I know things about things. I love movies, video games and soup. Harlan Ellison was pretty sure I stole his wallet.

Thinking about movie scenes that are better than the rest of the movies they’re in, like the Trek 2009 where young Kirk has stolen his stepdad’s car and the scene in the bar in Argentina from X-Men First Class. It goes so hard for a movie that also has a guy who can fly by yelling real loud.

I have to take a quick break between dog walks today because my exercise and insulin dosage so far today have exceeded my carb intake, and while diabetes in general sucks complete ass, unexpected forced breaks like this are a thing that’s made vacations with @bganderson.bsky.social really magical.

After a few blissful days of Idiot’s Autumn with its jeans and hoodies, we’re back to Asshole’s Summer where it’s 85 and humid in October. The pups are not loving it.

Remember that lethal injections fail constantly. And the reason for this is, the company who made the drug that worked real good stopped making it because it was being used for lethal injections. And miraculously no doctors seem to be unethical enough monsters to develop a new system that works.

I watched The King on Netflix this morning, and it came out a while back. It presents us a Henry V that was tricked into war with France by one of his scheming viziers, and a weird idea that mud and not simply a shit ton of longbows is what won at Agincourt, but hey, it’s still a pretty good movie.

It’s Saturday night and I’m staying at a client’s house in a small beach town that has three roads in and out of it, that regularly flood during normal rain, and this weekend it’s a noreaster on a full moon, so the only time I can get in or out of town is at low tide. But the dogs are p good.
Its me laying on a couch wearing my Riverdale runs through it Fancy School Horsies hoodie with my legs draped over a giant snoozing golden retriever with the world’s largest French bulldog further down snuggled up against my foot.The world’s largest French bulldog. He’s got a brown and white face, floppy brown ears and a mostly white body. My dude weighs like 50 pounds, he’s absolutely huge.A fairly gigantic all white golden retriever, snoozing on her dog bed, she’s up in the 150 pound range, nearly the size of me.

I can’t believe DraftKings and Fan Duel haven’t bought every 1-800-Gambler type hotline and added their name to it, and started operating them all yet.

I don’t know if Arrowhead did this on purpose, or if it’s just an artifact of them making a really good game, but a thing I notice is when you understand concepts like enfilade/defilade and tactical retrograde, you perform much better at Helldivers 2, even if you don’t know what those are called.

This is amazingly appropriate because for all their “the party of Lincoln” crap, literally the entire republican project since Reagan has been to undo every civil rights gain that’s happened since 1863, so why not put his name on the place where Lincoln was assassinated

Friends, my car looks so fucking futuristic, I can’t stand it. And it has like sensors and shit, it warns me if some dickhole is about to ram me when I’m backing out of a parking space. And it gets like 40 miles per energon cube. What is this thing even?

Everyone in this world is either a Strummer/Jones or a Lennon/McCartney. I will not explain or elaborate but I am the top expert on the subject. Obama is a Lennon/McCartney. Biden is a Strummer/Jones. Strummer is a Strummer/Jones. Jones is a Lennon/McCartney.

I have a car, and my 80s mix was playing when I hooked up the Bluetooth, and it was Alive and Kicking from Simple Minds, which feels pretty okay.

It’s the racism. In the 80s, conservatives recognized selling drugs was a way out of poverty for minorities so Reagan launched the entire war on drugs about it. Name another crime where consequences also fall upstream of the end user.

JUST ONE SMALL PROBLEM. SELL THE HOUSES TO WHO, BEN? FUCKING AQUAMAN?

People's houses are collapsing into the ocean. FEMA gives them no other option
Waterfront homes are collapsing along the coast. Homeowners generally have plenty of warning before their house buckles. So why aren't most houses removed, or at least emptied, before they fall?

So a little over a year ago, I went on an actual vacation for the first time in years. In the months leading up to it, my brain was working as okay as I can think of. I was making doctors appointments, brushing my teeth, exercising, it was going pretty good.

Sometimes in between being depressed I think about how I was born a weird 28-toothed mutant, and then I spend like 15-20 minutes counting my teeth a bunch of times just to make sure there’s not four extras hiding in there somewhere.

Well, insurance has, as expected, decided that the wreck of my car is worth around 70% of the cost of the cheapest same model/year I could find online, so they’re going to write me a check for $4500 and maybe send me the $500 for my deductible if they ever get it back from Uber’s insurance.

This weekend I didn’t feel like driving 15 minutes to wegmans, so I just went to the proud to be an American ShopRite and what it is, the little entry way to keep winter out has its own playlist where they blast maybe a dozen different versions of it on a loop, inside the store is classic rock.

Just over a week in the rental car, no word back yet on what progressive will pay. Not sure yet whether the amount will be not enough for me to live or just not enough for me to eat. So that’s pretty difficult to handle every morning.

I saw that there will be no second season of Spider-Noir at Amazon, and I think the first season was very well crafted to be a complete television show that didn’t need a second season. I am sad there won’t be more, but what we got is better than we deserve.

It’s incredible how WRONG every other human alive is capable of lining up to a cash register. Like the guy in front of me at playa bowls just now stepped in the door, and instead of walking straight to the menu and register, he took a HARD right and stood between tables where people were eating.
