This isn’t a professional comedian. This your drunk cousin at the family cookout you’re desperately trying to leave early.

The reason the (false) Talarico story is resonating with certain people is because they can’t imagine a world where they’d seek (much needed) mental health care.

Sir, why is seeing your name enough to make me think I should really go finish the Vanguard series?

The fact that David Ellison is another story of a privileged guy who failed to get into art / entertainment because money can't buy talent explains SO MUCH about who he is today.

One I almost fell asleep watching in a theater. The other almost made me jump out of my skin (mind you, my husky helped with that part).

Would you recommend Theros for someone who wanted to run Olympian flavored D&D? #dnd #dnd5e #5e #Theros

Of course, the best way to make a Darkwing Duck legacy sequel series would have been to take the Batman Beyond cyberpunk premise, file off the serial numbers, and set it in Neo-St. Canard.

My daughter gave me their old 3D printer, so I guess I have a new obsession now. Yay?

Seriously, don’t watch the fucking show. Don’t review it or recap it. Don’t give it the fucking time of day. This isn’t like “Aw, okay, well, don’t do it next time!” This is like, “We are no longer friends.”

Anyone think that the reason that something like “The Dog Stars” barely manages to move the needle is because we’re all “apocalyped out”? What with *waves hands around* all this?

Ever piss you off when old movies aren’t available anywhere? Decided I wanted to watch the 1941 Red Skelton comedy “Whistling in the Dark” because I remembered liking it as a kid at it isn’t streaming anywhere (except a very dodgy .ru site). You can’t even buy the DVD anymore!

Very tempted by the Emily Watson version of “The Odyssey”, but there’s also a Stephen Fry version with the audiobook narrated by Fry.
