Godzilla & Star Trek fan, movie lover, and generally whatever you call a nerd who is bad at math. I'm also a father, married, and over 40. So I am what you would call an elderly Millennial.

He/him.

A bit more about me:

*I am a cis white dude & would classify my sexuality as somewhere between bisexual & "heteroflexible"

*I have a son who is black/biracial

*I am married to a bisexual woman who is half-Korean. We have an open marriage, so she is very aware that I am horny on the internet

Me in 2005: "Jesus, Revenge of the Sith is dumb, how the fuck could a huge ass republic like that fall and roll over so quickly? Nobody put up a fight?"
Me in 2026: "I bet pundits on Alderaan were lecturing about #civility as the planet disintegrated underneath them."

this is a recurring thing that bothers me immensely. Treating morose or tragic or mean fiction as some sort of adults-only environment, despite that when I watched The Last Unicorn as a child my brain didn't notice harpy tits because I was transfixed by the animation and Amalthea's body horror.
Yeah, this is the piece I want to read. We all knew that Where the Red Fern Grows was sad! This was the point of the book! Your real-life childhood dog will die too and that's why there is art about it!

"I refuse to watch this one kind of sad thing" seems like a new development.
I feel like it’s reflective of something broader that social media has brought on. There’s a cycle where people are less open to media that makes them uncomfortable and companies are more squeamish about making media that can be uncomfortable.

If this figure were cheaper, I would probably be all over it. It's just plain neat.

Eventually I want to get that G.I. Joe set with the Deinonychus and the giant scorpion set, and then she'd have some great enemies to face. But they all cost a more than I'm willing to spend on non-Godzilla figures.

I do not think it is much of an exaggeration to say that British media is one of the least trustworthy institutions on the planet.

we’re watching the first Austin Powers, a movie that, next year, will be as far back from the present day as the thing it’s parodying was to the movie

Of course it’s not headlining that a Black former stripper was found dead in a TRASH CAN in Brooklyn. I’m so enraged about violence against sex workers.

How do we incentivize people to paint wizards on their vans again

I haven’t seen a wizard van in a decade and it feels like we lost something precious

Can we offer up a tax credit?

Little bags of shrooms?

Start a wizard van painting program at vocational schools?

I feel like Arnold was the one guy to truly hold the republican line about what the great goodness of America means in his heart and when they stopped pretending to believe any of it he looked around and was like fuck it I’m Bernie I guess

It's because...basically from what I can tell, for all of his personal failings, Arnie...is actually quite intelligent.

Like, he was a republican cause he was rich, but he's smart enough to go, "oh, huh, wow, these people are fucking insane and we're all going to die if they don't get stopped"

"china is charging their cars in less time than it takes you to fill up your F-150" is the kind of banal jingoism i always assumed would get us finally kicking it up a notch on serious infrastructure buildout but we were a lot more directly addicted to gasoline in addition to racism than i thought

they are going to come for your contraception, it is literally only a matter of time. I just replaced my IUD and if you think any of the long-term methods of contraception would be a good fit for you and/or your partner, now is the time to do it
MURRAY: The Trump admin falsely labeled birth control as abortion. Do you agree that an IUD is an abortifacient?

OVERTON: If confirmed, I'll be fully briefed

M: That's not an answer. The prospect of an FDA commissioner who doesn't know that birth control isn't an abortion is deeply alarming

O: 😊
