POV: You are in Ireland and the Christmas season literally just ended, like first thing this morning

Returning to Europe progress: I slept 12 hours last night and every second of it kicked ass

BOSS: Okay, the Switch 2 offers us a lot of new visual options, we have a ton of tools to play with, so let's hear some ide-- GAME DEV: Upside-down pussy doors. BOSS: ...what? GAME DEV: (rolling out already-prepared sketches)

Goodbye America, I feel like there were more personal injury lawyer billboards than the last time I was here

Where are the casual dork gamers? Who do I turn to if I need to decide whether to get the new Donkey Kong or the new Metroid?

I made a joke about Russia invading Ireland to uncover the secret of the spice bag

My mom leaves cable news on in the background pretty much 24/7 and after a week of this I am extremely ready to go back to Europe now thanks

In this issue The Hulk must figure out who it's okay to punch, not knowing which of these six characters will one day replace the Small World animatronics at Disney World

Jack of Hearts cracks me up, because I've read interviews with writers who were like "I had to bring Jack into the book, the design is just so striking" and with artists who were like "I got rid of him as soon as possible, I hated drawing that costume more than anything I've experienced in my life"

Weird how many movies seem to make a lot of money but have no cultural impact. (culture is me and impact is me liking it)

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

In later movies Fievel meets a nice shiksa girl and is now more of an Easter and Christmas Jew

I know I've been in Ireland a while because it snowed in Providence fairly heavily last night, and I naively thought we might be stuck inside today.

Got a really nice wool pea coat for Christmas. Really cementing my basic look as "the Captain Haddock" in 2026

*at a christmas party* oh Rudolph is your favorite reindeer? That’s cool yeah yeah he’s pretty great *in reindeer chat* BlitzenBoy92: at the work thinh. take a guess DonnerTime: buncha dolphies? VixenLover: fuckin lame bro just keep ur cool change the subject The Dasher Enjoyer: thinh

Did you know that each region of Ireland has its own figure who traditionally delivers presents on Christmas Eve??

What’s to-day, my fine fellow?’ said Scrooge. ‘To-day?’ replied the boy. ‘Why, Christmas Day! Can I open my presents?' ‘It’s Christmas Day!’ said Scrooge to himself. ‘I haven’t missed it! The Spi--' ‘Can I open my presents now?' returned the boy.

Finally watched Wake Up Dead Man, which felt like a movie I would have gotten more out of if I had, at any point in my life, been even a little bit religious. I've seen people raving about it and my reaction was ah that was a neat lil parlor mystery

Southern Right: the wine that will mess up your life, destroy your family, and ruin all your friendships

Losing my mind with joy watching Alexander Siddig give pompous speeches in the same tone as Julian Bashir

I'm like a minute into Ted Lasso, and however enjoyable the show might be, I'm honestly a little surprised it survived anyone hearing the voice Jason Sudeikis is doing and realizing how much of the show is going to be spent hearing it.

Shout out to the Dublin area radio host this morning who spent one day at Dundrum Shopping Centre during holiday shopping and announced on-air that we have abandoned god in our worship of Mammon

Dr. Soong showing up and asking what the hell kind of name is Lal. Why doesn't his granddaughter have a proper android name like Info or Spreadsheet.

I like that Godzilla appears to be enjoying himself. He's got a smile and a jaunty stride. He's thinking if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.

I've seen multiple people lamenting not having a handy latke recipe. So: peel and grate six potatoes, and squeeze the liquid out. Peel and grate one onion. Mix everything with two beaten eggs, 1/2 cup of matzoh meal, and a tsp of salt. Form patties and fry.

I'm always struck on re-reads how much Marvel comics *don't* do this. They're constantly throwing out the premise and tossing something else at the wall. The most obvious examples are Hulk and X-Men, but they all do it.

When America likes to be in you sorry I'm sorry

Daughter is watching Cartoon Network. I cannot abide the disgusting creature known as "Clarence." A vile homunculus.

My wife just informed me that Ron Perlman is not actually that tall, a fact we both found flatly unacceptable.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are obviously an extremely goofy band, but I think their goofiest fact is that they wrote a song about a famously corrupt mayor of Boston that in no way mentions his name, any of what he did, any part of the state of Massachusetts or even the general concept of a mayor.

Obama's end of year picks rocked by scandal as it is revealed that one of the winners is in a physical relationship with the judge

ME FIRING ALL THE WRITERS: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! ME NEEDING COPY: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck

This is every day of my married life. My wife once asked me "who was the guy in the movie" and I answered Jeff Goldblum in The Big Chill and I was right

Jim Gavin's campaign is the gift that keeps on giving. Today it has blessed us with this amazing headline.

Once again, if you believe that FF&FG would only love to give us a well-resourced, world beating welfare state but it’s just those pesky immigrants won’t let them, you are a gobshite. You have a loyalty card with your local bridge salesman. You were, in fact, born yesterday.

Thinking of pivoting to a RETVRN guy but the mid-century ads I base my personality and understanding of reality on are all stuff like this. Posting a painting of a dessert made from aspic and potato chips and screaming "THIS IS WHAT THEY TOOK FROM YOU"

Taking my family to the Dublin Christmas market in Smithfield Square, and I want credit for parking in the world's narrowest space in a crowded D1 carpark

Being a dad rules. The more embarrassing you are the more entertaining it is

We were curious about what this year's Toy Show charity actually does, and while I've admittedly only done a couple minutes of research, this is feeling suspiciously like a Human Fund situation

EZRI: I didn't know we were getting a new defiant class ship. SISKO: That's what happens when you miss staff meetings. ME, A MIDDLE-AGED STAFF MANAGER: FUCKIN DRAG HER ASS BEN, AT LEAST READ THE GEMINI NOTES

Zero likes, zero reposts, this one was a little treat from me to me

The main reason I enjoyed Superman and am comparably excited to see Supergirl: I am the owner of a horrible dog, and Representation👏 Matters👏

Young Jesus was probably really sensitive about it when adults said, "what, were you raised in a barn?"

Linehan out there like, "And another thing: please put in the newspaper that I got mad."

My favorite part of "Kung Fu Fighting" is when he says, "In fact, it was a little bit frightening." I bet!

Pornhub has released the top most searched terms in the United States and every state searched “industrial crane lifting a dark and dripping shape from an unquiet sea” bc America is going through it,

The scene in Eyes Wide Shut where the guy is following Tom Cruise, and a single high-pitched piano key is communicating the danger he's in for seeing what he shouldn't have, only the piano key is a Luas bell

Just so my American friends know, things get pretty heated between the government and the media here too
