Bringing back Limewire to illegally rip copies of reporting suppressed by the government is definitely some cyberpunk shit

Every Christmas season, I remember the moment in Home Alone when Marv is hit by a falling iron. This iron takes 6 seconds to fall. Accelerating at 9.8 m/s², that means it fell 580 feet--almost half the height of the Empire State Building--and hit Marv going 130 miles per hour.

The universe has 4 days to give us all the greatest Christmas present we've ever received or will ever receive.

ME: God, this year has been busy. So glad to finally have a couple of weeks off.
COVID: A couple of weeks off, you say? Fascinating....

More of this kind of rich person, please.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

One of the ways you can tell America is stronger than ever is that it’s almost Christmas and all anyone is talking about is a heavily redacted set of documents about sex monsters

My understanding from Bluesky's reporting is that the only person ever named in the Epstein files is Epstein?

My first goal is to outlive everyone who would ever like Donald Trump. My secondary goal is to live a life that would have inspired him to write a post about my death like the one he did about Rob Reiner.

A year after moving to a place where I know almost no one, I'm still figuring out ways to be social. But this morning, I joined up with my amazing group of folks who help give out food and clothes to unhoused folks, and tonight I went to a drag shadow cast of Elf. I'd call that real, solid progress.

Whenever a thread goes around about movies you've watched 6 times or whatever, I wonder how people can pick just one. I can think of three I've rewatched in the last two weeks. Go back to Halloween, it jumps to five or six. My list would never end!

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

There are a lot of things you'll never know about owning a house until you actually do. TIL, if you replace an oil furnace with a heat pump, the more powerful fan will blow the stuff that's settled in your ducts over the years up through the floor vents, including A PILE OF LONG-DEAD BUGS.

I rewatched Aliens recently and subjected multiple people to my takes about how good it is. But what I didn't really get into with any of them is how visceral all of the goop is. It's so fucking goopy in a way that you just can't recreate with fake computer goop.

Found out tonight that Short Circuit 2 is on YouTube. Started it expecting to find that the movie I loved as a kid is worse than the original, which already didn't hold up. Halfway through, it's already way better than I remember, and Bonnie Tyler hasn't even entered the picture.
