NYT: Between Jeffrey Epstein and "Corn Pop", both Trump and Biden have troubling past associations.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I don't even like coffee (crazy for a Seattleite, I know), but whenever I finally get out to the Mai-Kai I will absolutely be ordering a coffee grog.

No one is above DLaw

Share a great female villain

But Hawkblogger said Carolina doesn't have a pass rush.

When it's November

I haven't seen Memento since it was in theaters, and have been wanting to revisit it as it's the Nolan I most connected with, but for me this checks out.

Robot, please generate a prophecy I received from God Robot, please write a worship song about Charlie Kirk Robot, please write a sermon about the sanctity of human life Robot, how can I use a parsonage as a tax shelter Robot, how do I know if I'm a good person Robot, why do I fear death

Wait, is Elf to blame for the "millennial grey" home decor trend (or as I call it, "flipper grey")???? Papa elf seen here chilling in his remodeled colorless home that he tells all his friends is "modern minimalism".

I know things are rough online when I'm dreaming of the discourse being merely of the Princess Adelaide's whooping cough variety.

When streamers decide to only offer the edited version of It's a Wonderful Life, be like Ian

Let's try this again - show me your physical media! Got back into VHS, bought or received a record, commissioned an original piece? Let's see it! In a time of AI, media mergers, and streaming killing access to real art, how did you fight back/celebrate human creativity and expression this Christmas?

It's nice being able to turn off the alarm and wake up naturally, to the sound of my cat puking.

25 years in no way makes this deeply unpleasant movie any less so. If anything, it only underlines the irony-poisoned, TV-addled era in which it was produced. Grinch 2000 is the answer to a question that no one has ever asked: “What if The Cable Guy was a Christmas movie?”

Just because it IS the 25th anniversary of Grinch 2000 does not mean you actually have to observe it.

Our hero sees this skeet and runs to the window, throws open the shutter and asks the nearest child what day it is. "Why, it's Christmas day, sir" "Then I haven't missed it!" the Grim Reaper replies excitedly, grabbing his cloak and sickle.

And now, time for one of my favorite Christmas social media traditions: show me your physical media! What did Santa bring you to read, watch, or listen to? I got a bit of each, plus a renewed membership to @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social, the best video rental store in the world!

Weird knowing that shadow president Stephen Miller, being Jewish, does not agree with this, but is more than happy to play nice with the Christian Nationalists as long as he gets to keep doing racism as national policy.

Here we are as in olden days, happy golden days of

Now that it's been out for decades and is an established classic, I wonder how many people out there are only familiar with the Muppet version of A Christmas Carol and think the story has always featured two Marleys, don't catch the Robert/Bob Marley joke.

He goes nuts when everyone is talking about something other than him.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, owing to the fact that he spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder

Meka Leka Hi Meka Ho Ho Ho, everybody

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT tiptoe through the tulips

As an exvangelical, this is crazy! In my world, nobody gets to have grandparents who love their trans grandkids.

If I were a tech startup person, I would start a streaming music company called Human Music, pitched as "What if Spotify paid artists and banned AI music?"

This charming video was uploaded to Youtube 8 years ago and has 18 views. Apparently in 1984 people really wanted Santa to bring them good grades or a car. youtu.be/1QcfJeStW7M?...

We are, quite simply, raising a generation of morons. There's many ways of getting to Idiocracy, and "let's outsource thinking and learning to computers" is certainly one of them. When "Ow My Balls" becomes the #1 show in the country, you can bet it will be made with AI.

I guess my 14yo isn't the only one who considers The Thing a Christmas movie.

Neat listen here, a cassette version of the Muppet Christmas Carol, condensing the story to about 30 minutes, with narration from Gonzo and Fozzie that is different from the film, recorded just for this. youtube.com/watch?v=C2Uj...

👀

Worth noting that this is the essence of apologetics-based debate/argument. Canned responses and no intention of actual engagement with what the other person (paper, book, etc) is saying. It's not about learning or growing, it's about winning. This is also why conservatives love AI.

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

This strikes me as a relevant piece of information for one famous pedophile to have shared with another famous pedophile about a third famous pedophile who is also the most powerful man in the world, days before being found dead.

DOINK!

I removed him from the version my family watches a few years ago. So much better.

These teams are playing like they don't have Jason Myers on the roster.

Awesome Christmas card just arrived from @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social and it went right in the tree next to my Scarecrow ornament.

here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

I watched this whole trailer without being able to recognize Matt Damon as the actor playing Odysseus, and the only thing different about him is he has a beard. I would absolutely fall for the Clark Kent disguise, apparently.

Unhinged shit. Conservatives are not well.

Looking for some retro gaming holiday cheer? Check out my compilation of Sierra On-Line's Christmas card demos from 1986 through 1992. When I came downstairs on Christmas morning as a 9 year old, my first computer (a Tandy 1000 EX) was under the tree with the 1986 version playing on a loop. 🎄

The only network brave enough to tackle the most important issues of day. Get ready for: Is a Hot Dog a Sandwich Die Hard: A Christmas Movie? Yanny v. Laurel The Dress: Blue & Black or White & Gold Who is the Villain of Breaking Bad: Walter or Skyler White? Are There Ethics in Games Journalism?

The part I'm hung up on is "able to have contentious disagreements." People fetishize "being able to disagree" when they've spent their life being the one obnoxious asshole everyone else in the room has to argue with until they leave.

A great thing about a new year is each new year could be the year when the Best Breaking News Ever finally happens.

Because it's a perfectly fine song. I think Beatles fans are just too hung up on what a Paul McCartney song "should" sound like.

I said to Grok create woman with big boobs and pretty face who is totally hot first. People are stealing my art

Have you seen "prompt engineers" or "AI artists" jealously guard or hide their prompts or accuse others of stealing their 'work' (prompts)? Incredible shit

It's a whole genre it's beautiful
