The world is a beautiful place if not for the bad parts, nothing to do but write about it. I like Final Fantasy, and I live in a house with a dog. http://bluehighwind.blogspot.com
I love Lord of the Rings. And Game of Thrones. But there might be nothing less interesting to me now than a third act big mess of a set piece battle. We have all this wonder and magic, does it always have to be this?
Was watching Wildwood and was thinking how like Spirited Away didn’t need any of that, and how at no point in my life did I ever think Howl’s Moving Castle needed a big war conclusion. Howl might even forget the war entirely at some point.
I’ve seen two trailers for biopics in the last few weeks featuring actors doing hysterically bad impressions, sub-Elliot Kalan on a podcast level comedy impressions, one for a Jimmy Stewart so bad I laughed out loud.
Congress needs to investigate what is happening.
My text messages, last 24 hours:
<unknown> “did you vote yet??”
<unknown> “did you vote yet??”
<Roommate Chat> “damn, spilled something in the kitchen, sorry”
<unknown> “Are you voting now??”
<Family sports chat> “lol Packers”
<unknown> “I’m in your house, call me, you better have voted.”
No politics are local anymore. Every single country is on a knife’s edge towards complete madness and we need to celebrate every victory in every nation, we are together in this war.
American conservatives are constantly bemoaning the decline of aesthetic standards and calling for a return to tailored suits and classical Roman architecture, but are now forced to defend the Cheesecake Factory. A constant tension between the Brooks Brothers patrician and the Kid Rock populist.
Oh shit, I was so busy today I forgot to pray to our glorious Saint Agnes Tachyon. Please grant our Broncos power and forgive my failures as your suffering servant. 🙇

Hey, it’s that poster I did 🐱 and it’s cat-approved!!
Thank you to everyone who picked one up, and thank you to Konami for having me on this project! 😻
This Dropout Holmes show is an all-timer if you want Guys: William H Macy, Laurie Metcalf, Stephen Fry, that guy from Law & Order, Michael Ironside, Kurtwood Smith, Seyfried of course. Just when you think they’re out of Guys, in walks Ritchie from the Bear!
Plus they seem to have a limitless budget for licensed pop music. Somehow Firework is more impressive to me budget-wise than if they blew up a building.
We’re like five years away from the full death of video games as an industry and somehow six years from now Ubisoft will still claim they’re developing Beyond Good and Evil 2.
2026 was a failure for the Yankees because the only goal they should have had was getting this guy fired. If there is baseball next season the Yankees can be safely written off already.
youtu.be/LEYmVzdJaqg?... - the thing I must share this afternoon is this YouTube series of these two guys driving across an entire hemisphere in a goofy, impractical, uncomfortable three-wheeled Reliant Robin car.
It takes a decade to release a Dragon Quest because they’re made with love and passion. But you instead let’s burn 15,000 gallons of water and the souls of three orphan children…
it happens that i've been thinking about this for other reasons lately and will voice some of it on a podcast soon but it is REALLY interesting how fiction was historically disparaged for being untrue and misleading but has now warped into a reservoir of "possibilities to which I can feel entitled"
I’ve been fired several times in my life, but I usually last five days. So anyway, I’ll do the job. I promise I’ll last six days and every word will be the truth.
If a White House press secretary announces the president has resigned and is surrendering himself to police arrest for crimes against humanity, that’s binding, right?
I aim my flying tesla at the woke public library "this will be your *last* drag story hour" I hiss between my newly divorced teeth, I step on the gas, the car explodes, killing me instantly.
