Don't you dare break my heart, Wallace Shawn.
Grindr screen cap. The username is Wallace_Shawn. The message reads "Hi, you're fucking hot" The profile picture is not of beloved character actor Wallace Shawn, but instead it's of some guy's mouth. No, it's not Wallace Shawn's mouth.

Why does a phone case need AI? How does a phone case use AI? Why does it end with a joke about holes?

Damn. Amber Canyon sounds fun, but I was really hoping for a haunted castle.

I like that the Simpsons this week was just kind of a low-stakes "let's go camping and learn how to hug" episode. It's also always good to see more of Maya. If they wanted to, they could easily get a whole episode out of exploring Moe's weird family tradition.

Gonna dress up in this and help a kid deal with their parents' divorce this year
A Halloween costume of a pumpkin headed ghoul wearing a black cloak. It looks like Pumpkin Man from the short film "Pumpkin Man" which I made a video about.

I grew up with the ones like this, which also sucked ( I think plastic is just very bad material for flip coins). But their solution was to make them even larger and more awkward.
The '90s Pokemon TCG Pikachu coin. It's a little bigger than a quarter and made of lightweight plastic. Just looking at it makes you think "I could never flip that. What a terrible coin."

Nice to see that the Pokémon TCG has continued their proud tradition of making the least flippable coins possible.
A large plastic coin sitting on the board for Pokémon Battle Academy. The coin is sparkly gold with pictures of Pikachu, Armarouge, and Darkrai carved into it. The same large plastic coin as the first picture, but sitting in my hand for scale. The coin is roughly 2 inches in diameter, and clearly unflippable.

Ditto trying its best to be a human, but ultimately becoming some kind of monster that even scares other Pokémon really hit home for me for some reason.
Screenshot from the "Pokopia" trailer. Ditton has taken the form of a human girl but she has maintained the ditto eyes and mouth. Her arms have turned into vines like the ones that Bulbasaur uses. To her left is a Bulbasaur, startled by the sight of her.

Mick Fleetwood as the Fish Delegate on Next Gen
The Antedian Dignitary from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" S2E19 "Manhunt" A fishlike humanoid with pursed lips and large round eyes on the sides of his head. He wears an oversized silver tube-like spacesuit-esque thing as his outfit. You cannot tell that that's Mick Fleetwood under there. In fact, since there are two of these fish guys in the episode, I'm not even 100% certain if this is the one played by Mick Fleetwood. Four pictures of Mick Fleetwood getting into makeup as the antedian dignitary for his episode of Star Trek. Top Left, fish-like hands surround a bust used to shape the fish mask to Fleetwood's head. I can't tell if it's a bespoke bust of Mick Fleetwood, but I don't think so. I think it's a guy who just has similar bone structure. A makeup artist works in the background Top Right: Fleetwood smiles at the camera while Make up Artist Allan A. Apone opens the latex mask to fit it to Fleetwood. Bottom Left: Apone fits the mask around the top of Fleetwood's head. Fleetwood's nose and cheeks are taped, presumably to help fit the mask. Bottom Right: Apone sculpts touch ups to the the mask, now fully around fleetwood's head

Sometimes I make an asset for a video and then I get sad that I have to give it context later.
Superman getting hit by a LASER from the first Max Fleischer Superman cartoon. Superman is getting hit on the butt, and with no context, it's honestly kind of hard to tell if he's being hit by a LASER, or if he is shooting a LASER out of his butt. I've crudely drawn over the image to give him angle wings and a large word bubble that reads "YES!"

The folks on Grindr wish to learn about my technique
Grindr Screenshot. The text reads: OTHER PERSON: How do you normally try to get things going? ME: Normally I ask the other person about their opinions on Annihilation (2018 dir. Alex Garland) but I find that makes them too horny

One of the Christian guys with a loudspeaker at Santa Monica Pier called me the f-slur today, and I'm even really mad. Kind of impressed, actually. Like, how did he know?
Me at Santa Monica Pier. I'm wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt with pictures of lemons on it. Also, I have a pin on my shirt that says "Demon Twink: The Film" which I'm now realizing is probably how the guy knew.

