Comic retailer, game retailer, Magic player, movie and book lover, person who takes everything 5% too seriously.
Too weird for the normies. Too normal for the weirdos. Always the wrong guy. Let's fucking go.
Sharing this whole thread because there's a bunch of good comments but also - Muppet Christmas Carol is still the best iteration of the story I've ever seen.
The only one that made me feel like Scrooge was starting to have a change of heart before the future ghost showed up.

Great movie.
I am SURROUNDED by people who have somehow never seen Muppet Christmas Carol and I am FIXING IT

Yes I posted about this movie last night, but I see no need to stop doing so :)
I mean this sincerely, Elle Fanning should be in the awards conversation for PREDATOR: BADLANDS.

Getting weird here. On this day of family celebration, which I love, it is important to say that family isn't just blood. It's who you love and who accepts you for who you are.

The weird thing is the best expression I have seen of that idea this year is a Predator movie. If you haven't, see it.

The amount of Ai ads I'm seeing during today's football games is reminiscent of the Crypto Superbowl.

I was at the ER the night before Thanksgiving/early hours of Thanksgiving last year with a family member, and we overheard two doctors call that block of time "The Night of the Mandolines" due to the sheer number of sharps injuries during meal prep.

Grek Pak nails it.
I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.

Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.

But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?

No.

I didn't even PLAY Clair Obscur, I watched a streamer play it, and this comment and the threads around it nail why it is an amazing story. Watching someone else play I was enthralled by the characters and story and the finale? WOOOF. That's brilliant stuff. I bought it just to support the studio!
Additional point: Clair Obscur's third act is a thematic loop about how delaying the inevitable isn't healthy. You may feel temporarily good, you might even feel like a God among ants, but all you're doing is becoming a rotting husk and running away from inevitability.
Seeing other narrative design people say that Clair Obscur had a bad 3rd act or bad ending(s)…I just can’t follow you there man. That shit ruled. Sorry. You break the combat wide fucking open and then get your choice of doing genocide or walking toward Omelas and saying “torturing that child rocks”

This is basically perfect. But the Dalai Lama doesn't rise to that position without being exceptionally wise.

Be kind. Love unconditionally. It's not necessarily easy. But it is simple.

Casual reminder that your brain is an asshole that does not have your best interests in mind. Tell it to fuck off on a regular basis.

"In their 40's" applies too. But also, I loved this movie so much. Such a delightfully batshit insane three hours, in all the good ways.

When part of of the movie Witness was filmed in my hometown of Intercourse, Pennsylvania, they made these shirts for the cast and crew because, in that area, my last name was as common as Jones. I assume it still is. Amish families weren't notable for their lack of offspring.

In my dive into late 19th century politics and seeing how the chambers of Congress behaved, largely to the better of all of governance, seeing this kind of rebuke soothes my soul.
we are returning to the state in which the framers intended for the legislature, in which the lower chamber and the upper chamber absolutely despise one another
The House has voted unanimously to repeal the provisions in the shutdown package which allow GOP Senators to sue the federal government and get as much as $1 million in damages - because the feds looked at their phone records in the Jan. 6 investigation.

Yeah this movie is my obsession right now.
"Welcome to the most dangerous planet in the universe where everything is trying to kill you"

That is life. Everything else wants you dead. Your choice to live confounds expectations.

I see people on local FB groups posting about wellness and meditation nights and I am like...

Have any of you watched Badlands? Are you engaging with art or just your own ego?

Ego will fail you. Be you.

I don't know who this dude is. I don't care.

If you're under 18 you cannot legally give consent. If you're having sex with someone under 18 you're committing rape. It is black and white.

Fuck this equivocation. This isn't difficult for anyone with a brain and a soul.

Spent the fall of 1993 at my first store before it closed fielding calls for Magic and having no idea what they were talking about.
Jan of 1994 walk into another local store. Buy a revised starter deck with a friend to play a game.
Get my face smashed by a Force of Nature and have been hooked since.
What's the lore behind you getting into @magic.wizards.com?

I use the word failure regularly. And I find many people recoil and I have to explain further.
Failure isn't inherently good or bad. It is an observation. It is a learning opportunity.
You can be successful but also still fail. Just dodge the critical failures and learn from the smaller ones.

The Fisher King is the best kind of emotional gut punch to this day.
Without saying The Birdcage, fav Robin Williams film?
