I don’t care what your sign is. I want to know your fuck, marry, kill for the Lone Gunmen characters from The X-Files.

Hoping y’all have been having some Good Friday vibes 🤗

This AI shit - in addition to being gross - is also going to make the subprime mortgage crisis look like a blip. It won't be homes: it will be layoffs/downsizing. It's already started and only going to get worse, I fear.

My greatest advice is to be more than One Thing™ - instead, be many things! Folks want to force you in the box, but it can be exhausting and suffocating.

Me, trying to ramp myself up: "think of all the math you're about to get to do! There can be spreadsheets with formulas!"

A future big story - and I'll have a scoop about this next week! - is that Microsoft is straight up out of ideas. AI *has not worked for them*. Microsoft 365 Copilot (the AI part of their crown jewel of revenue) is shockingly unpopular. I'll reveal how unpopular Monday on wheresyoured.at

People are saying I’m the Hollow Knight of Bluesky posters. I assume because I occasionally make you want to quit in rage.

Didn't finish the arm tattoo, but thankfully I did get my secure door/safe/vault/filing cabinet combination stored someplace handy

I wouldn’t enjoy it, but if ever any of you needed me - like really needed me - I would be on the next flight back to the U.S. and I would show up to your door with a Sara Lee pound cake and I would do whatever was within my power to give you comfort. 💙

Lutheran nazi podcaster Ryan Dumperth took a break from his genocidal rants to take credit for this series delay, which he is afraid might paint him & his ilk in a bad light. (And like, he's not a colloquial nazi. He's a white Christian Nationalist Hitler-loving Nazi.)

Still looking for players in a little mini-campaign of Moonlight on Roseville Beach (no experience necessary!!) If you have some free Thursday nights, and want to help me get my Pro GM life up on the ground, I would be forever grateful!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Opera is, has been, and will continue to be accessible. The mystique is funny to parody à la Frasier but ultimately everyone deserves to be part of gorgeous art like opera or art galleries or coffeehouse poetry slams or indie podcasts or concerts or community theatre or etc etc etc

It feels like a hundred things are pulling me in a thousand different directions but today is only this

Really amazing episode of Fear Coded! Loved the discussion on this one. I'm always worried when it's about something I haven't read myself, but this only made me want to read the book more! Great episode all around.

Which kaiju smells the best

I'm a huge #OMITB fan but I was so excited in particular to discuss this episode and the brilliant decisions made to tell a story focusing on Theo. I really hope you'll give this a listen.

One of my early relationships exclusively was tethered to playing this game. He would try to initiate sex and I'd be like "we've almost unlocked all the cars!" Probably should have known I was asexual a little sooner.

Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge takes on The Simpsons: Road Rage, a Crazy Taxi clone that's so close to the original...it results in a lawsuit! @scifiexplosion.bsky.social splits the fare with us for a drive down memory lane about this entertaining game 🚕 Find the pod: glitterjaw.com/lee-carvallo

"Now, would you kindly find a crowbar or something?"

I heard you like end of episode bits.

Get ready to have a WHALE of a BAD TIME inside TWO STOMACHS of a SPERM whale (I assure you that the capitalization is necessary). Listen all the way through for Tyler lore 👀

TV fans know "jump the shark" to mean a moment when a TV show goes downhill, and it all started with this infamous moment in Happy Days when Henry Winkler showed off his real-life waterskiing skills. Is it as bad as history suggests? We get into it on our recent episode at gimmickspodcast.com!

Break and nap time

This is the very thesis statement for Bear Cruises.

“You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man.” really sums up “feminist” erasure of queer experiences. When we married and I took Mike’s last name I had to carry our marriage certificate with me for years when I traveled because Texas wouldn’t recognize the name change to update my ID.

Well we’re going to do it. It’s important work I’ll be ultimately proud of and the art will be there at the end 💙

Downgrade in my humble opinion, but Van Der Beek's handoff is so emotionally beautiful that it boosts my impression of Miranda. deadline.com/2025/09/jame...

War on drugs: - ineffective - wasteful - racist Lydia Tár on drugs: - artistic - compelling - erotic

I was pretty late to covering AI but seemed to get it right in February 2023 www.wheresyoured.at/degenerative...

On Friday, I had a call about an opportunity that will be a substantial time commitment, further delaying the art work I want to do in design/drawing. I am sort of resigned that I will likely end up saying yes to it. 😕

Bring back 20-24 episode seasons of TV.

How I was trying to be this morning at the gym.

Wasn’t feeling it but I did a job this morning anyway

The dot-com bubble was before Zuckerberg even started using the Internet to objectify female classmates at Harvard. AI is a bad bet now and will be a bad bet later.

In college, I read Sun Tzu and Machiavelli, and was like "oh, duh" and wondered why they were groundbreaking, and then I get invited to create presentations on business management and I say things like "use a calendar" and the audience explodes in surprise.

The Touchstone Films logo is apparently meant to be like a calligraphy brush stroke but I always thought it looked like the Challenger disaster or a spaceship breaking up in the atmosphere. Always found it very sound and melancholic.

A trifling matter

Love when we get to have chill conversations about lots of TV!

I'm at the phase in my writing project where I write a couple dozen words every ten minutes and then stand up, take my coffee into another room, and stare out the window.

More scripts need to describe characters as "immense."

"Gimmicks: A TV Podcast" is like being shot by an ice bullet, an actual device used in the television program FATHER DOWLING MYSTERIES.
