It’s weird bc they must have assumed that people would see the movie without knowing (or caring) the difference. But it’s not like changing hair color, Reacher’s mass and girth (sorry) is his defining character trait. And it’s not like 2012 was peak We Love Cruise Again and Need Him on Screen

Songs for (the) Ed Tour 2023

I was arguing w a bunch of boomers in the WaPo comment section (who is the real loser here) by saying if you’re old enough to collect SS and CHOOSING to work you should not receive SS bennies. Save it for the ppl who need it/future gen, not just to fund your African safari vacation

I just read tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and the most unrealistic thing about it (otherwise a good read) is that somehow the main character creates a progressive utopia in a second life type MMORPG (bans guns, same sex marriage etc.) in the late 90’s and he is universally praised for it.

Perhaps the only real good thing about the streaming proliferation is there’s been a lot of good, interesting animation

it's just so annoying bc his point was actually valid -sometimes it really does takes teamwork to make the dream work. the alternative is hero ball (e.g mark walhberg claiming he could have prevented the terrorists on his own). selfish play is not the hallmark of a good football team! why apologize

I absolutely love this acct, thank you for doing it

Considering he openly loves Cyberpunk 2077 so much so he wanted it playable in Teslas (where every single story/side mission/gig has you criming it up all over Night City minus the one meditation side quest) it’s testament to his goldfish brain/bad faith posturing. In other news, water wet

Ed can I legit say thanks that you spend all this time trying to explain this dumb shit to smartish people esp when it definitely isn’t your day job - also quite enjoy the pod, perfect length w actually interesting guests

I know others often pay dearly for their hubris but I’m different

ty I have lingering twitter mindset which dictates you must undercut any innocent position in case some dipshit wants to argue w you…this place is much nicer

Not knocking in the slightest- you have to be pretty smart/clever to write ‘dumb’ comedy like that

I know I’m an idiot but goddamn the naked gun movies are so funny, just what a perfectly simple sight gag

Yeah it’s a hopeless feeling which is why I use the ‘buying oxygen’ example. The oxygen providers could provide free/subsidized air for ppl who need it but that doesn’t get them bonuses or help relations with Big Oxygen so it’s on me to find air to breathe via 1 of 3 makers at 300% markup

I have a ‘good’ job/most expensive insurance option my job covers and the ‘good’ insurance is only good at pissing me the hell off constantly by denying routine supplies/medications for type one diabetes. It’s like if you had to buy oxygen but some unknown ‘expert’ says nah you’re good without

Michael Douglas’s mortal enemy

especially when you view it against the corp/cyberpunk culture it speaks on; if everyone continues to only care about their bottom line (as is def the case today) then only the most ruthless can survive but what sort of life is it sitting on a throne by yourself when your friends hate you
