We have a really great local mechanic, and before a big road trip we take the car in for a “trip check”. I’m a car hypochondriac, so a personal inspection will only convince me that every hose and belt is going bad and that I did all the fluid levels wrong. The trip check costs around $50 and it gives me that value…

Congratulations to the Daniels! I’m going to watch the “Turn Down for What” video to celebrate.

Just a reminder that the perfect Tetris short film has already been made:

I would have added the casual yet sublime Laid Back Camp to the list, but otherwise I have no complaints.

I am a huge fan of noir detective stories, and OddTaxi really scratched that itch for me. It’s wonderful!

Aggretsuko season 5 is premiering this week, not ending. I saw “finale” and felt like I betrayed my beloved Retsuko by ignoring the whole season.

I’m looking forward to the new Fawlty Towers starring Gina Carano and James Woods. Special appearance by Kevin Sorbo.

For some reason my browser never loads those TikTok windows, and I’m beginning to feel grateful for it.

“Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head” is a great song, but it was a weird song to put in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

This reminds me that I haven’t watched Dark City for a long time. The director’s cut is awesome!

I’d rather watch Michael Palin just eating a sandwich. He’d bring warmth and humanity to it, and it would still be very funny.

I love the front row seats! Our local theater has reclining seats and foot rests for the front row so you can slouch like a puddle of meat. And being so close to the screen makes it a very immersive experience, especially for action movies.

I was happy to see a really old game come back on Steam recently. I bought Montezuma’s Revenge for the PC back in the early 80s, and shared it around my ninth-grade computer class (PC version on front of the floppy, Apple version on the back!) which in retrospect led me down a lifelong path of piracy.

This is some dark shit. Time to back away from the pop culture. This is fucking you up inside.

Remember that if you choose to keep a rooster, everybody in a quarter-mile radius will fucking hate you. Roosters crow at sunrise, but also before sunrise, after sunrise, and any time they damn well want to. 

And duck meat is so much tasier than chicken!

Be careful flashing your lights or otherwise signalling someone that they should “go first”. If you do so, and the other person then gets in an accident, you could be held partially liable for that accident because you communicated that it was okay for the other person to go.

Can you please start dropping the period from “Warner Bros. Discovery”? I always assume the period is the end of a sentence so it makes it hard to read. It just makes an annoying company a little more annoying.

I recently watched a few Laverne & Shirley episodes, and they still hold up. It seems like the show has completely disappeared, which is a shame because it’s hilarious.
