I can't explain why or how, but the fact that I'm suddenly seeing this Kyle Gordon doofus everywhere has to be some kind of government psyop

New Resident Evil is great cuz it does the one thing so much IP cinema is terrified of doing: It completely jettisons the decades of built-in lore and just operate purely on vibes. Star Wars Episode 10 should try being more like Resident Evil.

The new scenes they added to Avengers Endgame sound like if you took Dogs Playing Poker and drew a little Owen Wilson sitting in the background going “Wow, it’s dogs and they’re playing poker!”

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Basic? Maybe. Honest? Yes. This is essentially a list of my ten comfort TV shows. Can watch any of these on repeat anytime, and they make up a disgusting percentage of the references I make in casual conversation

The problem with a lot of the prestige TV shows on that NY Times list is that I have never felt compelled to rewatch any of them. Many I’ve started and never even finished. Meanwhile, I’ll rewatch my favorite comedies front to back ad infinitum

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

The weird thing about 9/11 being a quarter century ago is that the first decade after 9/11 felt like an entire lifetime, while the 15 years that followed have felt like a shitty long weekend.

Part of the reason I’ve been slacking off on podcasting this year is because life has been just plain busy lately. The other part is just the crippling anxiety of asking your own friends to hang out with you.

I've been told that it seems like a "bit" when I say things like this, and while I do think that po-faced sincerity is funny in a Dudley Do-Right kind of way, I also just believe this is true. I think people should say this more. Trans people are wonderful children of God who deserve our love.
