... Upside, my nasal cavity's clean as a whistle!

... Well, uh. I just whipped up some homemade spicy chicken ramen using odds and ends around the fridge & pantry. Threw in some curry roux, because why not? I like a thick broth. ... you know when something gets so spicy it overwhelms all other flavour?

Well, that's a bummer. Unfortunately, the person who'd have driven me to the salon couldn't make it, and I had to cancel Terry's appointment last minute. "Why not uber?" I'm trying to save on money, and uber-ing back and forth for this for a whopping $50+? During the holiday season?

I keep saying that imo Oates didn't roast or eviscerate him, she just told the plain, basic ass truth about him. Just that truth seared him as if an intense UV lamp was dragged across his pasty ass skin.

"Tyranny requires constant effort."

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

you know, I used to believe that old saying, "there are things money can't buy" was kinda bullshit, until I saw this guy. He *obviosuly* wishes to be loved and admired *so hard*, and he believes if he has *enough* millions he will get it, but he's unaware it just simply... doesn't work that way.

Once again reiterating to westerners that not every reader in the world has access to libraries. Which is not to defend piracy or imply everyone pirating lacks access. I'm a writer, & do lose sales to piracy, but care more about structural efforts to devalue our labour than individuals pirating.

Oh my God. This is entirely his pathetic response to Joyce Carol Oates eviscerating him on Twitter, isn't it? What an unbelievably transparent man

spending his fortune on making a computer program crudely simulate what it’s like to have friends, instead of just working on becoming the kind of person that other people can stand to be around

So now everyone is catching the themes of Wicked and are interested in musicals documenting the rise of fascism in America

It's one hell of a self-own to admit you needed millions of dollars in R&D as a substitute for a sense of humour, guy.

Me: [reading Tom Bloom's TTRPG CAIN] "Man... I really need to give Chainsaw Man: The Unofficial RPG a shot."

I have good news and bad news. The good news, I’ve booked a nail trimming session for Terry, at a groomer’s, with private rooms. Perfect for my reactive, neurotic, lad. Bad news, there’re likely going to be other dogs between points a and b. Mmmkay…

me: I hate fighting with people on the internet, it's not fun and I won't do it also me: I will consume endless amounts of other people fighting on the internet, inject that shit directly into my veins

High school core memory unlocked- I just remembered, this was one of the graphic novels they had stocked at my high school's library, alongside the first volumes of Astro City and The Invisibles, Watchmen, V For Vendetta, A Contract with God and Ghost World. I ate *well* in that library, damn.

You all need to see Brotherhood of the Wolf, Cassel plays a verifiable *freak* in that flick.

Love seeing appreciation for The Invitation out in the wild, adore the hell out of that movie.

RIP Udo Kier. Makes every movie better just by his presence. A wonderful actor and also I love how he decorates.

"you know turkey is bad because people only cook it twice a year" you do NOT speak for smoker-owning americans, SIR

Damn if The Phoenician Scheme didn't grow on me.

@doriandawes.bsky.social !

I've continued my Celeste playthrough. ... Gang? I'm falling hard for this game. What an absolute, heartfelt, beauty of a platformer.

the “thanksgiving food is bad” discourse raises its ugly head every year, but the truth remains that thanksgiving food can be amazing as long as you know how to cook. the problem is we’re throwing a few million sunday drivers directly into a grand prix

... well, looked it up. ... Suddenly, I'm a lot less torn up about GAINAX's bankruptcy.

Terry likes the new carpet!

Okay, Terry's back asleep, and I've... apologized, profusely, to the Carollers on his behalf. And may have given them a five dollar tip for their charity box.

Me: [taking a nice, cozy, nap with Terry] Terry: [suddenly bolts upright] Me: "Terry?" Terry: [rushes for the door, barking and howling] Me: "Whoa, whoa, lad, what's the matter-" [looks outside window] Carrollers. Christmas Carollers.

... NEVER MIND. I've been invited by friends for a meal consisting of homemade nachos with equally homemade salsa and shredded chicken. Don't mind if I do!

The Batman & Dracula Trilogy was sick as hell (and almost makes up for the literary travesty that was JLA: Act of God). Batman as a Giger-esque vampire was such an inspired design choice on the part of Kelley Jones and John Beatty.

Every day, I find myself aligning with Anno and Moore when it comes to their bitter relationships with multimedia corporations, and the limitations of art made under corporate environs and restrictions.

I keep thinking of the fact they produced an "EVA: Ayanami Raising Project" sim game that puts you in the role of a grown-ass man who serves as Rei's caretaker, primarily as an excuse to turn said traumatized incest clone girl into a Barbie Doll you can dress up at your leisure.

Let's see... I have chicken, rice, green onions, eggs, soy sauce, and curry spices. ... Homemade chicken fried rice for dinner tonight doesn't sound like a bad idea. Maybe I should skip over to the grocery store and stock up on some essential veggies.

🚨 MORSELS REVIEW 🚨 Would love to get some eyes on this! I know it’s an uphill battle posting about a game with a small footprint post-launch, but I think it’s worth making space for reviews like this. jakesteinberg.substack.com/p/morsels-re...

Last night, before I'd gone to bed, I played the first chapter of Dispatch. Have to say, loved the soft colour palette during this latter portion of the episode, and I dig Aaron Paul giving a more subdued performance than he's typically known for. Playing Robert up as an emotionally repressed...

"Divine Presence To Be Shot" is one of my favourite gags in any Coen Brothers movie.

This is, objectively speaking, unbelievably funny. Woman nukes her world's analogue to Vatican City, lets her people starve (which prompted the religious revolution specifically against her regime in the first place), and abandons humanity to the White Walkers out of spite.

I am at work when I should be home writing about traumatized fairies fucking and committing mayhem in miami

it's literally someone going "I love evil"

this is some DC comics villain shit

Another day, another undiscovered level of administrative pettiness.

You might not think you needed to see Kate Bush dressed as a bat today, but you were wrong.

Learn something new everyday.

I just realized- RFJ Jr looks like a missing puppet from Genesis's Land of Confusion music video.

*What the fuuuuuck-* Why is this so cool?!

God, I love me a good giant theatre puppet.

You want a video about the making of an enormous stage puppet? Course you do
