Love me some Mallrats! Pretty sure this was my introduction to Ben Affleck, as the dickhead from Fashionable Male. Seeing Stan Lee reading the Mallrats script on a train(?) in Captain Marvel was an excellent moment.

Eh, people who are quick witted tend to be smart in general. I think he's probably good.

Absolutely. It looks indecisive. I cut my very long hair down to a reasonable length very recently, in part because I could see the top of my head is starting to thin a bit, and I don't want to be one of those guys, with the ponytail but little up top. Bald with shaggy sides isn't any better.

That's a mess, but I'll still give the actual show a try. I assume it won't involve any of the cutesy "playing with framing" that this teaser uses.

It concerns me that Spike didn't have a cigarette anywhere in this video though.

As a Minnesotan, I'm pretty sure I know where my next car is coming from.

Gamera is really neat!
He is full of turtle meat!
We are eating Ga Me Ra!

Into the Flashyverse?

Happened Friday in Oklahoma. For anyone curious:

The driver and his dog were "shaken up" but uninjured in the collision, the sheriff's office said. Five people on board the train were transported to two area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, the sheriff said.

Are we sure the shark isn't from China?!

In about 3 weeks the people of Minneapolis get to vote these fuckers out - ALL of these fuckers. I really hope they do, and that Mpls becomes the first major American city to fully defund / replace the police. I'm sure a handful will be retained or rehired, as we do still need some armed cops, but I'm thinking 90+% of calls can go to someone who isn't packing heat, roided out, and pumped full of "warrior" training.

I saw this footage when it was released last week, and it's both horrifying and unsurprising. I watched some of the live streaming during the protests / riots here and it fits right in with what I saw them doing elsewhere during that period.

Fascinating. I'm glad that we've learned so much about how they operate. Let's kill 'em now.

Having read the books probably a year beforehand, I enjoyed the hell out of that series. I didn't even realize that they'd made sequel series though, might have to track those down!

Grassy yards are dumb as hell, and can fuck off. Parks work well if you need a large, grassy space (and it isn't unreasonable to maintain something like that, ecologically). We don't *each* need to have a tiny park in front of our house. I'm all about native plants, and/or permeable pavers. This "business in the front" is an idea I'm all about as well - hell yeah walkable shops!

I kinda wish the last bit was a cartoon Nancy and her normal speaking voice

It really is a solid video. Even as a fan of Veritasium I wasn't expecting to watch the whole thing ("a half hour about frickin' bowling?!"), but sure enough...
