You have to pause before you respond in anger, to make sure you cuss out the right person.

For some reason Baby Assassins 2 & 3 are available to watch on Prime but I have to rent to first one. But it's free with Ads on YouTube so I found my workaround.

Did my annual clearsky check to see I've been added to two blocklists: techno pessimists and one labeled drama.

Okay, I guess.

A reminder that the people you see on here with ridiculous takes like this are VERIFIABLY being paid EXTREMELY large sums of money to make them
The perfect Yglesias post: declaring “billionaires are good, actually,” as if it was some bold, counterintuitive take.

Too in a hurry to correct somebody. Didn’t stop to check if you were correct.

Just watched Nosferatu because I wanted to get a FILM movie out of the way before I spend the rest of my time watching martial arts flicks where guys have machete fights on buses and rooftop nightclubs.

I watched The Roundup only to find out that it's the second movie in the series and the first movie is called The Outlaws. But all the other movies are The Roundup: Something so was it a Rambo situation?

The older I get the more I learn that racism is boring. It's stale and it lacks any originality.

The same insult or "criticism" rabbit hops from one Black or brown face to another.

I am bored.

I watched The Roundup and The Prosecutor last night. I think I prefer East Asian 'based on true events' action moves to US because the latter usually is a comedy or has some over the top gunfights while the former will end with dudes throwing hands.

Audibly cursing at a bad take/rage bait post and scrolling past it is much healthier and spares people who follow you the psychic damage from seeing some bullshit.
Seeing a bad tweet/post and just audibly saying 'shut up, you fucking dork' before scrolling along without replying is also the move.

Even the inflatable Christmas decorations weren't enough to make this week feel like Christmas. It just feels like Fall NG+.

My Christmas wish is that people will look at daunting tasks and work to break them down into more manageable ones. I say that to say that I hope people set aside the guillotines and just start whooping ass as a first step.

For Christmas, I did something that I have never done. Take my father's custom Bat'leth out of the box.

Baked my own cake as has been my birthday tradition since 2020. Family came by. We had pizza and watched the OG TMNT. It was nice. Miss the snow, though.
