It came up in my continuing complete #TheSimpsons rewatch tonight, so thank you @merriam-webster.com, at long last, the ending of “Who Shot Mr. Burns” finally makes sense!

Jessica’s reintroduction was great, but now I really need to see the transition from where she was at the end of her series to suburban mom. How did Luke get her out of the city? #Daredevil #BornAgain

Phoeo of a cute cat behind a super market toy set looking at the camera, with the silly caption of "Khajiit has wares if you have coin" which is a known The Elder Scrolls line.

How are there two seasons of a period piece dramedy starring Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe and I have *never* heard about it?

I think there might just be too much content. Too much stuff.

So what? What does it prove? The drill ultimately defeated John Henry because it could do the job he did without exhaustion and dying. But what exactly is this accomplishing? We don’t watch track and field to see machines.

We all celebrate Superman Day differently, Krypto's eating treats, Supergirl is off on an adventure, and Superman is...hanging out with Lex?

Superman is awesome and if you can’t find a way to tell a good Superman story without it being boring, sincerely, skill issue

A six panel grid from Action Comics #1. Superman stops a man from beating his wife with a belt. He throws the man against the wall; the man then tries to stab Superman. The knife breaks and the coward faints.

Happy Superman Day.

Golden Age Superman was a New Deal hero and a champion of the poor and oppressed.

Never forget that Superman’s earliest enemies included: slumlords, crooked businessmen, corrupt politicians, mining tycoons, gangsters, and abusers.

I got on a jag a few months ago of revisiting a bunch of ‘90s movies, and I never watched it more than a couple times, but I found that I had most of “Grosse Pointe Blank” memorized even after 25+ years since the last viewing.

“The Scathing Atheist” podcast does a bit every so often where they act out the Bible, and for the Pauline epistles they’ve leaned hard into how obsessive Paul is and how much of his work seems to be having arguments we have no context for.

A card from Magic: The Gathering - Secrets of Strixhaven, “Repel Calamity”. Art depicts a mouse in plate armor raising his sword with halos of light emanating from him that push back a monster made of fire and shadow.

So, I know Bloomburrow as a set was very “Magic does Redguard”… but this #SecretsofStrixhaven Mystical Archive “Repel Calamity” is really pushing it, I think. #MTGSOS #MTGSOA #MagictheGathering

SHIT! Shitshitshitshitshit.

I am going to be on a plane the evening of May 21, which is the only time before May 28 that my wife and I can go see #TheMandalorianandGrogu together.

And she would be mad if I went without her.

Dammit.

Is it a prerelease weekend? SURE IS! Means it’s time for me to gush over singles as I sort!

I wish there was some way to convey to how gorgeous the raised foiling on the Japanese Mystical Archive cards is. Fracture is even prettier in person. #MagictheGathering #MTGSOS #MTGSOA #SecretsofStrixhaven

Are women not taking up AI because they don't understand it, Reese? Is there another option?

It's a *literally* catastrophically inefficient tool. Can you replace a bunch of writers and actors with it to save time and money? Maybe. But the output will be crap and it wastes resources *people* need.

“It’s a couple of things that work beautifully in concert. First: no music. Audiences are so sophisticated, but what they’re not accustomed to is not being told how to feel,” Wyle says. “You take all that out and it forces a level of engagement where you’re now looking for clues within the frame of the screen, which forces you to look up from your phone. And I think that is extremely engaging, especially to young viewers who aren’t accustomed to being asked to participate in a nonpassive way in the viewing experience.

“Second point, shooting it with almost exclusively 50-millimeter or 65-millimeter lenses, which is the most comparable to the human eye—and only shooting from the point of view of a human being that’s present in this space. There are no cameras on gurney wheels going in the hallway. There’s no cameras on the ceiling looking down from a God point of view. You are limited to the perspective of a participant. You can look away, but you can’t leave, and it becomes an endurance test for you to stay on your feet as long as we’re on our feet. Which [brings me to my] third point: real time. Real time has an aggregate sense of tension that you don’t get in any other form of storytelling. What happened before is happening now, and these two things are going to add up to the next thing. And if we throw more ingredients into this cooker and keep ratcheting it up, it’s going to pop.”

Wyle makes eye contact for his next point, delivering it with a Robby-esque matter-of-factness. “Fourth point: The election went the other way,” he says with a shrug. “We could have been a really good show with a lot of nice things to say in a perfectly normal Kamala Harris universe. And instead we became almost a beacon of hope and humanity in an alternative universe. But in the midst of that, fifth point—this is essentially competence porn. You’re watching really smart, dedicated people do what only they know how to do at a level that you don’t know how to do it, and you’re so fucking glad that they’re there doing it, and compartmentalizing their own stuff to put your broken pieces back together. You’re so reassured by knowing that there are people out there that laugh and joke and have the ability to lock in like that.”

But talk to your doctor about it. The RDA on D is about 800 IUs, so I am seriously overdosing on a doctor’s care. Vitamin D overdose can cause hypercalcemia - calcium in the blood stream - and lead to things like kidney stones.

My psychiatrist has mentioned Vitamin D every time I’ve talked to him (which, in my defense, is only twice a year).

This week, I took him up on it and started 10000 IUs. And it is fucking Night and Day. Almost instantly my arthritis came down to a manageable level and I feel *awake*.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
