- Abolish nerds who think every uncanny element of a story needs to have an explanation.
[Not loaded yet]- It’s so interesting to see the way some people want such starkly different things out of a work of fiction than I do and how they are usually wrong about it lol
- Watching a video about “the unanswered questions of FROM” and dude is like “we need an explanation of how electricity works in the town besides just magic” fuck off no we don’t.

- So cartoonishly supervillainy it almost feels inevitable at this point.
- Me: “I’m gonna go to the gym and then do a bunch of writing.” Chronic migraines: “Like hell you are.”
- Week End La Jetée Last Year at Marienbad Duelle L'Intrus Coma Irma Vep Orpheus Holy Motors Le Bonheur (Made a point not to repeat directors because it would have been all Rivette, Godard and Denis otherwise.)

- I went on @leftoftheprojector.com to ramble incoherently about Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me if you’re into that kind of thing open.spotify.com/episode/4CXd...
- This book is extremely good.
- Retweeting to remind myself that I might want to do this

- Currently reading “Monarch” by Candice Wuehle and the internet keeps comparing it to Stranger Things (and I understand why I guess) and I am just imagining some Stranger Things nerd picking it up and reading several paragraphs about the origin of suntanning within the first few pages.

- Oh hell yeah
- Plot twist: The people in question were never cool.
- Bluesky is great someone with a pfp of Kevin James with huge naturals just reposted a pic of my dog

- One problem with being named Mon Mothma is it sounds like everyone’s calling you mom
- Other than that I actually can’t really think of any other problems
- I was about to say “constantly being mistaken for the Mothman” but that’s not really a negative.
- “Fight and Deliver” is a hilarious name for a political party, it sounds like an independent wrestling event that would stream on the High Spots Network.
- I didn’t watch the Carney/Trump meeting, did Carney clarify what he meant by “owners of Canada”? Because that’s a wild phrase.
- My five unit apartment building has three large green bins for curbside compost collection and in the past week someone in my building has decided to fill all three with garbage bags and I’m ready to go Martin Luther on everyone’s apartment door.
- If I’ve never seen you post about the importance of safe consumption sites I do not want to see you post about seeing a needle on the ground.
- I am half way through season 6 of my latest LOST rewatch and my only complaint is that Miles keeps saying “jobonie” instead of “jabronie.”
- This is two global elections in ONE WEEK where the conservative candidate trying to become prime minister not only led his party to a big loss but lost their own seat in parliament (!) in huge upsets. We are global pariahs unseen since the end of the Cold War and need stronger domestic opposition.
- Relevant: bsky.app/profile/youc...
- Especially worth noting that the Communists were looking poised to win the first elections post Soviet collapse and Clinton decided that was unacceptable and actively interfered in the Russian elections.
- One of the most impressive technological achievements of the Instagram algorithm is its ability to show me time sensitive posts that I am very interested in (info about events, etc.) hours or days or sometimes even weeks after they take place.
