I have absolutely no interest in the third Hobbit film. I've seen the first two films multiple times and I keep insisting I should have an academic interest in the final film. But I'm just so bored by it's existence.

I swear this was an accident...

Idk, I guess I should have more conflicted feelings about the Fire Red/Leaf Green prices but frankly I've always found it weird that they don't just make the NSO catalog also available to purchase games separately and let it be a choice.

The Japanese title was "Captain Supermarket"

I just watched that gold medal figure skating and just, holy shit.

We are all circling around the fact that "doing as much practically as possible and then using CG to get past the artistic goal line" has been a strong, workable outcome, but we keep pushing "all practical" vs "CGI will save film forever" and AI bros know just do the thing and lie because it works.

This is the evolution of everyone realizing it's good marketing to say "we didn't use CGI for the Special FX" and then a trained filmmaker comes in and says "actually here's literally every piece that recquired a computer to come in and finalize the image." AI shitheads will always say it's all AI.

As a patriots fan, and thus existing in Kraft country, I want to be very clear that "American cheese" and "Kraft" are not actually exclusive. It's actually okay to like it and also say "fuck Kraft." No one is judging you.

I'm not popular enough to be the object of scorn, but I want to be clear that this is me

As far as I'm concerned @whstancil.bsky.social and Gavin Newsom are on the same wavelength and neither one of them should be public voices

I've clearly had a bad day. I'm in a fighting mood. But fuck @whstancil.bsky.social and whatever holier-than-thou bullshit he's peddling that only favors the conservative mindset that also fuels ICE. Either you respect human beings, or you think "poor people could pay less" and comply

People literally budget for savings because that money can be the lifeline for a medical emergency, and it could be the one and only time you can take a road trip with your family, absolutely fuck you and this belief.

My going belief is that Will will never block or quote tweet a cishet white dude who thinks he's a fucking knob.

Absolutely fucking stupid to pick one of the most used ingredients in cooking. I'm just gonna keep doing this til he either blocks me or apologizes to eggs.

Seeing multiple people quit a job that obviously sucks while you continue to rationalize doing the job kind of fucks you up.

Just free reign for any Republican to just run as a Democrat. It worked for Fetterman, Sinema, Eric Adams, it's gonna work for Newson and then he'll throw under a series of busses driven by Charlie Kirk fans.

I both cannot believe, and am fully unsurprised, the (online, at least) discourse around Dem candidates seems to be that it's all but a given that Newsom will win the primaries and anyone that says they don't want him in the General Election is a psyop commie who's solely responsible for fascism.

So much in the world right now is terrible and yet I was not prepared for the music video for Some Nights by Fun. A song that I believe is the perfect example of "had me in the first half."

I know it's 11 o'clock at night and I have work tomorrow, but also, what if I watched The Muppet Movie, or O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Knowing at least one other horror film already released has been getting super-hyped means I'm paying extra attention to anything Scott Weinberg says is fantastic. Me, I'm anyone, Scott knows horror.

We went there, and now we're back again! Today Shelved by Genre concludes our reading of THE HOBBIT, discussing a bit more Tolkien's literary scholarship as it inflects his aesthetic projects and why therefore Beowulf needed a little guy who followed him around. rangedtouch.com/2026/02/13/t...

Cum is sort of like an easter egg for savvy genital users

I can text a friend I met when we were waiting for the bus to go to kindergarten and ask if he still wants to get drinks next time he's in town to see his mom.

I have a fantasy football league and a second group chat with mostly friends from high school and the only two exceptions are partners they met later. I also come from a town where the HS mascot is the Townie and it's pretty common to just never move away.

introducing my column about resistance in fiction for @aftermath.site. I’m calling it THE WORK aftermath.site/oscars-revol...

Im very lucky Waypoint launched at a time I needed critical media literacy and cultural understanding. I count myself luckier that I can learn from @jmrivera.bsky.social @austinwalker.bsky.social and more from @aftermath.site and @rangedtouch.bsky.social about how art can teach but isn't singular

Was it ever confirmed that the Penguin car chase in The Batman was filmed during COVID lockdowns? It's all extreme closeups of their faces in the driver seats, and then sort of not exciting establishing shots of cars careening down a non-distinct freeway doing non-stunts.

This is how you do character-acting: I'm currently watching Jeffery Wright play Gordon in The Batman while my father is watching Jeffery Wright play the Felix Leiter in James Bond as fully independent decisions we just made today.

It's in fact incredibly intellectually healthy to see the arc of a story and understand how an ending happens fully regardless of whether that ending is "hopeful," or "bleak."

I promise it is okay if a movie/book/game/show ends on a down note. In fact, the writers/actors/devs almost certainly did it for a reason and had long long critical thoughts about why it had to happen. And you can have your own long think about why it happened fully separated from that intent.

It's going back to 40 degree weather... It might be time to try a mustache again for the.... ..... ... Fifth(?) time

Found an older one

Oldest selfie on my phone (and also probably in existence of me?)

I can't believe the finale of Gladlands is @vicmmic.bsky.social and @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social doing an episode of VIP, but also, of course that's where we landed.

Here's what you do: You say "let's do a quick check-in" and then you slap this down on the table

*without hesitation* 3 and 6.

Idk why it's hitting so hard (I do), but seeing @vicmmic.bsky.social play Hugi to the tilt, and burning out so hard to test this game system, is maybe one of the best actual play roles I ever watched. They made a clear commitment that Hugi burns and burns fucking brightly.

I simply love the rocket penguins in Batman Returns. No qualifier, no irony, they fucking rule.

Kamala Harris would have never insisted on prosecuting Trump, would never have abolished ICE, and vaguely MAYBE would have insisted on a ceasefire, but never would have called Palestine an independent nation, and I still voted for her hoping for something better. I'm still allowed to criticize.

Watched the new Muppet Show with my folks and it was a delight to share that with them, but I cannot help but feel like there's a fuller version of the Don't Stop Me Now ending that felt really truncated.

As someone who has never played dragon quest,I'm starting to think DQ7 reimagined might actually be For Me.

I either have to evacuate this entire run of DS2 for the year, or at least give up on the DLC and just run the endgame. Screwed up the Fume Knight, absolutely killing myself on the unfrozen Eleum Loyce run to grab the knights. I really do like DS2 more than its rep, but these DLCs always drag.

The Anime Adventures of Scooby Doo would be an absolute classic of a series that's built on just smashing the Scooby Gang into a bunch of random bullshit.

I hesitated promoting this one because it has my most embarrassing recorded moment, just fully lost the thread in the middle of a sentence. But fuck it. That's me, and Dayle absolutely supported me through it. open.spotify.com/episode/5jI6...
