It's disappointing that once Superman enters the public domain we're going to get a ton of shitty Superman horror movies and not movies about Superman beating up crooked rich people.

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Boiled water, I think. And that’s the limit of my information. Next?

I am at the game store with Stepkid for the MTG pre-release, and the dude next to us is informing his friend that he bought an artisanal ice maker that makes two perfect cubes every eight hours.

TODAY: Folks in Texas are protesting the Dilley ICE detention center, demanding the Trump administration shut it down.

Signs read: NO KIDS IN CAGES.

Robert Reich saying "I liked RFK back when he sounded more like me" should prompt more self-reflection than it probably will.

Hadn’t been clothes shopping for a dog’s age, so bit the bullet.

ME: This is kinda cute…
CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Hand wash, lay flat to dry in shade, do not leave in direct sunlight, do not dry clean.
ME: This is not a shirt, it’s a mogwai.

It’s like it saw a picture of a sand boa and said “That! Yes!”

April 17, 2026 This morning, after a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon took effect Thursday, Iran announced the Strait of Hormuz was open to commercial ships.

You've got to admit, they did a cracking job patching him up after that incident in opening the Ark of the Covenant.

Oh, bless you. No way am I strong enough to watch, but people alluded to this and I was wistfully thinking, “Oh, I’d love to see that…”

All I'm gonna say about The Pitt season 2 finale is that was a shit swaddle job, Dr. Robby.

I’d say, don’t wait a year until your “Physical” to let us know something’s wrong. The annual physical is actually not the time to bring up the chest pain, diarrhea, and sore shoulder you’ve been having for 6 months. Pulling a list of complaints out is soul crushing

Honestly I really liked season 2 of the Pitt, but also I don't... like I just don't think character development is the point of this show. I think this is not about character arcs. It's about putting people in a blender and seeing the giblets go.

My other thought on the Pitt season 2.

Now, Rahman plans to ensure her ordeal comes at a cost to the agency that harmed her.
