there is a straight line between Steely Dan's Bodhisattva and Imagine Dragons' Thunder

not for the pun, mind you, but for making me think about Steely Dan

in EverQuest a friend named their rogue Stealy Dan and I still hate him for it

relaying a tip from a novelist friend -

whenever you write a fact about your setting, think about what else needs to be true to make that first fact plausible. if there are fish, there's probably water and food sources for those fish. this can trigger a chain reaction of things to write about

same. uninstalled Destiny 2 the second I heard about the layoffs and haven't looked back

just looking at Marathon grosses me out. in the middle of appreciating the art, I remembered they laid off Bungie's veteran art lead who defined the Marathon style

so fuck 'em

what they had (peace & quiet) has gone away

I like Alan Moore's writing tips on BBC Maestro. Ranges from broad to specific, but it all ties together and it's helped me get stuff on paper

Should come up in the top results here: www.youtube.com/results?sear...

whoooooooooooooooooooosh

two point cut briskets in a foil-lined pan on the BBQ. they're well caramelized, sitting in their juices

"I would like to see the baby."

if you're going to explain the joke, at least get the line right

The Emissary

NewsRadio

Ted's dead, baby

ah, yes. when I watch a slapstick gentlemen's duel and one combatant repeatedly scampers up after mortal blows like a Looney Toons character, I cannot help but think, "gee, this is way too serious for me"

two smoked pork shoulders in a pan on the grill after 18 hours of barbequing. they are perfectly caramelized, sitting in their rendered juices

sacrificing trans folks for imagined political points is both immoral and ineffective. the former's always been true; the last 2 years of elections have borne out the latter

voters are galvanized by candidates who substantively stand up for the marginalized. it's literally a winning strategy

the Polyphemus and Nobody thing is wicked smaht

CEO of Bernie Madoff says Ponzi scheme doesn't count as stealing—and is actually good for society

problem

every time I see a cat, I want to stop everything and pet them

the Flipmode episode remains one of the funniest things I've ever seen. and it holds up! timeless king shit

Swedish coming out swinging against Dutch as The Most Unserious Language

From there, I can earnestly recommend or not recommend a movie to friends when it comes up in conversations. We've each had the room to mull it over. From there, it's easier to have a discussion and gain new appreciation, while it's less likely to trigger a silly and futile competition about taste

More earnestly, I love leaving a theater and having the time, space, and quiet to process what I just saw. Did I love it? If so, what did I love about it? If not, what bugged me? I can do this on the way home without someone hearing me say "I liked it" and responding "Actually, you're wrong"

Solo trips to the movie theater are a treat for many reasons, not the least of which: I don't find out who among the friends I love are the kinds of assholes who talk and text during the movie

goofy ass two-first-name-havin' muthafucka

bit of Vincent Cassel in there too, IMO

I'm in my 40s, in generally good health, with mild-to-moderate anxiety. I can count on one hand the nights in the past decade I've slept all the way through

as a kid, I slept like a rock through thunderstorms. I miss it so much
