weird franchise

If a restaurant misspells “Brussels sprouts” on its menu, that is a fantastic sign. The Brussels sprouts will just be OK. Don’t order those. Order anything else, because everything else will be incredible.

It doesn’t matter where I’m ranked in the office pick ‘em league. What matters is that I am** right more than 50% of the time. **a coin I flipped is

My coworker - who had never heard of Wayne Static till I showed him a picture - said Wayne Static looks like what AI would spit out if you gave it the prompt “Wayne Static.”

@rangerdcast @m_busuttil Your boy Gareth is coming for your brand. (Around the 17:30 mark.) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wer…

@jj_mason @Pockymasterjay1 It’s specifically the start of one of my favorite horror movies, Kill List (2011).

@Pockymasterjay1 You’re not wrong lol

A month or so ago I had a dream where I was either playing or in a video game (it was hard to tell) and part of the game was finding these hidden totems called Wishboons. I don’t know what they did but I haven’t stopped thinking about them since so I made one

@MathewGroom Whichever one you mean, you’re right! But really someone in that writer’s room is train crazy. They found a way to sneak trains into their medieval pacifist show AND their steampunk antifascist show.

@ThatAlexD I really should watch that show one day…

@MathewGroom Your train movies list needed more train robberies like: - Shanghai Noon - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - the aptly named The Good, The Bad, the Weird - Fast Five - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Are these good? Who am I to say?

@MathewGroom There’s also a weirdly accurate homage to the train chase from Butch Cassidy… in a train scene in Avatar the Last Airbender. And The Legend of Korra is absolutely brimming with trains. Hugely plot-critical train fight scene toward the end of Season 3.

If this doesn’t give you some fodder for a Trainger Danger, I guess I’ll have to go dig up ghost train trivia.

I’m… I’m so tired. Tired of people who set their fingers to the keyboard because they *need* to /explain/ something in a very !important! reply or comment. Tired of people who are not horrified into humbled silence by what they see.

@patking13 They didn’t even bother tapering it slightly to look like it connects to Pitt in the background: that arm’s coming in fucking sideways.

@ThatAlexD I've never looked close enough but WHOSE HAND IS THAT. To say nothing of the extremely clear outline on Pitt's face overlapping Norton.

Respectfully, no. The layout / color balance is great. The photoshop is absolutely atrocious. The horrible lighting and shadows have driven me crazy for years. It’s almost artificial enough to feel like parody, but it falls short. So it’s not an all-time great poster. It’s bad.

@drmistercody @katystoll @SomeMoreNews Hey, big fan of the pod. Less of a fan of the ads running in Texas that shout at me: “AUSTIN LOVES GUNS!!”
