New additions to my birthday body count. In years past, the only person of note to have died on my birthday was Vincent Price. Now I can add Chekov and Bugs Bunny...

Been kinda quiet cuz I have too much going on! ALL the current political/cultural/economic stuff, pest infestation, injured on the job, family crises, cat missing, impending holiday anxiety...and more! I doubt even friends see my feeds anymore, but I'm just waiting to thru survive year's end...

I kinda can't help but agree that it's more ethical to bootleg a human artist's work because it at least potentially draws some attention/business to that human artist. Whether it be through some reverse image search or word spreading of the artist suing the bootlegger.

The Internet Archive has a museum for the weirdest art of the early web. 🖼️ It’s called GifCities. Thousands of animated GIFs rescued from the first wave of the web. Glitter. Dancing. Cats. Strange little loops that survived. 💾 Go find your perfect retro GIF 👉 gifcities.org #ToolsYouCanUse

Happy to watch the officially sanctioned, reality show formatted docuseries "The Center Seat II" on the Star Trek next gen movies... But I am DISGUSTED by the omission of James Marsters originally being cast as Shinzon. Even just a mention would've been appropriate.

I kinda wish they'd revive a game show like "Win Ben Stein's Money". Of course not with Ben Stein, but I like the concept of a famous smarty who not only hosts the show, but has to compete for the prize money. I guess the key is finding the ideal host that's book-smart, relevant, and fun to watch.

Haim Saban and Avi Arad were going to do a KISS Christmas special. Just as they were about to nail down negotiations, Haim told Avi “now we gut him” in Hebrew. Gene Simmons spoke Hebrew, and said “You asshole, I’m one of you.” Needless to say, the special did not happen.

You wanna know what I wanna see in the few episodes of Strange New Worlds we have left? Some mention of Welshy. We've had a good couple Doctor Who references... Give us a tiny nod to make Welshy canon.

I really hope this is some cosmic balance thing. Like the grim reaper is gonna tell us, "I know! I know! I had to take them... Cuz then you're gonna love who I take next." Fast forward to "Breaking news from the White House..."

God fucking damnit... 40 years ago, I watched Prime die in a movie theater. Go figure on this anniversary, I see it happen again one last time.

RIP Dolly Parton. What a ray of sunshine you were!

It's been ten years. I remember it like it was yesterday. My kid has reached double digits! Her life's reached a new metric, no longer limited by years, but by decades! I'm so proud of Natasha and how she's grown. Happy birthday, my wee one... I love you!

Amazing clip of @ naito_edgar MVC2 Character Select sidewalk mural! 😍👏 www.atom.bio/naitoreido0

My kid, like most, watch YouTube mostly via Shorts rather than long-form videos and I think I finally get why... Shorts doesn't play ads. YouTube has increased the length and frequency of their ads and nothing kills our desire to watch faster than the interrupting ads. So I hate it, but I get it.

I'm always seeing comparisons between Amazing Digital Circus and I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream... But the more I look and think about it, to me TADC is way more like The Breakfast Club for Gen Z.

I'd love to talk with a seasoned expert on consumer-level printers. I'd have SO MANY questions. Like, for decades, all my home printers, when turned on or restarted will spend 5-10min doing...SOMETHING. Then when I task it with printing a doc, it will do...NOTHING. Takes 3 tries to print anything.

Gen X got absorbed into either Boomers or Millennials depending on whether we understood what machine we were supposed to be raging against.

Physical media was our best hope for getting people to even see the damn thing.

Talking Simpsons is eleven years old today. if we were The Simpsons, Maude Flanders would be dead

My recent emojis tell the story of Hokuto no Ken

I actually still have a couple copies of our fanzine. An old friend thankfully found them in his possession and sent them to me.

I finally have it! So grateful to be a part of it and the generous pages of ink given to my name. (Only gonna share the art page here.) Gonna blaze through this over the weekend.

In dark times it is easy to become overwhelmed, to feel helpless. That is what your enemies want. Defy them. Deny them this, and let that be your first step toward denying them victory, and then seizing it yourself.

I was wrong! They answered a lot of questions and stuck the landing!

Good on 'em!

I successfully recreated the dish "ram-don" from the movie, Parasite. It didn't taste the way I thought it would, but my family and I still enjoyed it. Used sirloin, but I hope I can afford to use ribeye next time. This tutorial was a big help: youtu.be/ZsTXzO-tk8M?...

The next time a director says bullshit like this, I want the interviewer to ask: "If AI was around when you made your other films, which artists would you have fired?" I mean it. Name real fucking names. Of all the brilliant people you worked with, who do you think doesn't deserve a job anymore?

@comtar.bsky.social and I quote this clip frequently; whether together or within our own lives.

I can see this and @rikergoogling.bsky.social and wanna bring those hands together.

For decades, Wilford Brimley brought awareness of diabetes, just by how he'd pronounce the word. If we wanna reignite that fire, we need someone with a thick Irish accent. "Doi-yah-byee-tess."

A list of "100 best books" that doesn't have any Pratchett is empirically not a list of 100 best books. Follow for more hard literary truths.

I do quote this on occasion.
