What’s the matter babe? You’ve barely your ornamental Santa Clause taking a dump on the sexy lady moon.

I’m half way through Season 8 and I am absolutely hating it. Every episode feels cobbled together from bits of episodes from its gokden age and the Scully and Doggett dynamic isn’t up to much. I won’t tap out but only because I’ve plunked so much time into it, but I’m rarely entertained anymore.

This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:

Here’s my tiny beautiful oldest daughter 12 years ago. The most adorable, beautiful thing I’d ever seen. Smash cut to yesterday when she said “If I ever get a boyfriend he damn well better be into grunge.” I really like being her father.

After Apollo 13 and retiring from the space program Jim Lovell became a corporate executive. Imagine having him as a boss and telling him some task might be difficult to achieve. “Difficult? Really? As difficult as say, oh I don’t know…”

Finished Barry. An incredible achievement in television and I’m bereft. There’s scarcely a decent human being in it (most are straight up monsters) but I miss them all.

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci! ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

Ok never mind. I got to the episode Hollywood A.D. and Garry Shandling as himself spent a whole minute of network television time asking Fox Mulder detailed questions about his dick. This show can still surprise me.

I’m now at the back end of X Files’ series 7, and to be honest the entertianment value has nosedived. Feels like it’s winding down now (despite there being 50 eps left of the original run)

I watched the 1968 original with my kid a year or two back and she A) loved it and B) figured out the twist in the first 10 minutes reasoning “the mountains and the sky and the water look the same as Earth”.

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything
