Last week, I had a nice chat with a girl at a party and gave her my number. This week, I’ve gotten twelve texts from unknown numbers that all start with “Hi, Derrick!” All from special interest groups asking for my vote in the midterm elections. Each is a tiny reminder that I will die alone.

“All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” “That explains why this movie is so boring!” “Dohohohohohohohoho!”

Kubrick's ‘The Shining’ and ‘The Muppet Show’ were filming next door to each other at Elstree Studios, and that’s how Danny Lloyd got to visit and hang with Kermit in 1979.

Okay, but I would actually play THIS game...

Men are encouraged to be lousy, completely deficient fathers in our society. My son and I laugh about all the dads we’ve seen ignoring their kids so they can stare at their all-important phones

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

I actually literally do not think they realize what they've done here. Sonic isn't just a game with fans. It's basically embedded in the fabric of the internet. Since I clicked the link ten minutes ago, two THOUSAND more people joined. And it only has five channels to post in and four moderators.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

I've avoided reading anything about it but I am so excited for PENGUIN COLONY. I went hoarse recommending Umurangi Generation back in 2020 and failed (but valiantly tried) to get that game to win all the awards over its AAA competitors store.steampowered.com/app/3695930/...

store.steampowered.comPenguin Colony on SteamCosmic horror, through the eyes of a penguin. Rival human factions have come to your home in the Antarctic, seeking an ancient and inconceivable being. Observe their descent into insanity in this fait...

When reviews for Digger called it “unwatchable,” too many friends texted me “this sounds like Peak Derrick.” Well, I just saw Digger, and… Damn, I loved that movie. I flippin’ ruled. Go see Digger, everyone. I wanna talk about Digger with y’all. 🪏

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

every writer should do their research, not only because it makes your writing better, but because it can lead to finding things like this New Yorker cover ft. chubby Pikachu with a huge sack of cash

His vocabulary is so limited it’s like reading a transcript of Koko, the gorilla who knew sign language, if Koko were a white nationalist

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings
