Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

I got to pet a 15 week old puppy. Day made.

Taskmaster is back TONIGHT at 9pm! Things may get awkward… @taskmaster.tv

2025 has been a really bad year for movies.

I find it baffling how little impact the existence of the Undertaker, a literal walking corpse, has had on science and religion

My 13 yo guitar student finally told me what music he listens to. Radiohead. This is a major breakthrough.

One thing about drummers is they're always replaceable. The public might complain but once the band starts playing they don't care anymore. Very few exceptions.

I love that places are not allowing ICE to use their bathrooms. They can shit their pants to be more like their Pedof*le in Chief.

3 fillings at the dentist. No charge. Loving the Canadian dental plan.

My friend’s dad Malcolm Ducker, former RAF pilot, dad & grandad, is among those still being held in a maximum security Israeli prison for the crime of trying to bring food & medicine to Gaza with the Global Sumud Flotilla. Read: www.middleeasteye.net/news/us-and-...

Watched a bunch more movies on the criterion channel. High and Low (1963) Suburbia (1996) Watership Down (1978) Escape From L.A. (1996)

Greta Thunberg is a champ. I have so much respect for her.

Not sure if people know this but we are going to die of climate change and fascism if we don’t get it together like it’s not a joke it’s real and the only way through is socialism

I’m still going to have a hard time forgiving people once all this is over

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

A lot of comedians are just horrible assholes but I also wonder if the rush to embrace the Riyadh Comedy Festival money says something about how bad the internal economy of the comedy podcaster sphere is doing

Wow, so shocked that so many "comedians" who made their name shitting on vulnerable people and populations and giggling out slurs on podcasts would take House of Saud money that forbids them from joking about the House of Saud all while braying about the sacredness of Free Speech shocked shocked

Rats are out of control this year. Can hear them in the walls at night. Dogs won't sleep, and neither can I.

Dave Chappelle was never funny.

Sit! Ubu, sit! Good dog.

some people told dave chappelle his jokes weren’t funny and this ego maniac has been having a meltdown over it for ten years

Livestream of Global Sumud Flotilla as they approach Gaza. Watch & share: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEN2...

Criterion channel is getting a workout. Here's some of what I've watched in the last few days.

This siding with fascism business seems like quick money but I don't think it works out long term for most.

There's nothing funny about stand-up comedy.

David Cross folks.

bragging about how much gold you’re putting in the oval office while all the economic lights on the dashboard are starting to flash red and the government is about to shut down is some shit that would make the marie antoinette caricature wince

Personal news I got the lewd behavior charges dropped for the thing at LaGuardia because I could prove my dog was a support animal (I have documented Havana syndrome) & I need him to do the thing with his balls and my neck

Bullet casings collected from the scene were engraved with the words "has enough time passed now that we can collectively admit that the Barbie movie wasn't that amazing"

Pork roast with potatoes and carrots in the slow cooker. Feels good to have everything done before noon. Gives you something to look forward to and it smells good.

Every year I put together a list of horror movies to watch in October and every year I give up after a few days. I watch horror movies all year round. If I haven't seen it by this point there's probably a reason. And I like variety. -->

People sure go out of their way to defend Bill Burr. Why?

I just realized I can subscribe to the Criterion Channel on my smart TV. Instant purchase.

I got banned from the MMA underground for saying Tito Ortiz had a huge head.

What's Tommy Thayer up to these days?

If you’re a comedian I know who’s doing the RIYADH comedy festival, it’s not too late to drop out. The money you make will poison you. You have fucked up & you can correct the big bad mistake you’re making. Also the ppl I know who are doing it are SO WILDLY RICH already. Christ.

What a bunch of bullshit. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

things kind of stink now but you basically dont have to hear that pearl jam song "jeremy" anymore ever unless you actively want to hear it. it used to be you would be hear eddie vedder hooting like five or six times a day and you were powerless to stop it

Robyn's first new album in seven years appears imminent

Checked out the new Justin Bieber song. Wow that's some real crap.

I've had a Peter Cetera/Amy Grant ballad stuck in my head for days. Torture.

the only good fascist is a dead fascist

Sorry, but I have a hard time believing Ron Howard sits around watching As Good As It Gets in 480p.

I'm excited to see One Battle After Another but I can't do 3 hours in the theater. That will be one to watch at home.

I've been playing the Tropico games for close to 10 years and I still have no idea what I'm doing.

my friend's pregnant wife is now treating her headache with seed oils

If you think Tylenol is bad for children, wait until you find out about guns.
