thinking about this true detective valentine’s day card

instead of making Gore Verbinski’s BioShock and Guillermo del Toro’s At the Mountains of Madness, Universal made Battleship, and I hold it against them.

me settling in to scroll on the timeline

no kings, except for him

the tech industry

the right doesn’t have the culture

the pervasive AI, sports betting, and crypto commercials during the super bowl are bleak

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

recession indicator: most of the SAG showing up in big game commercials

chris pratt jump scare at the big game

green day was formative for me

i hope richard kind appears at the big game

Just remembered a photoshop I had a little fun with.

FLCL: yeah. that’s how puberty went for me, too.

me putting on a Cake album

we love John Carroll Lynch

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

a good pal/creative collaborator and I have completed our script

i’m so tired of the worst people being in charge

big things are happening at waffle house

being non-binary

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

whenever anyone brings up matthew yglesias, i think about this post

if you ban dril from your platform, you’re not a serious platform

jordan peterson’s voice is one of the funniest things i’ve ever heard and it’s not intentional. that’s just what he sounds like.

every so often, i remember this sign and then burst out laughing

i am hoping for the death of the music biopic

looking through the epstein files

hm. wonder why this got rewritten.

this doesn’t even happen during good movies

i think we all could use a new half-life game

One of my favorite jokes of all time is "Adolph Hitler Commits Suicide" being a tiny headline under the banner story about a hare-vs-tortoise race ... in 1943, two years before Hitler committed suicide. He was alive and well when the Warner Bros. cartoonists made this joke.

if I were trapped in a perpetual time loop set on Groundhog Day, I’d simply befriend the groundhog

Send Help: I hope it’s not another 17 years before Sam Raimi bestows us with another horror movie

it’s a hell of a time to be a victim of abuse. you see the worst things and then have try to go about your day. it weighs on you.
