missed opportunity not including the creature from the black lagoon. i guess maybe there may have been a dispute over, between frankenstein's monster and the gill man, who'd get to be the green one? like the gill man can be blue, we all know frank's got a chokehold on the color green

so defunctland put out, on the patreon feed, a new 3 and a half hour video essay on Billy Mays's short-lived discovery channel show, and might i just say that whoever edited this thing deserves to be put in a loony bin

probably 'get on your boots' by U2. idk if 'no line' is a trainwreckord [the next one probably is], but it crushed the momentum after a good 7 years of goodwill. u2's new single reminded me too much of that one.

i am puzzled by many aspects of this:

Album cover for Badfinger's 1975 album, entitled ass. Depicts, in a blue/yellow border, a giant hand emerging from the heavens holding a massive carrot, and below the horizon a donkey facing away from us listening to music using headphones. Typing that pitch out loud makes me realize why Storm Thorgerson probably turned this cover down.

brief infodumping: to baseball card collectors of a certain age, a 'bipping' is an ironic or intentional punishment consisting of receiving a package full of duplicates of Bip Roberts cards. usually his 1987 rookie. there was a year where bippings were CONSTANT. ya had to be there i guess..

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

every time i have to do something a.) new where i don't fully know how to correspond to the expectation and b.) where i worry about other people's perception of me as i am doing this thing, i sort of tense up, hem and haw, and make things more difficult for myself. today had two of those. very fun.
