Threw on the new Criterion of NIGHTMARE ALLEY 2021 and forgot that the reappearance of Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen makes this the Catalina Wine Mixer of Guillermo Del Toro's oeuvre.

No this is so fucking true, first time I watched House was when I was 23 or something and I was like haha whoa that’s crazy it’s the piano from Mario 64 that eats people

Watched it most recently a couple yrs ago and I was like “oh fuck. postwar generational trauma”

Benicio del Toro going from Phoenician Scheme to One Battle After Another has gotta be one of my favourite one-two punches an actor has ever done

bringing back a classic

an adaptation of the sandy loam chart, aka, a triangle where each side is an axis from 0 100, forming triangular little pockets in the center in a pseudo-3-axis chart form. the three axes are "hoinky sploinky" "doinky woinky" and "rinky dinky," each with a "pure" form (penis music, furret walk, and ukelele covers respectively). there is a minor screed here about electroswing sucking, which it does.

Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

Not gonna lie, I’ve always been disappointed that Honkai Star Rail ended up being neither space opera nor wacky episodic Star Trek, esp because it started out with that kind of energy in its writing

some of my favorite star trek episodes are where a federation star ship finds a planet stuck in a dimensional time loop or something and they beam down and start fuckin

I should probably do occasional self-promotion

I made a system-neutral supplement called Procedures to Discover the Path Ahead. You can use it to make maps (or point crawls or paths) that are semi-random, where landmarks change as you travel

Makoto Yukimura was worried that Vinland Saga's farming arc and "I have no enemies" moment was a gamble that readers wouldn't like. I told him about the J. Cole meme from the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap beef. This is how he reacted.

If “I have no enemies” has become a meme and people remember it, then maybe people will understand what I’m really trying to say through the story, which is that humans are immature, but we can mature. To become mature is to become kind. This is the foundation of what I’m trying to say, but it really has to be much shorter for people to remember. But it does give me hope that people remember these short phrases as memes. Then, one day, it will click in their mind what I was trying to really say in the first place.

In my mind, there is a direct line from Masami Obari making Angel Blade to Masami Obari making Bravern. lol

Of course all his mecha work belongs on the same line, but creating an original hentai tokusatsu that is still dead serious about all the hero stuff no matter how horny it gets is *crucial*
