There’s a lot of people who seem like allies right now, but once MAGA goes away, they’ll go right back to being on the wrong side.

The Voyagers update in No Man’s Sky is exactly what I’ve wanted. Getting to build my ship is the only thing I want to do now.

I’m not a big fan of the Bible. I am however a big fan of using names and terminology from the Bible like “slouching towards Bethlehem” and naming things after Judas.

Wild to think that this mountain eventually gets its PhD and becomes the ruler of Latveria.

Eve 6 - Inside Out
Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.

Whoever put a bunch of Dark Knight trilogy actor names in today’s connections can go to hell!

If you charge someone a tax to import their goods, they're going to charge the customer to cover the cost. This is so simple.

“It’s like a really really good wand!”
thinking about the Deathly Hallows, as plot objects. the Elder Wand in particular is one of the most boring fantasy artifacts I've ever encountered. absolute first draft shit.

Something I'm excited to see in #Andor, the complete shutdown of the senate. Something we hear Tarkin mention in A New Hope. I love when we get to see something that's briefly mentioned in the OT.

If an Army private accidentally texted the details of a classified military operation to a reporter, let alone transmitted any classified information to anyone who was unauthorized over an unsecured device, they’d be charged and likely spend time in Leavenworth.

But it’s Hegseth, so probably not.

Quick and the Dead for me. Pure malice, well delivered.
Gene Hackman was truly one of the greatest screen actors of all time. He almost never hit a false note. Always mesmerizing. Rest in Peace, Gene. My favorite Gene Hackman movies:

The Conversation
Unforgiven
Night Moves
Bonnie & Clyde
The French Connection
Superman
Mississippi Burning

I am once again taking a dump in Japan, calming sounds of a river and birds fill my ears, and I’m about shoot a jet of water at my winky stink eye. Life is good again.

I also watched Longlegs. That felt like a weird trip but good. Definitely a good double feature with Silence of the Lambs.

I watched Conclave on my flight back to Japan and holy shit I didn’t see that ending coming. Fantastic movie. Fiennes and Tucci need to be in more things together.
