I finally gave in to the long-time requests and put up a tip jar.

I've been looking for a new job since summer, but recent signal is that that's more urgent. 💀

That and several Very Large bills on my head and the ongoing uncertainty with the house: anything helps for stability.

Pro wrestling will never truly heal until Toru Yano comes to AEW to put Jon Moxley back in his place. 🤼

Muted 56 Stranger Things-related keywords just now, because I'd like to watch pro wrestling at 8 tonight like a normal person and people are awful.

(And yes, if you don't mute this 🤼, I spoil some wrestling things, but that's one character, not the names of 56 people/things/creative people.)

Fucking around on guitar some more, and I accidentally did a Lush (just that opening progression, but it's a start).

Names I would've considered for the C2 instead of Mox and Darby (because I don't care who wants to see Mox and Darby, since I don't):

Ace Austin
AR Fox
The Beast Mortos
Bobby Lashley
Shelton Benjamin
Eddie Kingston
Hechicero
Tommy Billington
Adam Priest

Our current electric kettle (our third; we've had 2 of the Cuisinarts die on us in 10 years, but we are HEAVY users) is a KitchenAid. We're still deciding on how we feel about the design, but it makes such a pleasant "Bong!" noise when your water is at the right temperature that we've named it Bong.

I do wonder how many false positives I have when deciding to block an account that likes a single one of my posts for looking abundantly sus.

It's not behavior I'm going to change any time soon, but I do wonder.

A set-in-1985, production design meticulously adhering to the George Pérez aesthetic live action Crisis on Infinite Earth as a 1985 period piece that follows the story really closely, give or take a few continuity gaffes being smoothed out (the scarab, etc.). Make it as long as it needs to be.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

That moment when you turn on delay effects on a guitar, and realize that you can just sit in your house and play the main guitar line to The Church's "Reptile" for like the rest of your fuckin' life.

Thing I didn't realize until late in life, being a person who is slow to acknowledge and address their own discomfort: changing your socks during the day, if your feet feel cold for whatever reason, is a fucking boss move.

Night Flight Plus is showing Blood for Dracula (10 PM Eastern) and Flesh for Frankenstein (11:47 PM Eastern) tonight, for people interested in communal viewing.

I just remembered the time I saw Wesley Willis, and he said "Arnold Schwarzenegger can suck my dick" a bunch of times. We miss you, Wesley.

Rock over London...Rock on, Chicago...Massengil...it's a name you can trust.

I hope AEW streams that C2 selection show somewhere other than the Nazi bar. 🤼

My Star Wars hot take is probably best saved for my next shrink, because it's bleak as shit and doesn't have much to do with Star Wars.

Inside me are two wolves, the one that wants to do my own list of 100 movies that are actually funny, and the one that thinks most of the reviewers at the Penske trades are fucking hacks and unworthy of the effort.

I hope I never stop thinking "So what if I am?" when I see the words "Empty Trash".
