Sometimes I think about how frogs serve now as inextricable iconography for both sides in these Balkanized United States and I blame the Hadron Collider for shifting us into this fucking Babar/Berenstain Bears-ass timeline.

Also, you can tell Robert Englund is having the absolute time of his life and I love that for him.

It's not exactly good, but I find it really difficult to shake the experience of seeing it in a packed and raucous house on opening night. I respect that it refuses to take itself seriously and it has some strong surreal imagery in the nightmare sequences.

I’ve missed hearing Woody Allen’s voice - I’d been so rattled this week and there he was, his full self.

Was excited to realize Little Nightmares III came out today, which was immediately dashed when I learned that the co-op is online only. Absolute horseshit. Seems like the perfect kind of game for couch co-op.

This is the exact reason I'm semi-relieved it didn't go to 47. As meaningless as it ultimately is, it does at least mean not EVERYONE out there will cower to that motherfucker. That and and the fact that we know it hurt him personally are the only positives here.

Kissinger got a Nobel for Vietnam so it hasn't meant shit for decades.

I think the bruises from my last playthrough attempt are still healing. Modern games have made me soft.

Yeah, I appreciate the Wild Wild West ass aesthetic of the Hearts of Steel line, but that Starscream alt mode is wack as hell. They could've put a LITTLE more effort into making it look like a biplane or something.

Taking Paige to Baltimore ComicCon. She and I are working on cosplay costumes and this is easily the most effort I've put into something like this. I may or may not have written several paragraphs of backstory for my character.

A listing for an inflatable frog costume on Amazon that shows 500 plus have been purchased in the last month.

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

Queer people are the working class. Arab and Muslim people are the working class.

The working class is intersectionality personified. It's not three cis straight white men in an Ohio diner.

Though I bet HBO desperately wants to release an official statement about how the source material was published well before The Mandalorian premiered.

Extremely down for a Thrones show that is just low stakes, episodic adventures.
