Fellas, what's stopping you from going on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days setting out to find the shark that ate your friend and destroy it?
Red alert, boys. WSJ says it’s time to start dressing like Steve Zissou.

Today is Small Business Saturday! So remember, if you're pulling a heist today, make sure it's from a big business/federally insured bank and not a mom and pop shop/credit union. They got all that fat black friday money in their safes. If it's too late now, maybe next year!

I love all of the references to famous Benoit Blanc cases that we have never seen and never will.
More Benoit Blanc mysteries that we do see, please and thank you Mister @rianjohnson.bsky.social

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

There's a spread in G.I. Joe this week that is very much a "oh fuck yes, that is some good comic book shit"
Also, "two dudes who hate each other begrudgingly forced into a team-up to survive" is a fun plot to me so Duke and Cobra Commander in those roles is enjoyable.
Dreadnok War, good stuff.

I've been rereading the Parker books and fuck, those are some delightfully grim reads.
Parker is one of the greatest characters in series fiction that I can think of and he's a bastard. Just a real son of a bitch.
Aside -Marky Mark and Statham have both played Parker and neither one got it right

"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it"
My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

My thoughts on the new Running Man are complex. Also there's the fact that I've only read the book and not seen the Arnold flick, I feel like I'm missing part of the equation.
Some great action sequences, maybe my least favorite Edgar Wright flick as a whole? That's a list I gotta make.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

After family stuff is done, I like to go watch a movie on Christmas (sometimes solo, sometimes with family, preferably with friends) and this year looks like it's gonna be a Christmas with Marty Supreme.

Iron Man - not a Top 5 Marvel character for me, probably not even a Top 10, yet also somehow absolutely one of my favorite Marvel characters to buy toys of. There are a surprising amount of them in the office/around here. Cannot entirely explain why.

I don't know, after this weekend and the no-getting-around-it way the President is starving people, all this will-they-won't-they cave stuff feels like an attempt to go into tomorrow saying "We tried, but the Republicans said no" making the whole week REPUBLICANS STARVE POOR TO PROTECT EPSTEIN FILES
