Me, owning both fake plants and real plants: “He will lie to confuse us. But he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us.”

I watched both Terrifier and Oddity today so if I don’t have scary dreams then I don’t know what to say

When is the last time any person listened to Hot Hot Heat

I think secretly every man thinks it would be cool if he were good at chess

Are you ever reading a particular book and you think “this is exactly the size and shape a book should be”

Here’s a different way I’d love for someone to ask Vance this question:

Why are you afraid to say Donald Trump won the 2020 election if that’s so clearly what you believe?

My recommendation for a spooky movie this season is “A Dark Song.” I loved it and don’t think I ever really hear anybody talking about it.

Hey #Letterboxd now has a public API! I’d love to hook up #WordPress custom post types to log movie viewings and ratings — someone should do the same with #11ty. https://api-docs.letterboxd.com

Does #Bandcamp Daily really not have any #RSS feeds?

It’s a good sign for Mastodon that posts can go so viral that they needed to build grouped notifications into their new release.

I don’t know if it’s because I subscribe to too many podcasts or what, but the Podcasts app on #iOS18 is *so slow*.

(Do not talk to me about Overcast.)

You may have noticed SMS messages and a kind of “auto-sign-in” on sites that use Link and Shop(ify), even sites you haven’t shopped at before.

I just heard “Mr. Jones” on the radio, and I was remembering what an inescapable monster hit that was when it came out.

I looked it up and it was on the Billboard radio chart for 47 weeks, making 1994 almost an entire year of “Mr. Jones.”

Trump: “It’s raining cats and dogs out there!”

The frothing commentariat: “Our Trump lie counter has ticked up yet again after his bizarre and unhinged claim that animals are falling from the sky. FACT CHECK: Rain is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, with trace mineral content.”

I’m watching “Get a Life” for the first time (available only on DVD, not streaming anywhere), and I’m enjoying it more than I expected.

I would love to see “no talking, please” screenings of The Room and Rocky Horror. Otherwise I will never see these in a theater.

This new Zelda game is already so stinking cute. And it’s so refreshing not to have to worry about my sword breaking.
