It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

It's me, the guy who writes "This looks like one of those fake movies from 30 Rock!" beneath every movie trailer.
It's gonna come back around to being funny sooner or later and I'm gonna be in on the ground floor when that happens!

I really liked TRAIN DREAMS, thinking about it now, if you enjoyed 'Red Dead Redemption 2's random Stranger Missions then you'll like it too!
A ★★★★ review of Train Dreams (2025)
Gotta love Netflix, giving us this film but as the final moments draw in cutting to the credits, immediately the screen fills with an ad for 'Wednesday' - threatening that a trailer will roll in 15 se...

Surprisingly few years ago opening on Stephens Day sales wasn't a thing and I worked in the only shop on Henry Street (Gamestop) open that day, we closed after 2 hours because the place was JAMMED and unsafe and everyone was screaming for discounts on things we didn't sell.
People should have to do a stint in retail so they can learn to be friendly to retail workers, yes. But people should also do a stint in retail so they can easily recognise bullshit sales days for what they are

A country with a housing shortage needs homes, not landlords.

No experience I hate more than having my hair cut.
The most "service provider is 100% not listening to you" transaction imaginable with zero recourse if they fuck it up (as they frequently do).
Just a frustrating time every time.

'American Vandal' is still the best true crime documentary Netflix (or any streaming service) ever produced.

No-one is without something they wish were different about themselves. Be honest, improve what you can, but be kind to yourself, too. Don't become your own bully.

My hot take is that everyone (else) has bad film opinions and Variety is entitled to theirs.

The real and true story of why Police Squad (the TV series Naked Gun was based on and easily the funniest tv show of its time) was canceled is legitimately insane and one of the most egregious examples of TV malpractice I’ve ever heard:

In Ireland, there are 122 landlords with 101+ tenancies. A further 130 with 50-101 tenancies. There is quite literally no need for anyone to own that much property.

If you think there are very few people here, you couldn't handle how much fewer there seem to be with my extensive "muted" words list.
Some days I barely see posts by people because something/ someone terrible is the main character.
