“MARV”

My name isn’t actually Marvin at all I just type things; there’s no unifying project here. Intolerable autocrat of tastes.

“Ford vs. Ferrari” is the story of Gerald Ford’s (Matt Damon) death which occurred when he was run over by a chronologically ordered succession of different models of the famed sports car (Christian Bale, who became several Ferraris for the role)

This Caitlin Clark stuff is totally bananas Every time a Black player makes any physical contact with her during the course of a game, 50000 sports talk guys who never watched an entire WNBA contest in their lives get on the air to try and start Civil War II

Surely this ropes crap is all just the constant deluge of pornography provided by the internet over the last 20 years I never heard a soul talk about shit like this in the 90s as a high schooler with numerous pervert classmates/acquaintances that never talked about anything but sex

I’ve upgraded parts on this humongous 1970 El Camino so that it now hits 100 mph in about 6 seconds and the engine sound is genuinely amusing. Like WHAPummmmmm getting slightly higher pitched with each gearshift; this would be terrifying irl

The video that was going around of the guy in Hawaii getting punched out reminds me of a point I wanted to make about how it used to be considered embarrassing to wear speedos or similar swimwear; used to be entirely the domain of pervert euros when I was a child

Knight Rider with a genuine 1982 Firebird would be one of the funniest shows ever made “Kitt chase that guy” “I’m trying, Michael but I am not as powerful as that Nissan Maxima”

The muscle car era is fascinating because they were like “yeah what young people need is 450 horsepower with hugely inadequate brakes and handling in a very groovy looking package”

The Jonah Hill thing is funny because I’m old and have arthritis and I was never some tough guy to begin with but I’m still not convinced he could beat me in a fight … all the jujitsu, the working out, etc and I still don’t see a guy I should avoid upsetting

I haaaaaaaaaaaate AI People who know nothing about a topic can now make YouTube list videos about the topic “narrated” by the AI which apparently has a setting for zoomer voice where everything ends in a question mark. This is the worst invention ever. I want actual information.

Natalie Cole “This Will Be” is a song that makes me want to never hear a sound ever again; my apologies to the late diva who had a fine voice but that song is aggressively horrible

Learned about this thing they used to have on some muscle cars called a “shaker” hood (just look it up, no room to explain) and now I’m imagining it on inappropriate vehicles like a 1999 Dodge Stratus or 2012 Hyundai Elantra