I arranged a threeway with this couple, but they decided not to have sex tonight, so instead they fed me and sent me home with a tiny Funko Pop. How am I supposed to feel rn?

Accidentally ordered two of The Little Caesars Fantastic Four Pizzas, and I've made peace with my mistake, but I wish I'd gotten two different parts of the big logo instead of two identical Invisible Womans.
Two Little Caesars Pizza boxes next to each other on stools in my kitchen. They're orange and both depict a minimalist angular representation of Invisible Woman from the Fantastic Four. The also contain the upper left corner of the Fantastic Four logo on the bottom right corner of the box, implying that getting four boxes together will form one large picture.

Just dropping this for no reason in particular
Screenshot from The Simpsons S11 E12 "The Mansion Family" Two small chimpanzees wielding knives fight each other in a ring surrounded by characters cheering them on. This was posted with no provided text or context, but the events in the news today suggests that I'm making fun of how Donald Trump has been subtweet fighting all day

"Hey boss, I'm done setting up for the promo shots."

"Did you make it look like the Lego Balrog is pissing on the Lego Gandalf?"

"N...no?"

"Please correct that."
Official promotional picture for the Lego Balrog Book Book set. Lego Gandalf is facing down the Lego Balrog (which has wings). The Balrog's whip is at hip level and is positioned such that it looks like it's a stream of urine landing right at Gandalf's feet.

I've been cleaning my room to work through Trinket's passing, and I found this bag of catnip that I thought was lost. It was squirreled away in the corner of my closet covered in cat bites. Little junkie had a secret stash.
A small plastic bag full of dried cat nip. The plastic bag is full of holes that are roughly the size of cat fangs.

Well, it finally happened. After months of helping administer HRT to my friends & partners, I accidentally stuck myself with a Testosterone needle. My thumb better be teeming with alpha energy after this.
Me giving a thumbs up with a band-aid on my thumb. I have blonde hair and glasses. I'm wearing a white v-neck with a black denim jacket. I'm looking off into the distance with a closed mouth smile that says "Yep, I just stuck myself with a Testosterone needle."

Yesterday I had to say goodbye to Trinket. After trying to figure out why she would occasionally get unexplained health problems, it turned out she had Pancreatic Cancer. By the time we caught it, the cancer had already spread to her liver, and it was too late. I'm going to miss her. Best cat.
I'm passed out on a brown leather sofa with my shirt open. I can't remember why my shirt was open, but clearly I was exhausted. Trinket, my long-haired tuxedo cat has decided to lie down on my chest. Trinket, my long-haired tuxedo cat is curled up in the bathtub in front of a white shower stool. Trinket, my long-haired tuxedo cat is hiding in a little cat tunnel. She is staring up at the fastener that allows you to collapse the tunnel and tie it up. She looks like she's going to attack the fastener, or maybe she's just entranced by it. I'm sitting on a grey wool sofa. Trinket, my long-haired tuxedo cat has found a small space in the crook of my arm and decided that that is the perfect place to curl up and nap. Her eyes open, but she's napping.

I have just left the Minecraft movie. How was that a man sandwich? What was the meat? What was the bread? How was that any more of a sandwich than if they went through the tunnel face-to-face?

The Simpsons this week was really solid. Wish we'd gotten to see more of how Grampa and Moe work as a team, and the gambling element feels a little tacked-on, but somehow it all kinda works anyway? Also, good for Martin & Lewis.
Screenshot of The Simpsons S36 E15 "Abe League of Their Moe" Martin Prince (Bart's nerdy overachieving classmate) and Lewis Clark (Bart's classmate, who hasn't really been more than a background character for the last 30 years) walk hand-in-hand into a Springfield Isotopes baseball game at Toblerone Stadium. Moe, Bart, and Grampa look on, likely surprised that Martin could land a boyfriend.
