Jeopardy! but it’s one of those sex thrillers from the ‘90s starring, like, Stephen Baldwin.
Great news. Excited for this one.

[Benoit Blanc during a Reacher Christmas episode crossover] Listen, son, I myself am of the conviction that violence is the crude weapon of an incurious mind, but I will admit that my gigantic friend here makes the most convincing argument I've yet heard on the virtues of expediency through force.

Of all the classic #StarTrek spin-offs I miss the most, it's the short-run sitcom, EVERYONE LOVES SISKO.
The same post that inspired me to binge three seasons over the last few weeks…
Micah@rincewind.run · 2mo agonow that we know how the new season of Reacher is (excellent), a thread about why you should watch What If A Man Was Large, The Show, in the form of a Q&A
S1. What if a man were big? S2. What if a man were big and someone tried to kill him? S3. What if a man were big, and there was a bigger man? S4. What if a man were big, and he found a small cat?
Every time I watch an episode of Reacher I'm reminded that someone here (I forget whom, sorry) quipped that the entire premise of the show is "what if a man...were large?" and god if that isn't true.
“There’s a new Mr. Beast book.” You bolt awake in your workshop in Mainz. It’s 1450. You’re Johannes Gutenberg, and you’ve changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Your printing press must burn.
The flood of commentary about how bad, nasty, etc. Canada is for not submitting to a trade deal (?!?) is, to my eye, transparently an attempt to move the discussion away from Iran going terribly. The media, of course, are deeply compromised by billionaire owners and thus are playing along.
I think it's great when people fly their red flags proudly for others to see and avoid early. It does sound like Daniel's been hurt in the past, but also has not really processed it into something healthy or ready for something new.
i’m just ken@shepardcdr.bsky.social · last mo.hey i’m gonna fucking crash out lmao????
Ozymandias shoulda made two monuments so he could have told people to look upon his works ye mighty and de spare

Full text of Mark Carney’s speech yesterday. Here’s a line that few are reporting but that seems crucial: because the US no longer can make—or wants to make—credible commitments, it’s kneecapped its own ability to reach agreements. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/spee...
![Our government understood, before many, that America would transform all its commercial relationships. That it would put a series of tariffs on its closest allies and use
economic integration as a weapon. That its signature was
written in pencil. [Last sentence emphasized by poster.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ozdrbxl62t6spw75ew3kgegn/bafkreigqyc4df5zcm2qs2udy2wpvnbdoavgqtkm6cyggdj7j72uozsf5gq)
An all-timer for me. A perfect distillation of the fantasy, with incredible free-form play, but just enough specific objective (find your family being the big one) to make you want to optimize and replay. Only experiences I've had close to it are Mount and Blade and Star Sector (both rule).

Watching the tangerine totalitarian manufacture new crises to distract people from the last disaster is exhausting. Lashing out at an “easy” win in a desperate bid to be the big tough administration before even wiping the bloodied nose from the last go. Carney’s doing the right thing. 🇨🇦
Thanks to some random neurons firing and reminding me this existed: allow me to present the only Garfield comic strip to ever make me laugh out loud, and almost certainly not for the reasons Davis intended.
After that fantastic Warhammer III trailer for the end times DLC (www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH9V...), it's time to re-watch PNW's fantastic summary of Thanquol the Grey Seer's story. "Not just a silly rat-man, THE silly rat-man." www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmSy...

Someone told me "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Vast and Trunkless Leg of Stone, Standing in the Desert from classic poem Ozymandias.
