This would get me back in the theater.

A fake movie synopsis from the tent pole game:
Strings: A Rain City Noir
In a rain-drowned city where every citizen is a marionette, a battered private eye with a cracked wooden jaw (voiced by Heath Ledger) is hired by a singer strung entirely in gold thread (voiced by Catherine Zeta-Jones) to find who is cutting the city's strings. His leads come from a cheerful pawnbroker in stolen thread (voiced by Andy Richter); his suspect is the city's granite-puppet founder (voiced by Ed Harris), whose hands are the Hands above. The detective climbs into the rain to face the puppeteer.

Heath Ledger · Ed Harris · Catherine Zeta-Jones · Andy Richter
a Peter Jackson film

Honestly, the most embarrassing thing that happened last night is Michigan fans storming the field after beating Western by 2 points.

I remember watching this great Japanese documentary about exactly this 30 years ago.

The DVD box art for the 1991 anime Roujin Z showing an elderly man with the cyborg hospital bed he runs amok in.

This picture kills me every time it comes up in my photo memories.

A photo, circa 1990, of the five members of the Traveling Wilburys with their ages at the time the photo was taken superimposed over each person. From left to right: Bob Dylan age 47, Jeff Lynn age 41, Tom Petty age 38, Roy Orbison age 52, and George Harrison age 45. They all look substantially older than their listed ages. From the perspective of a 40+ year-old millennial the very existence of this image is an act of violence.

U2 at Ford Field in like... 2017ish? Speaker positioning and mix resulted in a muddy wall of noise. Might have been the right set up for an open air arena, but in a building with a roof it was trash.

mfw I keep missing quiz questions on Japanese vocabulary that's built with kanji that I know because I spell them wrong.

The William Shatner Khaaaan meme but instead he's screaming rendaku, which is the Japanese linguistic phenomenon that changes some unvoiced consonants to voiced consonants when they appear in compound words.

JFC, silly tech-addled AI myopia aside, schools aren't worker factories! The goal of schools is not to prepare students to be employees! This is insane and irresponsible in two separate directions AT THE SAME TIME.

Learning Japanese be like "draw the rest of the fucking owl."

The kanji character for "hito" which means "person" in English. It has two easy to follow strokes.

The kanji characters for "gakkou" which means "school' in English. It consists of eighteen tiny and complicated strokes. It's like the entire language is saying to me, "fuck you, that's why."

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Cool. Mail order pharmacy shipped my ADHD meds on 1/5 and I just received the package today only to find that it had been tampered with and my meds were gone. On the plus side, I did get to file a complaint with the most feared law enforcement agency in the country: the US Postal Inspection Service

Please don't ask me why my brain works like this, because I don't have an answer

MOBY GOT DICK
By Josephine Riesman

I hate white whales and I cannot lie
You other seamen can't deny
When the beast swims by as a pale and eerie sight
Spermacetti is your right
You get sprung
Wanna throw spears well
Til you know that the whale's in Hell

Oh, Moby
I wanna stop goonin'
And get harpoonin'
My boatswain tried to stop this
But that eye you got makes
(Me so vicious!)

Ooh, Devil’s own whale
You say you wanna end my tale?
Well, try me, try me
Cuz I ain’t no average briney 
I’ve seen him blowin’
To hell with all knowin’
He swim, fin
Got it goin’ like a turbo Schwinn

I’m tired of novelists
Sayin’ orcas are the best
Take the average Ahab and ask him why
I’ll tell ya I’m not shy

So sailors (YEAH!)
Sailors (YEAH!)
Has your whale-foe got the white? (HELL YEAH!)
Tell him to fluke it (FLUKE IT!)
Fluke it (FLUKE IT!)

Now throw that sharpened stick
Moby got Dick
