A meme with a character from Watchmen whose name I can’t remember, saying: It is 1982. I am one year old. Tron bombs at the box office It is 2010. I am twenty-nine years old. Tron bombs at the box office It is 2025. I am fourty-four years old. Tron bombs at the box office

This meme made me laugh.

I still get the feeling I’ll check my podcast feed Thursday morning and find a fresh WTF with Marc Maron walking back on the whole retirement thing.

Canada’s boycott America movement is hurting innocent bystanders | CNN Business Virginia Distillery CEO Gareth Moore was bullish on his company’s American single malt whisky sales north of the border when 2025 kicked off.

The US trade war & annexationist push against Canada. H/t @sueinnovates.bsky.social. Apparently, Americans are the victims. Missing, except for a vague comment: 10 months in, there is zero acknowledgement of political agency or the possibility of change on the US side.

Thanks for the reminder. I just drove over, walked in, and got both shots with hardly any waiting.

I’ve only ever seen that image through a heavily scratched cassette case.

My grand theory is that 6.5 is the ideal rating on IMDb for an interesting movie because it means it alienated idiots. If you’d like proof: Almost every Kiyoshi Kurosawa movie is rated between 6.3-6.9.

Tonight I watched a Diane Keaton movie I hadn't seen in decades, Shoot the Moon (easily rentable on various services). She's so remarkable as a mother of four watching her marriage break up--she goes from crushed to liberated to uncertain to furious to resolute in a completely idiosyncratic way.

NYT push alert reading: Harvard's Campus Culture Students who skip class and fail to do the reading still get high grades, a group of professors say. Now, they are trying to change the culture.

Nothing more Harvard than for these professors to think the solution is “inform the New York Times” rather than “give the students lower grades.”

I’ve been saying this for months, but I’d assumed that was just because I’m a well-intentioned idiot who don’t know no better.

Is there anything more satisfying than unplugging a storm drain that’s making a lake on the street?

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

A resolution where the Architect explains to Neo that the whole point of enslaving humanity is to mine crypto would be even more baffling.

i wonder what it’s like to look around every day and see the country being run into the ground by pill-poppers and secret police and anti-vaxxers and book burners and you go into work and sit down at your computer and you’re the guy whose job it is to come up with new oreos flavors

Farscape is very popular in US prisons It is one of the few shows that are on the free movie apps we would have on our tablets that had any decent story and production. It was very popular in the prison I was in because of that. Several times I was surprised by people who were big, gang affiliated, with a violent history and covered in tattoos and they were the biggest fans, on their 8th or 12th run of the show. Edit: Surprised by the reaction! So here's some more info: When I entered prison in early 2024, every single inmate was issued their own tablet. The tablet can make calls, texts to friends and family outside, play games and movies, etc. Everything on it you pay for monthly, except the games pass which lasts for a year. The tablets can differ though, in our city jail we had better tablets, those had better movies and you could buy real games like Pokémon and Final Fantasy Tactics. The tablets you get in prison have games more akin to standard mobile games. Candy Crush was one of the free games every tablet had so that was a big topic of discussion as well. For 7.99 a month you get access to Crackle and all the stuff that comes with it, one of the things bring Farscape. Options being what they are on Crackle, Farscape definitely stands out if youre planning on spending a lot of your time on your tablet. There are little groups that discuss it in the library and around Halloween there were some goofy fucks making costumes from the show for a laugh.

Wanted to help this escape Reddit containment: Farscape is popular in prisons (and in my house.)

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort
