Ernest wins the Hunger Games

my Uber is here

So I've now seen 13 of the DC live action films post-Nolan's Batman trilogy. This is my personal ranking. Wonder Woman Superman Birds of Prey The Suicide Squad Shazam Supergirl Wonder Woman 84 Aquaman The Batman Suicide Squad Batman V Superman Justice League ZS's Justice League

So I saw Supergirl today. That's the post.

Are Sgt. Pepper and Dr. Pepper related? Are they the same person?

The other day I woke up laughing because I was dreaming and I felt like I was for some reason both watching and participating in a music video for "Another One Rides the Bus" while sitting next to Weird Al as he's singing with a very serious look on his face and I couldn't help but laugh.

Maybe I'm just too whatever but I don't want bacon jam on really anything.

JACK: Lemon, we have a new product that you'll need to advertise on your show, it's called ChatGPeacockT. Only problem is it always suggests the user takes meth, so I'm off to Washington to get that legalized. LIZ: What, did you get Big Balls to make an AI program for us?

Avocados. I guess if y'all wanna put green slime on your toast you do you but I tried it and it's not worth it.

I fuckin' love Xenogears

One of the saddest songs I know, about Kim's mother's struggle with dementia, just the name of the song "Are You Mine" is heartbreaking. This is an older recording, a little more raw than the version on her 2024 album, which is also excellent.

Pre-"Cannonball" Breeders on Letterman. Fun seeing Jim play timpani (and it looks like Jo wasn't able to make it?)

When I was in college there were some movies my friend group watched over and over - Austin Powers, The Wedding Singer, and Swingers. Of the three, I can't for the life of me remember the plot, the character names, or really anything except "you're so money" from Swingers. Totally forgettable.

I think we may have lost the human race. Like, we didn't even medal.

Introduce yourself with 10 acts you've seen live: The Breeders R.E.M. Weezer Busta Rhymes The Cardigans De La Soul David Bowie Prince Smashing Pumpkins Pixies

We should create a new AI model that can create prompts for AI. Prompting is too difficult and time consuming. Plus, this way human error can be completely deleted.

Just wanted to say that I love this video.

Dozing and had the beginning of a dream where a woman I don't recognize reminisces about a character named Hogwash who I think is supposed to be Arnold Horshack from Welcome Back, Kotter.

everything the administration is doing is a distraction from epstein and it's working

It's funny being a wrestling fan with the news of Ted Turner's death. A lot of wrestling fans think of Turner's handling of WCW as the zenith of his life and career, and, like, no. His empire is so much bigger than WCW ever was, like orders of magnitude bigger.

I will buy *at least* 10 boxes of boosters if the next Magic: the Gathering Universes Beyond set is "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin" Probably closer to 50 boxes.

In just over a half hour the Classic Doctor Who Youtube channel is going to premier VENGEANCE ON VAROS, widely considered one of the best 6th Doctor stories, a great satirical take on the future of reality TV (from an episode from the '80s, no less) and a great villain in the dreadful Mentor Sil!

Fun fact: I bought the Mod Squad soundtrack just because this song was on it. (don't remember if I listened to any other songs on that soundtrack)

Imagine being upset that Anita Sarkeesian was a consultant on Slay the Spire 2 in 2026 for fuck's sake.

Conservative Superman tells the guy getting stomped by Lex Luthor "Why don't you pull yourself up by your bootstraps instead of relying on superheroes?" and then later that day Conservative Superman votes for Lex Luthor to be president.

The best is NewsRadio, which did an episode where the radio station was in outer space, and they also did an episode where the radio station is on the Titanic (very sad episode as that was Phil Hartman's last one).

@foldablehuman.bsky.social has a new video that's so powerful my Roku player crashed 3 times so I had to watch on my PC instead!! (Get the Certification Dude to see if that's a record) Another great video essay from Dan Olson

I'm trying to think of any sequel albums that are great. Madonna is releasing Confessions on a Dance Floor 2 this year, I loved the original, but I can't help but think this one will be a letdown.

It's amazing what can trigger an emotional response. This photo from Artemis II brought me to literal tears. This is absolutely stunning.

Like, this is a wonderful moment. But I just don't think "peak masculinity" is something to strive for. I think, for me, I'd rather be "peak Rexx" - be the best person I can be (and I often fall short) without needing to conform to whatever "masculinity" is supposed to be (as it changes over time)

The deepest philosophical question from Beavis and Butthead was "Why do they call it taking a dump and not leaving a dump?" I think about that often.

If the Yugioh anime was for Magic instead, would Joey Wheeler be all excited to play a Craw Wurm?

If you want to be absolutely true to the source material, Urza should be equipped with 2 skateboards. One in each hand.

OK, I think I got it figured out. When AI becomes dominant in the job market, I'll get my own AI to be hired instead, and I'll be the one cashing my AI's paychecks. I'll be fine, I'm sure that's how this is gonna work.

@swb808.bsky.social Lucifer's Switch Don't know why, just popped in my head this morning and made me laugh to myself.

When you were a teenager, wasn't it just amazingly eerie when you were in a high school after dark, especially if it wasn't the high school *you* attended?

This album rules. That's the post.

New video just dropped - not sure how many Magic people are still in my follows here but after the loss of Kai Budde this video by Hungry on Plane (@pastrytime.bsky.social if I got it right) really celebrates him. Give it a watch, this channel could be the next Walking the Planes or The Magic Show.

A character named Total Recall, but no reason given why.

English is the dumbest language because how are you gonna stick two "V"s together and call it a double "U"? Like, they're English words to describe the English alphabet, and they get it wrong.

So I only started listening to Joni Mitchell fairly recently. My favorite song of hers is "Free Man in Paris." I felt great about my interpretation of the song, that it's Joni longing for a simpler time when she can freely sing whatever she wants in Paris over what her label wants from her.

I think another not talked about positive from the women's hockey debacle is that more people now know that Flavor Flav's first name is Flavor, and not Flava.

Multiversus died because they never added Fred and Daphne as playable characters.

Where am I not now?

Watching a playthrough of Xenogears and got to the part where the main character is talking to God, and God's like "man, you're life kinda sucked, and I was likely the reason for a lot of that, sorry" and he replies "All good, God, I got this"

I don't believe ICE is done in Minnesota and they certainly aren't done in the US. And they've come in and destroyed a lot. There are tens of thousands of neighbors that need to be returned. There are reparations that should be made to the people and businesses most effected by ICE's actions.
