With the success of SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY, THE ODYSSEY, BACKROOMS, TOY STORY 5, PROJECT: HAIL MARY, and SUPER MARIO GALAXY, it's clear audiences are hungry for original stories over tired rehashed IP, like the critics have been opining about for months... Hold on, I'm being handed a note.

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
The De Niro "People forget, they don't remember, they don't care" speech near the end of Killers of the Flower Moon may be the defining scene of our era. 77 million voted for the Violent Coup guy. Half the country doesn't remember the virus that killed a million people only a few years ago.
It’s the way she looks at me every day that makes me remember how good and pure life can be. Lovely, wonderful Hope, I’m the luckiest dog dad.
Thwip again, this time in Dbox. A rare three time opening weekend movie for me. It’s just that good, guys. It’s just that good. I really need Brand New Day right now, I’m so grateful for it at this time.
Life lately. And by that…I mean today. Hi, blusky friends! It’s good to see you again. Sorry I haven’t been around as much lately.
People who don’t understand tipping, and tip less than five percent on a $96 tab for a group of people, is going to be villain origin story. People need to get better about understanding tipping when they go out to a bar or restaurant. I know tipping culture sucks, but do better, damnit.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?
Book 38 of the year! I’ve heard nothing but great things about this series, and ten chapters in? It’s absolutely terrific! Cannot wait to dive deeper into the world of Dungeon Crawler Carl. @mattdinniman.bsky.social
The journey of cutting out alcohol comes with a lot of big moves. That includes getting rid of all the alcohol I used to mix drinks, etc. As of today, the bar is officially closed.
A little bummed tonight’s trivia didn’t draw more people. I really worked hard on this one, and I just didn’t get a real crowd for it. Super happy with the few team that showed, but still…Wish it had been bigger. A bit of a gut punch for the ego, just because I was proud of this one.

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.
Holy shit. My nephew is about to see my favorite Batman. This makes me so, so happy!

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

Y’all, don’t be like this guy. He’s been in my mentions the last day being a dick over the fact I’m going to to see Metallica live. Some people just can’t be helped from themselves. An easy block, but let’s all be better than whatever this guy’s issue is.
A democratic candidate just won in the *checks notes* Arkansas state house special election. Flip from R to D.
Gonna sit down and check out this fan edit of Halloween and Halloween 2018 known as Halloween: The Legacy Cut! Super interested in seeing how it’s been put together!

Okay if fucking Trump outlasts Bruce Campbell I'm fighting god barefoot in a Waffle House parking lot.
He originally said was going to cost $200 million. Then he said $250 million. Then $300 million. But now it's going to come in under budget at $400 million.
