The reason a Muppets reboot (other nostalgic reboots are available) doesn't work is that as a child you were receiving the humor from a place of danger and discovery, where a reboot comes from a place of safety and nostalgia.

TCL just showcased a 10k nit TV. That is ridiculous. For context, Superman (2025) peaked at 181 nits, and House of Dragons' especially dark scenes topped out at 50 nits.

I care about so little in life. Then I hear about diminishing public broadcasting and start cracking my knuckles.

Why don't people have lucky letters? Why are only numbers lucky?

I am at the DMV, every seat is full. Avenge me.

Please wake me when the cartoon animal boob discourse gets to "shouldn't her boobs be in/on her crotch?". That is when things really go off the rails.

Have to renew my license for mortgage reasons. I stg this bank is just fucking with me.

Watching the final KaiserBeamz history of Merry Melodies, and it's striking that the Muppets are taking the same journey.

Just realized Bandit is an archeologist because dogs love digging for bones.

I have lived in this house for nearly 17 years and my entire property appears to fit into 8 medium boxes.

It's ironic that Armando Iannucci, whose last series, satirizing franchise filmmaking, died a quick death is on Taskmaster with Kumail, whose franchise film basically marked the beginning of the downfall of the MCU

Alright, lesson learned, no gallows humor

A few days back I learned "Night Rider" was code for Klan member and now I can't talk about Michael and K.I.T.T. without feeling weird.

I have 39 minutes until three weeks of vacation, and it is *dragging*

"Guys in rubber suits can't be creepy!"

Good lord, Fozzy sounds more like Kermit than Kermit

"We need you off the deed to your current house asap to approve your mortgage" *removes self from mortgage* "We want to remove the contingency that you have to sell your house to your spouse" I swear to god, this bank

When you check a reply guy's TL and 80% of his skeets are hidden because of muted words...

"A lot of gunk came out" is not something you want to read on a plumber's report of your new bathtub

John Head is up there with Willie Johnson as a name 13 year olds would laugh at.

Do we think Black Cat has never been in a Spider-Man movie because she wants the mask to stay on and the movies cannot help themselves from having heroes remove their masks?

@seanferrick.bsky.social I know you're going to be busy with Academy for a while, but would you consider doing an ups and downs for The Orville when you're skint of content?

The liner notes booklet for Kamen Rider First/Next really puts into perspective how many times Toei has done the “this one goes back to Rider’s roots” gimmick. It’s like a constant thing. Even Amazon in 1974 was one of those.

This is full of quality sensible chuckles, would recommend

Literally, who's better than Kanyon?

Why KANYON rules!

Why would you wait until the last second on a Friday to communicate for the first time this week, mortgage people?!?

Has anyone got a media server I can get access to? I'm willing to pay monthly if you like.

When PAD died, everyone went after Marvel because of his medical bills, etc. but he was also *very* prolific in the Star Trek franchise, yet not a peep about Paramount jerking around creators.

Oh no, Ryan North is taking over The Flash after DC K.O. That makes me very sad

The 1982 DC Comics Style Guide

They finally got back to me about what all furniture is being left at the new place! It's basically full up.

Here's my pitch - Nancy Drew goes to Japan and runs into Golden Bat, she is somehow granted magical girl powers to turn into doggie Betty Boop to better track suspects

Just learned about "analog horror" and immediately want to erase it from my brain

Look Mix-a-lot, all I'm saying is "I ain't gonna cuss or hit ya" is not the grand gesture you seem to think it is

I really do love J, but I am so excited to get out of this house with all the fragrance minefields I have to walk through putting the dog to bed and making my own way to bed.

THREE YEARS, 3! How?!?

...Is Cyclops the reverse of Superman? Sans trunks works a whole lot better than with trunks for him.

Holy memory flood, Batman!

The most terrible realization to round out the old year, re: CG/visual design in the motion arts

They keep saying this is an Elongated Man figure, but I'll be damned if that isn't a perfect Jimmy Olson head portrait.

People really didn't like Waid's Flash run(s)? Did I swap universes or something?

Oh in-Hye

"Is there anything you want to paint, or change about your new place before you get all moved in?" "What? Absolutely not! Have you seen the place? It is 100% my aesthetic!"

I think this one wins

Ah, the lovely "Need my account number to sign in, but can't see my account number without signing in" Catch-22

Last RT: Has media literacy really come to this? The text yelling at you isn't enough?

…duh?

The other day I learned that "Jingle Bells" was part of a sub genre of "sleighing songs" equivalent to the early 60s muscle car song fad. Nothing ever changes
