Speaking only for myself, I don't mind it, just because Bluesky is still a smaller, quieter place than Twitter used to be so I don't have a big signal-to-noise ratio problem to manage on my timeline.

I've got the theme from St. Elmo's Fire stuck in my head and playing it over and over in Clone Hero isn't getting it out for some reason, but I'm-a keep trying.

Also some Legend of Zelda Wind Waker.

The best one opened saying he had both autism and prostate cancer, and he said, "funny thing is, when you tell people you have prostate cancer, they never say, 'oh, me too! I mean, I don't have a diagnosis, but I just know, you know?'"

I went to an open mic night a while ago, and something like 3/4 of the sets started with the comic saying they had autism.

"So every female character will be defined by wanting to fuck the male lead, who I will play." I don't think you get away with that if you're one iota less talented than Lin Manuel Miranda.

There's a typo in that headline. "Re" elected would imply that they were elected the first time.

The musical, the man, or both?

So I read an article about a certain plot point and, boy, unless the article writer was just plain making shit up, it's one of those things that's just baffling that multiple people had to greenlight it and not one of them said, "wait, this is fucking stupid."

Oh sure, and I don't begrudge you mocking people who deserve it, I just like my thought experiment more. (:

I could see him agreeing without fully understanding what he was agreeing to, backing out at the last minute, and then having a wacky road trip across the Middle East when they wouldn't pay for his flight back.

That's not a political platform, it's a protection racket.

The broad premise "mostly the same people behind the last few Star Treks are making another Star Trek" hasn't appealed to me in a while either.

This is why I can never use anything else after the 8bitdo Pro 2: because it has a goddamn physical toggle to change from Xinput to Dinput to Switch mode and I will never go back to memorizing stupid button combinations.

"Imagine I wasn't a wifebeater / It's easy if you try"? Not sure it's relevant to the situation.

Oh boy, a word I've only heard one other place so as soon as I hear it my mind plays back the whole scene word for word! youtu.be/-hNYkCRJlwk?...

I always imagine it in the style of a Ryan George pitch meeting.

"You're sure this scene is entirely necessary?"

"I don't know what to tell you, sir. It's the only way to bring the group back together, that's how the magic works."

"But you decide how the magic works."

"I do, yes."

Enlightened self-interest, tbh. The hatemongers of the world never stop with one group. I don't wanna be the guy at the end of the Martin Niemöller poem.
