damn alright I'll be cautious, settle

Photo of a wide small public stairway. The middle section is blocked off with a comically excessive amount of caution tape and rubber bollards.

talked at an Oakland bar with a drunk guy who wanted to spend 4 months of the year away from his nearly taxless inherited house so he could pay less income tax, and I think I might now be a Maoist

oh, to be a grim-faced coot leering at the latest pack of youngsters coming to The Murder Spot and giving cryptic warnings

watching. I'm going right back into the "probably isn't good based on reviews" trial chamber, but with the hope of Tony Todd's beautiful voice to carry me through

Movie poster for "West of Hell" (2018). Faces of Tony Todd and some white dudes in cowboy hats and old western garb float above a mist-shrouded locomotive.

watched, needed way more reptiles per minute

Movie poster for "The Reptile" (1966). Multiple illustrations of a reptile-faced humanoid baring its fangs and menacing people.

This is so cool. Zohran Mamdani just released the 2026 NYC Dev Roadmap and he's updating Williamsburg with not one but TWO new 20-man raids with their own endgame armor sets and weapons

watched. turns out the Price is always right 😎

Movie poster for "Madhouse" (1974). Overlapping figures on a black background: Vincent Price with skull makeup, a screaming woman, a man holding a candelabra, a skull with a spider crawling over it, a creepy mansion.

since we started watching Mobile Suit Gundam, like 75% of anime watch club discussion with my buddy is us guessing what Japanese cultural consensus was in 1979 about WW2 history

watching, but the opening trying to get laughs off such fresh targets as Instagram-oriented marriage proposals is not making me optimistic

Movie poster for "Heart Eyes" (2025). A red-lit leather mask with hearts for eyes looms out of the darkness. Tagline: "Romance is dead."

casual speedrunning is surprisingly fun. I'm replaying Silksong, not trying to set a world record, but it's cool rerouting from what's "optimal" to give me tools I need.

Cogwork Dancers is my benchmark, took me 3+ hrs on first attempt, now cleared in 1 hr 30 (actual pros clear them in like 34 min)

assembling the correct pantheon of tunes, obscure enough that I might become Cool

watching, I hope it can live up to its poster

Movie poster for "The Long Hair of Death" (1964). Illustration of a naked, skull-faced woman with billowing white hair, standing behind a fiery that conveniently obscures her intimate areas.

the poor screenwriter for bottom-basement retro arcade IP like Joust when Hollywood starts pillaging old video games.

banging on the keyboard like

EXT. LAVA FIELD - DAY
Black crags of rock amidst magma. An OSTRICH FOOT enters the frame.

SIR NIC CAGE
Whoa, there.

food will taste better, the air will smell sweeter. i'll wave and call out to my neighbors and they'll laugh and wave back

if a friend worked into a joke somebody posting as "Raw Egg Nationalist" I would ask them how they came up with something that fucking funny

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 4d

going by the decor, is this not TGI Fridays?

Someone on Twitter posted a photo of themselves doing a happy dance as they receive a hot plate of fajitas. Then "Raw Egg Nationalist" on Twitter retweets them, writing: It's incredible that these people exist, but they really do. These are the people who justify the demographic replacement of Western countries in terms of the variety of street food and how many different kinds of fried-meat-and-vegetables in flatbread they can buy.

people try to make me feel bad about this sentiment. "let people like the things they want!" no. I want the movies I don't like to fail, so that in the future, the money that would have been spent making bad movies might go to good movies I like instead

Tart Attack @tartattack.bsky.social · 5d

please do not put generic "yikes, are you even trying??" quips in your frustrationcore Foddy-like

an insult without specifity has no bite

Getting Over It worked because of its serene philosophical perch

want the player to feel it? figure out how to HURT THEM like you were personally watching!
