Just had another "I need to call my mom and tell her about this!" moment. Coming up on 4 years since her death.

Anyway, thanks, Panera Bread, for putting black bean soup back on the menu, she would have really appreciated it!

Growing up in San Antonio I was aware of it through cultural osmosis, but I don't think I ever saw a second of it, ha.

Can I...can I say I think the pop singer's music is terrible now without being killed?????

Or like, only this album, or like, only if I was a fan before? What are the rules?

Argh, this is an older version of the cover, I've fixed the bottom of the w and a couple other things.

This is such a wild overshare but I also made myself laugh really hard about it.

...and I literally have a short memoir comic about my childhood abuse written and coming out in the next couple years, so eh.

...no reverse?

A conversation between Batman and Robin about the batmobile's gearbox. Batman says it has thirteen gears, followed by a picture of the stick, which shows only thirteen slots. Here's the thing: I don't actually care if it's inaccurate, no one should, and I'm just making a funny little joke. But typing all this out for the alt text makes it seem very serious and I feel like it's giving the wrong impression of my intent.

A friend who isn't in fiLm dIScOurSe cIRclES asked what I thought of one battle after another and I said, "I really loved it...it definitely wasn't perfect."

"That seems like a weird qualifier."

"Well, a lot of people are saying..."

Butch and Sundance scene.
Butch: What's the matter with you?

Butch and Sundance scene.
Sundance: An asteroid might hit the moon in 2032!

Butch: Hahahahahahahahahahahah. Are you crazy?

Had a fried egg sandwich and salad at a local bar and an old man at the bar stared at me and provided RUNNING COMMENTARY on me EATING.

"Salad slipping off the fork there, eh?"
"The eggs here are pretty good!"
"Big sandwich. They'll make you a half order if you ask."
"You got a tomato slipping out!"

Oh, my dear lord, I just made myself tear up a little bit while working on the ending -- in outline form -- of a (redacted redacted redacted), and when I can un-redact this in late 2026/early 2027 you are going to laugh at me so fucking hard.

This season's Super Bowl halftime performer was supposed to be a racist country singer.

Conservative podcasters SPECIFICALLY requested it!!!

It really was a rather prescient book.

That 70mm IMAX theater audience was One Bro-Dude After Another.

Making a movie about a guy who gets into a lot of fights, but only in the morning.

It's called Another Battle? After One?

I have access to all of these ingredients but also have diabetes, it's like an O. Henry story.

I think maybe genuinely part of my brain's confusion is that I've never watched a Marvel movie more than once, and when I sit down to watch a movie on a Friday night, it's not gonna be that.

No shade, just speaking from my own personal experience.

Last night a friend texted me that she was watching "Mabel's Infinity War" and I was like, "Mabel's Infinity War? Wow, that sounds cool. Is it, like, a sci-fi mumblecore thing, like Safety Not Guaranteed?" And then a couple hours ago I went, "ohhhhh, I think I see what happened."

Paul Allor Loves You 🏳️‍🌈 @paulallor.bsky.social · 11d

And I do mean HOURS, dude spent his whole evening and night just posting like a dozen arrest videos and fist-bumping with like-minded fascis--oh, sorry, that word promotes violence, sorry.

Like-minded enthusiasts of using paramilitary power to crush political opposition to a charismatic leader.

A tweet from X with video of an ICE arrest outside Chicago, by @EricLDaugh, and the text reads "BREAKING: Federal Agents just PUMMELLED TO THE GROUND" a leftist and lit up the remaining rioters with stin bals, outside the ICE facility near Chicago.

Could watch this on repeat.

Listen to him scream like a child. The sound of ACCOUNTABILITY.

And the quote tweet (from me) reads

If this dork had said, "I'm glad ICE is breaking up this protest," I'd be like, "I disagree."

But you don't get to spent hours posting "LISTEN to the SCREAMS of this liberal (I should have typed leftists, it's three a.m.) being brutally detained! I could masturbate to this ALL NIGHT!" and then say the left celebrates violence.

People who like Berserk... do you feel like it's great right away, or do you feel like it's kind of pretty bad at first but then if a hypothetical person were to stick with it it would get better later?

I think the worst thing about living in new york would be getting on the subway and seeing the Subway Takes guy sitting there.

I imagine it must happen to the typical new yorker three, maybe four times a week.

Someone please come take my phone away.
