Two muffins are in an oven. One turns to the other and says, “hot in here, huh?” The other muffins turns and screams, “AAAAAAGGGHHH! A TALKING MUFFIN!” (Better in person to exaggerate the second muffin’s reaction)

There’s a Jimothy mural right around the corner from my home. Pretty cool!

Mural of Jimothy on nearby building. A purple cartoon Jimothy is scurrying across a wooden fence in front of a yellow sky and Ballard train bridge over ship canal.

From Wikipedia: Jimothy (born est. 2026) is a wild raccoon living in Seattle. His unusual short, rounded shape, likely the result of a spinal deformity, led to him becoming a viral internet sensation in July 2026.

I don’t remember woke 1.0 going too far but I do remember when Sarah had to work alongside a guy whose behavior resulted in her work paying a $1M+ sexual harassment settlement.

Not a lot of gore in this show? It sounds so good, but that’s one of my issues with horror as well.

You're making up scenarios in your head to justify your continuing hatred for this woman. I'm curious how often you pull this trick whenever you're challenged to empathize with a woman in your personal life.

It must have been easy to convince Josh Hart to sign with this Tommy John company. "Sign with us and everyone will know you have a big dick" was probably a pretty persuasive pitch.

Michael Keaton, too! Even though I was only nine at the time and never saw the movie, I have a clear memory of Clean and Sober being marketed as his first dramatic role.

Have you seen Hip-hop Evolution on Netflix? I thought it was pretty great but, having only seen Baseball, I don't know how it would compare in depth and magnitude to Burns's typical productions.

The reasoning on display here seems less "I know more than you do because I'm an elected official" and more "I am an expert in my field as my position demonstrates", which (I think at least) is a meaningful distinction that can't really be made here anymore.

There is nothing wrong with asking people not use the r word or asking them not to use gay as a pejorative. But it's very brave of you to stand up for the bigoted losers who have started using it again.

I don’t think they should be able to show commercials for horror films before YouTube videos. They scare children and me.

I am aware of their warnings, but I don’t feel their actions thus far have been the best they can do. I guess we disagree on that, but I don’t reflexively hate the Dems and I don’t think my post suggested I did.

I mean, can you really say that the Democratic party is presenting themselves as a unified opposition that fully grasps the gravity of the situation? The lawsuits are great, I agree, but they should be calling this what it is.

He signed up to be a cop but failed their entrance exam, so he decided to work for border patrol instead! Now he's a cop on the peninsula. Aside: this man once knowingly dropped off his partner's child at day care with a soiled diaper because he freaked out and couldn't manage it.

I once worked with a guy who was booted from several projects and ultimately fired from our company for being completely worthless. He was, honestly, the dumbest professional colleague I've ever had. He got another contract gig at Starbucks but was fired within six months.

My film goal this year was to watch 150 films and to prioritize classics, international cinema, and films directed by or centered on women and people of color. #filmsky #letterboxdfriday 🎥 #letterboxd

My Letterboxd 2024 stats. 171 diary entries, 164 reviews. Ranked list of first-time watches including After Life, 35 Shots of Rum, Modern Times, and others.

Movies watched by month - 14.2
Movies watched by week - 3.3
First film of 2024 was Uncut Gems.
50th film of 2024 was Claire's Knee.
100th film of 2024 was symbiopsychotaxiplasm.
150th film of 2024 was Frankenstein (1931).
Last film watched was Love, Actually.

Page provides information about the films I watched in 2024.

The first section displays my films by genre, country, and language. Most of the films were dramas and more than half were from outside the US and not in English.

The second section breaks down my 2024 films by themes and nano-genres. I don't really care about this section.

The third section shows I mostly watched films not released in 2024, that they were usually first-time watches, and that I usually wrote a review. It also shows that I added lots of films to my watchlist and that I watched 141 films from it.

Finally, a breakdown of my 2024 movies by the rating I gave them. Lots of films between 3.5 and 5 stars, primarily because I sought out movies that are well regarded and that were the kinds of films I typically enjoy.

World heat map of my 2024 movies by country of origin. US, France, and Japan are the most prominent. Lots of European films, quite a few African, and a smattering of the rest. Russia is gray (no films) even though I watched several.

Feeling good about my personal 2024 - my amazing gf felt supported enough to quit her awful job, I hit my goal of 150 films, “confirmed” my sexuality (hehe), spent some good quality time with my family, and Sarah and I saw TS in Amsterdam. I guess we’ll see how 2025 goes.

Movie watching has slowed but should improve with all the holiday films to watch. Started the season off with a couple terrible ones. #filmsky #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched 🎥

I'll be Home for Christmas (2 stars), Hot Frosty (1 star), Fantasia (4 stars), Masculin Feminin (3.5 stars)
