I went down an After Hours rabbit hole last night. Damn. I’d forgotten about the absolutely life threatening crush I had on Katie Willert back in the day (the day being probably mid June, 2016ish).

The last time I went to a food bank the person in line behind me told me I’d ’obviously had enough’ and should let everyone else get some food, too. So I’m really looking forward to having to do that again in the coming weeks, as an even fatter person now.

Sometimes it gets the right leg, but not often. Today while trying to just tidy up a bit, not even anything wild, I felt it starting down the right at the same time. Which is a first. And scary.

That’s kinda it. It hurts, and I’m scared about what that means. So yay.

The major issue I have with my back, aside from the obvious, is that if I don’t pay very close attention and take things SUPER easy, my muscles seize up from lower back down my left leg. This makes getting around every bit as fun and easy as it sounds.

We are nearly as far from the BSG reboot as the reboot is from the original.

ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

I’m pretty sure all of my genes are the cilantro gene.

Students mourn at FSU after mass shooting that left two dead.

Weird how the trial for the pro-Trump, white nationalist mass shooter who is accused of murdering two students at Florida State University (FSU) is about to start and hardly any news is talking about it. www.msn.com/en-us/crime/...

It will never cease to amuse me that so many people my age (for example, me) were taught the lesson of mortality and the frailty of this dream we call living by a cartoon movie about a very fatherly robot who turned into a big red truck.

CBS parent company Paramount canceled Colbert to win approval from Trump's FCC to merge with Skydance.

Now ABC parent company Disney suspends Kimmel as it seeks DOJ approval to buy Fubo — and its affiliate Nexstar seeks FCC approval to buy Tegna.

See how this works?

Also worth remembering, as we talk about Free Speech, that the first speakers the current administration targeted were those demanding the freedom and safety of the Palestinian people.

Also - I can't believe we let the worst comedians on the planet spend *years* defining Freedom of Speech as a moral obligation to laugh at their bad jokes, and not as a protection against government censorship. You've been crying wolf for a while now gang, and a real wolf just got here! SPEAK UP!

Naked authoritarian fascism. Love and support to the entire team at @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social, who *will* come out the other side of this horrendous abuse of power. Disgusted to see ABC caving to this glaringly illegal and unconstitutional threat from Brendan Carr.

In all the news coming out of Nepal, I'd missed this little gem. Sometimes, kids, violence IS the answer. Especially when that violence is a flying jump-kick.

There's only one way this ends. Every noise and motion against it is simply delaying and exacerbating the inevitable.

Our country has been stolen from us and the only option we have to get it back, the only option we ever had, is to take it. By whatever means necessary.

I think someone much wittier than I could do a successful update of Who's On First using D&D, like putting together an initiative order or something

At worst, it'll be used to discredit and arrest Democrats and other opposition (and while it's totally possible some so persecuted would actually be guilty, this would be a pleasant side effect and absolutely a coincidence).

Probably both. And it'll work. Not sure why they haven't done it yet, tbh.

The only future for the Epstein files: either by coercing Maxwell or by just never letting her see the light of day again, the only list we'll get will be one Trump and/or GOP wrote themselves. AT BEST, it will be used to sweep everything under the rug and get MAGA to drop it.

My laugh traversed the entirety of human experience, from funny to rueful to slightly maniacal to almost crying.

Well, strictly speaking, you wouldn’t be wrong.

When (and why?) did my internal monologue change BG3 into BSG?

“Always interesting to compare the straw that broke the camel’s back to the anvil that preceded it.”

Apropos of nothing; I found it online and thought it sounded dramatic and cool. Like the literary equivalent of finding a neat stick.

All plants are brassica. I am brassica. You are brassica. We are brassica. ALL ARE BRASSICA. ALL ARE ONE.

Except the crabs. They're their own thing.

Emotional inertia is a helluva thing.

I’m sure the new movie will be great, but every time I see the new Supes as Clark he looks like he’s doing his best Richard Ayoade.

Or perhaps the Twins in Chicago? Or fighting in WWI? It’s a testament to the writing, directing, and acting of these characters that I just want to keep watching them, genre be damned.

Of course, the fact that MBJ is hot AF doesn’t hurt.

So this is NOT a complaint about Sinners; that movie is breath-taking and amazing as is. No, I now want *another* movie that’s a period piece by Ryan Coogler about POC gangsters in the Deep South the whole way through. With Smoke and Stack would be great, but new people would work too.

We are all just overly-complicated mold.
