seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.

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.

This is partially a joke but also most of the time if people ask me for recommendations I have to add a big list of caveats as to why somebody may not like what I’m recommending.

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.

What once was the peak, is now just the beginning.
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.

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.
