Pluribus is great because it’s Vince Gilligan doing sci-fi with zero constraints of making a network tv procedural. The man made some of the best X-Files episodes but here he has free rein to do whatever he wants and I love it

I’ve had some issues with how SNL has portrayed Trump lately - not that they’re positive but that they portray him as smarter and more coherent than he is. James Austin Johnson’s impression is excellent so I see why but I wish it would go harder on Trump. Last night it did! youtu.be/hkF1R0oe8OA?...

Everything is terrible but we got new MacGruber on SNL so was it all worth it? (No but I do love this) youtu.be/lHpa62eTUTg?...

The new steam machine proves what I’ve known for decades - good consoles come in cube form

So excited! I was so pleasantly surprised by season 1, this will be really fun!

Using AI means I won’t buy your game, simple as that. If every game dev uses AI I have a huge backlog of games I need to get to. And I play a lot of JRPGs so that will take a while.

Bravely Default rules and the Switch 2 version is great, definitely recommend

I never thought I’d hear my dad @wjcygan.bsky.social be positive about Catholicism or a pope so hearing him be impressed by Leo was astonishing

What’s the opposite of shocked?

Third Atelier review of the year, let’s go www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/73240...

I don’t support AI but I do support obviously drunk robots

Saw David Byrne last night and man, this man is both a genius and a machine? Like he was up there singing, dancing, playing music for an hour and 45 minutes in a way I don’t think I could do, and the man is in his 70s? Like dang, it feels like he’s still at his peak almost 50 years into his career!

I’m seeing David Byrne tomorrow and I am just beyond excited thinking about it ☺️

Jump scare in Misery seeing an “elect Nixon” banner, like Annie Wilkes might be a kidnapping psychopath but Nixon??

Got some beer, a frozen pizza, some Halloween candy and I’m all curled up watching spooky movies, I love small happy moments like these

I don’t want all the stress that comes with owning a house, especially as a single person who would HATE all the outdoor maintenance, but every time this year I want one just so I can get trick or treaters!!

Watching Misery and coldest take, Kathy Bates slaps in this

I just went to the store to pick up some treats for myself for Halloween and what makes me more worthy of that than people on SNAP? The only difference is my employer pays me a living wage.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Finally maybe we as a society can begin to fully appreciate Jesse Plemons as the monumental talent he is

Bugonia ruled, I just want to thank whatever hero introduced Yorgos Lanthimos to Emma Stone, like you did the world a favor

This is untenable. It would cost a fraction of this to end global hunger outright. It’s an active choice that people are hungry in the world today, made by this 0.1%.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Sunday I got Korean BBQ and saw Frankenstein, tonight I’m getting Ethiopian food and seeing Bugonia, what a good week

If you like Chainsaw Man you owe it to yourself to see the Reze arc movie in theaters, phew that was good

I wasn’t planning on watching this but the bar I’m having a drink at before the movie has CNN on and they me talking about the Pentagon being mad and, with this administration, that’s a positive

What do Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Comcast, Meta, and HP have in common? They all once pledged to stop donations to anyone who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And now they're all donors to Trump's White House ballroom. https://popular.info/p/these-corporations-stopped-worrying

I’d boycott but my Xbox Series S is basically a paper weight now that I don’t have Gamepass anymore

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

Seeing this movie shortly so I can’t really talk (though I have read the arc in manga form) but calling Denji “manosphere” is such a deeply misguided misreading of Chainsaw Man oh my god

Pokemon calling me out

Love my city council person posting on here about supporting policies that make her ward safer when she won’t actually talk to residents about issues that are making things safe for them.

I need If I Had Legs I’d Kick You to get a wide release yesterday

I’m still wired from Frankenstein, I might see if I can see it again. That said I’m seeing the Chainsaw Man movie tomorrow and Bugonia on Thursday so my movie viewing docket is pretty full.

Thank you @realgdt.bsky.social for yet another gorgeous, wonderful film! I went to the exhibit At Home with Monsters and all the associated film screenings at the Minneapolis Institute of Art and I love that the only non-GdT was Frankenstein, and I now get to see his version!

I’m going with my brother to get Korean BBQ and then see Frankenstein on Sunday and genuinely that sounds like my idea of heaven

Took an excellent class on folk horror with @thejenna.bsky.social and man I just love movies and horror so much! I need to take more classes like that, talking about film from a critical lens with other people is endlessly fun

All while SNAP and WIC funding is set to run out next month.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Donate to food shelves and other charities if you can! I’m in Minnesota and just upped my monthly Second Harvest donation, since they know how to stretch a dollar. kstp.com/money-matter...

Pokemon Legends ZA is wild because I’m having a ton of fun with it and I’m pleased about a lot of the decisions that have been made (how well it runs, a smaller, more dense environment) but then you look online and people are acting like it murdered their family

Only a few hours in but man Pokemon Legends ZA is a delight. I had some high hopes considering Legends Arceus was very easily my favorite Switch Pokemon but this one is really excellent. Runs like a dream, the atmosphere is impeccable, and I love how much I can explore Lumiose City

Finally you can be fashionable in Pokemon again (I spent all my money on this outfit)

I have tickets to five movies in the next month and some days and I’m trying to find a day for another movie (and hoping ANOTHER one gets a wide release). I like movies.

I’m tired and kind of feel like shit because of my Covid booster but I have to stay awake long enough to get Chikorita in Pokemon Legends ZA, like I have to

One of my fond childhood memories is that @wjcygan.bsky.social picked Gold up for me at launch so I got it when I came home from school :) still my favorite Pokemon region!!!

It’s official that I’m never going to get sick of this youtu.be/rS00xWnqwvI?...

I’m so thrilled about the first episode of Gnosia, it feels like they’re really trying to maintain the elements that make the game special while adapting it to a very different medium. Setsu is best person obviously but I love how well they portrayed the characters so far. youtu.be/8UO5su3pjB4?...

Obama should just a post a photo today with his Nobel medal casually propped on a credenza behind him.

My wife, every once in a while as she plays Digimon Story: Time Stranger, "Wow it's really weird playing a Digimon Game with an Actual Budget"
