There is maybe one person more qualified that I am to tell you what a good Fantastic Four movie looks like, and Jack Kirby has been dead for 30 years. Anyway, that's a very good Fantastic Four movie. Great even!

Why is Pauline a rock, and then not a rock? What is "bananergy"? Why is there sky underground? Why did the useless sculpting minigame get a chunk of time during this reveal? This Donkey Kong is confusing.

I don't know anything about Sleep Token and I do not care, but metal has always been cheesy and implying that it had dignity, or that it needs intellectualizing or defense from the kinds of people who write for Pitchfork is goofier than whatever this band does.

Everyone is so puzzled about why Kristi Noem was carrying around $3k in cash when her purse was stolen, even though the answer is obvious: She wasn't. She has theft insurance and is committing low-level insurance fraud and that's the most she can claim without documentation. They're all just crooks.

Told my wife the other day how much I hate Gen Z slang, went through examples like "cooked," "it's giving..." etc. She responds "Well, it's not as stupid as..."
That's my point! It's not that stupid! What is even the point of having slang if you're going to say boring-ass shit like "we're cooked"?!

Played that AI Quake 2 demo. It's transparently very bad and not worth messing with... So what are we doing? Not impressed that it got trained on Q2 data and sort of remembers level 1 but not always and is like playing a slideshow. Am I supposed to be impressed that it can poorly render a 3D space?

my wife was fired this week from her job at a major local nonprofit hospital because Trump/Musk are strangling it to death
while my cousin (a veteran nurse at the Alaska VA who helps other veterans all day) texts me to say she's likely being fired while her union gets dissolved

An absolute atrocity. Everyone involved with this should be charged with crimes against humanity.

The reason I know big tech has become a morass of rudderless managers who can't find a good idea in a bucket labeled "good ideas" is that nobody thought to make Android's ringer status part of its always-on display.

On one hand, I like Jalen Hurts. On the other, I love watching people getting ass mad about a sports team winning too much. It's a win-win for me.
I'm probably not watching it.

The funniest thing about the Luka trade is the Mavs front office making the big assumption that Kyrie isn't about to check out on them like he did on the Nets.

I always say my favorite Dylan song is on a bad Dylan album. And I'm talking about Changing of the Guards off Street Legal. Might be getting old, but I don't think that anymore. The album has a couple duds, like Baby Stop Crying, but songs like Señor and Where Are You Tonight? are absolute bangers.

The President is asking rhetorical questions about what federal government aircraft was doing, as if there's someone else who is supposed to have the answer. This is his responsibility. If he doesn't even know the answers, it's because he and his unqualified appointees are incompetent.
“Commander in Chief” jumps to throw military crew under the bus before any details are known. Coward.
We no longer have a leader in the White House but a conman who’s #1 goal is always to dodge responsibility.
Next time a R or D says “respect the office” remind them the President himself doesn’t.

The great thing about the block feature on this website is that the liberals just magically disappear after you criticize the Democrats.

The only hope I have for Doom: The Dark Ages being fun is the fact that all elements of the gameplay have speed and difficulty sliders. Because the gameplay they showed was slow and boring.
