A lot of old Star Trek (from Next Gen forward) episodes are going to hit different in light of this AI girlfriend business. The show acted like it was normal for well-adjusted Federation officers to have occasional holo-flings and we weren't supposed to think about it too much. But it was weird!

The toaster has slots for two slices. It feels like that should be called "a pair of toast." But that's not right.

Javier Rodriguez in Absolute Martian Manhunter. I'm not competent enough in the visual arts to explain why the work is so damn good, but it is so. damn. good.

The most important thing about the gremlins from Gremlins is that they're just total assholes. That's more important to them than murder or even survival.

I remember this song from the aughts - "You don't think we should keep them at Gitmo? Maybe we should keep them in your house." Rhymes with "Oh if a border wall is bad maybe you shouldn't have walls in your house." Authoritarians love bad analogies and false dilemmas like Buridan loves his ass.

Movie pitch: Final Destination: I Know What You'll Do This Summer.
It's a crossover of IKWYDLS and FD; someone has a vision of themself and a bunch of other people dying terribly in a horrible tragic accident caused by a group of irresponsible teens, and realizes it will happen this summer.

If that OU student had turned in that paper in HIGH SCHOOL I would have scheduled an after school meeting to (as kindly as possible) explain that standards in my class were different than her home school. But in college? gtfo. The only people taking this grifter seriously are in on the grift.

If anyone has been using "gay Dumbledore" as shorthand for authors retconning things, Ursula K. Le Guin gave us "communal pickle barrels" as a replacement. And I'm pretty sure Le Guin's castle didn't have black mold, if you get what I'm saying.

Aside from everything else, this is so lazy. I mean, Britta-From-Community.gif "but I draw the line at being a fucking hack" and all that, but it's insulting how low-effort this is and how cute he thinks he's being. There's styrofoam packing the place where his soul should be.

I'm imagining a Gen Alpha kid saying "I really like Western Isekai like Alice in Wonderland and Narnia" and getting so mad at them. Now if it happens in real life I'll be able to keep my cool and not be a grump.

Final verdict on It: Welcome to Derry:
Would have been better if they spent more time luxuriating in the bonkers parts: Drugged Kid Sewer Adventure, Assembly From Hell, Hallorann Shinewars Pennywise, Marge Being a Badass; and less time with: Artifacts, Periwinkle, Fearless Man Being Afraid.

Finally a chance to catch up with the season (really? Season? You honestly expect to make more of this?) finale of It: Welcome to Derry. I've managed to avoid spoilers, so I have no idea what to expect.

Gaston, my boy. You are large, stupid, and handsome. You could be the finest Himbo of our town. But beware cruelty, entitlement, arrogance. These are the marks of the Bully. Above all, stay away from the Chateau des Brutes. They will teach you to fight and spit, but at the cost of your innocence.

It's funny to me that the new Naked Gun had to make their Elon Musk character less of a lower bigot to fit the tone of the movie. He got a glow up to cartoon villain. Not the best joke of the film, or even the best meta-joke, but one that made me think.

Btw United, if you see this, your Denver to Bakersfield flight team and people in Ontario were doing their best and were very nice, and it really feels like you hung them out to dry.
If United Airlines has this much trouble with a weather diversion on 12/12, they're going to be in a world of hurt next week. If I worked customer-facing for United I would be pushing the panic button.

You could move north of the Wall, get a job helping the Night's Watch rangers, meet a nice girl at the Old Gods' grove, take her on a date to the Giant's Stair and get married and raise up seven daughter-wives in this house but you will not do it.
