Love all thing Letterkenny, but Clamato juice is the devil's sweat and you're welcome to use my share.

I'm betting most of the people in this photo have ever painted anything professionally, they look like complete rubes.
For various reasons, I’ve done a deep dive on ballyhoo and was intrigued to learn it was named after a popular magazine.
I’ve never seen Harry Parry and George Benson in the same time and place and now I’m suspicious 😆
Oh I wish I was there, I could share the Statamic Mirador integration I’m working on that lets you view really high res photos of older pinball machines. AI image processing for visual search. Im hoping it will be available to the public soon.
Now can we talk about the first amendment and government trying to legislate speech?
Trump doesn’t know what the Streisand Effect is. Seems like Colbert's already impressive career just got a boost.
Would it tell me what the paywalled article you linked to said?
The real question is why you take the NYT seriously anymore? I stopped thinking of them as a real paper years ago.
Thats a hard no. As a citizen who actually understands the First Amendment, you should be prosecuted for violating federal law.
Sgt Bonespur and his whining commando.
I’m also still waiting for the taco trucks I was promised would be on every corner
He’s such a asshat. I won’t bother explaining that what he thinks of as Chinese food is actually American-Chinese food.
Trump is desperately trying to show influence and relevance to boost his own standing and it's the most cringe thing I've ever seen an American president do.
As a programmer that uses AI - LOLOLOLOL. I'm not worried yet. If someone promises you this works, they want your money.
I want reporters to start asking her if shes counting on a pardon from Trump
Sadly, I need vectors. Whose junk is weirder?
"I mean, it's one banana. What could it cost? Ten dollars?" L. Bluth
Or, buy a 3D resin printer and print your own.
Some of that time is on here, but I’m also spending less time on social media on average.
In related news, my visitation to FB has dropped by 1/2 in the same time frame (and it was already trending down)
Left over “rump” watches I suspect
I instantly heard the synth riff from Tom Sawyer on seeing this cartoon. We could have hung out, I play amazing air drums 😆
For me SNL is like a baseball game. Mostly boring except when it isn't.
I can think of at least 6 very successful American adaptations of British sitcoms, a few arguably groundbreaking in American culture, e.g. "All in the Family", which was derived from "From Death do Us Part". Why are they a bad idea?
The British mastered sketch comedy long ago and have a fine tradition of comedy programming. What exactly is SNL bringing to the table that the Brits actually need?
Arang: “draw me like one of your French poodles“
time to use Amazon like a search engine. Find the thing you want to buy and then go to the makers website. If they don't have a website, did you really need it?
Obama 2028
The Starling gets a lot of crap but really it's the under-rated backbone of the group.
I was 16 years old and working at an arcade in downtown, not long after Gorgar came out. I was closing the arcade and a single row of pins still had power, other wise it was pitch black. Suddenly GOGAR SPEAKS and scared the absolute crap out of me
I do need to correct the brand - it was Tareyton's
Side note, I’m curious if people still get the reference “they would rather switch than fight”? If I remember correctly, Kools cigarettes, which were mentholated and targeted towards the Black community, had an advertising slogan “they would rather fight than switch. Lots of meaning packed in that
Terry's writing has brought me more comfort on the hard nights than I could ever replay him for. I very awkwardly tried to thank him once at a book signing, but judging by the look on his face, I spouted complete nonsense centered around the word "challenging."
I've never wanted to travel so far for one show, but I love both Pratchetts and I'm pretty fond of Dan as well so the FOMO is real. Howdy from San Francisco!
I'm more interested in learning about how you talk out of your ass.
agreed. lets start with these two.
This is the same person who thought the District of Columbia was named after the country.
I started hating Adobe years ago so this really changes nothing.
I remember the New York Times. Didn’t they used to be a newspaper?
Donnie Yen is truly one of the last great action heroes
"They said, ‘Luther, we need intel on Hydra.’ So I snuck into their lair—disguised as a janitor—got two steps in, tripped over a mop bucket, and ended up giving a thirty-minute presentation on floor safety. They clapped."
That’s hilarious- that movie is marginal at best and he’s Nathan Frickin Lane. They should have begged him to brighten up that tripe.
I was just looking into that sentence and its credited to a Murphy's Law Joke Book (part 2) published in the 80's. The sentiment must be older than that, but that quote was more recent than I expected.
The idea that I'd take masculinity advice from this chowder head in the first place is hilarious. Then I read Water's 'rules' and my suspicion is justified. He's trying to project something he is not.
I bought a very tiny piece of The Oakland Roots for the same reason. I’m tired of seeing billionaires take advantage of Oakland.
I attended a Fourth of July event at Skywalker Ranch, where one of the deals was people should bring a homemade salad to share (believe me, GWL wasn't being cheap here, those were amazing events). My favorite salad ever was a pasta salad that looked similar to this.
Not for nothing but this and only this is how you interview these fucking ghouls.
If its the Ukrainians, please tell me they used Starlink to do it.
I'd vote for something outlandish sounding, like "Buyzi" because searching for "Simple Commerce" would be hellish.
I'm pleasantly surprised to see "The Quiet Man" on his list. It hasn't aged well but it's so well made and just fun.
