"Hey Homer, what'd you do, get a haircut or somethin'?"
"LOOK CLOSER, LENNY."
"Ohhh, I know what it is. You're the biggest man in the world now. Aaaand you're covered in gold!"

Had a dream that they made a batman movie where batman kept asking robin "Chat, are we cooked? Chat, are we cooked?" during every single fight scene

Really solid stuff, tbh the pictures don't do it justice!

Only ever done a dry brine once before, and I messed it up by overdoing the salt (it was already marinated in soy sauce). I'm 100% trying this out on a ribeye next time. I bet the crust would be bonkers if I charcoal grilled this

Just made the best fajitas of my life. Thawed an old frozen New York strip overnight in a Modelo, took it out in the morning and dry-brined it all day with flake salt and steak rub, then cooked it whole in the cast-iron that I cooked the onion and bell-pepper in first. Stupidly tender

"Yamcha" rhymes with "mama" so much better, I'm sorry everyone

I think about how he compares it to the art of Hieronymus Bosch so often. Why did he say that

You've just discovered a new barbecue youtuber whose recipes you like, and now you begin the process of looking at his videos with a magnifying glass to find out if he's a weird fascist or not

If we were mutuals at the other place and I haven’t followed you back here, just let me know. For better or worse, once you’re in the club you’re in the club

The hit/miss ratio for "is this place any good?" in regards to marijuana-themed sandwich shops is, in my personal experience, extremely good

I try to movie post regularly on here, but one of the turn-offs about this website is just how much of it is nonstop political outrage and nothing else. The balance is off, but I guess the only way out is through

Realizing my screenplay is Dark Woke and choosing to lean into it

It's good that King of the Hill recast Khan, but I also feel strongly that Ted Wassanasong should've kept a white voice. His entire character hinges on how he forces himself to talk like a white guy

Looking around my walls, it's surprising to me how much Drew Struzan's art I have hanging. Really just a monolithic artist. It makes me sad to see how many future Struzans are being strangled in the crib by companies who would rather use AI to make cheap shitty approximations

when I was like 12 I went to the California science center which had a "drunk driving simulator" educational arcade type game and if you were too good at it the game would automatically crash the car after a while so you didnt undermine their message

I completely forgot that Michael Shannon's character motivation in Knives Out was that he resented his father for not letting him license out his murder mystery stories to Netflix

Daniel Gallegos @beanwalrus.bsky.social · 2d

It would've been so easy to either make the show performatively woke or to make it boomer pronoun humor. But it's kinda about how we don't live in the post-scarcity of the early 2000s anymore because corporate homogeny has ruined society, but good people are still good people

Daniel Gallegos @beanwalrus.bsky.social · 2d

Something really weirdly profound about the king of the hill revival being about hank and peggy coming back to America to find that everything sucks now and everybody has lost their minds, but also that people are more aware of inclusivity and that's a good change

(It's a good episode, but it's weird that they waited until the very end of the series to do anything with Hank's mother, and even weirder that it airs after the obvious finale)

Daniel Gallegos @beanwalrus.bsky.social · 3d

To Sirloin With Love wraps up the central conflict of the show by giving Bobby and Hank something to bond over, ends with an orchestral version of the theme song over a montage of everyone in the neighborhood enjoying a barbecue. The following episode is "Hank's mom buys an RV"

Finally made it to the finale of OG king of the hill, and it's a beautiful, quiet, but sweet end to the series. Unfortunately, there's somehow like four episodes after it
