My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

You know that one part of the Disney movie where everything starts going wrong for the villian and they start screaming uncontrollably at the henchmen and the protagonists and basically everyone because it's all crumbling around them? It's very that

This is factual. We gotta beat back the encroachment like it's weeds in the garden.

I had so many choices... so many choices...

Daaaaamn, Onion.

Watching Penny Dreadful and it feels like The Creature is about to break into "Silent Lucidity," if that means anything to you.

A former Fetterman advisor texted me: “I think what comes across is the reality of who he is, which is a petulant child who never became a man and is always the victim of his own narrative—even though he’s never had a real job and lives off his dad’s money. It's all pretty sad and pathetic."

Which do I watch first: terrible TV movie Summer Dreams: The Story of the Beach Boys (1990), or terrible TV movie The Beach Boys: An American Family (2000)? Decisions, decisions...

aha - Buster Keaton chose to portray a member of the Confederate army in "The General" because he figured that, seeing as how they won the way, a Northern character wouldn't get much sympathy.

Was realizing today that I don't think I've been to the movies in long while, despite having a membership at the Hollywood. Definitely related to my mental state at being jobless, but I never really noticed it.

I am truly and genuinely so glad you asked! This site is a one-stop shop for reasons why ULINE sucks ass, and a massive link list of handy alternative companies AND a short blacklist of ULINE-alikes to avoid! refuseuline.com

Mechanic [sliding out from under Optimus Prime]: I think I see what the issue is. This truck is also a big guy somehow

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

And, also, if you run a business that regularly purchases shipping supplies: ULINE is run by some of the worst people on Earth. Get your boxes and tape elsewhere.

This is good and right.

The folks who made the John Wayne Gacy dramatized biopic Devil In The Dark absolutely knew what image we all wanted to see, and teasingly but defiantly refused to give it to us.

I'll pollywolly your doodle. All the day.

I'll lolly your gag

Oh god

!!

One phrasing I retain from way back is "I'll X *your* Y in a second," mildly threateningly. For example: "Don't bother me, I'm watching Gleaming The Cube." "I'll gleam *your* cube in a second." Or: "I'm waiting for a call from that head hunter." "I'll hunt *your* head in a second."

Hey. LAZARUS: FALLEN 6 is out tomorrow. I’m really proud of this issue. You should read it. That is all.

Help spread the word about this show! It's at 100 Roy Street, Seattle, coming up on Sunday November 23rd! Tickets here: cleanaireventspresents.ticketspice.com/canary

I need "Stats are down but he played great" to make it into the lexicon.

I won't consider Starlink for the same reason I won't buy a Tesla and why I'm no longer on the former Twitter: I won't willingly give money to (or be an advertising base for) a Nazi salute-throwing fascist who actively tried to destroy our democracy

You've all seen me post about doing interviews over the last few weeks.

My brother and I watched this on cable like a hundred times in the early 80s. It is not good, yet great.

This is a request for info: if you work at Lambda, CoreWeave, or any other GPU capacity company, please reach out at ezitron.76, I would love to talk.

Cannot ever be in the tent: Marjorie Taylor Greene, Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, Caitlyn Jenner, Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, etc. No room for bigots in the tent! Not now. Not ever. Let them sew together a new one far away from us and criticize Trump from there.

I'm seeing a lot of political posts with images & no alt-text. A reminder: alt-text makes your post accessible to blind & low-vision users, & as disabled people are some of those most regularly & viciously targeted by this administration, they deserve & need to be included & informed in activism.

I’m 58 years old and I’ve been a full-time musician for 33+ years in SoCal. I have some stories. I have some views and insights. Please let me know if I may answer any questions. 😎🎶🤙🏾

Couple of lead-off interviews today, and I'm an antenna for good vibes. Listening to Pat Pattee on the late-night Night Watch on Portland's KISN for February 3 1968.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16? I was given a tape my freshman year in college, 2 years after its release. I can still feel the way this album sounds. Detached, brittle, and rhythmic. Near-feral at times, sublime at others. Plus: Robert Smith!

AOC has a better shot at 2028 than Newsom does, that prick already threw in his lot with the rightwing podcasters and the transphobes. Reactionary centrists can whine about "purity tests," but fact is Dem contenders now must have spine & principles. Candidates without that will struggle in 2028.

THE NICE GUYS (2016)

"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it" My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

"Yo, Mars Blackmon here. Leo, what makes you the Supreme Pontiff? Is it the beanie?" "No, Mars." "Is it the Fisherman's Ring?" "No, Mars." "Is it the cape?" "No, Mars." "It's the ring, then, right?" "No, Mars." "Is it the Popemobile?" "No, Mars." "Money, it's gotta be the ring!"

I imagine this being on @jeffparker.bsky.social's retirement list.

The chorus to Bread's "Everything I Own" pairs well with Merrilee Rush's "Angel of the Morning" THIS HAS BEEN YOUR FAST FACT OF THE DAY

Listening to KHJ Los Angeles' "Big 93" of 1972, and the DJ introduced Creedence Clearwater Revival's song "Someday Never Comes" by saying "back in May, when CCR still existed..." Hot on the heels of the @andrewhickey.500songs.com episode!

Donald Trump has ordered the FCC to suspend the license of any station playing the metal classic "I'm A Boinger."

Tough news out of Oregon today. Abruptly, Rogue Brewery has ceased all operations. The brewery and all the pubs. Especially sucky for the employees. $545k in overdue rent, $30k in back taxes. And that’s just what we know about. washingtonbeerblog.com/rogue-brewer...

Newsomheads are fucking bizarre. Your dude is *what* now?

Flawless victory.

This was such a bop, back in those days.

the pacific northwest is a place where white people go to live out lifelong shame in collective secret. you move to seattle if you can only make friends on the internet and you move to portland if you get fired from a blog or got disowned by your parents for "trying to have a career in beer"

OMGOMG

laughter is the best medicine but only if it's taken as a suppository
