I just accidentally said “Silent Jay” when I clearly meant “Silent Bob”, which means I have been excommunicated from the Millennial generation, and will certainly not be invited into Gen X after such a blunder. Going to have to start applying to become a Zoomer.

I actually get my information from people who understand exactly what it is and why it’s a fucking autocorrect slot machine that does nothing but extract. This is hot garbage. Just because I have ethics and a spine doesn’t mean I don’t also engage critical thinking. Slop boosters don’t.

This is not hard for me because most things I truly love are somewhere on the trash spectrum.

Paramount and Warner Bros. shaped over a century of culture. By combining them, we aren't rewriting history — we're equipping these iconic studios with a more powerful engine. Together, we are Skydance: a creative-first ho Show

There was a thing going around like “prove you’re not a terrible man by posting your group chats” but I’m basically the token dude in my group chats. I assure you if I were being shitty I would have already been fed to the wood chipper.

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.

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.

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.

My wife, explaining Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, a movie I have not seen: …and he falls in love with a woman named Truly Scrumptious. Me: That’s a Bond-girl-ass name right up there with Pussy Galore. A day later she shows me the trailer for it and I see Ian Fleming‘s name on it. Oh. That explains it.
