I'm going to be controversial on main for a moment. "Edge of Tomorrow" is by far the best of the suggested titles for that movie.

I don't care how good your YouTube video is, if you segue to talking about the sponsor mid-topic without a notification, I will stop watching.

You know when someone in cinema grins and the light reflects off their tooth with a "ting"? The weird thing *isn't* that reflected light should be completely silent. The weird thing is that we have accepted it so much that if film-makers ever omitted it, it would make the whole scene seem wrong.

Watching Maul:Shadow Lord. For a character with three lines of dialogue in Phantom Menace, this guy sure loves a good monologue.

Asking companies to slow down in their race to invent artificial superintelligence is like asking them to slow down in their race to invent time machines. Predicting the most likely next word in a sentence is a longass way away from birthing Brainiac.

For fun, we put the classic story "Don't invent the Torment Nexus" into a Torment Nexus. The results are fascinating.

If Doctor Strange practiced medicine the same way he practiced magic in No Way Home: Peter: I have a stomach ache. Strange: Lie on the table. Strange (as he's cutting): I'm going to remove your liver.

24 hours later and I'm still annoyed. *We can't just call him 'Ram Man' with no explanation. That would sound silly." "Dude, do you expect people tuning into a He-Man movie in the year 2026 to be offended by sillyness?" And where the hell was Orko?!

Just watched the new he-man movie. What the actual fuck. I've never seen an adaptation so embarrassed by its own source material before. They couldn't introduce a single character or element of the story without couching it with a bad joke or a stage wink.

I just spent 20 minutes talking to Mitch McConnell and he says he's fine and is watching the news and keeping up with events. I'd have asked more questions but the spooky lady in the tent wanted three more pieces of silver.

Spoke to Mitch McConnell for twenty minutes today. He bobbed up and down and said "gottle of geer, gottle of geer", in a voice strangely similar to Stephen Miller, who was sitting beside him.

Do you celebrate your anniversary on the date you proposed, or the day you got married? Do you celebrate your divorce on the date you filed the papers, or the date it became final? Is your birthday the day you were born or the day your parents started trying to conceive?

It's a bit of a relief that the He-Man movie is failing. If it became a franchise, we'd have to have about the Masters of the Universe Cinematic Universe.

The 1926 Irish census results were out today. The people living in my house back then are the same ones who were living there in 1911. I got to thinking about all the stuff they saw when they lived here.

This idiot jigsaw is called "Inside Out".
A line in the pavement that should run down the middle of a temporary section, but instead goes along either edge, because the pieces have been out back entirely wrong.

This Idiot Jigsaw is simply titled "Stripe". Artist unknown.
A section of Cork pavement, removed and then put back in at a 180 degree angle. A dark black tile intersecting the removed square has been sliced and the strip is now on the wrong side.
