I say this without irony or sarcasm: I think John Cena would make a pretty good Frankenstein's Monster in a set-in-modern-day adaptation of that story. bloody-disgusting.com/movie/387018...

My favorite example of this comes from over a century ago when the Self-Playing Piano industry argued that if they had to pay royalties on the hit songs they were programming their machines to play, they would go under. This really is a second verse same as the first situation.

Businesses forcing Ai on employees is infuriating. At least with previous techbro scams—the NFTs, the crypt—you didn’t have to get involved unless you bought into the lie. But now with AI, they’ve has decided the problem isn’t that they’re selling shitty scams, it’s that they gave us a choice.

Ah, the fun of trading emails and phone calls one day at a time between contractors who want as much money as possible and and the insurance company who wants to pay out as little as possible. With my house looking like a torn-out husk downstairs in the meantime.

I don't know what's worse, having a president who approves a post of himself as some kinda sith lord on Star Wars Day... or having to see the image everywhere because everyone is reacting to it and providing it with the engagement he seeks.

Hey, they’re having a sale on my D&D comic run (thanks Mike!). we had a lot of fun on this, and I think it’s a nice bit of work from all involved. “Working class heroes in a D&D world.”

The next Borderlands game looks pretty slick, but after the past few misfires, I will probably be waiting several months before I decide if I'm going to buy it. It took almost a year for Borderlands 3 to settle into an endgame groove that didn't suck.

I was a stand-up comic, I've had 10,000 people hate me to my FACE. Feeding normies into what one could even consider a second-stage fame machine is nothing short of cruelty, and we turned it into a requirement for some jobs.

Well, as if having to replace our furnace and our air conditioner within 4 months wasn't bad enough, our plumbing decided to flood my basement with sewer water today. 2025 SUCKS, in case anyone was on the fence about it.

I suspect Gaiman filing for arbitration against Caroline Wallner has nothing to do with him trying to get money from her -- she doesn't have any. And it may not be about silencing others, either (though that may be a side benefit). Wallner filed for arbitration against Gaiman for his breaking...

Okay, had someone demanding to know if a one-reel silent film passed the Bechdel Test, so once more from the top... The Bechdel Test is not a measure of a film's feminism. It is an intentionally low bar designed to show how little women have to do in modern movies.

The new Toxic Avenger flick swaps out 'everyone is a cartoon character' splatstick for 'the protagonist is confronted by cartoonishly evil reality and is transformed into a suitable avenger' satirical splatstick. Works for me. youtu.be/E_B2Z2CKOIM?...

I'm so sad that @greaterthangames.bsky.social got the axe thanks to Flat River Group & insane tariffs. I ❤️ many of their games, especially Spirit Island and Sentinels of the Multiverse. I once owned everything they produced, though they eventually outpaced me. www.geeknative.com/172400/great...

AI apparently stands for “arrogant idiocy.” I’ve been fact-checking the little AI summaries Google now adds at the top of if result pages, and I sure wouldn’t want to rely on those, they’re full of inventions.
