Wild how I can still remember the lyrics to albums I loved when I was fourteen but not what I did yesterday

Good News: New Adventures in Hi-Fi still slaps.

Bad News (for me specifically): It's almost 30 years old. ☹️

I don't know why capers have to come in jars too narrow for a fork or spoon

Credit Card Companies Are Hurting the Future of Video Games By going after Itch.io, “we’re really hamstringing the future of arts and communication.”

Payment processors should not get to decide artistic merit

Update: this month I bought a top-up so I could listen to the last fifteen minutes of Lords and Ladies

‘Akira’ Rights Up for Grabs as Japanese Sci-Fi Leaves Warner Bros. (Exclusive) After 20 years, a dozen creatives attached and millions spent on development, Warners is moving on from the seminal property.

Probably for the best that the live-action adaptation of Akira is dead, but what I really wish would happen instead is a series adaptation (preferably animated) that covers the material in the hugely divergent manga. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

The main thing I’ll miss after my trip to Paris are the water bottle caps: they all had an extra piece of plastic that kept the cap attached to the bottle so you could hang it off to the side and never lose it. Simple, genius, obvious… and we don’t have it here.

I just learned about the "zip of death" and had to restrain myself from downloading it just for the hell of it github.com/iamtraction/...

Listening to the new Black Country, New Road and it's kind of fascinating how they're essentially a completely different band on every album

Severance is one of the best arguments for the creative failure of the binge streaming model: episodes that stand alone, have wildly varying tones, require time to unpack, and people fucking love it!

Also *spoilers* but in Guards! Guards! a shadowy cabal accidentally installs a dragon as king and must satisfy its desire for gold and imperialist expansionism so uh yeah

Listening to audiobooks on Spotify is great because the selection is fantastic but terrible because 15 hours a month is not enough to satisfy my desire to binge Discworld

Now I guess we have to watch The West Wing or something so we can fantasize about a functioning government.

I also find it hilarious that "don't be suspicious", possibly the most iconic meme I'd ever seen from the show, is from the *series finale*.

We finished watching Parks and Recreation last night (both of us had only seen bits and pieces here and there) and maybe more shows should have a victory lap season that serves as a capstone and also makes you cry every other episode.

I’ve been re-reading the Discworld books in publishing order - the new audiobooks are all on Spotify - because they’re comfort reads for me, but I’m also remembering that they’re pretty consistently about fighting fascism from the street level. And that’s a comfort too, in a different sort of way.

Laid (TV Show) | Peacock Watch Laid, a new comedy starring Stephanie Hsu about the mysterious deaths of a woman's former partners, which forces her to retrace her sexual past. Stream now on Peacock!

Laid on Peacock is very entertaining - it improves immediately after the pilot, which is a little slow - but it's also fairly bloody/violent for what is essentially a fantasy rom-com premise. Made me wonder how it compares to the Australian version.

YouTube video by Pavement Pavement- "Harness Your Hopes" (Official Music Video)

When I watched this, I was very confused about why an actress who looked so much like Sophie Thatcher was in what I assumed was a remastered Pavement music video youtu.be/w2Ww_O3ceKU?...

As a chef, my biggest strength is making a thirty minute meal in at least an hour and a half

Reneé Rapp left The Sex Lives of College Girls to focus on her career as a singer, and the reporting made it seem a bit abrupt, so it absolutely feels like a dig at her that Gracie Lawrence, who joined the show as the new friend/roommate, ends the season by performing a blowout musical number

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Today I did my part by spending $17 on a mediocre sandwich at the office cafe, glad I could support capitalism or whatever

My review of Carry-On: When the cop drove through the LAX traffic circle on Christmas Eve in about 30 seconds, I yelled “bullshit” and pointed at the screen. Everything else was way more believable