A friend in Omaha, now in his 70's and retired, has been raising this alarm on FB and the comment section is... quiet. One comment that stuck out was a woman who "forgot about the number of seniors living on Medicaid in rural areas...the loss will be devastating". Disgraceful that its come to this.
That’s wild, I just watched it on a whim and had the exact same reaction.
Huh, I remember a news network called CNN... Small world...
I canceled my WaPo subscription months ago and give that money to The Contrarian now. Bezos really shit the bed.
Sounds like someone read Terry Pratchett
I watched “A Face in the Crowd” this morning and struck by how relevant it is. Kazan warns us of the dangers of populism and the movie ends with the main characters (Andy Griffith) downfall, but the political apparatus that put him in place is still there. We were warned.
gosh, its like award shows are self-promotional marketing events...
I'm of the opinion that the Bond films have already been remade with Tom Cruise as Bond.
Lots of people don't, which is a shame. It helps explain some of the unconventional story structure.
It was an originally a radio program which was only supposed to have a limited run. The books came later.
Good for them, now they need to address all the other nasty bullshit they’ve pulled off over the years.
Whats your point exactly? "Needing an education to ask the right questions" applies to just about every skilled task out there.
Do you have the same concerns about search engines? Someone could easily google mushrooms and get bad advice. AI is glorified search. I wouldn't expect it to be more or less accurate than that. If you rallying against people not using the internet to get information, thats a steep climb.
"agreement" is an interesting way of saying "kompromat"
Star Wars was a big deal for a lot of reasons that no longer really apply. Sci-Fi was not a popular art form before the 80's and there was a lot of stigma that SF wasn't "serious" art. VFX was in its infancy still. Star Wars is the big bang moment that gave us nerd culture as we know it today.
yay! A chance to filter out mouthbreathers. Thank you bluesky!
"Everthing's coming up Milhouse" has been an in-joke between me and one of my oldest friends forever, i.e. "everything's going great." so I was thrilled to hear @thatkevinsmith.bsky.social say it on a podcast in the same way!
As I get older, some of my fancies have faded, but your work always brings me joy and I thank you.
The Grammys is a promotional event, not a meritocracy. Your outrage only drives attention that keeps that self promoting train running. Stop watching it and just listen to Bey. No one needs the Grammys for validation.
I was struck by the Mignola-ness of the whole thing, and I mean that in the most complementary way. For example, his use of small repetitive patterns, like leaves or stars felt especially on point in this book. Like John Woo and his doves, it’s a signature element.
I’ll admit, my first thought was “I wonder if it’s the song Rock me Amadeus”
First time in a long time that I'm savoring a new title, taking time with each page and not just plowing through it to find out what happens.
Don't watch the new version of 'The Killer'. I'm still furious.
honestly, I'd love to see this, but I'd rather watch it already recorded because I like to skip back and review stuff.
Your interest and appreciation for folklore is one of many reasons I m a big fan. Very much looking forward to this project!
Gotta be honest, I was hoping to avoid Twitter BS here, but people insist on sharing rage bait. We know, we know. People say awful shit on X. Thats why we're here, not there.
I remember the early days when we all worshiped Edward Tufte and adhered to the "don't use iconography because it's inconsistent and has different meanings" philosophy, to which the internet said "hold my picture of a yellow glass with a cloud on top."
I’d say you’re half way there
Talk about tail wagging the dog. Any good marketer will tell you to meet people where they are, not where you hope they will be.
Yup. It was top shelf Cognac in a pricey bar to start with and probably a $5 stupid tax. Tbh, I'm not proud about it. In hindsight, who am I to yuck his yum. I was a booze snob at that time and it seems childish now.
Love your color selections! They look great and are not the typical paint schemes I might see.
The Carmen Miranda and Leo Gorcey Cinematic Universes finally crossed paths
I saw it in a movie theater and the power went out at about the 45 minute mark for 20 minutes. Talk about excruciating.
I’ve stopped giving any of these self important “news” businesses any attention. I use to think less of people who get their news from social media, but hey cable news media, you convinced me to try it.
Ah yes, the “I lost, ergo it’s my lawyer’s fault and I’m entitled to a do-over” defense. Sadly this appears to be a popular republican position
I keep thinking of that T-shirt that said “I ran into Tammy Faye at the mall” and was covered in smeared makeup.
Says the person who calls themselves “liberal loser”. Troll much?
Vivek lacks self awareness
lol, I’m a dumbass. I was thinking the subscriber number was off. More coffee please!
What’s the right number?
Fordlandia has entered the chat
I can keep waiting. Honestly, I’ve never once thought the bezel was an issue.
How many sites offer an rss feed anymore? Not as many as there used to be
Whatabout-ism of the sleaziest kind. What a cockwomble.
National Treasure!!
I once spent an hour explaining the differences between various cognacs only to end up serving Courvoisier and coke. I charged him $25 (1988) a drink until he left. smh.
Fake- like we get healthcare
Cause you know, smart people always need to explain how smart they are, good looking people need to point out how handsome they are, and popular people need to tell others how popular they are. His vanity and insecurity are pathetic to witness.
This past election had removed any perception I had of the press being “the fifth estate.” Self-serving hate mongers have replaced the five w’s with self promotion and vitriol and I’ve finally accepted that the only news worth reading is the AP.
