This show was low key traumatising for me as a kid. I just wanted him to find a home.

Walking out of the bar with a friend last night. Them: I finally saw Seven Samurai. Me, automatically: Best movie ever made. Them: ...yeah, I think you're right.

It's hard to gauge the expectations around Doomsday. Because sure, to me, a 50 year old man, it looks utterly juiceless, but plenty of parents I know are getting dragged to the Avengers Endgame rerelease, so maybe my opinion doesn't count for much.

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

DVDs aren't low-tech. They're just things you can actually own, that won't disappear overnight, that don't require a monthly subscription, that won't suddenly get reedited, that won't start putting adverts in the middle and that won't sell your data to the worst people in the world.

The weirdest ad on my podcast rotation at the moment is a paid resource industry promo that tells gamers natural gas is essential to avoiding PVP lag. Incredibly specific target audience there.

Do you like Mass Effect? Once More into the Void is basically the rules light, Mass Effect style RPG that plays in 1-3 sessions. The physical copies are $20 and whatever doesn't sell is going to be pulped bc it's too expensive to send them back up into Canada for storage.

Watching Big Trouble in Little China, as is my custom, and it's amazing how I remember where the ad breaks were on the VHS copy I taped off GWN around 1988.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

It's simply a function of branding, but the inescapable truth of the Star Wars franchise is that war is not only inevitable, it's the natural state of sentient beings. No war, no Star Wars.

what happened to 90s video game star COOL SPOT?? This four part comic has the answer 1/4 🧵
This is a comic about what Cool Spot is doing in 2024. Told in four parts.

Panel one: An aged Cool Spot is woken by his alarm. He looks like absolute shit.

Panel two: He puts on his comedically giant sunglasses but they bring him no joy. There is nothing funny about his life in 2024.

Panel three: The once moderately popular 7UP mascot makes himself coffee and lights a cigarette. The threat of smoking related illnesses means nothing to him. Does he even have lungs?

Panel four: Looking forlornly out of the window of his trailer park home, Cool Spot fantasises about killing Sonic the Hedgehog with a shovel

One of the worst reviews I've ever read. At one point the author seems to have just ctrl+ved their notes. More words spent on the audience than the actual work. Doesn't bother to mention director or cast. For real: the editor should have sent it back.
