I'll have a quarter-dozen egg omelet, please.

Drop a film you saw on a first date.

"You want to buy an AI-powered toothbrush with built-in camera?" ... Fuck, no. "It's only $500!" Fuck no!

At this point I'm just assuming that any article using 'quietly' as an adverb is AI generated. Including articles nominally critical of AI.

I miss beef.

I sometimes fiddle around with the Heroforge miniature modeling site. Here's one for the season.

Heyyy are you an author who has sold a book and then negotiated staying attached as a screenwriter and likes answering questions because I am in need of some hypothetical advice very fast for no reason at all.

Mighty Jebus, I can't focus on any particular thing this week for more than twenty minutes. There's probably a reason.

@mercuryeric.bsky.social I think this is relevant to your interests.

Dr. Doom facts: When Doom was born, he slapped the doctor! No one dares play tic-tac-toe with Doctor Doom, because no one crosses DOOM and lives! #drdoom

Um. Um. Hey, dude... um. I think you have ... a problem there.

Went to start a web page today, not having much clue. Tried Wix, and they put the upgrade squeeze on so early, hard, and fast that I noped out and cancelled before I even saw any kind of site builder/editor. Back to square one.

Saw MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE 👍B+ Enjoyable in general, appealing to a 10-12 year old boy vibe. Several drawn-out cringy scenes that seem to go out of their way to mock Kids These Days, and itself, but overall likeable. If it had taken itself a bit more seriously, maybe an A-.

My earworm seems to be drunk, or maybe bored. Yesterday, Britney Spears. Today, Boy George. This is not stuff I would want to have on repeat.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day 👍👍 I'm never terribly happy with Spider-Man adaptations, but this one feels like a comic book, or actually more like several issues of a comic book.

I was wondering when he'd get to werewolves.

Review: Weapons (2025). Seventeen children mysteriously go missing overnight. Effectively creepy, relatively grounded, gruesome, and coherent.

My tradition for Independence Day: Polish sausage, white tortilla with cheese, blue corn chips, watch Captain America, a reminder of when we fought authoritarian megalomaniacs.

#farscape is on a run of mostly disconnected eps, but one plot thread leads to a coming 3-run, so maybe some lines will get picked up. One ep was Rashomon In Space, another was a lifetime timewarp. I'm not overly impressed, but the next run looks like a spaghetti space western.

Last night's movie: The Running Man, a documentary about modern politics and society playing out in a popular reality game show. 👍👍but the finale was a bit cooked.

#farscape continues to be uneven. A good three-episode run with considerable character dev and multiple antagonists is followed by what looks like a filler bottle episode pretending to be an Alien movie, involving two unconvincing puppets and some middling CGI bugs.

I am astonished that I haven't seen this video plastered across socials since the Slime Pool started.

Today I discovered that deer sneeze. That's not exactly a surprise, except that a deer having a sneezing fit in my backyard was unexpected, and that deer sneezes sound like water falling on an electric plate.

'I so tired of three ears. Much sad.'

Farscape may be a Star Wars RPG campaign mixed with Blake's 7 elements, set in Wild Space. #starwarsd6 #farscape

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you. The Phoenix

I may have to have pizza today. Strictly for health reasons.
