I just traded in a 12 year old car for a brand spanking new one, yay, and I'm not joking in the least when I say that chunky climate and volume control knobs vs no knobs was the deciding factor in my choice.

I remember the days when it took like a hundred hours of transparencies/overlays/cursing Photoshop to make characters kiss. Anyway, I just watched what is probably an AI-generated Steve/Tony kiss that dropped my jaw because it is impossible to tell it's not real. We live in a super weird future.

Rod Serling was a king. WWII paratrooper in “The Death Squad,” TV pioneer, LOUD critic of McCarthyism who knew his status as a war hero put him in a privileged position to call shit out. Wrote critiques of racism into his scripts, created The Twilight Zone to escape the censorship that brought on.

Willem Dafoe as one of the lighthouse keepers in the movie, The Lighthouse. He's dressed in a heavy oat with a nautical-type of hat. There's an out of focus lighthouse over his left shoulder. Caption: This month I'm doing a challenge called "October." It's where I try to make it through every day of October.

I watched Withnail and I for the first time tonight. At one point, there's a drug dealer on screen and he sounded exactly like Korg from Thor: Ragnarok. So of course I googled "drug dealer in Withnail is like Korg from Thor." Turns out that I'm completely right, which is really weird and yet cool.

It is genuinely funny, but more, it's just so embarrassing for these "journalists" who agree to "interview" "her." They think they're Edward R. Murrow or some shit, and they're talking to a Magic 8 Ball.

Are you having a difficult time? That's ok. You're in good company. Pull up a chair, have a hot cocoa and a PB&J sandwich. Here are some GIFs that might help. Breathe.GIF starts as a line, which then expands into polygons, each having more sides than the previous, to represent slow breathing.

The drama around one particular getting a haircut in fiction went on for literal years in Sentinel fandom, leading to haircut wank, warnings wank, new lists being created, and endless warnings by list owners to people posting complaints/meta about warnings. Ah, the memories.

I thought of you and several others yesterday when I saw a post complaining that people want haircut warnings in HR fandom. I was like...oh no, I'm having a Sentinel flashback, help. It's both fun and painful being a fandom elder.

For 25 years I have been summarizing/quoting/referencing this part of Heathen's TWoP recap of the final episode of BoB -- when Nix and Winters are talking about post-war plans and their chemistry is akin to a blender in a bathtub in how it crackles and fries them (us all, really) and my friends YES
Winters reveals that Col. Sink has discussed an Army career with him, but no decisions have been made. "I said I'd think about it," Winters clarifies noncommittally. Nixon raises his eyebrows a bit, then turns away and looks at the ground. He wants to grow old with Dick in a country cottage with two dogs, a vegetable garden full of carrots, and a collection of hugely hilarious penis statues painted to look like celebrities -- and nowhere, but nowhere, does the Army fit into the plan.
Tentatively, he asks Winters what he thinks about New Jersey, because there's a job awaiting him at company in Nixon, NJ, called Nixon Nitration Works. "Oddly enough, I know the owners," Nixon snickers. "[They] expect me to make something of myself. Thought I'd drag you with me." The whole time, Nixon barely glances up at his boyfriend, afraid of his burgeoning passion and the warmth spreading in his Army-issue trousers. "Are you offering me a job?" Winters asks, twitching his face into the usual wry, knowing grin, the expression of which he is king. Nixon teases that it hinges on the interview, but based on Winters' résumé, a position with commensurate salary might just open up for him
 Here, Winters and Nixon share a long look. The chemistry between them crackles louder and hotter than a blender in the bathtub, and fries me just as thoroughly. If I were a gay man, this scene might be my money shot. "I'll think about it," Winters says slowly. "I really appreciate it." And he does. Nixon awkwardly repeats that Winters should, indeed, give it some thought. "Yeah," Winters says. It's like they've already woken up in each other's sweaty clutches and aren't sure how to handle the subsequent feelings of neediness
Winters stands up and treats the camera to a close-up of his thigh and crotch, because he's totally toying with me. Strutting down the pier, Winters rips off his shirt and leaps into the water just as music crescendos behind him. Shirt. Off. Wet Winters. I have to stop recapping thi…
