@gurglespasm.bsky.social @systemmastery.bsky.social Hello, podcast ghost here. I've been re-listening to all of the Expounded Universe & Expanded Expounded Universe eps since you finished the xfiles book. Sometimes I laugh so hard I can feel it through my chest after. Thank you for what you do.

@systemmastery.bsky.social @gurglespasm.bsky.social saw a mysterious box from a book store on my doorstep. "When did I buy a book?" Hello pre-order! ❤️

Wow! It's s @rifftrax.com's birthday, and *I* get a present? It's like being Rifftrax's horrible younger brother! "I ONLY GOT A 20% DISCOUNT AND ROD GAVE RIFFTRAX A 50% DISCOUNT IT'S NOT FAIR!"

I've been waiting to serve up my "The Mandalorian is just a rip off of Lone Wolf and Cub" hot take, but I haven't gotten around to popping in my Blu-ray collection of Lone Wolf and Cub, yet... I'm just not cut out for the hot take business, I guess 😔

I was in Minneapolis 2 weeks ago. Didn't go to a dive bar, but I saw my favorite band at a nonprofit venue (That Handsome Devil at The Grove), went to Prince's and Mary Jo Pehl's house on the same day, and ate at Glueck's and Murray's downtown... What I'm saying is, you ain't wrong, sir. 🍻

*absent-mindedly taps a pipe wrench against his shoulder while surveying the damage* well, I ain't gonna sugar coat it, but that kinda damage'll cost ya. Yer looking at 4,5 figers at least. And don't get me started on the permit process to pull the old one out.

Its about time we had a dark Boatnik reboot. Really dig into seedy underbelly of the criminal empire Phil Silvers lead, and the tough decisions that have to be made to take him down. Maybe get Mark Ruffalo involved, i dunno.

I was in a Minneapolis airport bathroom Thursday morning and a guy took his shirt off next to me as I was washing my hands - presumably to wash up? I got out of there before shit went down, but you should seek him out to learn from his wisdom.

In Minneapolis this weekend and just listened to this on my Lyft ride out to Paisley Park. Very calming. 😎

Yeah, well that's gonna happen. 🤷

I'm not trying to cast aspersions here, but could some of that be attributed to all the psilocybin mushrooms you fed them? Maybe just a little?

Damn. During college I went to a local Denny's enough that they had my drink ready for me on the table when I arrived, and would ask if I wanted "the usual". They never put up a picture of me, though. 😞

@systemmastery.bsky.social @gurglespasm.bsky.social Just getting to the x-files-pounded universe ep where Jef rants about "correct conspiracy theorists" in media. Have either of you seen Moonfall? It 100% is that & is *rage* inducing. And that isn't even the worst thing about the movie. podcast 👻out

I had a lot of fun with this week’s Serious Trouble, which covers LOTS of defamation cases, the SPLC indictment, and a triumphant inflatable penis. If you enjoy the show, do us a favor and post it someplace. www.serioustrouble.show/p/this-episo...

This Episode Contains No Administrative Procedure Act Coverage

Laura Loomer and Kash Patel lose their defamation suits, but Patel has filed a new one; a former Capitol police officer sues The Blaze for accusing her of being the pipe bomber; SPLC is indicted.

its depressing. At a big meeting at my job last month our new "director of ai" gave a presentation that boiled down to "If you don't use it you're going to be fired." and its not like I can just switch jobs at this point because *everything* in my field is pushing this shit. I'm so exhausted.

When Ned Beatty passed, I genuinely thought "oh, how sad, now only his son is left." And realized that *for years* my brain had thought Ned Beatty's son was Ed Begley Jr...Made worse by the fact the real Begley Sr was a highly regarded actor in his own right. He was in 12 Angry Men for christsake! 🤦

I'd never heard of this company like.. 2-3 weeks ago, and now ads assault my eyeballs wherever they turn. I wonder how long until the first indictment, and subsequent inevitable competing Netflix & Hulu docu-series about those indictments. I wonder if they'd open a betting market on that. 🤔
