Words, both recreationally and professionally. Video games/comics/giant robots nerd, with a side of yelling about sports. Largely boring.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

Me with the cult in Ithaca that made the best damn waffles on the East Coast
They took three hours to deliver your food, but it was cheap as fuck, always arrived hot and fresh, would deliver to a wild range out, and was the best fried chicken I've ever had. Russian mafia money laundry, but goddamn was it good food

I will go to my grave screaming about how Pennywise being a clown hits completely different for anyone under 40 or 50, because the original intent was that Pennywise LOOKED HARMLESS, because “IT” predates scary clowns, & if the story were modern, Pennywise would manifest as a ninja turtle or Luffy

rip gainax, you ended in a weird convoluted way that pissed a lot of people off
Hideaki Anno just announced via the khara website that Gainax is officially dead and gone as a corporate entity as of December 10th: www.khara.co.jp/2025/12/11/2...
「株式会社ガイナックス」について
2025年12月10日の官報掲載にありますように、アニメーション制作スタジオだった「株式会社ガイナックス」の破産整理が終わり、法人として消滅し、その42年弱の歴史を終えました。 創設期から20年以上籍を置き、今日まで株主として関わっていたものとして誠に残念な最後ですが、静かに受け止めています。 まず、2019年、当時の代表取締役社長巻智博氏の逮捕を受け、弊社と共にガイナックス社の再建、後に整...

Without safe C-sections both my mother and I would have died in the delivery room. And because of the emergency situation she had the operation WITHOUT ANAESTHESIA, which means she automatically wins every argument we will ever have.
if you've had or looking at having a c-section, please know that you are just as strong and brave as someone who had a different kind of birth experience. you didn't cheat. you didn't do it the "unnatural" way, anymore than taking ibuprofen for a migraine or x-raying a broken arm is unnatural

Since I've been thinking about Kill Bill pretty much constantly since watching TWBA: Dismissing it as a Western Lady Snowblood is insulting to both movies, because it flattens LS into a generic female-led revenge story rather than acknowledging what makes it, and Meiko Kaji's performance, so great.
Friends, #weebwednesday is upon us once again! You know the drill - quote-post with your weebiest hot takes, nothing racist, nothing intentionally inflammatory, have fun with it ♥

Gonzo's delivery of the single greatest line in film history is made infinitely better once you realise it is an EXACT rendering of Charles Dickens' own emphasis in the original story.

I assume this is how he got cast in CARRY-ON
Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

And, as another reminder, when I buy PACER documents, I make them available to anyone through @free.law's RECAP extension, which then makes them available to all at CourtListener.
PACER itself should be free, but, until it is, everyone who can use RECAP to help make docs accessible should do so.

My big takeaway from the unified Kill Bill is that I have an answer to "what's your low-stakes conspiracy theory" and it's Weinstein cutting the movie in two in order to get revenge on Uma Thurman by kneecapping an Oscar-worthy performance.
