When you inevitably compare Peter to Monoco and I have to explain to my partner what/who that is, it's really going to affect my listenership.

As a primarily C++ programmer, this isn't a puzzle. It's condemnation of a programming language.

When there is a single antagonist in a story, and a new character is revealed to be the antagonist (in disguise), that's not a twist. Its just...continuing to have an antagonist.

a cartoon turkey with flames behind it 's tail Alt: a cartoon turkey with flames behind as it cries, letters say X 3 times as they spin in.

congratulations everyone on another anniversary of that time the pilgrims in plymouth first bowled 3 strikes in a row

The band IDLES keeps getting recommended to me. The algorithm clearly thinks "this guy wants to hear indie rock overlayed with the dialog of a Guy Ritchie movie".

I played the Metroid Prime 4 demo and it’s worrying. Samus has a cold and frequently sneezes all over the inside of her helmet. There’s no way to clean it so you have to wait for the snot to drip off the glass. I hope she isn’t sick for the whole game.

Event planners being replaced by highly trained Situation planners.

All the children on this ferry need to spend less time crying and more time honoring our veterans.

Can we all agree that ordering soup in a fast food restaurant is psycho behavior?

After Silksong, the next logical project for Team Cherry is to remake Koudelka. Whether they follow up with Shadow Hearts remakes will really depend on rights issues.

My default reaction to any advertisement is to unsubscribe, so when the co-op emailed me about pre-ordering heritage thanksgiving birds, I had to stop, nod at my phone and say out loud "no, this is a good email" before moving my finger off the button.

I like to browse surf cams on really big days and I'll often see one lone speck of a surfer out amongst the huge waves. I'll shake my head in admiration, whisper "brave dude", and spend minutes waiting for them to take a wave. Slowly I'll realize I'm staring at a speck of dust on my monitor.

Donating to the local food bank should make me feel good but it doesn't. It just makes me sad and angry that individual action is needed - not because of a lack of societal resources to address the problems, but because of the willful cruelty of the GOP.

I'm convinced only a tiny fraction of people touting AI actually believe it's the future. The vast majority are performing an economy-wide pump and are just waiting for it to peak so they can cash out before the dump that everyone knows is coming.

I need somebody real smart or super high to explain Jeff Vandermeer's Absolution to me. It's rare that I enjoy something so much with so little understanding of what it's about.

Today is when I learned that posting "LFG!!!" does not mean someone is "Looking for a group". The world is now a less confusing place, but it's clear I spent too much of my youth playing WoW.

I don't like to brag, but even after all the nerf patches, I was still able to 1-shot Simon with Maelle.

This is my new line in the sand: insisting we all remember the Hard Copy episode about some woman in Jersey birthing a 90 year old man who aged backwards and they made a movie about it with brad pitt.

Please don't ask me why I was googling the curious case of Benjamin button.

This made me belly laugh.

"Help I shit my pants"

One of the better 16th minute episodes interviews the hogs guy. We who laughed at him may have been the true feral hogs.

The new Geese album will soon replace air as the thing I breathe to stay alive.

Was at Target yesterday and they were playing the album. College age girls were walking around mouthing the lyrics and it had just come out. Maybe Taylor just isn't for us middle aged childless dads anymore.

Update: good god was I wrong. Just hang in there till act 3.

One time at a Revivalists show the singer came out into the audience during a song and when there was a pause I told him to pop his shirt off and the girl standing next to me punched me.

Facebook CEO Demos New Meta AI And It Couldn't Have Gone Worse A recipe for disaster, asking an AI to help with Korean steak sauce live on stage

Absolute cinema.

I feel deeply ashamed that I just can't stay focused on Expedition 33. The story is compelling, the acting, writing and music are superb, the combat system is deep and challenging. But for some reason after an hour I just put it down and walk away from it for weeks.

Fuck the earth. Every bad thing that ever happened to me occurred there.

I firmly believe the Steve Miller band didn't actually exist and is just an AI hallucination we all share in. That's why you can't picture "Steve Miller" but can recite every lyric of The Joker (1973, but probably 2025).
