I had grocery store sushi from wegmans last night for $24, which would have been about $35 at Omen… a reasonable markup for being a paying the rent in fucken soho. Nobu Malibu would have run me almost $75 which is what I paid last night for a week’s groceries, including the sushi.

A few years ago at Christmas, my sister gave my brother in law a pair of new slippers and as we were unwrapping gifts, he was like, huh, I don’t really wear slippers, you want them? And I said solemnly, I shall treasure them always. I wear them still.

Right now in a bunker somewhere in DC, Nazi scientists are hard at work coming up with some kind of ultra pardon they can use to get the Sacklers and Purdue Pharma out of their multibillion dollar judgement before RFK bans naloxone

So I just got out of TRON:ARES and I think that if this movie is for you, it’s very for you. If you know what a RECOGNIZER is, or if you’ve ever met your friends with “greetings, programs!” you’ll probably enjoy the movie, and maybe even forget Jared Leto sucks for a little while.

This morning when I picked up the dog at the retirement place, some ultra corrupt NYC union boss was on Fox in hysterics about mamdani and he said something like “you know the Kurt Russell movie, escape from New York? If he wins. It’s going to be escape from New York 2”. It nearly made me do arson.

A habit I picked up a while ago from watching the show STRIKEBACK of all things, is when I’m playing a shooty game with friends in voice chat, I’ll report “changing” so my friends will know I’m changing magazines and there will be no bullets from me for a few seconds.

Thinking this morning about how 1000 years ago, there were a bunch of undeveloped wooded lots in the neighborhood and the one on the corner of the next street over across from the park had a little trail loop with a couple of sick jumps for a 9 year old kid on a bmx bike from toys r us.

Recently, Dunks started putting their $6 breakfast sandwich and hash browns deal in a little happy meal box. Initially it was regular Dunks colors, and I thought to myself, man, we need to bring back the concept of the LUNCH PAIL, and my dudes, someone at Dunks was right there with me.

Chat is it a bad sign when you’re already so depressed that even watching a last week tonight story about fascism can’t make you more depressed? Asking for a friend

Hi, I know it’s been a long ass time, but we finally put out another episode of A Riverdale Runs Through It for your listening pleasure. I think Matt posted it last night, so it should be available wherever you go to listen to us descend into madness.

I admit I’m not a fancy Illinois lawyer, but it seems like the Illinois State police and Illinois national guard should both be available for @govpritzker.illinois.gov to deploy to defend the people of the state from being kidnapped by masked men operating outside the bounds of the constitution.

Well, fuck. I just found out shooting starts in a few weeks with the returning cast of Jumanji and 2manji for Jumanj3 and I feel pretty stupid about being excited for it, but like. They all seem to be having so much fun doing it, how can you not love them.

One Batou After Another

I wonder why they haven’t brought back smoking on airplanes and in restaurants, just to show they have the power to do something literally everyone alive hates.

It’s amazing living in 2025. I just saw a The Who sticker on a Mercedes suv and it made me wonder whether it was Daltrey or Townshend that suddenly shaved their head and got a swastika tattoo. Not if one did, but which one it was.

I can tell I’ve been physically and emotionally exhausted because I totally missed posting on Friday, anyway, I’m late, it’s October 7, sue me.

Release the Epstein files, sure but also, who took over the business? You figure a money printing operation of that scale just kind of folded up and went away? That all the ultra rich and powerful people with unlimited resources to spend abusing children just…stopped doing that?

For the last month or so, I had been EXTREMELY excited about the new nine inch nails music for Tron 3, and I’ve taken my time to enjoy it and gather my thoughts. Friends, it is very good. It is not as good as Daft Punk on Tron 2. Outside of that shadow, it’s all we’d be talking about.

If you see this, quote with your first anime

It’s pretty wild that the law enforcement experience of the current director of the fbi is that he watched like an episode and a half of the robocop tv show and later wrote a letter to ABC complaining about seeing Denis Franz’s butt on NYPD Blue even though he wasn’t allowed to watch the episode.

I just heard @schumer.senate.gov on tv and it made me so angry to think that this is the guy who decides whether or not anyone is actually going to fight to keep republicans from killing me, and just like 2016-2020 he has decided no, we’ll wait until things get so bad they spontaneously get better.

