Gonna start off October with Demonologist, aka “Phasmaphobia but the developers haven’t fucked it all up yet Playing with @evelyth.the-gay.cat @jimdowney.bsky.social @turboc.bsky.social Expect it 9pm EST!!! If I go live before then I am giving sacrifice to the combo gods

meanwhile at the Riyadh Comedy Festival

Bull-fucking-shit. Political violence occurs in this country because those in power USE violence and ENCOURAGE violence. Violence begets violence.

“what the hell is a yojimbo”

I legit was trying to decide if this was a reason to warn my other buddy if this was a red flag, and then @slowbeef.bsky.social just elevated the conversation

Congrats, Silicon Valley has managed to reinvent Cyrano de Bergerac www.thecut.com/article/ai-i...

Was super busy at work just heard about Robert Redford. RIP to an absolute legend. Outside of Toshiro Mifune, I don't think there's a single actor that was in more of my favorite movies. The Sting, Three Days of the Condor, The Natural, and Sneakers are all way, way up on the list.

I'm always concerned incidents like today will result in retaliatory attacks against vulnerable leftists. But the reality is right wingers have openly endorsed and encouraged our culture of violence. Government sanctioned violence is the order of the day. Big picture, Kirk won't move the needle.

Ok, so as a big fan of your bog standard UK murder mystery shows, I was generally inclined to like it... But god DAMN was Dep.Q absolutely phenomenal. Performances, writing, direction, everything. Just a world class show in its genre. www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...

Jeanne Calment, the only human ever documented to live past 120, with the ice cold dismissal. "in life, one sometimes makes bad deals"

Stephen Wilson Jr collaborated with Shaboozey for a song on The Long Walk soundtrack (it's very good, but not what I'm gettin to) and like 3 people at work mentioned it today. I sent them the link I sent to EVERYONE who finds SWJr... and I share it with you, too youtu.be/9kn7E-OauJI?...

I spent a LONG time out of work after losing my insurance industry job. Kept trying to use connections; no luck. So I shifted careers. And today I get *two* people asking if I was still looking, and an old boss offering me contract work for a very good rate that involves travel. Just bizarre.

Only took a couple decades but finally got a chance to see Oasis with the boys

"Max Rebo! Come on, he played with Sy Snootles and Droopy McCool in the Galactic Jizz-Wailers?"

That does it for birthday week 2025- of course it takes visiting with family and friends to remind me to take pics every once in a while

Yeah. It's the fascist playbook: Invent problem and hopefully target the most vulnerable and least represented groups, invent excuse of "danger to children" or straight up dog whistle "danger to OUR way of life" and then gradually ramp up the level of response. End goal: despotism.

Why do both of these early-20 yr olds look like they're well preserved for 45? Like is that an aspirational goal for gen z now?

Summer Streets was one of the absolute highlights of living right next to NYC for years. If you're ever visiting during August it's a fantastic way to experience the city.

When I talk about growing up in Jersey, I sometimes struggle to make people understand how you can deeply love your friends and yet constantly revel in each other's imperfections. Now I'm just gonna show them this.

I am absolutely positively *not* the demographic for KPOP DEMON HUNTERS but we watched it with our kids and man, was that fun.

I'm gonna be honest, I saw all the hype around KPop Demon Hunters and thought "sure, it's probably good, but it can't be THAT great" And I was wrong. It's legit amazing. I ain't saying it's Citizen Kane, but wow does it execute what it's going for as good as I've ever seen.

Why are all the fuckups east of the Mississipo?

This old man is 15, and while he doesn't get around so good anymore, he still gets straight outta bed when I bust out the rotisserie chicken

So when I have trouble sleeping, one of my tricks is to play rain sounds. But every so often, just as I'm turning in, a big thunderstorm hits... And suddenly I'm like a junkie who just got some black tar "Ohhhhh, so this is the REAL shit!"

"...I swear to fucking god, he tried to roll the hat down his arm like Fred Astaire but the back flap got trapped around Rick’s wheelchair"

"...I swear to fucking god, he tried to roll the hat down his arm like Fred Astaire but the back flap got trapped around Rick’s wheelchair"

WE did it! *We* rolled credits on Peak! ("We" here is used in the royal Boo Squad sense: That it certainly doesn't matter if only one of us who is very good at games made it to the top. It counts for all!)

gonna play Peak with Boo Squad @jimdowney.bsky.social @evelyth.the-gay.cat @turboc.bsky.social at the top of the hour but first gotta grind to Diamond 2 twitch.tv/slowbeef

Just added to my collection of Shirts I've Purchased While Drunk

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

This is true nationwide- crossing the spectrum of Democrats. People are fed the fuck up with the establishment. Energetic candidates with positive policies to run on connect FAR more than anyone "safe." Zohran's victory isn't just voters embracing the left, it's a rejection of the status quo

me: what kind of animal is that tour guide: alaskan otter me: ok, let me know what he says

(Fred Schneider voice) would you know my name if i saw you in HEAVEN

The subway is so safe I've fallen asleep in it legitimately 100s of times and never had anyone mess with me. And I only lived in the city for like a year, most of my time on it was spent living nearby and commuting, dating people, or general social stuff.

The only people complaining about Bluesky are corporate media opinion columnists who have a 200,000 followers on X and 800 here. “Please go back to X!” No, fuck you lol.

IT'S A KNOCKDOWN, DANNY

Ok, about to start more Dead Island 2 with my pal @slowbeef.bsky.social over at twitch.tv/slowbeef

Unless this was stolen and had a bigass sign saying "WE STOLE THIS FUCKER" on it, I have no idea what it's doing at pride. But as a straight, I will differ my opinion to the experts.

Shout out to people who put a song lyric in their "about me" section on dating apps like it's a dang MySpace profile. "Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline" right on, sister, I know the feeling

Step 1: Have a straight up intervention with anyone you know who still follows Matt Yglesias. Step 2: No, I'm serious. Gather your friends and somehow manage to show the dipshit who still thinks this is normal how remarkably stupid this man is.

This should be fun, we're gonna try a co op playthrough of Dead Island 2- I've heard good things.

Dammit, RIP to an absolute legend. I did a Cheers rewatch a couple years ago, and it's remarkable 1) how well that show holds up from the very beginning, and 2) how quickly Wendt found that character and was throwing comedic fastballs right away

The absurdity of israeli propaganda is unrivaled.

Field of Dreams capturing the essential problem with late stage capitalism

Get to airport parking lot, trunk of the car in front of me is wide open. "Hello? Is this anybody's car with the open trunk??" Silence *Closes trunk* "...aw shit, it's a Tesla. Can I open it again?"

Getting to be in the audience when Giant Bomb announced their independence was friggin inspiring, WTFG duders!

Ah yes, traditional Catholicism. Famous for questioning infallibility.
