Oh no, the extremely niche lifestyle vlogger I follow is vague posting about a major and unexpected life update that surely is having a major impact to them and I keep fluctuating between weird parasocial thoughts, and mentally hitting myself with a water gun like "No! Bad! Let them LIVE!!"

Currently having a freak allergic reaction to, by my guess some new hair product, and my eyes have swollen up to crazy levels. Imagine a human Mr. Meaty character, that’s where I’m at right now.

@scottniswander.bsky.social is on a break from dadding to go see The Odyssey, so I’m doing the next best thing, watching Troy 😅

This is absolutely a movie they would be making in The Studio.

OFFICIAL POSTER - Johnny Depp is Scrooge in director Ti West's A Christmas Carol movie EBENEZER, in theaters November 13, 2026 from Paramount. Andrea Riseborough, Ian McKellen, Sam Claflin, Rupert Grint, Daisy Ridley and Tramell Tillman also star.

The Greek mythology nerd in me is really thrilled at the strong reception of The Odyssey, and how we might get other large-scale retellings. However, the bananapants negative reactions are beyond insufferable and I am sure will only become more upsetting/bizarre as the myths get stranger themselves.

Movie promoters trying to get me to excited for tentpole film by releasing the most bland trailer devoid of any plotline. Meanwhile, I pick out what movie I want to watch next by reading the plot summary from a Wikipedia article AS GOD INTENDED.

Calling the RFK Jr diarrhea strain “MAHA Blast” since it has now evidently infiltrated Taco Bell

Really hate how my brain is like “oh you are having a slightly difficult time? Please lightly maim any minor imperfection on your face as a form of stress relief. That will 100% help.” 🫠

The Bear season 5 slaps exclusively because of how frustrating and how much failure and rumination on failure proceeded it. This payoff doesn't work without constant fuck ups and repeating the same broken cycle until finally it clicks, despite it all.

Supergirl review: I had fun, it’s an enjoyable movie! I want even more Supergirl, please. I want more female heroes in general, please.

If you’re declaring SUPERGIRL the end of superhero movies but let MORBIUS, VENOM 3, KRAVEN, THOR 4 and ANT-MAN 3 pass with a shrug, you are telling on yourself.

While I haven't seen Supergirl, I've seen the Discourse, and it reminds me how much it seems like female superhero films and media must be PERFECT to be liked. Idk, maybe its only an okay movie, but I've seen countless okay male hero flicks, and don't remember this much finger wagging.

Finished Yesteryear today and I keep bouncing back and forth on what I thought worked and what didn’t, and my biggest gripe right now is how I wish the 1800s time line was a lot more substantial? Like that should have fully leaned into some dark Little House on the Prairie nonsense.

Setting my lock screen that shifts on when I am at the office to a photo of my baby is big "DO IT FOR HER" from Simpsons vibes 🥲

i have been writing about the virginia supreme court decision with a certain amount of analytical detachment but if i’m being honest i’m also fucking furious i took the time to go vote and then my ballot got tossed out by these dipshits

Picture it: upper 80 degree overcast weather, driving on the highway with a FAT Limeade slush from Sonic, you have a happy baby in the backseat, “I’m Alright” by Kenny Loggins is blasting, and you are going home to make lemon poppyseed muffins.

Not only is this our exact situation, we’ve had this exact conversation.

I’ve not been able to read this very fast because babies unsurprisingly need a lot of attention but every time I return to it they are always in the exact situation Em and I are in lol

Whole mixed bag of emotions on this. I’m really happy and grateful for the time I had off, wish I had a fuckton more PAID time. Also felt nice to just to be an adult, and focus on tasks that are not dictated by a tiny human learning how to be alive was also refreshing.

Scott (from NerdSync)@scottniswander.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Absolutely wild that Emily has to go back to work already. 12 months of maternity leave should be the minimum.

Hey so it’s like actually incredibly sick and twisted evil that my baby acts the cutest possible when he is peak exhausted, and if I indulge in how cute he’s being he rapidly turns into a gremlin demon from hell who refuses to nap even though that’s all he needs to fix his attitude.

My cat bringing me his preferred mouse toys while I nurse overnight is solidarity I think.

Starting season 2 of The Pitt pregnant, and ending it with a two month old for the season end has truly destroyed me fully for this finskr 😭

Infant manicurist might be the highest degree of difficulty of the “and other duties as assigned” kind of tasks for a newborn’s mom- like I would LOVE to do nails! Fun!! My participant is much less convinced that this is a thing they need.

How’s postpartum going? Fine, except that when I do get some sleep, I wake up with this phantom sensation that I am holding/nursing the baby, and then the baby disappears and I get so confused and disoriented. Makes me feel like I’m in an A24 film or something 🥴

To say we are obsessed with our little Valentine would be the understatement of the century. Thanks for all the care and support as we navigate the newborn trenches together with Baby Button ❤️

Scott (from NerdSync)@scottniswander.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Baby Button is happy and healthy, and so is Em! My paternity leave has started, and I just want to thank you all for allowing us to take time off for our little one! I’ll be back as soon as I can! There’s so much I want to talk about but right now my attention is fully on this little cutie!

It was such a delight to steal Scott’s seat on the pod for my own enjoyment (and also because he wasn’t feeling well) already plotting my next guest appearance 🤩
