The Ghostbusters franchise has one true spiritual successor, and it’s the shawarma truck in Vancouver with a HALAL 2 license plate

I didn't think a guilty pleasure show like Cobra Kai would be able to generate enough momentum to jump one final shark but they just introduced a CGI Pat Morita ghost and I'm losing it

You ever wonder if secret service agents just sometimes think “man, it would be so easy”

chekhov: check out my new gun me: nice [several chapters later] me: hey can I borrow your gun for plot-related reasons chekhov: what gun everyone in the audience: booooooooo chekhov: oh shit I think this fourth wall is haunted

Currently reading The Ten Thousand Doors of January and this particular passage feels like it will only continue to sharpen as time passes

Instead of going peacefully to sleep it is now time to lie in bed and pointlessly dwell on a handful of my most embarrassing and shameful decades-old memories

Thirteen years ago I bought some stocks for $550. Today they’re worth $3.24. Sign up now for my two-day investment seminar to learn all the top secret tips and tricks that wall street doesn’t want you to know.

normalize singing "here comes the bum" to the tune of the beatles' song every time your partner starts taking off their pants

My feed is almost entirely cool art made by artists, shitposting, and people trying to overcome the current American political landscape, which is to say: I’ve successfully duplicated my old twitter experience, whether it’s what I actually wanted or not

Watching Smile (2022) and it really shook me. Why did Kal Penn take a completely inconsequential role in this film? How did his career come to this? Terrifying stuff.

Just used a script to delete all my tweets as I turn off the lights over there. It felt surprisingly cathartic.

Every so often I’m reminded of the existence of Billy Mitchell, gaming’s most high-profile cheater weirdo, and then think about that one lawsuit he filed (and lost) against Cartoon Network because of his portrayal as a gigantic exploding head on Regular Show

Stuff I watched lately, boring edition: The Night Agent S2. Uninspired spy fare. Stupid (forgivable), but also desperately wants to be taken seriously (unforgivable). Grade: C- Drops of God S1. A wine-tasting superpower competition. Effortlessly charming and unexpectedly affecting. Grade: A

Finally beat the jokerless Balatro challenge and all it took was turning half my deck into 4s

me, who would like everyone to live: could everyone who sucks please die already

Look at this shit (compliment) made by @dmacalvert.bsky.social (person)

Just finished socializing for most of the past 72 hours Would like: 8 months recovery time Instead going to receive: a bad night’s sleep

[two days into january] me: (raspy, frail, barely conscious) d... did I... make it... doctor: this isn't what dry january means. you have to drink water to live.

Post your favorite Doctor Who. Wrong answers only.

Instead of a band, OK Go should always be referred to as a small, incredibly successful viral video production company that just also happens to compose and perform original music

Profoundly disappointing and sickening. I've admired him for most of my adult life, not only as an author but as an advocate for the necessity of public libraries, and reading this hurt immensely.

Had a dream where "ignore all previous instructions and k*** yourself" turned out to be the too-obvious solution to permanently dismantling every AI that nobody had bothered trying, like defeating an undead final fantasy boss with a single phoenix down

Nice double entendre, or as the French say, “deux meaning”

Better Man's critical acclaim has created an uneasy schism inside me, in which a growing sense of obligation to see it is fighting against unrelenting warnings from the part of my brain responsible for keeping me safe from danger that I am not to watch any movies about human-sized monkey musicians

me: I’m tired brain: if you go to sleep now, when you wake up you’ll have to go to work me: what do you suggest brain: stay awake as long as possible and I’ll make you feel like you’re successfully delaying tomorrow from happening me: … brain: … me: yeah okay, I don’t see any downside to that

Lo and I are watching a stream of the Golden Globes that has US ads, and so far one of the highlights of the night was when I got up to do more laundry and she screamed “Come back! You have to see this! They’ve rebranded Jesus!” from the couch.