Dear @schumer.senate.gov, I am a registered Democrat in New Jersey, and apart from the way you’re completely mentally unequipped to handle this moment in time, the thing that makes me saddest to be a democrat right now is the constant barrage of scammy fundraising texts.

holy shit

While I am not their Stargate curator, I am happy to be yours if anyone wants to do this as well. SG1 and SGA both alternate back and forth between prime (currently) and Netflix. The tv movies are a little more elusive, some might be rentals, but but I would love to take friends on this adventure.

Nihilism, their desire to burn down society, isn’t politically neutral. It’s because they think society exists to benefit the people they hate.

Anyway before you accept this bullshit idea that edgelord is a politically neutral ideology you might consider that the most famous edgelords you’ve heard of are guys like Elon musk and Stephen miller, who discovered they hate women and minorities at a very young age, and decided never to grow up.

The continued existence of the modern fire department in America can be taken as proof that Ben Franklin’s mom has killed at least as many republican time travelers as Abraham Lincoln’s mom.

The sign at a local church reads “THE BEST VITAMIN FOR A CHRISTIAN IS BI” and I’m stuck between it being a bi visibility day thing (unlikely), or them not having numbers for the sign and imagining Jesus being like “hey yo, pharisees, get you some thiamine asap”

This is my new group salutation. I haven’t used “ladies and gentlemen” for a long time, (holy shit it’s over 10 years) and it’s nice to finally have a good replacement

It’s not shocking that our trillion dollar war crime factory is making war crimes, but it is pretty shocking that they’re just openly murdering civilians with no justification when they could just as easily interdict these boats and brag/lie about how much imaginary fentanyl they stopped.

If you’re a certain age, you may remember using an analog dial to tune in to terrestrial FM radio back before such a thing as satellite radio forced us to differentiate. So while the station might broadcast at 106.3mhtz you might be dialed in at 106.2 and it would be fuzzy. That’s how I feel today.

It must suck living in NYC and having to know what Ross Douthat looks like just in case you ever see him, so you can uphold your moral obligation to punch him so hard his grandfather’s teeth fall out.

Friends, I’m shaken to the core. For thirty years, I’ve been using “framistat modulator” as an imaginary car part that will cost me thousands of dollars to repair, and I believed I must have saw it in the episode of TNG where the Ferengi take the ship and Riker uses fake technobabble to stop them.

It’s been kind of a grippy socks day for me, but there’s under four hours left before new nine inch nails tron music, and I just spent half an hour on the floor snuggling with my sister’s dog, so I guess I have that going for me.

Shirahigebashi and a tower that refuses to get lost.

Friends it is once again time for absolutely bonkers herrs chips flavors. May science have mercy on my ghost. The first two flavors I’m willing to attempt are Smoked Brisket and Loaded Queso. They also had “Tomato Pie” flavor, but calling pizza “tomato pie” is some Hague level bullshit.

Are you ready? It’s Nine Inch Nails Eve my friends. My plan is to rock the fuck out to TRON:ARES tomorrow, even if the world is burning.

I’ve now seen two videos of Kash Patel talking, and it is unfathomable to me that this man walks the streets without every person he encounters punching him in the face until authorities arrive and force them to stop. Just everyone. Grandmas. Children. Shop clerks. He is so fucking vile.

Me with alarms to wake up for work: Primary Alternate Contingency Emergency Also me waking up for work:

lol, I’m not even racist enough to guess what slur trump calls kash patel directly to his fucking face every time they talk

I think my favorite Robert Redford movie is SPY GAME where he’s cia officer moments away from retirement when his protege gets in trouble and needs his help, despite the rest of the agency’s best efforts to stop him. It’s very good, worth throwing your preferred service a couple of bucks to rent it.

Buddhists colloquially refer to suffering as the yurt locker.

Now I keep thinking about if jorts existed for 1700 years before they were called jorts, the bros could have been building Hadrian’s Wall in jorts. Chilling out at Chichén Itzá in jorts. Riding the steppes in jorts.

Merriam-Webster says jib as the triangular sail dates back to 1661, although the Greeks used triangular sails starting in the late 1st century BCE. Still, almost 500 years is a pretty good run. Jorts has only been around since ~1995 although I suppose people have been wearing them much longer.

No one knows what a jib is anymore, so I've started saying I don't like the cut of your jorts.

I’m confident I’m the only person alive who remembers TIME TRAX, and maybe I was a #teen at the time, but I remember loving that dumb show about a future cop hunting future criminals who escaped to the present

lol, the gun the fbi found is definitely registered to the kid’s cop dad, and they still couldn’t find him before his dad turned him in

It's only political violence if it's perpetrated against the ruling class. Otherwise it's just sparkling fascism.
