Few things reinforce the way language reinforces memory quite like my inabilty to remember what the names are for instrumental or foreign-language songs I have stuck in my head. It is interesting that I don't think everyone has this problem though

I like to write everyone's lines so I can mouth them to the other actors unconsciously as they deliver them. It adds a certain spice since they need to cut around me doing this

Still from LIQUID SKY

Still from LIQUID SKY

RIP Slava Tsukerman. LIQUID SKY is such a landmark movie. Nothing else like it.

Hobtown Mystery Stories 3: The Secret Of The Saucer - The Comics Journal A mea culpa is in order.

"What if Memento was an episode of Twin Peaks?" What if I wrote about the new @hobtown.bsky.social for @comicsjournal.bsky.social? What might that be like?

I was like "but surely that comparison is nonsensical, fantagraphics isn't putting this out" then did a google and found it was the book with the bad/boring cover (i'll have to be more specific)

The ad-writer was trying to be passive-aggressive towards Alexa but forgot it did not possess interiority and could not get feelings hurt and change behavior accordingly

A good dating app bio, if you wanted to get political, would be:

I eat ass, and I eat hot dogs, but I will never lick a pig's ass!

My life is like a movie directed by Dusan Makavejev, NOT Pasolini!

Thinking about how me, Kevin Smith, Noah and Ethan Van Sciver are all from the same part of New Jersey. Who will be the brave comics convention organizer who will have me moderate that panel discussion? We will talk about Grendel and Joe Matt's contribution to it

Loose Jacks, by Flaccid Mojo 8 track album

Enjoying this record by 2/3s of Black Dice, listening on headphones but wanting to crank it loud on a stereo. I wish it was on CD as that is the format I think serves their music best and how I own most of it

At Noma, where they famously serve ants, our server told us they have to keep the ants all separated from each other in the prep area bc if they get into clan wars they’ll use up all their formic acid fighting, and taste like nothing

Something that would actually demonstrate AI's theoretical abilities to synthesize knowledge and science in a harmless way would be trying to get it to innovate fusion cuisine. So far it is known to tell people to put glue on pizza and eat rocks. Not as good as Chili's southwestern eggrolls IMO

the other day i was thinking about how owning a boat has to be one of the strongest predictors of republican party membership bc either it's a horrible financial decision made in the pursuit of projecting an image of wealth, or you're obscenely wealthy. those are their two demos

There was a story like two days ago about an attempted Bay Of Pigs 2 invasion, ten armed US citizens in a boat rolled up and were caught immediately

As the US goes to war in the middle east to do "regime change," a fun thought I had the other night is that Trump might also play the greatest hits by going to war with Britain to do regime change if they elect the Green Party
