I write a lot about pop culture. Movies, television, and comics most often. Sometimes politics. I live-skeet SNL on Saturdays. Just a head’s up.
I used to write and draw the web comic Theater Hopper, if that means anything to you.

I saw something recently that said instead of responding with "No problem" when someone thanks you, respond with "My pleasure." Which I get, in principle.
But "My pleasure" also makes you kind of sound like a people pleaser. Like you were eager for an opportunity to serve...

Bartended for the last four days in a row. Worked 10 hours yesterday. Opened and closed by myself. Today is a day off. Tried to get caught up on some stuff and hit a wall.
I think I gotta take a nap, or something.

I just texted my wife a link to matching Christmas pajamas for us and our dogs.
What is wrong with me? We don’t have money for this shit.

I was debating yesterday if I should stop live posting SNL. But then I posted a couple of reactions and it’s the most engagement I get on here.

Because I’ve been bartending since March, I’ve missed a lot of SNL. I used to post live during the broadcasts a lot. But I do t know if BlueSky gives a shit about that stuff. I kind of miss it. But I kind of feel like I should let it go?

Watching Back to the Future II and every time I watch these movies, I become more and more convinced Tom Wilson is the lynchpin of the entire franchise. His performances as various members of the Tannen family absolutely sets the tone for all three films.

Making toast this morning. No softened butter available, so I grab a stick from the fridge and put it in the microwave to soften it a little bit.
Hit the wrong button on the microwave and melted the whole thing.

I'm not particularly religious, but my question would be "why?" Do people feel they don't need religion as much? Is there something about religion in America that has turned them off in some way? Or is it just straight-up hopelessness?

So I was looking at LinkedIn (because I'm a sick, sick boy) and they're trying to lure me back into getting LinkedIn Premium (which I used for four months and it helped me not-at-all).
Now they're bundling free access to Spotify Premium with a subscription, if you want to know how it's going.

Y'know how everyone started ripping on CalArts style "bean mouth" in animation?
Get ready. Because I think this trailer is going to be the kick-off to the push back on the "Spiderverseification" of everything.
