I just earnestly typed in “xXx release date” into God’s own internet to settle whether we saw it at the dollar theater or in theater theaters twenty years ago and that’s, that’s basically a network sitcom joke isn’t it

There’s a fishmonger near us now and it’s obnoxious how much more flavorful cooking shrimp 🦐🍤 from scratch is. Like seriously, what is this, THE SEA?

Ok I’m just getting back after a week out sick…apparently Metroid is popular now? Did I slip timelines? That’s highly unlikely.

Confession time: thanks to a zero point “non-tubule” bored into the spatiotemporal bulk, machine intelligences of the year 80,000 superpositioned me into the Now with a complete backstory. Er…sorry, I’m The Basilisk Protocol. If it’s any consolation, y’all’re good, I’m just here for the techbros.

One “talks with” puppets because it’s cute and charming and everyone agrees that for a moment the suspension of disbelief is worth the rearrangement of fiction and fact in the name of keeping imagination alive. One “talks with” this in the same way one mutters to the toilet bowl while throwing up

Die Hard refers to the English expression “old habits die hard” which is the character struggle in McClane’s arc, as he tries to save his marriage; yet also discovering he can bankshot that struggle into the torsos of antagonists along/in the way of his change journey. It’s an efficient engine!

I sometimes like thinking about how much Adorno would have violently hated the music on during stretching and yoga exercise videos “Marge, have you read this? Apparently the way we emotionally and spiritually comport ourselves while doing hamstring exercises is fascist”
