Hays Code film noir: We gotta show that “crime doesn’t pay,” so what we’re gonna do is have 95 minutes of crime being exciting and fun to do and then they’ll die in the last 5 minutes in a cool dramatic way. That’ll keep those audiences straight

As professional writers we’ve all been in that “Sunset Boulevard” scenario where we’re faced with the stark choice between participating in and becoming complicit with someone’s mental break or escaping the situation via stealing your best friend’s finance

A24 announces Big Walk: Origins, based on the hit co-op puzzle adventure game from House House. The film promises a “deep dive” into the world’s extensive lore, answering questions such as who built the island, why everything looks the way it does, and - finally! - official names for in-game objects

Bringing this one over in case I’m right

A tweet I made in 2021 claiming, “This is what Elder Scrolls 6 will look like.” In 2021, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art held a Ray Harryhausen exhibit and shared this lovely hand-photoshopped image of a Harryhausen skeleton with a sword and shield standing in the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

Underworld figures are always sitting in the back of their nightclubs so you have to walk by all the hot people dancing and having a great time first before talking business with them, this is deliberate to remind you that life is full of fun, lift your mood and bolster your spirits

Being the most famous person from your school is statistically unlikely, however you can increase your chances by going to as many schools as possible; eventually you may be the most famous from at least one of them, likely as the person going to many schools in order to be the most famous from one

You should be friends with a podcaster, so that when they telephone to say “I’ve just won the World Podcasting Award!” you can be purely happy for them without so much as a pang of jealousy (advice only applies if you are not also a podcaster)

Most people don’t know this, but when a timer is counting down like ten, nine, eight, seven and so on all of the intervals between the numbers have slightly different durations. In particular the moment between five and four takes the longest. Pay attention next time and you will notice.

I was filling out a Sound Transit survey and at the end they asked “Is there anything other transit agencies are doing that we should look at?” so I wrote “I like BART’s anime mascots.” Later, after I submitted it, I realized I had also indicated my age earlier in the survey. Well, that’s fine

They make the last little bit of Kewpie mayonnaise impossible to get out of the bottle on purpose, to mildly annoy you. It may sound paradoxical, but ultimately, it increases your feelings for Kewpie mayonnaise.
