Nothing takes the fun out of eating nuts like paying attention to how many calories worth of nuts you’re eating.

In this iteration, some celestial accident could scatter alien tech with different properties and it all falls into random hands. No one really knows how it works so the hero, with a suit they also don’t understand, has to round it up. Incompetent hero vs. incompetent villains. Hijinks ensue.

Capcom shows why expertise matters, with giant fights that wash out the lousy taste left by Wolverine and Control: Resonant. www.avclub.com/game-theory-...

All it took was ten years to eradicate any sense of shared morality and replace it entirely with subjective, post-modernist fiefdoms of either self-interest or malice.

One of the strangest things about These Times is never in my life has Doing The Right Thing been more out of fashion. Companies, government, news. None of them even give a glancing acknowledgment to performing any action in service of the greater good.

I create an AI agent to read to my child. She has been programmed to love story time. This upsets my wife, so I’m forced to turn her off. It would make me sad, but I died 50 years ago and am just cycling through my uploaded commands. I’m a Ray Bradbury short story you read for 8th grade English.

It’s time to evolve past the belief the Grinch is a holiday-dependent occupation. Approached creatively, there are countless civic avenues through which to pursue Grinching.

We have ceded control of St. Paul to the turkeys. Going forward all civic concerns should be brought to the gaggle milling across from the cathedral on Summit and Selby.

It seems to be lessening as they get older, but after I had kids, I could not watch any horror featuring child endangerment. In general, as I get older and more aware of the fragility and difficulty of life, I feel much more judicious how violence and terror are deployed in art.

I feel like that would have measurable health benefits.

Everyone wants a benevolent dictator until that dictator wakes up from an amphetamine and AI chatbot bender convinced former crypto CEO’s have innocent souls trapped inside them that can only be freed by cutting them open.

You captured the grandiosity of the occasion quite nicely here.

Still chewing over Lanterns and how I feel about the season overall. In ways that were both successful and not, it was pretty interesting to have a superhero show that could have been a play.

Congratulations! What a fantastic achievement. Melo’s illustration is appropriately epic as well.

It even has a child’s conception of proper entryway considerations as a Lincoln Log house.

It’s the first time this election cycle I’ve thought about voting for her with anything other than despondent resignation.

It was rough. I loved my sprites so much. There was a lot about moving in 3D space for the first time that was mind-blowing, but that boxy look ack of detail hurt.

I’m really enjoying Nigella Lawson as the co-host Great British Bake- Off so far. Her dreamy, sensual, aristocracy is a vibe the show has never had.

Is there a way we can expand on this model? I think every car model deserves its own airbrushed character class. Electric -rogue Crossover -barbarian Sedans -ranger Pickup trucks don’t get anything until they lower hood profiles to below 5th grader height. Then they can have fighter.

Given the bafflingly enamored response to that very thing in The Mandalorian, sure seems like it wouldn’t have hurt.

I made a mountain of lemongrass pork and have been working through it with the perseverance of a North Dakotan dirt farmer on account of being the only one in my family to eat it. It’s too heavy on the soy, but otherwise fairly good and you can dress it up so it looks more impressive than it is.

Just watched Arco with my kid. So French! Bittersweet, lonely, contemplative, and beautiful. Some questionable character model decisions aside, the animation is gorgeous. My son liked it, but it’s heavy stuff for a kid’s movie.

I walk into a job interview with an iced coffee. They demand I drink it all right there. Though I gulp and I gulp the cup remains full. It is not an iced coffee but the whole of the world’s oceans. I am victim of a cunning illusion cast by the cruel Jötunn Skrýmir. I do not get the job.

Listening and wanted to utilize the worst medium possible for a sincere sentiment. I don’t listen to reinforce my tastes. I love learning about groups i know a little or nothing of and getting context on their place in pop culture. Especially, as you say, that it’s become so fractured. So thanks!

Nick Wanserski @nickwans.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

This makes sense because everything about it-from the aesthetic, to the sentiment, to the tone, and language is nothing but a Google analytics search. A 2010 Word Cloud updated by a theft machine. We like to defend art by saying anyone can do it, but not this person. AI is her only option

I checked few episodes from the last season or iteration a few years ago and was pretty bummed by the writing. I’d love to hear it’s improved but at this point it feels best put to rest.
