@lazyandentitled.bsky.social I famously know nothing about bball but how I KNEW @thecorlew.bsky.social was picking creature from the black lagoon 3rd in his monster lineup

If the right can deflect and ignore every meaningful question thrown their way for decades, surely the left can start doing that with the bullshit smears

This is such an interesting and entertaining book, I can't recommend it enough. I didn't think I could be more enthralled by Deadwood but this proved me wrong.

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

George Carlin was always diabolically insightful, but never more so than in his “I kinda like it when a lotta people die” summary of ennui-ridden Americans and their news outlets (bizarrely recorded the day before 9/11, so not released during his lifetime). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Kinda...

World's greatest podcast @missiontozyxx.bsky.social has a running gag in its Sci fi setting that paper is the future. And with all this AI bullshit I think they're actually 100% right

@thecorlew.bsky.social yo do you have that poem where it's like "I went to the grocery store and it was political"?

I accidentally clicked on Skype in my start menu at work and now my life is ruined

Of course Andor also gets The Force right. It's most interesting as just a kind of Osteopathy for the universe.

@bcmerchant.bsky.social as always hitting the exact notes you can feel but not quite hear yet

“If you’re not willing to risk your conscience then surrender and be done with it”

My vote is for Czech novelist Gofuch Yerselvs

There’s only so much one can notice in a single Spring

A colleague emailed me today to flag the fact that the superb Fourth Circuit Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson ended a quotidian insurance opinion with an unusually introspective conclusion.

Britt Lower and Tramell Tillman are 100% the most beautiful people on TV right now and that’s like the least important reason you should be watching Severance right now.

It’s amazing just how much of a chimpanzee is dedicated to the butthole

As ever, the loss of something good and useful for Americans is framed as a loss for Democrats — in the mass media, everything becomes just a political football to be kicked back and forth instead of examined for its impact on everyday citizens regardless of political party.

I have a nugget of a thought about how the way the wife deflects his emotional outreach towards a reminder of his underperforming team is an unwitting summary of how American sports are used to keep people in a Truman show -esque state of oblivion but I'm too dumb to articulate it better than this

This is feeling like the start of THE BATMAN (2022)

@atgbeer.bsky.social holy shit you've got some bangers come in. Any Thomas hardy left??

@ityslmemes.com in honour of Quincy Jones could we get a movement going to get the lawyer from Brian’s Hat to read out the entire Vulture interview with him

Glaxmar the Horror (who learned English solely via reading poets featured on @thelinebreak.bsky.social): …your anguish as you languish in service to me will wither in the shadow of gratitude to me for stopping you double dribbling to extinction. Bob: Ohohooo, my goodness… Chris: Another sick chap

My hot take is if you hate raw broccoli then you just hate food

Reminds me of the fact that for the last few years I had never seen Jance and kind of assumed, the way he was hyped up in media, that he looked something like the left image. Was extremely shook this summer when I found out he was actually a bearded baby of the year contestant.

I don’t even remember what life was like pre Malone

I reckon in the next month trump will start saying lines from the Hollywood access tapes at his rallies to get energy up

Is it just me or is the stolen Banksy wolf OBVIOUSLY going to be part of a bigger piece? The animal count went 1-2-3 then back to 1 on the only removable surface out of the lot. Which was guaranteed to be removed within a day of it being revealed as a real Banksy. Watch this space. 1/2

Really what I'm saying is if you don't like raw broccoli do you even have taste buds

Van Morrison albums rule because all the singles are like love is beautiful and so are you we should love each other forever, while the rest of the tracks are either about alcoholics decapitating gangsters with a hatchet or covers of Kermit the Frog songs

Finally got the bastard www.bbc.com/news/article...

The only way to improve tedious tasks is to make them faster/less physically onerous. Having my appliances interact with me is the opposite on both counts.

They even split the torch into two torches at the end, I've never felt so disappointed in my life as when they just used those to light the thing fuuuck

It is absolutely CHUCKING it down in Paris. Team GB seem very happy.

Bought a record player for the new house and this is the third vinyl we own. Wife asked how much it cost, I responded "IT IS ILLEGAL FOR YOU TO ASK ME THAT." #ITYSL #notadistraction

God the people who complain about this stuff really are the stupidest people on the planet. Like - why do you think all the imperial officers had stuffy English accents in a galaxy far far away? These are choices made as a cultural shorthand.

People lol’d when I told them that the last time true crime was a hugely popular genre was Weimar. Who’s laughing out loud now? Nobody, that’s right. Not even a nervous chuckle from twee true crime hosts.

To be honest I'm just disappointed that Trump didn't go full IDGAF and claim even more outlandish things like "not many people talk about how joe biden here killed his friend Obama's dog" or "I get laid WAY more than this guy". The USA is the world's WWE and as viewers we deserve to see this.

We all agree the funniest thing the dems could do in four years is for Biden to pardon hunter then have him be the presidential candidate right?

If I had to guess I think all my angst really comes down to the fact that They are cramming all superheroes and similar IP into films together and yet we still don't have Shai-Hulud erupting from the sand whilst a shiny War Boy gets witnessed going into its maw.

I'm am autumn man but spring sure is something

Background character at the start of HG Wells’s War of the Worlds: Nobody travels from London to Winchester anymore. You can’t. Because of Woking.

Incoming @thecorlew.bsky.social

The marketing for this film was commercially really clever but personally turned me off of the film. Matt’s review convinced me to give it a go and boy am I glad it did.

If I were writing a film with one of those no-lose contract actors, you just know there would be a scene where Statham is getting his ass absolutely minced by some goon, and just as the goon walks over to teabag our fallen hero - they step on a rake they hadn't noticed which swings up for the KO.

Cherry blossom week is best week

What the fuck is happening, how did jury selection turn into the first act of Willy Wonka

No, I am most assuredly NOT "on a roll on LinkedIn"

Wait wait wait - Matt Mercer made There Will Be Brawl??

I just like water droplets, I dunno
