I like Doctor Who, dogs, tattoos and old weird pop culture trash. Sadly I also podcast because I’m a white man in his early 40s.

I’m not sure “don’t vote for the party offering hope” is a winning message.

Though I am expecting someone to claim that saying you shouldn’t have a Nazi tattoo and political power is gatekeeping.

Sadly the only skull and cross bones tattoos available are war crime related and no-one will google to check that.

Who among us hasn’t been accidentally tattooed with Nazi iconography? Just young men larking about!

And to tie this in to the current discourse please notice the lack of Nazi iconography.

Got tattooed on Saturday, the pitch was Trad panther but make it a fox.

A traditional colour tattoo of a fox in the panther pose. It looks sick as fuck and whoever has it must be one cool dude.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

Who was it who tweeted that Robert Preston is reborn every day as a tiny baby who knows and understands nothing?

Nitro Nine Milkshake @adamclegg.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah that’s definitely the starting point.

I watched a couple of episodes but was put off by the fact that every action scene was scored by what I can only describe as light jazz.

To be clear, I think that tropes are useful as a way of understanding the basic building blocks of story, context and trends.

But just listing the "tropes" of a given piece of media is not an actual criticism. It's just noise.

Not to dunk on an individual review, but it is fascinating how the internet's obsession with tropes just led to word soup commentary that rarely engages with the actual text.

"Filler", "plot armour", "lazy writing", "Mary Sue", etc. Never actual insight.

I fully believe this is what the 12th Doctor got up to between episodes.

I think some of the people on social media sneering at the No Kings protesters are just mad that those normies with signs are way better shitposters than they are

My first thought was that Heavy has never even seen a bread knife.

Out of all the characters in The Power Fantasy who is most likely to wash their bread knife?
