The "I'm sick of all these streaming services" to "I have a serious blu-ray purchasing addiction" pipeline.

*resisting the impulse to speak my mind on the Teams chat at work when someone drops a particularly bad take*

The net was even nonchalant about it.

Reflection of the WTC in a puddle

Sorry, not shopping at Target is just part of my personality now.

TBF, this is pretty much our go-to when our dog has diarrhea.

Watched the Florence Pugh WWE movie, and it is very weird that I can no longer half believe that it isn't real anymore.

Makes you think... old flip phones were shaped a lot more like suppositories.

Maybe he's better now, as the thread indicates, but he totally abandoned anything appealing about himself as a candidate when he ran for Senate.

*voted for Malcolm Kenyatta btw

Some thoughts on Conor Lamb:

First, he won in the district I grew up in. Cool.

Then through redistricting he won in my current district, which can support a much more progressive candidate. Less cool.

Then I remember him spring fire after the insurrection. Cool.

That's where the cool ends.

I think we can only find out for sure if we were to just let it happen. Sounds like a plan.

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

James Baldwin

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing.

they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran.

for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

I volunteer to negotiate the peace treaty. I have a great idea on how we could settle this...

Morality is when killing an evil person is abhorrent, but the death of everyone else is just the cost of doing business.

Literally watched this for the first time last night. Today has not been the best chaser for that experience.

It's a long fucking list and Iranian schoolgirls aren't anywhere on it.

I'm gonna go with Iranian schoolgirls not being my enemy or people who pose any particular threat to me who got killed for no reason.

the US once again sending the message loud and clear: never negotiate, just get nukes. Never compromise, just get nukes. Never give in to sanctions, just get nukes.

what could go wrong

Impossible to prove, but I'm pretty sure I would suspect John Fetterman enjoyed eating children even if he didn't look like an ogre.

The US Men's Hockey thing seems like the perfect warmup for my sentiments toward another bullshit war.

Perhaps morality never actually worked on the first place, but it is inarguably broken.

Look, I get that this is an any day that ends with Y kind of thing, but really feeling that I watched Grave of the Fireflies for the first time right before bed last night.

Just bringing up again, the Worf/Elnor buddy cop series... Quark gets roped into the action against his will...

This doesn't really answer the question because... who wouldn't love this?

Overheard little kids on the playground saying they were going to play Pennywise, and now I just want to workshop other playground games based on Bill Skarsgård roles.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 4️⃣

Watching the original Scream, and it's wild the way my brain completely suppressed any knowledge of the existence of Jamie Kennedy until right this minute.

It's the weirdest thing. I bailed all the way back when they removed Prodigy, but somehow haven't missed anything* in the interim.

*Still haven't gotten around to Section 31

We're already to the point that it really shouldn't matter if it's available on streaming because we should absolutely not be supporting Paramount+ in the first place.

If that means no more new Star Trek, oh well.
