my eyes roll back and turn white as i call my dentist to reschedule

Bernard Hepton as Toby Esterhase is an all-time “hard in the paint” performance

gonna go ahead and say i don’t think this is gonna end well. mostly because “guy who is good at running off-the-leash kinetic operations” doesn’t tend to be synonymous with “guy who is good at dealing with lots of bureaucracy”

“…WYLIE IS, SUSPICIOUS.”

imagine having your neurons so cooked that you think CIA is actually good at getting people into the streets

A month ago I adopted a one eyed hamster from my local animal shelter

found the new CBS mission statement.

the death of saints (aka the coolest night lord) crippled a guy in his warband for disagreeing with him, then punished him by putting him in a dreadnaught. there was a nostroman night lord literally begging other night lords for mercy. please do not put me in the Big Box.

you’d think the guy who shot harambe would be in witness protection, right?

One thing that I've maintained from a cybersecurity perspective is that code is a cultural artifact representing the culture and policies of the people that make it. This is as true of the GRU and SVR as it is of Claude and ChatGPT.

i think we know exactly who made this

Great cover on this new Hayakawa edition. Does Case look almost but not quite Keanu-esque to you?

who is that you hear screaming? it is me, I'm the one who is screaming. many thanks to ashley judd for sharing with me her memories of working on michael mann's HEAT; at @vulture.com: www.vulture.com/article/ashl...

Big new years news: it's hard to tell from this picture but Fizgig is flat out 100% cuddling me for the first time ever! Happy New Year's to me 🥹

I have a 4 hour drive tomorrow I can’t stay up until 4 am to watch Tinker Tailor

2026 is about la mer posting

no one understands how hard I’m lip syncing right now

hey @thee-grungler.bsky.social pass the aux

first song of 2026

last movie of 2025 was the 3h cut of American Gangster with my dad, come at me 2026 ill eat you

we have no alternative but to say “fuck it, we ball”

best first-watches of 2025: 10. high sierra 9. outland 8. the dogs of war 7. predator: badlands 6. brotherhood of the wolf 5. haunted samurai 4. den of thieves 2: pantera 3. one battle after another 2. alien: covenant 1. bram stoker’s dracula

40 days, one hour, and eight minutes until Spring Training

just found out this is what my dad was rolling around in back in the day

sometimes, it is — in fact — enough.

it brings me no pleasure to say this, but gen alpha will make the same mistake as millennials. they will abandon high rise trousers and adopt skinny, low rise pants, deeming the first to be too "old" and the second "young." then their children will rightly mock them.

someone on letterboxd said “dracula untold” — the movie where dracula has a superhero origin story — is a metaphor for obama

“don’t get me started on the fucking navy” is a true bsky sentiment

AS WITHIN SO WITHOUT

"People are always saying how much they love me pranks but until now they've only been for me celebrity friends. This fall on NBC, that all changes when me new show debuts. And if you're not careful, the prank may be on you." -Ringo Starr promoting PRANKMASTER (NBC, September 1981 - September 1981)

me after exactly one beer

this is beautiful.

YOUR SWAG TOO DIFFERENT

Like throw all your hot takes about Kennedys accomplishments, and poo poo Great Man theory, but i truly believe we live in the one celestial path where the Cuban missile crisis doesn't go tits up, and only that boozing pill popping fuckboy son of a bootlegger could have done it

Mass Effect style dialogue wheel except the only dialogue options ever offered are "No, yeah, for sure." and "Damn, that's crazy"

and i need you more than want you and i want for all time and the Wichita Lineman is still on the liiiiine

“Agency/Anathema: The Physical-Psychological Annihilation Equation as Manifestation of Deterrence Dynamics in the Individual-Collective Cold War in Vince Gilligan’s Plur1bus” or “Carol LeMay Sturka: Why Bad Girls Need the Bomb”

the channel is started and we’re calling it The Exhausted Historian going to try to bridge the divide between the study of extremism, us history, and connect it to our modernity planned as mostly lectures, thoughts, and deeper context for @theloopcast.bsky.social shows

even this modernity’s stand alone complex is dumb

barkeep, hit me with the painquil’n’bourbon, i got a lot to atone for

[shoving yeats into a locker] how’s the gyre fuckass

when the GRU wants to look busy, it deploys jankass wiper malware at Ukrainian water management networks. when CIA wants to look busy, it blows up empty infrastructure with drones. we are all the same.

the original title of Predator (1987) was “Mudbath Beefcakes Tricked in Jungle”

listen i had two last night and while it was fun at the time i felt like shit for 3 hours after and i STANK
