Take me down to the Paradise City where the gas runs lean and a gallon's $2.50 or watch police drive me home

Can't say I'm into Korean pop, or animation really, but that K-Mart Bargain Hunters movie ruled!

Six years waiting for E.T. on home video was a low point of my childhood.

If they make another Ghostbusters sequel, show us The Stiff's reaction to learning his baby-mama also 'dogged Rick Moranis. Maybe a sad concerto on that little violin. *sniff*

The contrast in tone between the quotes their digital marketing company gave when bragging to Billboard (“We know how to go viral. We have thousands of pages“) and the ones they give here downplaying their work is pretty telling

shit-Tokking™ #coined

Only in this most bizarre of timelines is a Prez-vs-Pope story covered like a Miami-Chicago game. Wish I weren't here for it.

well played

free horror/comedy concept: "Mutaint" don't even have to invite me to the premiere

Authors find second-person POV difficult. You know who wrote a lot of it? Ratt.

As my refrigerator magnet says: JESUS WOULD SLAP THE SHIT OUT OF YOU

It's weird to see some people pulling their heads from the sand today after our endless antichrist warnings. What will they do about it? I'm exhausted from having merely gained some concession that the sky is blue.

We may not like Mondays, but Tuesdays haven't been so great either without those ’90s’ weekly record-store visits. Freaky apostrophes … if those rendered as straight not curly, would look like a quotation instead of an opening contraction and plural possessive in the same word.

I took a few new pics and updated all the home-studio details on my site, for those into such nerdery.

Some music legends continue touring past the point of needing the money simply because they hate their families.

Hearing the approaching sirens of fire engines is a great reminder to change the batteries in your guitar pedals.

I've received multiple pieces of promotional mail from Spectrum weekly for about 15 years. Will never be a customer. Such waste. The trash bin next to the mailboxes often overflows with them. Someone could art together quite a monument to failure.

well I heard there was a secret plan to end the orange war in Iran but you don't really dare cross Netanyahu it goes like this: henceforth, plead fifth the minor tall, the major grift the baboon king shitposting how he'll fool ya

2028’s Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay will go to the scribe who changes the obligatory book’s perspective to that of the surgeon.

Dear Valued Shareholder, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop. Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything. It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

Made my bracket selections for f4, and I'm going with f2.8 and f5.6 based on depth of field. 📷

champagne for my real friends, and real pain for my sham friends shampoo for my real hair, and real poo for my sham hare

I've been working on a prototype for an instrument that fits an entire keyboard in a compact space. This is tuned in 4ths like a bass guitar, if only it had 12 strings and a really wide neck. #music #instruments #electronics #wip

Behold! My 2026 Academy Awards menu, full of #Oscar-themed options for breakfast, lunch and Sinners. As always, I'd like to thank the Academy — and my wife, for being the best editor and partner in pundom.

you can tell Wired has been doing good journalism lately because there's been increased whining by the extraction class about how Wired mysteriously changed in the decade since tech titans fully revealed themselves as sociopaths from this recent Dorsey interview:

Ed Wood? Fuck outta here … Oh, a film ABOUT Ed Wood? Here's two Oscars!

How bad’s it gotten? I just strummed uke for like 15 minutes unironically. Don’t make me get out the ganjo.

Prosecutors Unable To Attend Live Nation Trial After Scalpers Buy Every Ticket https://theonion.com/prosecutors-unable-to-attend-live-nation-trial-after-scalpers-buy-every-ticket/

Van Halen’s no-brown-M&Ms clause was an excellent way to expose corner-cutting promoters (“the way you do anything is the way you do everything”)… but it also meant knowing that all of their M&Ms had been touched.

For the last decade, whenever pressed for something—anything—positive about Agent Orange, my sole concession was that at least he wasn't a hawk. Now that entire bingo card's blacked out.

Oh, so Apple News promotes accuracy-leaning media outlets? Got it. nypost.com/2026/02/10/b...

I may not have OCD, but this inverted mirror shape flares it up.

Masterful Troll, TCM.

Line Cook Reheats Plate, Adds Garnish, Calls Self Chef Again But this time it's from a different restaurant.

I think I'm enjoying the olympics so much because I can unabashedly cheer on Team USA instead of apologizing for our country like I've spent most of the last decade.

Call Daryl Hall.

These redactions are quite telling.

It's complex because they're asking to use something that isn't theirs, on an international scale, in many possible iterations. Tech has compounded this, but so have the assumptions of consumers for whom music no longer has monetary value.

I feel lingering guilt over having photoshopped a Winger t-shirt onto an old friend post-mortem. Too soon. Buuuuut still accurate in spirit.

That's one in a million, for the decimal-challenged.

I became an adult the day I found the necessary willpower. It was a couple of weeks ago.

The olympic theme music was playing in my head as I arose from bed this afternoon.

I've only fan-remastered two albums for personal enjoyment: 5150 and OU812, desperate to extract some bass. Looks like this is enhanced video rather than 16mm film, but still, Live Without a Net was my guitar instruction video in the formative years, so any preservation is welcome.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

"But I didn't do that thing he said in the joke!" That's part of what makes it a joke, not journalism. In other news, a man from Nantucket was revealed to be of average endowment but superior flexibility.

… and his drummer's got both SNB and MNF intros

In my youth I assumed fettuccine was pronounced like the Bon Jovi song "Bad Fettuccine," which still earworms whenever I see the word.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.
