I thought I'd be funny and ask my dad "guess who shat on the kitchen floor last night" but he actually stopped and thought about it before answering "I HOPE it was the dog" so unfortunately he's funnier

When we talk about physical media, we are often only taking about personal collections but a big part of shunning the current digital ecosystem is supporting your local library. Not just for print books and periodicals but for movies, games and other medias too. Get. A. Library. Card.

While I understand that the somewhat popular notion that a lot of men who died in Vietnam whose bodies weren’t recovered were instead kept as POWs and are still alive or lived decades past the end of the war is bullshit, I like to believe there’s 1 American vet still alive in a bamboo cage now.

Batma Returns is a Christmas movie.
The Pitt start of the first episode: This guy is so cool. He's been through it and came out stronger. He is a center of calm in a storm of pain.
End of first episode: Oh no. He's very traumatized. He is trapped in the center of the storm of pain. This man needs therapy, ice cream, and a hug.

Over on Whatever, I'm doing a series on movies I consider "Comfort Watches" - not the greatest movies of all time, necessarily, but some of the most rewatchable. I'm starting the series with easily the most rewatchable movie of 2025: K-Pop Demon Hunters!

Shout out to all the single people traveling back to their hometown in the next day or two to visit their parents for the holiday.
Just do it. Text your high school ex. See if they want to go hit up the bar the night before Thanksgiving. What could go wrong.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.
