The thing that would make the MOST sense to me would be an animated continuance of the series. But that doesn't feel like it 100% fits what I am reading about the promotion for this?

Can they even do it without Whedon? It's been like 20 years since the film, so what is this? Is this the Force Awakens but Firefly? Is it a limited series? What story is even left to tell, these characters are old now. I'm always up for a Space Western, and I like(d) these characters, but...??

My in-laws love Firefly still, and watch it occasionally (not really tough since it's so short). So I've seen the first several episodes somewhat recently, and they're not bad. I also do not want Whedon or Baldwin anywhere near it, but now wondering what this project would even be?

Wow

if the Pitt hurts Dr. Mel King, I will burn this earth to the ground

the entire earth

i'll fuckin' do it

finally, a book about Latverian Strip Clubs

hard to believe you can go through high school AND college and never get fully briefed on the lore of Battletoads

the most damning thing about the McDs CEO video is that apparently there’s nobody in the entire organization that feels safe enough to tell this man the truth

The vast amount of energy and capital used to fund the process of getting computers to churn out fake videos of cats doing weird things would be hilarious if it wasn’t also killing civilization in the process.

I'm from Arkansas, so I feel like I'm in a place where I can say this with some level of understanding.

Kevin McCallister is either a Dexter level serial killer, or he has trust issues that will never heal, or both.

How much would it fuck you up if as a kid your parents left on a fancy holiday vacation with all of your huge family and just left you at home? Then, while you were left at home, some masked thugs tried to assault you in a home invasion attempt? Then, the following year, it happened AGAIN?

when you are a child, you believe that a successful prank requires other people to think it's funny

when you are an adult, you know that a successful prank requires the person being pranked to think it's funny

Okay, you have to click through like five skeets to get back to the Torre podcast but I’m like ten minutes into it and already so mad I didn’t listen to it right away.

is the amount of PTSD-per-capita in your average comic-book superhero city just absolutely off the charts, or has like everyone in big locales just reached zenlike "it could literally happen at any time so fuck worrying about it" levels of indifference

I haven't listened to this episode yet, but seeing this sort of comment means that I need to tag @michaelchu7.bsky.social because it sounds like it would be up his alley. The show is very good in general, so I have no doubt this is excellent as well.

this sounds like a really weird sequel to “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.”

I started the "Dungeon Crawler Carl" audiobook, and it seems like fun, shallow read - but the narrator is voicing the protagonist (CARL) with a very distinct Patrick Warburton affectation and I just don't know if I can do a full book of this.

There is a “Hits of the 90’s” mix that I put on because why not, and there are so many songs that were absolutely, immediately “next song please” skips that I was embarrassed for the decade I was a teenager the most.

That said, somehow, “Flagpolesitta” still slaps?

If someone describes themselves as a “provocateur” what is the first thing you think of and why is it “asshole?”

Centuries from now, it will be astounding to study. A cavalcade of calamity with clear worst-possible-outcomes coming from every decision. Today, it is just absolutely deadening to try and view from afar.

Anyway, this country is currently being governed in a way that's somehow worse than any advice I would have given back when I was attempting to give the worst advice I could think of. Every decision is somehow the worst decision possible for civilization at every step.

Part of the bit was that I wrote it under the humorous pretense that I was genuinely TRYING to help but was just very, very bad at giving advice.

For a short amount of time I did a thing called, "Bob's Very Bad Advice Column" where someone(s) would send in a stereotypical advice column question, and I would endeavor to respond with the worst advice possible for that person, because I thought (and still think) that the idea is funny.

(internally weighing whether or not continuing along this line of inquiry will cause me mental trauma)

wait, are there cute pokemon that don't become furry bait

why doesn't every Olympics start out with some form of performance of "Countries of the World" from the Animaniacs
