Your parasocial guy crashing on the couch

If the only takeaway from all of this is the headline "AP removes article claiming that JD Vance never had sex with couch" then it's all been worthwhile.

JD Vance looks like a 26-year-old from a 1970s movie. I think that's why it's so hard to take him seriously.

True or not, I think he should cancel tomorrow's campaign stop in Chesterfield, Virginia.

God, even the things that JD Vance is ashamed of fucking are uninspired.

Now watching "Shit Saturday" on the Criterion Channel.

Something I learned the hard way when DMing tabletop games is that something you predict will be a "fun restriction" (such as a persistent antimagic field) can completely derail a player's enjoyment of a session, especially if the restriction impacts different players differently.

I can't wait for the GOP to unveil its "Prosecutors bad; Criminals Good" election hats.

I know that a lot of people have willfully forgotten the stress of the 2020 Covid lockdown, and there's a sort of unspoken consensus that we don't judge people too harshly for how they coped with it. But I feel like that shouldn't apply to the man who aspires to be the next Grover Cleveland.

How long until Kevin Smith makes "Jay and Silent Bob Are Dead" ?

1. Death Trapyoutu.be Better remembered for the controversy that surrounded its original artwork than for either its contents or its genesis, Hawkwind's comeback from the yearlong Hawklords hiatus is historically one of the lesser-celebrated LPs in their canon. Not only was it their worst-selling new album since their debut nine years earlier, but the sheer confusion that surrounded its release, and (erroneous) reports that it was largely comprised of outtakes and off-cuts, lent it almost black-sheep status. But its original CD reissue remains a powerhouse collectible, and this remastered repackage restores it to the front line of Hawkish attractions. No less than eight bonus tracks double the running time of the original disc through the inclusion of two cuts mysteriously substituted on the earlier CD (a studio version of "High Rise" and a briefly extended take on the title track), plus a clutch of demos and alternate takes and a period live performance of "Quark, Strangeness and Charm." It's still a confusing and, in places, disheveled album, but the inclusion of such live favorites as "Uncle Sam's on Mars" and the breathless "Death Trap" establish it as a true Hawkwind classic. ~ Dave Thompson Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1979 album from the veteran British Space rockers. The album, originally recorded in 1977-78, was the band's final masterpiece for Charisma Records that perfectly embraced the influence of the musical New Wave to deliver one of the most effective albums released during Calvert's tenure with Hawkwind. This expanded edition features eight bonus tracks: five previously unreleased including 'We Like to Be Frightened'. The album features such classic tracks as 'Robot' 'High Rise', 'Jack of Shadows', 'Death Trap' and 'PXR 5'. Atomhenge. Recording information: DeMontford Hall, Leicester, England; Hammersmith Odeon; Rockfield Studios, Monmouthshire; Week Park Farm, Devon, England.

Y'all love to brag about beating the hardest challenges of "Celeste" and "Dark Souls", but you know what's really tough? Staying awake during the prolonged denouement of a visual novel.

RIP to Richard Simmons and Dr. Ruth: two people who got us sweating to the oldies.

Kudos to the Calgary crowd for being able to properly count revolutions of Claudio Castagnoli's swing.

Someone should do a good restoration of old skate and snowboard films like the Totally Board series. Where’s Criterion on this?

Dildo, NL is actually off of Trinity bay, one bay to the North of Conception bay. This sort of journalistic malpractice is insulting! The photographer is from Dildo, though, so "Dildo photographer captures giant phallus-shaped iceberg floating in Conception Bay" is still a VERY solid headline.

Who's watching "Grizzly Man" on Criterion Channel before it expires? This guy!

They missed a perfectly good chance to call themselves "Sisters' Golden Hair Supplies".

I wonder if Fantasmas' MELF sketch was inspired by the old joke that ALF stands for "Alien I'd Like to Fuck".

I also have a sinking feeling that we're building to a three-way between Ospreay-Garcia-MJF. Guess who gets to eat the pin?

A literal front page story on today's Globe and Mail is about mushrooms growing from a beaver's corpse.
