How can you not be romantic about Red Dead Redemption 2 and Arthur Morgan?

Baseball’s cool and stuff but I wish Jomboy would use his next-level lipreading skills to tell us what they said at the end of LOST IN TRANSLATION.

thursday plan: eight things (that seems like a reasonable number)

A bummer of a game to play with your own emotions is to figure out what movie Robin Williams made when he was your current age. I’m, like, Mrs. Doubtfire or something right now. But Good Will Hunting is fast approaching. And What Dreams May Come and shit.

GTA 6 having dual lead characters, a male and female couple, is predictably pissing off all the incels. But what if it accidentally functions as a sort of “What It’s Like To Have A Girlfriend” simulator for some of them, teaching some of them a few things & softening their hate about women?

Make your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title: In the 1930’s, a teacher could afford to travel and see the world.

Roy Kent is being totally mean to Pixley.

I don’t buy for one single second that Ted Lasso wouldn’t have been aware of Susan Boyle. He’s a well-established sucker for that kind of feel-good viral stuff like the videos that circulated of her on that tv show. And she absolutely went viral over here, not just in the UK.

@comictropes.bsky.social Been a follower of yours on YouTube for years. I hope it’s okay to ask about specific topics (I searched first & didn’t see a video). But I’m curious, have you ever done a deep dive into showing different ways artists have portrayed sign language in comics or graphic novels?

My friend @komakesthings.bsky.social’s muppet cabinet is finally done and it’s SO GOOD! She made these!

The Hasbro exec who greenlit replacing the old Taboo game buzzer with a squeaky squeeze toy? I hope they die penniless & alone, in physical pain & mental anguish. I hope their spouse leaves them & their children cut off contact. I hope their dog or cat runs away & finds a better class of human.

I really hope the little girl from the “lookit, lookit, it’s frickin bats, I love Halloween” viral video still loves Halloween

In 1980, for every million babies born, fewer than 100 got named Carson. By 2008, the name had exploded in popularity. 3000 in every million was now being named Carson. There’s a hockey prospect named Daxon Rudolph. I want Daxon to catch on & become what every trendy shithead names their kid.

My online order for two ounces of weed for only 18 bucks an ounce is ready for pickup from the dispensary a block from my house.

The music in this Starlink ad does sound like the music I could see someone on ketamine listening to.

I drew a picture for my little brother and his wife. Since he introduced me to Taskmaster & we have a group thread where the 3 of us live-text our reactions as we watch episodes, I gave them a Taskmaster seal with their initials instead of TM. They just got married. Their time starts now.

If you do so well at a Taskmaster task that you spontaneously celebrate with a superhero pose, I’m going to be smitten with you.

I want my tombstone to just say: “Tried to dance and wound up dead. Thank you, Kevin Bacon.”

I have a Hideous Skirt Convention to get to.

My family’s SURVIVOR group thread is now an Ozzy Hate Group according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

In WHITE MEN CAN’T JUMP, it’s such a plot point that Woody Harrelson won’t grow up and get a real job. But it’s treated as perfectly fine for his girlfriend to act as if her “studying foods that start with Q in case I’m ever on Jeopardy one day” is somehow a totally serious & grown-up career.

You know that thing when someone asks you to photograph their marriage proposal, so you show up with a 3-foot Christmas tree to hide behind plus a camo jacket to drape over yourself like a makeshift ghillie suit? Gotta be stealthy like a ninja. Unagi isn’t something you are; it’s something you have.

Don’t pretend to be happy for him, Joe Pantoliano

Something I’ll never get: Someone will make you watch Twilight movies with them. As a cute callback, you try greeting this person doing an impression of Jacob greeting Bella with, “Where the hell have ya been, Loca?” They don’t get the reference despite these movies meaning so much to them. 🤷‍♂️
