I write a lot about pop culture. Movies, television, and comics most often. Sometimes politics. I live-skeet SNL on Saturdays. Just a head’s up. I used to write and draw the web comic Theater Hopper, if that means anything to you.

It’ll be interesting to see how this is different from Owen Wilson in “Stick.”

I had someone on LinkedIn congratulate me for my “one year anniversary of being an Independent Contractor!”

I know they meant well, but it wasn’t exactly my choice.

I don’t want to look like an unfinished coloring book. Any tattoo I got would still be modest and intentional.

I’ve probably circled these thoughts on and off for the better part of 25 years.

I’ve been thinking about tattoos lately. I don’t have anything particular in mind. But the reason I never got one in the past was because I felt like it needed to be “perfect” and lasting.

Now I’m starting to think it could just be whatever.

This is how I access BlueSky.

I’m doing social media for the brewery I work at and sometimes get a jump on the week scheduling stuff on Sundays.

I just don’t have the energy to be creative tonight.

I remember that one shot. It was great.

That water bottle holds, like, 6 ounces.

It’s three inches tall.

WHY?

Remember in Mallrats when Brodie was carrying around a bent up Dixie cup everywhere?

It’s all in service of that “who’s stronger?” debate culture in nerd circles. But, these days, I think even the most casual fan has a good read on power levels.

I was actually thinking about this a little more today and I think it would be cool if they spent the day saving people in small ways and complimenting each other with how nice and friendly the other one is.

What do you get when you subtract Please Don’t Destroy from The Lonely Island? Martin Herlihy filmed pieces, I guess. #SNL

Martin Herlihy As Colin Jost is the kinds of nightmare fuel I don’t need at 12:00 o’clock at night. #SNL

Either is accurate! :D

Ryan Gosling’s Goo Goo Rewards number is 3. #SNL

I need to know more about the Goo Goo Man. #SNL

Well, Tariq also goes by Black Thought. 😉

08.03.2026 05:53 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

And is that Black Thought on this second song as well? #SNL

Wait. Is that Debbie Harry on this second Gorillaz song? #SNL

It was so weird to see that come up as a lower-third before she read the first note.

I’m not complaining. I liked the sketch. I think it just goes to prove that Lorne was wrong. The audience likes to be in on the joke.

Kind of funny that #SNL was built on the foundation of “no breaking” because Lorne Michaels thought that The Carroll Burnett Show did it to much and was uncool for it.

Now they’ve written a sketch that’s actively farming for breaking.

Lunch #2 looks legit. #SNL

Ashely has caught on to the game pretty quickly. #SNL

So I guess the idea here is to bring the audience in on the joke without sandbagging Ashley Padilla and Ryan Gosling? #SNL

Did they break out Will Ferrell’s Harry Carrey glasses for Pastor Update? #SNL

Pastor Update with the hankie is a perfect touch. #SNL
