I’m starting to think this new Fire Emblem isn’t for me, but I paid seventy earth dollars for it so I have no choice but to persist

Doing the French "hon hon hon" laugh, but like ZZ Top singing "a-how-how-how" in "La Grange". Try it. It's fun.

No more watching Star Trek on PlutoTV until after the election. I am way past my limit on garbage political ads

I'm gonna need a moratorium on movies set in the 1980s and 1990s until we can figure out how to make them without putting in wholly unnecessary needle drops every five minutes.

The real trolley problem is that we don’t sufficiently fund public transit. Give it the money it needs so we can serve and / or kill the general public!

i like when the whistle at the train yard blows in the middle of the night, because it's like it's telling me my shift of hanging out on the couch watching tv with the cat is over, time for me to go to bed

30 years after Runza yelled at LPS to stop calling their runzas Bunzas, prompting the appearance of "Nebraska Bun" in school lunches, Runza have put the Bunza name to work with this horrible looking monstrosity. #nebraskahistory

One of the greatest lines in Star Trek

"Oh, Doctor, no harm done." "They broke 7 of your transverse ribs and your clavicle." "Yes, but I got off SEVERAL cutting remarks that will stay with THEM for a lifetime." God I fucking love you, Garak

Me reading James Robinson's Starman: "Gee I really enjoy this Ralph and Sue Dibny, they're such fun and enjoyable characters. I hope nothing bad ever happens to them in the future."

Barred from joining company karaoke nights in the future for singing George Michael's "Father Figure" because it was "too unsubtle" and vocalizing like Jim Morrison was "too much"

If the person in the law firm commercial isn't wearing ridiculous statement glasses, is it really a law firm you want to employ?

My last Kansas City recommendation for this trip: Town-Topic Hamburgers. A diner that's been open for almost 90 years and was the dining highlight of the trip. The Subaru Microvan parked in front isn't related, I just thought it was fuckin sick

I took a selfie with the AT&T Long Lines building in Kansas City, to add to my Long Lines collection

I stopped playing ESO about a while back because of the poor Mac support, so this is gonna bring me back in

Doing 90s themed bar trivia with a group of co-workers who are all 30 and under and they all just stared at me like i was an oracle the whole time

In hindsight my coworkers probably think I have some real 'tism going on, I probably shouldn't have quietly corrected the triviamaster that the Bondi Blue iMac G3 predated the fruit colored iMacs during the 90s tech round.

Anyway "Man In the Box" was one of the clues during the music round and now I'm listening to Alice In Chains again and damn if they weren't a great band

The downside to running a feed that tracks posts about Lincoln Nebraska is the past 24 hours i have seen a ton of posts like this and have to strongly fight the urge to reply to every single one of them with “the people at the rally wouldn’t give a shit because they hate Lincoln and Omaha too”

The hotel tv doesn't have Turner Classic Movies OR a Storage Wars marathon so my evening is pretty much shot

Watching The Big Sleep now and yep, I get it

Here to tell you that the chemistry and tension in this scene still hits for 2026 teenagers, as evidenced by the very vocal reactions of my students today

occasionally a student asks how some canonical book can possibly apply to their own life and moving forward i’ll refer them to the moment in Ulysses where bloom wants to leave a restaurant without eating there so he pretends to look around and realize he’s in the wrong place instead of just leaving
