Spent years in the video store trenches. Now I use my wisdom for trivia night. Minnesota by way of DC by way of Wichita Kansas Current Events: Future writer of “Dirty Harry Chokes On A Bagel” Currently watching thru every Looney Tunes release
My new PERISPHERE blog post is up! Monte Hellman’s TWO-LANE BLACKTOP reflects the way our lives move too fast, just as the lives of its stars did. Check it out! www.perisphere.org/2026/08/30/d...
Death Race on the Road to Nowhere – Perisphere
|Wil McMillen| Two-Lane Blacktop is a curious, dense race movie in which almost no racing actually happens. Instead, the film is haunted by the passage of time, by the feeling that life has passed you...

One listen to Be Here Now yesterday and now this 9 minute song has been stuck in my head ever since. I’m not complaining. It’s kept me cheerful on a stressful day. youtu.be/bdT8ixdxPX4?...

Was going to go see the new restoration of AKIRA in IMAX next weekend but changed my mind when I saw the 4pm show on Friday would run me $28. Fuuuuuuck that. I can buy the bluray when it comes out in six months for that much.
Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection
Listened to Oasis BE HERE NOW on the drive to work today and I’m still a huge fan of it. Best cocaine album ever.

Strategic Retreat: It's like running away, but more manly.
Me, looking to see if anyone from University of Minnesota signed so I knew who to go yell at on my lunch break on Monday. (There are none. I’ll enjoy my lunch in peace)
roterote@roterote.bsky.social · last wk.All of these people signed from Universities around the world. This is a clear example how easily it was for Nazi Academics to take over the academy in the 1930s and 1940s. People will defend people whose views would see them all destroyed and most in camps.
TV shows need to stop with the closing of the episode music montage trope.
Houston or Austin, well known cities for their cold temperatures.
The Athletic@theathletic.com · last wk.The NHL is on track to award its 33rd franchise to Texas as soon as the end of the year, deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Athletic.
I feel like they stopped looking at metrics when metrics told them we were more efficient working from home
Figured out my neighbor's harmonic resonance frequency and played my tuba at the precise tone required to transmute his atomic structure into that of a porpoise. Now he's flopping about on the floor making annoying porpoise noises and I am admittedly experiencing some remorse
I'm just going to say that my first boss at my current job said to me on my first day, unironically, "There's nothing that a good spreadsheet can't solve" and I knew instantly we wouldn't get along. Spreadsheet people are my worst nightmare as a comms major
It's impossible to express to someone who doesn't have children just how exasperatingly hard it is to be a good parent. It's the longest goddamn improv game ever and some days you want to jump off the stage.
Yuuuuuuup. "Don't Engage, Just Block" was a terrific ethos to have instilled early on, and when the main feed doesn't have an algorithm to promote shitty engagement, so much the better. Also why people here are unbothered by being smaller than X - most everyone here is actually real, and not a dick.
Ketan Joshi@ketanjoshi.co · 2w agoThis is 100% why people who've been on X for years now get so weirdly bummed out by Bluesky or any other site. It isn't that bsky is a 'bubble', it's that being a shithead in the replies gets you an immediate nuclear-block, rather than immediately rewarded with Skinner-box treats
Get one in eight rockets off the ground without them exploding first, then focus on “space mining”
David Burbach 🇺🇸@dburbach.bsky.social · 2w agoActual CEO of a space company people actually invest in says "by the early 2030s" -- just 5 to 7 years from now -- there will be mines and factories and large human workforce on the Moon, such that we'll be able to see lights of the lunar city from our front porches fortune.com/2026/08/17/b...
I love when advice for artists comes from people who clearly do not pay their own bills. "Feeling frustrated? Walk away from your desk. For at least a year. Go to Mallorca and make invisible paintings from the sea water you swim in at least 8 hours a day. You *have* to follow your passion."
Watching the final episode of season 3 of Ted Lasso and that needle drop of Stone Roses “Waterfall” made me giddy.
A s’more with graham crackes is good. A s’more with Lorna Doones is absolute heaven.
