I think the tendency to take older intellectual property and making it dark and gritty has run its course. Time to start adapting older texts to be maximally horny.

I was playing Control: Resonant and glitched through the floor and into a void space and the thing about a Remedy game is that I wasn’t sure if this was intentional or not. Turns out it wasn’t. But I was not immediately sure of that.

This has evolved into another friend buying her a Lions tshirt (which she is wearing today.) She is nervous about wearing it outside lest anybody talk to her about sports. I said “all you have to say is ‘I think we could go all the way this year.’” She had become that episode of The IT Crowd.

Last year after the Super Bowl, @thegiggas.bsky.social remarked that his team (Jaguars) has never even been to the Super Bowl. My wife, who has 0% interest in any sport, said “it’s okay, neither has my team.” This has spawned into an ongoing bit about how she is a die hard Detroit Lions fan.

It's cool and awesome that every century or so we have to relearn the hard lessons about why we invented government because some dumb motherfuckers forget that the cornerstone of Civilization is a thousand boring little bureaucrats doing their job, not Great Men Being Violent.

I have sort of accidentally taken a break from social media almost entirely. Not for any reason other than I suddenly forgot about it. It has been nice actually, except for the fact that I have many friends and acquaintances who I really only keep in contact with via the very same social media.

Okay so the actual plot of this movie is like “whoever could harness the power of solar would be unstoppable” and 52 years later we’re like “no we need to keep burning coal because freedom or something.” But also he does have a golden gun.

“Man with the Golden Gun? What’s that one about?” “Well see, there’s this man.” “Yeah?” “And he’s got a gun.” “So, what?” “And the gun is golden.” “OH SHIT.” “RIGHT?”

I realize it’s not the same system but also I’ve played Microsoft Flight Simulator and the AI ATC dropped me to 6,000 feet on a night approach into Boise and the mountain just outside of Boise is about 7,500 feet. There were no survivors. Color me skeptical.

The James Bond rewatch continues with the 1972 film “Live and Let Die”, which dares to ask the question “what if not only every Black person knew each other, but they were also part of the same massive heroin empire?” So. Y’know. That exists.

This is the most revealing peak inside Donald Trump's brain we've ever been given, in the sense that only someone with literal mush for brains would consider putting these songs together. It's baffling. When we ask whether Trump is a unique historical actor, this is the evidence pointing to yes.

Are Mentos commercials still a thing? If I did something really weird to work around an inconvenience and then held up a thing of breath mints, would teens today understand the reference or would they just be confused and call me unc?
