment. And today some kids gave me cookies they made out of clay as a token of appreciation. I feel like I just won an award

I just saw Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie and it’s a hilarious masterpiece that feels like a miracle. Spoiler free review here: boxd.it/bKQV6L

I’ve seen several Godzilla flicks in the theater over the past few years and you can feel, viscerally, that we are all praying for Godzilla to rise from the sea and give us what we deserve

Dick Cheney was proud to have normalized state-sponsored torture. That, and the dead of Iraq in an unjust war, constitute his entire legacy. “That’s not funny” is a meme-y cliche but I don’t care about the friend he shot or our jokes about it. Cheney is Kissinger level. He made the world worse.

I will climb aboard by any means available however improbable and you will simply never see me again

Look, I appreciate this. TV needs more of this. Let’s have fun again. Seriously things are so bad in the industry and everywhere. Let’s all turn on stuff at night together and go “that was insane” and then surprise there are 20 more episodes and the characters don’t remember being in orbit.

"Now what do you have? You've been imprisoned in the fuckin' moon!" --me, to an opponent who can't hear me, after I cast Imprisoned in the Moon

one way in which Scrabbling Skullcrab and I are similar is that its creature type is Crab Skeleton and so is mine

I have zero fucking sense of humor about this rfk shit. besides the obviously gross misreprestation/othering/etc of autistic people it's catastrophic from any sound scientific POV. any doctor who consults governmental guidelines for anything at all under this admin is guilty of malpractice

oppose woke, have stroke

@themountaingoats.bsky.social announce new album 'Through This Fire Across From Peter Balkan' featuring Lin-Manuel Miranda, Tommy Stinson, and more — hear lead single "Armies Of The Lord"

Watching Inherent Vice and why is Doc giving Torgo from Manos: The Hands of Fate

ok everybody get ready 30tgrs.ffm.to/armiesofthel...

Library haul! So excited to start the Realm of the Elderlings!

you guys if you open the chat on the AP livestream of the now-30-min-late announcement the president's supposed to make, the combination of scrolling trans flags and comments like "he's gone to the big McDonald's ball pit in the sky" will put a smile on your face www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8Dn...

they think they can just erase trans joy and trans freedom. they can't. they can make things a lot harder and more painful. but that joy and that freedom is not theirs to take and it is incumbent on all good people to say so.

Star Wars? more like Star Peace [all earth is silent for an entire hour. gradually, the applause of the world begins to rise, at first like the slightest spray of surf on a shell-flecked beach; but the volume gathers, and increases, as I am carried through the streets of the city, hailed as king,

Unquestionably a war crime. I know we all have fatigue about this, but we have to keep saying it where we can until enough people get it.

Howl’s Moving Cattle. look if I had to think it then you have to read it those are the rules

This fucking rocks.

I’ll tell you this. A favorite campus dining spot closed last semester, with almost no notice. It’s been replaced by a fully automated kiosk. The kids are pissed. Asking all the right questions about labor and human contact and sociality. Some of the kids are alright.

1. (puts on "former pro film critic" hat) The quoted opinion is wildly wrong BUT it is true that the cinematic grammar/storytelling/tech of older films is so different from today's that current audiences have to work to get into them - much like older work in pretty much every other creative medium

we need to change direction and we need to be serious about it

I just finished reading a fiction book for the first time in years and it was This is How You Lose the Time War. Absolutely adored it. Thank you @maxgladstone.bsky.social and @amalelmohtar.com for this astoundingly beautiful book and for helping to get me back into reading again.

70: The Railway Children 71: A New Leaf 72: The Godfather 73: Fantastic Planet 74: The Godfather Part II 75: Barry Lyndon 76: Taxi Driver 77: Close Encounters of the Third Kind 78: Days of Heaven 79: Demon Pond I admit I need to see more 70s movies I have major gaps here.

We’ve said it repeatedly — the Trump assault on the Department of Education is an assault on kids with disabilities. This Ohio district is violating the clear letter of the IDEA but with the Dept of Ed eviscerated and the courts turning a blind eye, parents are on their own.

so close. been doing the same math. it’s actually E=mc^2 x tMG. multiplying Einstein’s equation by the commonly accepted abbreviation for my band unlocks the energy of people buying our merch, which quantizes the azimuth of us getting paid. the future is amazing

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

It’s time for my 300th film of the year. #nw An Elephant Sitting Still

I’m finally starting This Is How You Lose the Time War. I’m so so excited. I know nothing going in. #nr #booksky

I’m trying to deliberately get back into reading. I used to read voraciously as a kid and then fell off of it as an adult. Does anyone have any tips or tricks or recommendations? I want to explore scifi, fantasy, litfic, literature in translation, and books in Spanish. #booksky

FOR THE UNION MAKES US STRONG

This week, I review THE WHOLE DAM FAMILY AND THE DAM DOG (1905), an Edison comedy based on the wildly popular picture postcard that had become a phenomenon across the country. I cover the history of the gag, the postcard craze and the film's uncredited cast. moviessilently.com/2025/08/03/t...

this is a disgrace and a national shame

when I go, feed me to the trench worms. find a way

great things are possible when you physically beat the shit out of fascists

I have the honor of setting down a few thoughts in words about one of the most important musical figures in my life. May he rest in the knowledge that he gave voice to sentiments many struggle to express.
