I have so many impossibly talented, successful friends and what I find so interesting is that the one trait they all share is pity for an occasionally charming loser.

Your email does not find me. I am dodging your email. My hope is it will never find me because if it does it will learn the obvious truth: I am not well.

Every commercial for The Voice is designed to make me walk into the ocean with a sack of bowling balls tied around my waist.

The dark fantasy short film that I wrote, directed, and edited is available to watch now! It’s got big puppets, jokes, slime, animation, practical FX, and ZERO ai slop, if that’s your thing.

I recently was one of the first media members to see a model Little Mermaid room currently being beta tested at @disneyparks.bsky.social Art of Animation at Walt Disney World. It was so much more interesting than I expected for reasons I didn't expect. At @nerdist.bsky.social I wrote about why.

Once at Six Flags New England I rode the Superman roller coaster 12 times in a single day and got a mild concussion.

The "deal" is truly horrible. It's absolutely nothing. A total capitulation. And even the absolute nothing the AGs got only covers five years.

There is no one with actual power willing to do anything to protect us. The rich do what they want, when they want, with total impunity and acquiescence from our representatives.

At @nerdist.bsky.social I wrote about why I think "just do The Muppet Show" is only partially correct. A full season is not the best idea, and the variety show format is not the only way they should return to TV. They should return in a whole lot of ways constantly.

I did a reverse Spider-Man and bit a radioactive spider. The spider is dead and doctors say I'll soon pass from radiation poisoning. So it doesn't really work.

How does it make sense that a player can intentionally deliver a violent cheap shot to a quarterback, knock him out of the game, and the only penalty is 15 yards? How is that not an instant ejection?

Proud denizen of the great Commonwealth here, reporting in to say Seth Moulton is among the most detestable Mass pols ever. Would be happy to never hear his name or see his face ever again. But he'll be cashing Fox News checks by February.

This is much fairer and even-keeled than you'd expect, but it does layout why House of the Dragon feels so antagonistic to people who love the story but not the show.

At @nerdist.bsky.social I reviewed Ted Lasso season four. Critics got the first five episodes. After a brutal premiere things get better. Not great, sometimes not even good, but better.

Ted Lasso's third season wasn't the ending many hoped for, but whether the show was always good, it always succeeded in making us feel good.

I had an idea so dumb I couldn't do anything until I made it real. This isn't even remotely funny, let alone "good" in any possible way. It's just really, really stupid. I'm sort of sorry.

Last second prediction for Marvel's Hall H panel: They bring out the "Latverian witches" who unmask same as RDJ did a couple years ago. Most logical guesses for who they are include Berry, Janssen, and Olsen. Then Cumberbatch, Theron, and Di Martino.
