Nine Inch Noize makes me want to take a fistful of mdma and jump into the pit, which is an impulse that i honestly thought i aged out of 8 years ago so that's cool.

Just tuned into the Jays game. What the fuck happened

This is basically what The Boys is.

“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.”

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...

Talk about an extremely Jays start to the season.

Jays Sleeper agent Tony Banda back at it.

The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

Everyone loves NASA missions so much. It’s not just because it’s space travel it’s because there is a sense that we are doing something collectively that isn’t purely evil vs. 20 exploding SpaceX rockets that dump garbage in poor Texas communities and low orbit that everyone forgets an hour later.

Mashallah m*crosoft hasn't bought out NASA, run their good tech into oblivion, and monopolized space travel with shit

they call it “means testing” because bringing it up will test how fucking mean i can get at whoever is doing it,

if you invented public libraries today, every opinion page in the country would be arguing for means tested subsidized Amazon Prime memberships

Kurtwood Smith should have been Best Supporting Actor nominated for RoboCop…

That's right

I can't believe Ernie Clement gave me a personal birthday walk off.

The Little Experiment is over.

More like Truther Park

ITS OPENING DAY AND I AM FIRED UP FOR SOME BASEBALL (I reserve the right to walk this statement back at any time in the next 7 months).

Opening Day (for each respective team) should be a stat holiday for two very good reasons:
1. I don't wanna be at work when I'm only thinking about ball
2. Opening Day is always near my birthday and that's cause enough for a day off.

I'm not afraid of janky messes (dragons dogma 2 bangs), but I do have big issues w anything that feels soulless. Give me a reason, no matter how shallow.

Haven't played Crimson Desert, but I've been following the various takes and such. Finding this one compelling simply because it starts off with a take I've been screaming for years: 'RDR2 is unnecessarily bloated'

If your demon in SMT forgets their healing skill, that's lost Media.

Desperate to wolf down the cursed JRPG meal.

STS2 making an absolutely banging card to represent the GOAT kitchen accessory

Middle of an anime fight, an old drunk going on a tirade about on-by-default frame interpolation sucks is exactly my kinda shit.

starling (seth rogen): if you could take this survey that would be so awesome. i could get out of your hair before this guy's done jacking off.

hannibal lecter (danny mcbride): motherfucker that's miggs. me and him are boys, so you better watch yourself. i'm behind this glass cause i ate some dudes

Marty Supreme slams. I've got very few other words.

I'd say the US is about 2 election cycles away from the literal Judge Holden winning the Rep. nod. Those are gonna be some good editorial headlines.

At least they used the active voice.

Oh HELL yes. The first EP (another of these!) is still a semi regular play.
