a good start, but can the critics' critics be evaluated in a similar way, to properly weight their influence on critic scores? This in turn could be regulated by a Metacritic-style Critic Critic Critic score, and so on until review scores become objective via the principle of Using Enough Numbers

quick question: when an internet personality posts a multi-tweet thread defending himself from criticism, and it's completely impossible to tell from the response what the criticism was or what subject it pertained to, does that usually mean he was in the right

oh, yeah, I remember her. Always in the blood-stained uniform and little hat with a red cross on it, carrying around a giant syringe and beating people to death with it in a 1997 BDSM-themed fighting game that only came out on the Saturn. Three different finishing moves, all called Kiss of Death

today's thing I've learned is that the original Metroid 2 is actually pretty great. i dunno why i had it in my head that it was so technically limited as to be unplayable these days but i'm having great fun with it.
boy, the music sucks ass though.

Look, I think we can all agree that whatever Adams said and did later in life, it should be acknowledged that "Dilbert" is a pretty funny name for a fella. Great fun to say. He got that bit right. Dilbert. Diiillbrrt. Dllbt. dilbertdilbertdilbrt

One last piece of shit news for the year - today we had to say goodbye to Lily after a sudden illness.
Our lady of perpetual recumbence, ever-vigilant sentinel of The Box. Doubtless now restlessly walking back and forth across the lap of God, obliviously treading 'pon the nuts of Christ.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
