one of our writers tastes great

Was interested in seeing Michael (2026) until I realized it had nothing to do with the movie where John Travolta plays the Archangel Michael.

Michael (2026): Jaafar Jackson gives an uncanny performance of his uncle Michael Jackson in this hagiography covering his rise to stardom as the most uncontentious way possible. Michael is portrayed near angelically, barely anyone else registers bar Colman Domingo's Joe, and turns into long concerts

we all know I have no life, so:

The Pragmata discourse is yet another perfect opportunity to implement the Sessler Index, but only if you are not a coward.

I found a couple screenshots ,These were my favorites
@ultimashadow.bsky.social takes the cake here tho XD

Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

The only thing I know about Mint is that she wants people to stop getting pregnant.

Tim Curry, the absolute legend, turns 80 today. This man took huge swings.

That one's on my To Do List too. Only ever beat the first chapter.

Mars Attacks (1996)

Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!” Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?” Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.” Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”

Can I just be a PNGtuber that talks like this?

I like to think Samuel L Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction was actually quoting Megatron and not realizing it.

"And you will know that my name is Megatron when I lay my vengeance upon thee!"
"You have already read the Covenant of Primus?"
"Just the good parts."

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

Looking for recommendations!

I want to hear what websites/apps people are using to track their video game collections.

Only criteria is that it must support sharing your collection URL, so anyone with the link can browse. Nothing strictly private, basically.

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.

I'm curious now what the definition of "problematic" actually is, or if it's like pornographic where nobody can agree on it.

Two doors - the ‘male’ entrance is wide and square like a door. The ‘woman’ entrance is a cutout of a very thin long haired woman in heels.

This cartoon by Naked Pastor is SO GOOD. Sums up what I’ve been saying for ages about what happens when you start gatekeeping womanhood (and spoiler alert it’s the opposite of feminism).

Do I dare browse the forbidden texts?

I do not get the appeal of 2B's design.

Maybe it's because the design elements clash with each other, or that I don't find French maid outfits all that sexy, or that you're kinda missing the point of a blindfold if the wearer has perfect vision while wearing it. I'm not sure.

"He got financial advice from McJuggerNuggets." - An actual thing someone once said

Anyone who only watches "pure" art is probably just ignoring the impurities in stuff they like. Like I'm a big fan of One Piece, but good lord.

They're being Poison/Fighting.

This has been my approach to writing so far. There's a lot of stuff I want to say about other stories, and a lot of it can best be said by just making a story that does the stuff I want.

I made my stories because I wasn't satisfied with other people's stories. Mine aren't necessarily better stories, just stories made for ME.

That dissatisfaction is inspiration.

You're supposed to go make your own stuff with it, not harass other people for making their stuff.
