I watched Babe last night. While most of it was exactly as I remembered, I've somehow never connected it to that other animal sports movie from just two years later. Seriously, the climax hinges on officials checking the book and determining that "ain't no rule says the pig can't play shepherding."

In the mid-'90s, my family briefly had a cat* named Libby, who often jumped on the table, table, table. Despite having this jingle in and out of my head for 30+ years, I've never actually seen/heard the commercial before. No one told me about the pull-string. *Biting, scratching, stinking demon

Why do I return to the same old Simpsons seasons again and again? Consider Homie the Clown, which I watched this morning for the first time since the (partial) release of the Epstein files. By my count, Dick Cavett voices himself for just 55 words, and four of them are this humblebrag. Incredible.

I was already sick of this disgusting propaganda three weeks ago. Since then, I don't think I've gone a single day without seeing it. It's on network TV. It's on streaming services. It can't be skipped on YouTube. Does this desperate campaign mean the A.I. creeps actually fear public opposition?

Seriously? Who gave Robyn Miller the red pages?

I want anyone complaining about the new Star Fox character designs to remember that they promoted the last game with honest-to-Henson Muppets, and it still underperformed. We deserve our Lion King remake, TMJ-disorder taxidermy.

Shouldn't this song be outdated?

How does the giraffe talk? What does he say?

Luke MacSing spends his days delivering testosterone supplements to local podcast studios, but that's not all he's slinging. Word has it he also supplies information to Females. Dox his home address, and then neg him until he spills the red pills on Carmen's last known whereabouts.

Where In the Manosphere Is Carmen Sandiego?

Oh, really? Is he still around? Personally, I prefer David BEFORE dentist.

I don't see how anyone can interpret 867-5309 as anything other than a call to violence.

As relevant today as when it was written.

This song makes a good case for music. Recommended for anyone who was on the fence.

One of the most vile commercials I've ever seen.

How can I reach the person who's in charge of TV? A nurse just told me three words ("pencil," "light," and "hamburger") and then asked me to recall them a couple minutes later, which I did, flawlessly, but she doesn't know how to put me on television to tell the world about my perfect score.

Learning that Ken and Roberta Williams are A.I. suckers isn't terribly surprising, but it is profoundly disappointing.

Has there been any push back on the rapid return of "crazy" and "insane?"

What is a corner store girl? I've never heard that term. I know what a corner store girl is but I've never heard it described— a corner store girl?

Thanks to the My Nintendo app, my sister and I unlocked a very special photo border to commemorate the date and location of our Mario's Galactic Movie viewing. Naturally, I had it printed as an 8"x10" glossy to stick on the fridge.

I think anyone who was given a copy of Star Fox Zero and a deadline was right to give it a bad review. Every time I've sat down, determined to make sense of it and push myself to the end, I've bounced right off. Lately, though, I've been playing 30-45 minutes per day, and I really enjoy it!

The heck? Is Church of the Rock skipping the Easter play this year? I know it's already Easter morning, but there's still time to make this right! They could grab some overalls and fake mustaches and tell me the story of the crucifixion and the extra life.

My sister was trying to find a decades-old anti-drug commercial that we still sing all the time. Success! She found it...nine minutes into an episode of a show that I can only describe as drugs. Maybe I should finish watching the video before sharing it, but I'm too excited. You NEED to see this.

There isn't any broccoli or beer in my house. There's coffee cake and vegan ice cream, though, so I'll have to suffer through the day with some of that.

Thanks, Reddit nerds, for showing me how to change the bad Firefox search toolbar back to the good Firefox search toolbar! 1. Go to "about:config" (without quotes) in the address bar. 2. Search for browser.search.widget.new 3. Set that nonsense to FALSE. 4. That's it! Yay!

"Nuremberg" is the sort of title that tells you everything you need to know. As much as I respect a story that uses the past to comment on the present, I felt no need to watch it. Well, for whatever reason, I gave it a shot, and yeah, it's what I expected. And it is outstanding. Highly recommended.

Less than a year ago, I was excited to see ~50 people gather somewhere in the Houston area. Today, there were hundreds of us at a No Kings protest within walking distance of my house. A minute after I took my place in the line, so many people had filled in behind me that I couldn't see the end.

I needed to save part of an image. Simple job. No need for good editing software, so I thought I'd toss it in Microsoft Paint, crop it, save it, and be done in seconds. Wow. I expected that Paint had been poisoned by Co-Pilot since I last used it, but I didn't expect CROPPING to be too much to ask.

WATCH THIS VIDEO OVER AND OVER,

Secret Mall Apartment is a fabulous surprise. An easy recommendation for anyone who loves art and despises capitalism.

I encountered the non-word "ridiculizing" yesterday, and I can't get it out of my head.

Shouldn't DLSS 5 training data be game specific? Can't you take all the impossible development assets—high-fidelity models, textures, lighting, etc. that have to be simplified in order to run on consumer-grade hardware—and render them on VFX supercomputers to maintain bespoke art direction?

As a writer, as a friend, as a human being, there is no overstating my love for Jenn Frank.

My search for the '90s doll that giggles and says, "I made a stinky!" led me to this YouTube collection of 50 Baby Alive commercials. I couldn't find the one that giggles, but I did learn that various models say, "Mommy, I made a stinky!" "Uh oh! I made a stinky!" and "Did I make a stinky?" Neat.

This song goes out to someone special.

The barista just wished me "happy holidays." You can say MAR10!!!!!!!!!

Last night I watched An Hour Behind, in which Daylight Saving Time magic causes an emotionally unstable cupcake baker to fall in love with one of the 7th Heaven kids. I don't have anything else to say about it. It's what you think. Just thought you should know that a time-change rom-com exists.

The phrase "boots on the ground" has been all over the news lately. These words mean killing. These words mean dying. These stupid words mean my stupid brain adding, "Lookin' like a fool with your boots on the ground!" every stupid time.

All bombing is terrorism.

"No, ma'am, Congress should not have been consulted on it because we have so many enemies on the Democrats' side that are very loyal to a lot of these Muslim states." - Rep. Tim Burchett, announcing the end of any pretext of American democracy

You can interfere in my crisis.

Freedom, justice, security, prosperity, superiority... It's absurdly easy to convince Americans that wars are good. We'll believe anything, justify anything, and scream at anyone who doesn't salute. So when bombing the Middle East isn't met with coast-to-coast cheers? Yeeeeah, that's unusual.

Congratulations, Hannah! It's a good day to be a Spencer.

Is there a doctor in the house? My movement specialist asked me to record a video of the spasms I have every single night and every single morning, which wasn't hard to do, since they happen every single night and every single morning. Can anyone help diagnose this?

Different song, but similar song.

"Trans rights" is a good slogan because it really is that simple. There's more to say, of course, but that core concept isn't negotiable. I have no room in my life for anyone who disagrees.

The United States does not have a conservative party and a liberal party. We have a regressive party and a reactionary party.

After decades of assuming they'd never get official re-releases, Nintendo Switch Online now offers Virtual Boy and Super Nintendo mouse games, which got me thinking about what else was tied to weird hardware. My friends owned Super Scopes, but they never had batteries, so I've never used one.
