this was what made me hesitate to try Common Side Effects (also Mike Judge being involved with it, given that he has some connection to Alex Jones, adds to the awkward) - not the best time for this kind of story. *but* the show is pretty good (and from a co-creator of the awesome Scavengers Reign) 🤷‍♂️

Not a profound or nuanced observation, obviously, but I am really struggling with how fucking evil everything is every day. Everything I love and admire about this stupid and amazing country just constantly getting vandalized and brutalized by people who hate all those things. Not digging it.

(chuckling wisely) You fool... I am getting my ass kicked *strategically*

An extraordinary, eloquent, courageous letter from Dean Treanor. This is how you stand up to a bully. Proud to be a double Hoya today.

I feel like there has been some significant backsliding on one of the things that made bsky so appealing earlier - a lot more quote dunking on dummies here lately. I’m just muting those dummies myself (and they are dumb!) but I liked it better when these people were just ignored or blocked.

I always appreciate when my timeline is full of post after post of people rightly disgusted by awful stuff in the world and then one in the middle is declaring ambivalence to new character designs in Shrek.

some days, man...

The Clown Paradox: the more negative the online review of a clown is, the funnier the clown sounds

Happy 'Who do you think you are?! I am!' day to all who celebrate. On this day in 2012; Pete Weber wins his fifth PBA U.S. Open, and in the midst of losing his motherfucking shit, he unleashed an iconic catchphrase on the world.

Going to start posting this every time I catch myself coming close to wading into video game discourse.

My body is ready.

They screwed this all up.

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

I wish I knew how to build my own bsky feed, I would make one that is my timeline but that allows only two posts that spark existential dread per hour. The ratio of bad to fun is way too high, but I'd allow in a little bit of dread as a treat, as long as it's balanced with a good amount of nonsense.

Hell yeah

I like old Marvel comics when they have titles like “Unto This Forbidden Path…Lies The Madness Of Man!” and then the plot is like Electro robs a pie factory or something.

Man this Commanders season has been absolutely unreal. Feels like an immediate repayment for all the bullshit we’ve had to slog through under Snyder. I truly was fine losing (and feel genuinely terrible for Lions fans, woof) but man… we could be in the Super Bowl??? Is that legal???

So here's what's cool about my job: Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

David Lynch was a man of mystery. I’ve seen Mulholland Dr. a dozen times and I still can’t figure out who’s the doctor

Twin Peaks made a huge impression on me when I found it in college, and I've rewatched it many times. I loved Lynch went wild with The Return, but was sad that, unlike original Twin Peaks, it wasn't Lynch collaborating with and fitting inside of "normal" tv. I still hoped he'd decide to do more tho.

This is so damn cool — and such good, detailed work ahead of a playoff game — from @sam4tr.bsky.social and @arturgalocha.bsky.social. Again, Commanders readers are endlessly lucky to have Sam covering an ascendent team: www.washingtonpost.com/sports/inter...

This football game is brutal. Poor Vikings. Very bad time for Sam Darnold to realize he’s Sam Darnold.

Jayden Daniels orchestrated another game-winning drive to set up Zane Gonzalez’s 37-yard field goal for a 23-20 win. The win was Washington’s first in the playoffs since 2006 and sent it to an NFC divisional-round matchup at the top-seeded Detroit Lions on Saturday.

It was very hard not to think about the 1999 playoff game tonight when they took their last timeout at :03 left. But this is a team of destiny that cannot be defeated by such cursed history! (We are gonna lose to the Lions and that is fine)

That doink stopped my heart for half a second. #httc

This is what owning a Sega Dreamcast felt like

I love that the Like A Dragon series has incredibly rich and well-developed characters that you really grow to love, and an intricate (and honestly a bit too convoluted) plot full of twists and turns and political backstabbing and Yakuza shenanigans, and also...the Honk Honk Man.

Absolutely zero stage presence but they sound incredible.. classic BtS

my TikTok algorithm is extremely locked in on Jayden Daniels videos, and that is okay with me

Never any doubt #httc
