I don't always crave food from the Midwest, but when I do it's usually a one-two combo of a taco pizza and a Happy Joe's special from Happy Joe's Pizza.

"In America, we fetishize misery. We treat suffering like a virtue, and it’s not. We live in the wealthiest country in the world. We don’t have to live like this."

I cannot believe I slept on the March Xness bracket this year. 90s Sad Songs? marchxness.com The current Hootie vs Cranberries match-up is a nail-biter.

One thing I like about Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is they give all the characters way more room to breathe. Aramaki is even more cunning. Also the Tachikoma units get way more philosophical—there’s one episode that is basically them doing freshman Philosophy 101 the entire time.

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

Nearly everything on our store shelves is transported by diesel-powered semis at one point or another. Those price increases will be passed along to the consumer, just like tariffs.

Weird how they posted a blank picture! This series deserves zero attention and everyone involved should feel bad. I hope it loses all the money.

when the programmer who worked on simcity actually implemented the city income calculation logic based on the design doc was he doing maxis taxes praxis

The real theme of the modern age is "Nobody Wants This". AI, ICE in airports, ICE in general, the Iran War, data centers sending actual cities wiht people into blackouts -- "nobody" wants this. And yet here we are.

Good thing our economy doesn’t depend on networked computers at all or this would be a spectacular own-goal. (Holds hand to earphone) Folks… well I hope your current gear doesn’t break anytime soon.

All of this talk about placeholder imagery in software reminds me of when I used to do edutainment software. My go-to sound for audio was Parker Posey in "Party Girl" saying "He-he-hello." It's quite overwhelming when it's EVERY sound in the app. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfQn...

Excellent essay by @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social on @aftermath.site. So glad to be a subscriber here. And oh crap, there's merch! I don't need a new hoodie... I don't need a new hoodie... I don't need a new hoodie...

Last night "The Blood Waters of Dr Z" was on the #MST3K Forever-a-Thon, and it was one I've never seen before. The six-wheeled "amphibious" car was a particular highlight for me, I think I remember seeing it for sale in the back of comic books. What a strange film. Florida, you OK down there?

Many of you of a certain age will remember the Terror Alert Level that John Ashcroft would raise and lower depending on how Bush's polling was going that week. This vague "All Americans should be alert" message is like that, only dumber.

This jackpot sucks!

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

It's just one damn thing after another with these clowns. But when you summarize it like this, no wonder a lot of us are having trouble sleeping... (The paragraph of timestamps and conflicting declarations is my favorite, if we can have favorites in this)

Started my day by having two ridiculous dogs try to lick me to death and steal part of my banana. Highly recommend.

If there is one thing I’ve learned is that if a project is struggling, adding a bunch of new trainees always helps, especially if they’re being paid and you’re not, and they’re the reason you’re not being paid

Reading an older book written before cellphones were ubiquitous. One of the pieces of advice is to make sure that people will have your temporary phone number while you're on vacation. I wonder how that reads if you've always had the same number in your pocket for years.

Country that plans to host the world cup in 2 months: We are replacing all airport staff with our most violent high school dropouts

The #MST3K forever-a-thon is currently airing "The Starfighters." Curious film, basically a long ad for Lockheed's F-104 Starfighter, a notoriously terrible plane. Also somehow featuring future Senator "B-1" Bob Dornan (terrible for different reasons). So many refueling scenes. So many.

I'm your beeeeeaan dealer, I believe we can reach the morning liii-ight...

Regarding my last two reposts: doing grants with my local chapter of the @awesomefoundation.org is one of my favorite things that I do. There are so many creative ideas out there where just a wee bit of funding can help them blossom. www.awesomefoundation.org

Announcing the March 2026 Awesome Portland People's Choice Winner: The Porch Commons It started with a simple question at a bus stop. "What would you say yes to?" From there it has grown into a tool library, common space, coffee, and dog-rating scale. peerysloan.com/the-porch-co...

Tonight on the #MST3K forever-a-thon, it's once again The Pumaman, one of the all-time great experiments. 🎶 Dick's... Red Owl... Selection and service! 🎶 Vadinho gets third billing but he's carrying this film.

So when he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you were cool with that? When he made fun of a handicapped reporter, you were cool with that? When he had a mob attack the capital to steal the election, you were cool with that? But now gas is expensive so you regret your vote? Yeah?

There was an episode of LEVERAGE about the assholes who run cheerleading competitions and I think that was the angriest the writer's room had ever been.

I listened to this A LOT when it came out. youtu.be/akggf50-mRI?...

One of my favorite Conan bits: the cold open for when he took over The Tonight Show. The logistics alone! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OI6...

Conan O'Brien was the best at late night, the timing on this is fantastic. Getting up, the slow walk to stare at the back of the set. So good. "I think we should go to commercial..."

Hi! I don't think Toho has a bsky so I'll post it - my first commissioned work for all the official Godzilla channels and I handmade everything that isn't a toy. Enjoy xo

Reminder: there are a *very* limited number of copies of this 280 page compilation of cartoons from 2020-2025, and an even more limited number of special signed edition copies. Since this was a DIY Kickstarter effort there's not going to be a second printing! www.tomtomorrowstore.com

Sorry but EVEN if you disregard his history as a Blackwater mercenary and his Nazi tattoos (you shouldn’t) you can tell Platner isn’t good because if he were the entire Democratic Party apparatus would be frying him like an ant under a magnifying glass. Instead the Pod Johns are waxing his ass.

At last, George HW Bush throwing up on the Japanese prime minister has been eclipsed. Great work, tremendous content.

On tonight's #MST3K forever-a-thon, it's Master Ninja II. This one lacks the Master Ninja Theme Song, but it does have a plucky union organizer and some motocross in the first half. Then the second episode has both David McCallum AND George Lazenby. Return to van-based action shows.

Great article about this campaign! Asking "What if we didn't suck?" and making a campaign to answer the question came very close to winning in a crowded field and with millions spent attacking her. I look forward to what Kat (and Heater!) do in the future. For now, I hope they get a chance to rest.

Who can I send money to in order to make this happen?

Nah just spend a few billion more, I’m sure it will find some use any day now.

Just as long as the original Stan Bush soundtrack carries over. Fight To Survive is perfection and I shall not hear a word against it. deadline.com/2026/03/a24-...

Not sure what made me think of it, but I couldn’t stop humming the end theme of Police Story just now. Jackie Chan’s stunt team: we have a cardboard box, that’ll be enough, right? youtu.be/zesw_PvaJkc?...

Somewhere in my drafts is one I had about how I needed to put more baked potatoes into my life. Clearly this is a sign. Load 'er up!

I really wanted Kat to win not only for her excellent positions, but because her campaign felt like the prototype for all campaigns I want to see in the future. What if they were a third space? What if they helped people other than just knocking on doors? What if the campaign had a giant skeleton?

Venezuela win got me like:
