I have been violently killed by a demon in a published novel.

I'm fortunate enough that this Verizon outage doesn't affect much more than text/calls, but dismayed that if there were something serious behind it ... we really couldn't trust official explanations. Of which there have been few!

Hard agree. What do people even use for this, if not text, gchat and the like? The universality of AIM was unparalleled.

My 14-yo-son has recreated the climax of Back to the Future in gingerbread and I thought you should know.

Having a favorite late-night host can seem antiquated, but one reason I love Seth Meyers is the willingness to dissect graphics, timing, the nuts and bolts of it all. To see that same institution (and its performers) cutting jobs for AI slop ... well, I hope there are ongoing arguments there.

I only noticed this one example, but yeah. They should come out against this. Bad Look for an institution that has multiple Bad Looks in recent years.

Support libraries and all that jazz, but it's difficult when the biggest local one gets *rid* of its CD section for a coffee bar!

And not even a good one! It's a fancy machine and some tables!

Relating to Spider-Man at 19: I too am underemployed, unsure how to pursue girls, and trying to find my place in the adult world.

Relating to Galactus at 42: I am from an unrecognizable previous millennium, hungry all the time, everything hurts and I live with a tiny person who won’t do what I ask.

Realllly had to read that headline twice.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Sigh. Right to jail. Right to Season 2 jail. Mr. Robot, Westworld, Dexter ... even though that was Season 6. Season 2 can come too.

Okay, so ... *that* show made the most boring, Twilight Zone-ass twist possible. People guessed it, I really hoped better from the first few screeners and ... yikes.

That might work a little better, as the former might be interpreted as "Don't fight, jeez!"

enjoy it while you can you sun-loving summer freaks because every second of this cursed season brings us closer to the CRISPNESS OF FALL where i will COATLY and COZILY REIGN

Worked an usher gig where patrons weren't allowed to take photos in the theater. Really hoping Famke Janssen never remembers who asked her to flip through her camera roll

I have earnestly never laughed harder at an actor breaking type like that.

Went down a Google rabbit hole to make sure I wasn't imagining this place, but RKO Video in Manhattan.

Of course, a Blockbuster eventually put it out of business.

I imagine this has happened with other Marvel movies, but was anyone else spoiled for the post-credits scene by the music credit before?

THUNDERBOLTS! Look, it's ... fine. Much more entertaining, coherent and well-shot than Marvel of late. Even emotional at times. Still that kind of listless "but what will they *do* with any of this" feeling.

Ah, that wonderful time of year when more of us are out in warm weather, and have completely forgotten how to use sidewalks
