Robby Pettinato

December is the worst time of the year for people with keratoconus

So I’ve never actually sat through a James Bond film before. It’s a massive blind spot in my pop culture lexicon, so I decided to watch every single one in order.

I genuinely had no idea how much of a sex pest 007 is. Sheeeeeeesh!

that famous image of george bush receiving the news about 9/11 but he's sitting at the hot ones table with some sauce on his mouth

Yep, tried watching one thing and immediately noped out. I’m using my Plex server more and more these days.

Who else is absolutely floored by apple’s genmoji abilities? We really do live in the future. #apple #genmoji

Livenation might be the absolute worst industry monopoly in human history. I have no idea how their merger with TM was even possible, and the carnage it’s wreaked on the entertainment industry is just fucking awful.

The older I get, the more I align with all of the baddies from the Pokemon games. Team Plasma did nothing wrong ☹️

Good luck!!

Someone get Mattel on bluesky so we can harass them about rereleasing Mighty Max. Them sitting on that IP has left the toy industry in shambles.

Law & Order doing an episode on SWATing in 2024. I guess there’s a lot of stuff they missed in the 10 years off the air?

The lack of responses really shows that all of the old Austinites left a long time ago 😩 Mr. Gatti has suffered for it.

3 panel meme from arrested development. First panel: Tobias on a couch saying “Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over? An analyst and a therapist. The world’s first analrapist. 2nd panel: Lindsay on a couch saying “yes, and you were almost arrested for those business cards.” 3rd panel: photo of the business card, saying “Tobias Funke, M.D. ANALRAPIST”

The surgery is nothing too scary. You’re conscious but numb, more tedious than anything. Healing sucks for like 2-4 days. It’s a bit early in my experience but I do recommend it if it’s in your budget. Even after insurance, (fuck this country’s health care) in total I’m out like ~$4500 I think?

It definitely dramatically slowed (maybe stopped?) the progression in my right eye, which I had done in early summer. It takes about 3 months to fully heal and “set” into a stable prescription. Left eye was done last Thursday, pain is completely gone now and it’s just blurry, each day gets better—>

obsessed with this because putting on a bald cap instead of shaving your head is less like solidarity and more like “this is what you look like to me”

Close up black and white photo of a young Jack Nicholson, with his trademark high arched eyebrows in full display.

Ever wonder why everyone with Jack Nicholson’s eyebrows (except for Jack Nicholson) is a sociopath?

disclaimer: I guess it’s possible Nicholson was a sociopath so don’t come at me.

Ugh, now I’m thinking about what Warren Beatty could do with a Dick Tracy sequel mirroring today’s politics.

“But all of our other awful and unqualified candidates won!!!”

I love that this dropped days after I had my second crosslinking surgery for keratoconus. I’m fortunate to have caught it somewhat early and it wasn’t as aggressive as @grahamisador.bsky.social‘s case but nonetheless I feel very seen (lol?) right now. Excited to hear the rest of the series!

Evidently I can’t do math before 10am. 13 years ago, but still 😤

I can’t believe that awful redesign was *15 YEARS AGO* 👴🏻

Idk dawg, I’m pretty sure by volume LEGO bricks cost more than Botox. Maybe Mega Bloks or Best Lock though.

Within hours of randomly watching the Black Mirror episode with Boney M a few weeks ago, by pure coincidence a friend of mine texted me saying she had Rasputin stuck in her head. Ever since, it hasn’t left my skull. Now you all can suffer too.

Big fan of cat wall furniture. 10/10 for #cat content.

How was there only one Australian survivor on a flight from Australia to LA? This is the one true plot hole on LOST.
