Dad, hobbit, software engineer. Used to make video games. Kind of quiet and private. Following me won't be all that rewarding.

Team Orca.
Thanks for everything, Harris Yulin, and Godspeed.

He was so good in so many roles, but the one that really sticks with me is

It'd be so nice to get out of the first inning without giving up multiple runs. Just, like, one goddamn time.

Feeling action-star badass because I swung the fridge door to close it and walked away not quite sure that I'd given it enough of a shove, and then it snicked closed and I didn't turn around to look.

I rewatched season one of Andor to get caught up for season two, and I'd forgotten just how great it was.

Started season two last night and what the hell happened to this show? The tone is all over the place, the pace is sluggish, and none of the scenes have any heft.

Fact is, bustin' DOESN'T make me feel good. Ghosts are sad confused creatures, cruelly tied to this plane by a powerful nexus of pain and fury. It gives me no pleasure to hunt them, shoot them with beams, and trap them in a box. I hope they find some peace in there. But TBH, no one really knows.

It would be scary to have any human being secretly living in your home, noticing food disappearing, hearing sounds from the attic only to find shadows, movement in the walls, that sort of thing, but it would be even scarier if it was Judi Dench because the police probably wouldn’t even believe you

Two swords, a stick
A couple sai
Some nunchuck tricks

I got my measles immunity checked and Doc didn't like the numbers so I'm getting it topped up.

I got whatever babies got back then when their parents had health insurance and did as their doctors suggested.

If, like me, you're old enough to remember Carter's presidency, maybe get yours checked.

I've seen where they buried Reagan. He's safely in the ground and can't hurt anyone anymore. If it's useful today to use him as a stick with which to beat today's monsters, I think I'm okay with that.

Did something big change at #SNL recently? Last night's episode had a totally different energy. Wilder and weirder than usual. It's like they added a dash of Tim Robinson to the usual recipe.

A good day to remember that only Joe Biden had the determination to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan. Three successive predecessors weren't willing to take that hit. Barack Obama got rolled by his military advisors. Trump didn't have the guts to do it either. Biden ended it.

It's pretty gross that the mayor of NYC wanted to pose for photos with Mangione.

Is this a "what color is the dress" thing? To my ear, Chenoweth very clearly sings "poise" and not "ploys", in both the OCR and in live clips I've seen. It's also a cleaner rhyme to "boys" and follows more naturally from "proper."

Ploys sounds like a mondegreen that caught on with later performers.
