I sometimes wish there were official levels or degrees for rating blasphemies, so that we could say that this one is a "yocto-blasphemy" or something like that.

Got a Google Alert on myself (shut up), & today for no reason it sent me a link to this page from deep in the CBR archives. A snapshot of what comics journalism on my watch looked like 13 years ago. Axel-in-Charge! Robot 6! Actual comics reviews & interviews! I miss it. www.cbr.com/archive/24052/

They sent me my blu-ray of Master and Commander coded for the wrong region. Playback restrictions are now battlefields.

A note I found yesterday while walking in Portland.

Nightmare on Elm Street except instead of the ghost of a janitor killing the kids of his murder, it's the ghost of a child killing the cops that stood around and let a bunch of kids get murdered during a school shooting.

That man is going to die of natural causes while everyone argues about building him a $400 million dollar bunker. They need to build a ballroom for his immune system.

Very sorry to hear about the death of the heroically decent Gerry Conway. I admired his doomed but utterly sincere efforts to reclaim the Punisher symbol from right-wing weirdos.

Placing a ban on Criterion Closet visitors recommending My Life As A Dog. It stinks!

If the Ellison bid for Warner Bros. falls apart, it'll be over stuff like this. He only went on CBS bc he thought it was safe.

PETER JACKSON: and if you really think about it, would an enemy as fiendish and as diabolical as Sauron pour all of his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate into just one ring? with no backup? of course he wouldn't. of course he had a second ring

I held back on shit-talking Mr. Beast for a long time because all I really knew about him was he had a face like a haunted doll. I didn't want to hold that against him, but it turns out he's pretty evil anyway so let's call that a W for the ol' intuition.

This is wild: the authors find evidence for giant, macro-predatory octopuses in Late Cretaceous oceans that might max out at *62 feet long,* comfortably large enough to attack, kill and eat mosasaurs

Would love to see Mr Beast taken down before he becomes a Zuckerberg level threat

How is it the only two summer movies I'm actually excited about are the Ben McKenzie crypto doc and Coyote Vs. Acme

They look like a band that got played twice on 120 Minutes

Walking to the chalkboard, writing the word Quibi, then adding a dollar sign to the end of the word.

Remember when "chaos theory" was the hot thing? I'm reading an article from 1991 and it hit me in the face like the smell of a Starbucks inside a Barnes and Noble

the most obviously insane part of this is that the flu is going to annihilate these guys, but the second most insane part is, since when is "freedom" something you're supposed to have while you're in *the army*? Like, very specifically freedom is the thing that you give up!

true crime brain has fucked people up so bad and they get really mad when you point that out. and also that the entire true crime industry is predatory and exploitative

Every day somebody shares a take like "AI has achieved its Platonic form, the arts are cooked" and the attached video is a sterile RPG cutscene acted out by a bunch of humanoid Gumby dolls.

just write it terrible for five minutes and see where it goes. or write questions to yourself into the draft—“what the fuck goes here, i don’t know, but it’s something about blah blah this will sound smarter later” is acceptable rough draft material

Gene Wilder would've kicked ass

Not surprised to learn American artichokes are worse than Italian artichokes. This country's reputation for ruining things is unmatched.

My most based opinion is that good socks are a human right and should be enumerated as such in constitutions and international treaties.

absolutely love this Trump appointee pining for more "Swan Lake" programming. maybe it could even air on television, on special occasions! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...

I like the Sisu movies. They're basically a Finnish John Wick cycle set around World War II with a Wile E. Coyote sense of physics.

The New York Times is now blocking The Wayback Machine from accessing its articles. That means you'll no longer be able to view archived versions of NYT stories published in 2026 and beyond on archive.org. (All those posts you see tracking changes to NYT headlines and ledes? They relied on WBM).

well duh. It’s not like they can beat their last performance

"Oh, hey, this MURDER SHE WROTE has Brad Dourif, Roddy McDowall, Dee Wallace...oh and Bill Maher..."

It's true; I've only seen 2 Canada license plates in VT in 2026 thus far. We're justifiably considered a pariah nation now, & neighboring states like NH are working hard to become pariah states within our nation (there's already a list of 'em I'll never willingly spend a nickel in again in my life).

I love how politicians and journalists have talked about "the economy" for my entire life as if it were real. Astrology for people with oxygen loss to their brains from too tight lanyards. The economy is good/bad right now? Wow. Ok man thanks.

Annoying that the definition of the antichrist is "huge piece of shit" and not someone different from Jesus in every way. Would love to meet the guy who can't feed his dinner party no matter how much fish and bread he serves, has extra flesh on his palms, and fucked up a woodcutter's foot

Kaneda Kazuo- Cat on Peach Tree

JD the internationalist.

wow, in 2024 trump won budapest by twenty points.

How do I tell my phone there's literally only one news alert I would ever want to get.

wait they just came back and went in the ocean? If they wanted to go to the ocean why did they go all the way to the moon first. The ocean is right there! You don't need a rocket ship for that!

I just researched this and ChatGPT told me I should drink one to three Molotov cocktails daily, for my health

There's a new HAMLET movie opening this weekend but seeing it would make me too sad because my late son had a name kind of like Hamlet. ("Skippy.")

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

Trump term 2.0 is just his personal make a wish foundation as executed by his goons in the cabinet edition.cnn.com/2017/09/25/o...

... realizing that Linda McMahon is in the order of succession for President of the United States of America might be The Final It. This might be what finally breaks me.

Everyone was in agreement that they did not believe in Hell anymore per se. Was it even mentioned in the Bible after all? But also that they nevertheless wished that it were in fact real. If only for the sake of these goddamned bastards.

I know we've all been wishing for the clot to hit him, but have we tried picking a specific time and all Really concentrating hard, together

The Seattle area should have been building out housing for millions of climate refugees. Instead Seattle City Council (and most other local govts) have dithered to NIMBY lies for decades.

I think it would be bad for the other astronauts

It’s a really special parasocial relationship when there’s someone you’ve followed for years without a follow back. like yessss that’s my friend that doesn’t know me and doesn’t want to
