I've been rewatching some older nerd shows and a fascinating thing is when a character gets annoying, and then dies later that season. It's an interesting tightrope to walk - like, how much of a jerk is too much?

Kevin was flopping around like a goof and mugging for belly rubs so I tried to take a picture of his decidedly undignified relaxing poses and he immediately composed himself like, "How dare you. I have always been the most refined of gentlemen."

Kindle Lock In coming: You have until February 26 to download your Kindle content. After that, Amazon is removing the "download and transfer" option. Oh, and saving your entire library locally is tedious because you have to download each item individually.

Somehow, Palpatine has returned....

Seeing Seth Myers behind the news desk...Siri, play "I Miss You" by Klymaxx #SNL50

TV show: "You've traveled here to Rome..." Me: "Sir, that looks like the courtyard of the City Hall in Pasadena. That is a Pasadena ass street lamp..."

This. When i hear my students talk about the workload of webtoon i bristle because it had always been the norm in webcomics to just dedicate a day or two and all was find. Hustle and grind culture applied to comics kills the ppl working in it every time

Also!! Now you can buy e-books and support your local indie from bookshop.org!

As long as I've had a Kindle (2009 or so?) I've always downloaded books to my laptop and imported into Calibre. About a year ago the Kindle laptop app stopped allowing this and I started buying my books from Kobo and haven't looked back. Can't trust these people not to take back the things you buy!

Also, never feel bad if you can only donate a "small" amount, because there is no such thing as a small amount in fundraising. It all accumulates. If you just give $2, there's probably 10,000 other ppl who give $2...so that $20k towards helping folks.

Corporate journalism is fundamentally broken. Support your fave independent outlet today. Support trans writers, Black creators, disabled advocates. Support people who are just coming up. Wanna fight fascism? Give $3/mo to three organizations—and tell everyone you know how AMAZING these orgs are.

A brief word about disaster relief/support: Instead of donating to the Red Cross as a default, seek out reputable local orgs for whichever area is being affected. They are often more tapped into on-the-ground needs and mobilize quicker. Don't forget Matching Gifts if your job offers them.

Were you a VA staffer who worked on the Veterans Crisis Line and were fired? Or are you there now and know about firings? Please reach out to me for a story at Task & Purpose. I promise to protect sources. Signal is nslayton.12

The Emperor’s New Groove is a fantasy movie because a rich narcissist oligarch learns empathy by spending time with normal people. And also he gets turned into a llama

*awkwardly dropping this in your decorated shoebox, don't read too much into it because we're all putting one into literally everyone else's boxes, but I do think you're cool too*

Watching the Lonely Islend medley from the #SNL music special and Chris Parnell looks even more like a Beastie Boy now

Rob Marshall's "Glengarry Glen Ross"

John Carpenter's "Matilda"

Hey can we stop acting like the Muskrat dipshits don’t know what they’re doing? Treating them like they don’t know any better uwu is dangerous. They know what they’re doing; they just don’t give a fuck, OR they’re doing exactly what they’ve been ordered to do. The incompetence is 100% intentional.

What could be more romantic than making your boo a weapon as divine as the love you have for her. 🥰

An excellent place to get last minute gifts for the gamers in your life!

Can't sleep and Spider-Man NWH was on so I watch the last like third. Peter Parker is a character that a lot of writers don't want to be an adult and love to treat him like shit. Like a pathological amount of bad things happen to him & they refuse to let him be happy it seems?

if you were the sort of person to notice that every Trump property has a T to remove, you may also be the sort of person to come up with a plan in unrelated news it’s a good time of year to go outside and do something with your friends
