i'd really love to see more publicly broadcast roasts of Penny Wong like what Penny Mordaunt received recently rather than the past few decades of Crabb-esque image rehabilitation we've had from our media figures.
a son, father, and grandfather shuffle into the ENT's office. doc says "Mr Smith, good news about your claim for hearing loss you suffered while serving in the Gulf."
the three men joyously shout "the DVA approved my claim?!"

Beautiful, rich characters. Love the mechanic of rewinding and rewatching scenes following different characters to learn their lives.
Mouthwashing: steamcommunity.com/id/judges119...
Dark, grim, and yet again the real horror is always people.
if you want to put people into an uncomfortable situation where they need to confront you over your inappropriate behaviour, you need to deal with the uncomfortable situation of me being naked and loudly calling you out.
building is non-smoking, we all chuff darts out the front. but an unknown resident has been smoking on their balcony and flicking butts onto other balconies. warnings sent to all residents, etc.
found out who it was so hung over my balcony rail starkers to tell them politely to knock it off.
if it's worth doing scared, it's worth doing naked.
shit sleep last night, woke up at least 3x yelling/screaming from nightmares.
BUT! before that i did have the most novel and fun experience: i snort-laughed myself awake from a dream!!!!
definitely a giggle moment for me

PowerWash Simulator: steamcommunity.com/id/judges119/recommended/1290000
Went in expecting a solid Yard Work Simulator and it delivered well.
Was not expecting the zany plot that had me gripped until the end.

The Light Brigade by Kameron Hurley: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Time travel and cyberpunk corporate war as set dressing for a solid take on imperialism, PTSD, propaganda, and nationalism. Bit of a requiem for Pat Tillman.

Played Dispatch on the holiday break and absolutely loved it: steamcommunity.com/id/judges119...
Beautiful animation, tight writing, great voice acting, and holy shit they got Poundcake by THOT SQUAT in one of the episode outros!?
New year, new #AzAbsorbs thread where I cover the books, games, movies, and TV shows that I get through!
Given what we know about the drug addiction in US Special Forces it makes sense they’d invade Venezuela.
also in what sports commentators are calling "a moment from a bullshit-ass feel-good movie" the annual serious reading deathmatch competition with @shmouflon.scorpinc.social has ended in a historic tie.
gen z commentators are calling us both "chopped"
Full moon tonight! First full moon of 2026. Start as you mean to continue:
Go outside;
Look up, find the moonbeams;
Dance.
Goodreads "Year In Review" has me at 31 books last year: www.goodreads.com/user/year_in...
Quite a few re-reads and comfort reads in 2025 (a Rough Year™) but I did get to smash out the full Murderbot series in time for the show and also read the phenomenal Nock Loose by @cormacmccafe.bsky.social.
#AzAbsorbs belated

A Real Pain (2024)
I feel like this got to me more than I realised as both characters represented parts of me that I love and hate in turn?
Wake Up Dead Man (2025)
Fantastic Knives Out movie, main gripe is it's a Catholic church designed by someone whose only ever been Protestant
the curse we must suffer whenever we interact with our normcore offlinecel touchgrassmaxxing friends

Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
finally a full novel on the idea of being a hench to a supervillain. delightful read.
Military Incremental Complex: steamcommunity.com/id/judges119...
satirical clicker game with such a gorgeously classic UI
a screenshot from Ali G Indahouse (2002) where Ali G and the Westside posse break into a safe in the Prime Minister's office and discover blackmail material of various MPs including one of a male MP fucking a pig.
"Black Mirror predicted David Cameron fucking a pig, it is the most prescient British show ever"
This is blatant Ali G Indahouse (2002) erasure
hmmm, i need a better rip of The Cabin In The Woods, let's search an aggregator for it...

"mix a handful of the seeds into four gallons of beer, drink one pint each breakfast to prepare for spring"
"bruise the leaves and mix with wine, regular intake will help warm the stomach"
i love Culpeper's Herbal. dude really had that king shit advice.
a photo taken from a third floor window looking out at a riverfront green space that has a collection of five private helicopters of different makes, models, and visual decoration. a collection of people walk around them, with some high end people moving vehicles around to shuttle the richy riches.
fancy car meets? i don't understand that sort of poor city behaviour since we have fancy private helicopter meets.
