Every Dropout clip I see is 90% the host laughing way too loudly. Is it all like that? Is that what laugh tracks are now? Just some guy with a beard and glasses pretending everything is hilarious?

My kids and their cousins are watching Despicable Me 3 on Nick at Nite. We used to be a country.

It was Gonzo

“E.T. Parody” See if you can guess which Muppet plays E.T. (Note: your first guess is correct)

I was 40 minutes into Goodrich before I realized that it's basically Old Man Mr. Mom

I just found out that Matt Reeves directed this random David Schwimmer/Gwyneth Paltrow movie twelve years before Cloverfield, which I always assumed was his debut. I’m shook.

My comics goal for 2026 is to read at least 500 issues of Marvel comics. So far in 2025, I've read 62 Marvel issues and 658 DC issues, which is reflective of my history with the two companies. So what are the fun or weird or offbeat Marvel runs I should absolutely read?

I've realized that Bluesky is depressing me in exactly the same way Twitter used to.

Jeopardy on Hulu is such a gift. I haven’t watched new episodes regularly as long as I've lived in Minnesota (nine years) because it's on at 4:30 in the afternoon

I'm at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival for the first time in eight years, and it just makes me so happy

I just finished the original UK version of Ghosts. I'm gonna miss those silly guys very much!

So how are all my former gifted and talented kids who used to read several books a day and now rot their faculties doomscrolling while ignoring a TV show doing tonight

I only like shows that have 12 episodes or 1000 episodes.

Huge, a tremendously heartfelt and sensitive teen drama set at a fat camp that ran for 10 episodes in 2010. I think about it all the time.

This is *so often* true in negative criticism. If you think Napoleon Dynamite is a good movie, Jared Hess is celebrating a lovable oddball. If you think it's a bad movie, Jared Hess is mocking him for being an off-putting freak.

I'm just so excited to watch Benoit Blanc look skeptical again

Fall is here, and Roz drew this picture of Greg on our monthly planner to mark the occasion

My kid sent this to me and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to unhear it.

Okay, let's see what 100-year-old literature is like these days.

I just really hate that Alfred is dead in Batman comics now.

Here’s the drawing Roz made for the first day of school tomorrow! Our kids have been watching a ton of Homestar videos over the summer!

Disney+ is trying to trick you into thinking Andor is the main guy in Rogue One

Shang-Chi came out 4 years ago this week. In those four years, they haven't shown Simu Liu in any other MCU project for even a second. That would have been unthinkable with an MCU lead in the 2010s.

Just about to watch Andor, featuring all my favorite characters like Andor Stellan Skarsgard Kathryn Hunter Kathryn Hunter's cereal enthusiast son Belinda from Doctor Who Shona from Doctor Who Mon Mothma

Proud to announce that I've gone 31 days without eating fruit snacks.

If Gavin Newsom is the only way out of the current administration, then there is no way out, because he’s the worst.

Colin didn't make it this far west, but my family goes to at least one screening at Long Drive-In in Long Prairie, MN every summer. I love that my kids are growing up thinking of it as a normal type of moviegoing!

Billie Jean King made her first appearance on Sesame Street yesterday, which is approximately 50 years later than I would have guessed.

I just finished watching Downton Abbey for the first time, so I decided it would be fun to rank all of the major love interests.

Anyone remember the second season STAR TREK episode “Patterns of Force” in which the Enterprise crew went to a planet whose culture imitated Earth’s nazi history and the dictator was a sick old man kept literally propped up behind his desk by minions loving that nazi life? No reason.

Roz gives me Six Degrees of Separation challenges to keep me awake while driving, and this weekend I got Maurice Chevalier to Timothee Chalamet in four steps, and I've never been prouder of myself.

A panel from Doom Patrol #36 (1990)

Nothing has ever made me feel as much like I stepped into an alternate universe as this Star Wars Episode I Coke display in the year 2025. Coke?! Pepsi had that license for years and years in my youth!

Absolutely bonkers commercial for Pringles Butter ‘n Herbs (1986) featuring a variety of surprising celebrities. youtu.be/z4-Rxs3KnMM?...

That’s art. 😊

Investigators #6: Heist and Seek by @johngreenart.bsky.social has a running gag about possum street artist Panksy, including the unveiling of his latest piece, a brick with his name on it. Miles decided to recreate it from memory. What a sight to stumble upon on the back porch!

Watching Robocop for the first time. Why didn’t anyone tell me Bill Farmer was in it?!

After the newest episode of Strange New Worlds, I threw on Star Trek Beyond, which I haven’t seen since the theater.

Delighted to be joined by the great @noahdiamond.com for this week's podcast, where we talk about Vaudeville, Burlesque, British Music Hall, and even Fozzie Bear!

Roz is rewatching The Good Place, and I've been in and out. She's on season 3 now, and sure enough, it's still annoying. They forgot to write second drafts of the jokes!

Ten years ago, we had Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Reynolds. Now we have no Hamilton, no Joe Frank, and no Reynolds.

We're starting a new family tradition tonight - watching an episode of Making It every Friday! What a joy to revisit this silly, big-hearted show!

Prediction about the end of Strange New Worlds that I hope is wrong: Ortegas heroically sacrifices herself to save the Enterprise and/or other crewmembers, and then Uhura delivers an emotional speech to her replacement Sulu about how Erica was the ship's beating heart.

Wonder Woman #9 (2016) has a two-spread where all the stores at the mall are named after past and current WW creators.

Seeing Mad Love (1935) on 35MM with the one and only @michaelmay.bsky.social!

Never too late to kick off your own personal Block Party Summer!

My kids just discovered The Munsters on Peacock, and they're watching it at this very moment. What a joy!

The first time I saw this tweet, I assumed it was a joke. An over-the-top parody of “The cities are a hive of scum and villainy” pearl clutching. But apparently it’s real! Astounding!

Yes to all of this!

Of the five recent Star Trek shows, Strange New Worlds is the only one that just feels like I’m watching Star Trek. It isn’t perfect (what TV show is), but it pushes all the same buttons for me as the 90s Star Trek shows. It’s just nice to be back in that world.
