it makes so much sense that The Holdovers was written by a guy who wrote for Pete and Pete, damn. what a film!

you know what time it is 🎄 (shoutout @ianriccaboni.com)

my favorite thing about McTiernan is that going to prison made him woke www.theguardian.com/film/2023/ju...

December 24th: A partially muscled tiny skeleton stands by the Scrooge residence and screams for thirty seconds before vanishing…

you there boy, what bullshit is this

Man, the economic vibes are putrid

if this isn’t under the tree in the morning they don’t love you

Here's my GOTY thread for 2025: Lot of good shit this year... But I haven't stopped thinking about SKIN DEEP. It's wild. And on sale. You should play it. store.steampowered.com/app/301280/S...

still my favorite christmas post

As a connoisseur of “person on TV annoyingly giving the audience a reading list contextually” this is high tier.

you think about scrooge and he basically gave cratchit reasonably stable long term employment and paid him more or less enough to raise a family on a single income and he's still a fucking villain. today's billionaires are like 10x worse

"All I said, Niles, was that it sounded like the poor fellow could use a night away from life's troubles, how was I to know that the circus WAS life's troubles for him?" "Perhaps his tiny car would have provided some indication? Or did he instead come to your session by unicycle?" "Oh ha HA."

possibly the most annoying (not worst) thing about our present moment of conservative grift being shoved down nearly all media channels is that you’ll never even get these fuckers to admit to screwing up. they suck at this, will never cop to it, and are heavily shielded from consequences anyway

i'm watching this now and it's exactly the kind of brain-smoothing entertainment i needed today

Laura Palmer's Theme

Anyone else just hear this lyric banging around their heads all the time these days

love 2 make jokes on this website

excited to bust this out again soon (and to see the new toggle switch jam controller + games at magfest next month!)

holy fucking SHIT

this is hakeem. hakeem is offering up a pre-written post disconnected from what is currently in the news. it has no resonance and seems robotic. this is ted. ted is referencing an event happening right now and of relevance to millions. be like ted. not like hakeem.

The weirdest thing about prompting is how it’s phrased as instructions when it’s absolutely clear that LLMs can’t follow instructions. It sets up a dynamic of guaranteed failure that turned me off immediately and permanently.

rewatching an old fave and BANG graham linehan jumpscare

he would torture people for fun if he had the authority

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Even the ring? No way

the most wretched person in your elective poli sci class is now plastered across everything with new details of her massive intellectual and moral shortcomings. But then again, she is worth millions. it is decidedly a mixed outcome

Garry Newman of Garry's Mod is letting me host a mirror to the original video here: cdn.sbox.game/asset/814e5f...

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

JIM CAMERON LOOKING AT ANY MARINE: this guy is so stupid. servant of the empire. idiot. i'm gonna make him look SO cool. that'll really get his ass

this is cute but DAMN i didn't know they let you stand inside the ring during solstice, that owns

SCOOP: Flock left at least 60 of its AI-powered, people-tracking surveillance cameras exposed and livestreaming to the open internet. We tracked ourselves. The exposure highlights the power of these cameras and types of things they're tracking. Not just cars. www.404media.co/flock-expose...

Thanks to Anania and the team for having me on Gaydar last week! I think I did an okay job under pressure!!!

From: Politician You Gave Money To 17 Years Ago Subject: ONLY YOU CAN SAVE MY LIFE RIGHT NOW Hi John, Last November, I got my shit kicked in by conservative candidate Maysyn Featherwhite, the upstart leader of Georgians for White Christ. I'm not sure what happened but $100 would hit right now.

@maffewgregg.bsky.social wait you're actually going to magfest holy shit??

I didn't think Bari Weiss would fuck up this badly so quickly and I apologize for underestimating her. I promise to do better* in the future *assume she will promptly fail in a cartoonish manner e.g. getting crushed by a piano and then her teeth are replaced by the piano keys

love this but also REALLY love that Iris by Goo Goo Dolls is I think the only song from the 90s to crack the top 50 most popular songs on the platform

10:02am post another teaser 👍

A lot of people like to post that journalists should quit their jobs when stuff like this happens. It can be hard for rank and file. It is not as hard for millionaire TV personalities.

Today I made a candy glass sugar cookie based on Ellsworth Kelly's 'Austin' chapel (2018) on the Blanton Museum grounds.

had to give it another go, it's been too long
