Making plans to see The Running Man next week/soon. I wrote a review of the original back in high school (man, I'm old), the original was fun but seeing it more for the fact that Edgar Wright directed it.

I hate that a sub-reddit like /r/frugal will talk about how to deal with higher prices caused by tariffs and monopolies, and then put an immediate ban on any discussion of politics in the thread. By all means stabilize the patient, but maybe pay attention to what's making them sick too?

Went to see Predator: Badlands, and I don't know if someone is overseeing that universe in the same way that Gunn and Feige do or if 20th Century is just getting lucky with their directors and showrunners, but they've been knocking it out of the park the last couple of years....

🧵"Cheney, more than any other person, brought us today's political reality.... [T]he American conservative project, the old dream of making the world into a place awful enough to justify American conservatism, never had a better champion. He was a shamelessly self-dealing con man, for one thing >>

Rough week for Cheney to wind up in The Bad Place.

Looking forward to watching election results tonight and not worrying about how Wisconsin is doing.

Someday conservatives will talk about Tr#mp the way they're talking about Cheney now. "Not glad he's dead, glad he's gone. Never liked him, didn't support him. A real RINO." No thoughts of how they supported his actions, or what they can do to make it right. No self-reflection at all in fact.

What's with all the artists releasing fantastic wholesome music these days? It's almost like they know we're in serious pain and need something distracting and healing at the same time. Shared when the music starts but it's all fun. T-Pain - Club Husband (Official Music Video)

Happy Oingo Boingo Day to all those who celebrate.

A lot of people are about to be surprised (or fake it) at exactly how much the government subsidizes low wages.

Yakov Smirnoff (still alive and working!) should create a whole new stand-up on Trump's ties to the current leader of the former Soviet Republic. For example... In Soviet Russia, glorious leader is Putin. After the No Kings rally, glorious leader Trump is Poo-ing.

It's nearly the end of the start of the week, enjoy some wholesome thrash music! (seriously, it's a blast and I fell down a rabbit hole listening to them last night. also not their normal look, it seems to be something they're doing for this specific cover album)

My daughter and I were looking at Halloween decorations and costumes today, and we passed a section of 80s costumes that were all headbands, wristbands, and neon colors. I told her it was interesting, but I was pretty much wearing dark t-shirts and jeans in the 80s too.

Random Thought #452 - David Dastmalchian would be perfect in a recreation of Falco's Vienna Calling music video for the Tonight Show, except there isn't a good secondary role for Fallon. (No shade on Fallon, that's just their parody format)

It's weird that The Police memory holed this version off their official YouTube channel, especially since this was the first Police music video for most older fans. Supposedly they did a video for "So Lonely" using the same set/clothes, but I haven't found that one yet.

If we somehow survive this mess, I think the National Guard will need to be recreated under a different name and structure that focuses more on emergencies and less as an Armed Forces add-on.

Did you realize there are people who will tall you that crawling into a hole, curling up in a ball, and waiting for the world to go away is not the best solution to all your problems? Watch out for those people -- they're probably trying to steal your hole.

Saving until the next time someone complains that the printer in our local makerspace is black and white...

When conservatives complain that the young ones are looking to socialism for solutions, this should be Exhibit A on why. Every EA gamer that sees their platform steeply decline in the next couple of years is going to ask why it's happening, and the answer will be End Stage Capitalism.

Jesus Houdini Christ, this is great.

The IEP planning and special education programs currently under attack by conservatives are a hell of a lot more effective in helping kids than the Tylenol distraction sh#tshow they're putting on. The worse part is they know it's a distraction. Look over here while we demolish education!

I have to wait till Tuesday till the world ends? Frig!

Callahan's Crosstime Minibar

Watching the 1st ep of this year's GBBO and I have thoughts... #gbbo

Kinda low key fascinated (obsessed) with the 'Paper Moon' lyric in this song, it's an older term that briefly came back into vogue with the movie of the same name in the early 70s... Can't recall it being used recently, could be fun to play with.

I watched the documentary "Devo" on Netflix and I'm wondering if the band got final say on the film name. "Nothing cute, no puns, just 'Devo'". I would have gone with Devo-tion myself.

Waiting for the demand on the obvious to everyone but the biggest gaming platforms on the planet to subside a bit so I can download and install Silksong for my son. (Me too, but he's a Hollow Knight mega fan)

2nd kid returned to school today, the novelty has worn off. (still hilariously glad, of course, just don't have the same manic energy this morning. the gloomy weather may be a factor.)

Inspired by @ownsongkaraoke.bsky.social run by pop music critic extraordinaire @shadowtodd.bsky.social, here's some music video genres I've seen pop up over the years with examples...

Probably a good thing I haven't mastered video editing otherwise I'd be tempted to do fan edits of KPop Demon Hunter to Babymetal songs.

Feeling cute, may start a music video thread later.

First day of my son's school, and I am up earlier than I've been all summer and AWAKE! I expect to crash sometime soo...

If the 2pm announcement is a reboot of The Apprentice, I'm going to be pissed.

I know this one doesn't take place in Miami, but I gotta say that Dexter is getting pretty lazy this season.

I swear that Microsoft's spelling checker has gotten worse since it started putting AI in everything.

I want to read a series where the Kents and Els co-parent Clark Kent during his middle and high school years over the Kryptonian equivalent of Zoom.

@govevers.wisconsin.gov It'd be nice if we could partner with Illinois and other Midwestern states on this and other things as a regional powerhouse until the federal government returns to something resembling sanity.

With the amount of grief we've caused other countries, I'm surprised their leaders aren't taking turns calling the White House and asking to speak to Trump about random shit.

Costco Family Dinner Tip: If you get a lot of stuff besides the pizza, grab one of the smaller boxes they make available for customers nearby, and use that for the non-pizza stuff like salad and hot dogs. Much easier than balancing everything on top of the pizza box hoping nothing falls over.

Redneck engineering at its finest. Honestly, I was THIS CLOSE to using duct tape...

Tonight's adventure in 3D printing, kitty cat sewing buttons and a spacer for stacking different shaped (ramen) bowls together...

"We wouldn't have a nursing shortage if young people weren't afraid of work!" ..... (/sarcasm if this understandably angers you to the point you don't notice the quotes right away)

I've said this before, but AI support is almost understandable for free or cheap services. If you pay a premium and get AI support when something goes wrong, it's time to look for a new company.

James Gunn's original casting for Guy Gardner.

They're releasing the sequel to Hollow Knight (Silksong) the day AFTER school starts? Timing could be better, but still breaking my own rule to get it on release day.

If you had a chance to talk to a celebrity about a shared interest that wasn't directly related to their career, who and what would it be? I'll start - Steve Martin and Cyrano De Bergerac.

Welcome to my new comedy special, a Rich Little homage called "Ask Your Granddad". Impersonations include Howard Cosell, Jerry Seinfeld, Henry Kissinger, and Bobcat Goldthwait.

What gif pops up when you type your name? (OK, it was the 3rd one down, but it fit the best)
