we watched Booksmart for a @chatzpod.bsky.social bonus episode yesterday and i've not stopped thinking about adapting The Hero's Journey for the teen party-jumping comedy
it fascinates me how even though these movies need to END at a party they also need to FEEL like a party with parties on the way

I haven’t had a personal laptop in like 10 years, so getting to finally break out the sticker collection for this one was really delightful

What’s the general take been on Kirby Air Riders after a weekend with it? I haven’t had a ton of time to play, but my first City Ride run brought me a feeling of warm inspiring nostalgia and hope that games can make me feel like they did as a kid again.

Recently YouTube has been determined to recommend me fan-made "clips of [Streamer] I have saved to my camera roll".
I will never understand why people would actually do this. Do people really keep like...Twitch clips saved to their camera roll? Am I missing a joke here?

My last cup of 2025, the first year of my Pokemon TCG career! Changes to Grimmsnarl were basically just adding consistency via Nest Ball and Iono, and the extra E. Switch makes Pecharunt ex a BEAST for closing out tight games. Need to practice it more next year, but happy to have gone out on a 2-3.

Long and tiring Monday, but fun! I got to tour the MBTA’s train and bus parts factory in Everett, and I need my afternoon with 3.1 miles around my favorite track in anticipation of a 5K this weekend…my feet hurt!

No correct aspect ratio upload to be found on YouTube, and I could be more rigorous about my editing, but I genuinely think this is some of the funniest 106 seconds in comedy history, and definitely in my top five Simpsons jokes.

Shonen training arc reaches a milestone! Last night I went 3-1-1 at a challenge with this Grimmsnarl list! Got top 8, prize packs, store credit, and 8 championship points 😭 I am really loving this consistent spread deck against the current meta, Grimmy boy gets the job done 💪🏼

We went to the Survivor fan cafe last night! They have two floors with a few games directly from the show, the whole menu is themed, and lots of photo ops. But pricey, but worth it for diehard fans or folks who want a unique date night

I got to speak on a panel last night about podcasting and business for @amaboston.bsky.social! I never thought this hobby would last ten years and that people would pay to hear me yap about it. So blessed to be where I’m at right now.

First time placing dead last at a challenge this Sunday with Raging Bolt. Was able to pull off a surprising tie against a slow player and misplay FIVE CONSECUTIVE turns against Eevee Box. I think I’m at 0 cp now 😄

Recently learned that if you took the canonical weight of every pokemon – all 1200ish, legendaries and ultrabeasts included – and combined it all into one total, it wouldn't even be enough to outweigh a moderately sized specimen of the heaviest REAL animal, the great Blue Whale
