I really don't think I should have to verify that I am human to look at the Cheesecake Factory menu online. Dogs and robots should be able to look at 57 types of cheesecakes too.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Mine is the first line of my BlueSky bio.

Scott Glenn

Jack Ryan reading so intently that he forgets he's standing in an elevator is still one of the best character moments I've ever seen.

They really did get Connery to say "Cortezh" and "Buckaroo" in the same scene.

Jan de Bont Tha Gawd

Family is asleep and I'm gonna stay up and pack some more so it's time for a Dad Movie All-Timer.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

In POLTERGEIST, Craig T. Nelson is reading a Reagan biography.

Washington is a President. Reagan is also a President. Craig T. Nelson's face is next a President's face in a feature film from 1982.

And now I see why these AIs are driving people insane.

David Strathairn oughta sue.

Me: I love books. I will never stop buying them. I will die buried beneath them like a cairn.

Me while packing: whose shitass idea was this?

Did you have like a liturgical beef or was he just in a bad mood?

3 is the smoothest one of the bunch and actually seems to improve my terrible handwriting

Bring back virtue signaling IMO. It's good to signal that you have virtue! A lot of people don't!

Papa was Naval Intelligence in the Pacific Theater, too, so sometimes you'd ask him what he did in the war and he'd say "I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you."

Papa was a WWII Navy vet who became an accountant and ended up basically running a whole Alcoa plant.

Grandaddy was an Army veteran (1950s, stationed in Germany, no combat) who came back and started his own gas station business which he ran for five decades.

Miss the hell out of them both.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

Episode 66: Tales of Edgar Allan Poe with Annie Neugebauer Listen to The Scares That Shaped Us on RedCircle

If I ever pass on an opportunity to gush about Papa Poe, please check for a pulse. 💀 Thank you so much to @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social for having me on this week’s @scaresshapedus.bsky.social episode! It was an absolute blast. I hope you’ll give it a listen! redcircle.com/shows/41a2d4...

More men would probably read were there not a cadre of billionaire pedophiles and tech bros who need low information voters with limited imaginations to serve as grunts.

How to win in November

Gonna need a scene in here where Aaron Pierre calmly explains his Green Lantern powers while someone is feverishly Googling him only to realize they have Fucked Around and are about to Find Out.

For the second time, this podcast has become a Poecast.

I always love when we get to be a Poecast for a bit.

Merch — Todd Keisling | The Official Website

Hey, folks. All my leftover stock from AuthorCon is now available in my online shop. I have one copy of Sundowner's Dance left, plus a few new editions of Final Rec & Ugly Little Things, and several Cold, Black & Infinite. They'll go fast! www.toddkeisling.com/merch

In a very tender moment, my three-year-old son just asked me to sit with him, put his arms around me, and gently asked "Where did Halloween go?"

Y'all he's One Of Us I can feel it.

Cannot wait for the @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social segment on this daring heist.

I didn't know that early copies were available yet and I just emailed your publicist so, so very fast.

Moving and work have kept me out of the gym for the past couple of months and I am itching to get back. I know I've lost some strength but by mid-March I should be rolling again.
