@Metra my monthly pass just got a 35% price hike and limited to my line and zone, and the only words you have on that today: marketing drivel including the phrase “a great deal” but not including actual information. it’s like a hat on a hat but with kicks in the crotch instead of hats.

@dankmccoy and i know he's irish. the character is english. plus, he is an OBE despite not being a british citizen, which i think makes him more british than most brits.

@dankmccoy alas, Dr Fate could have finally been the role Brosnan was meant to play: a charming but mysterious englishman who's always saving the world while somehow making weirdly-old-fashioned look cool-as-hell

so when is @_joshfudge going to be on @heyriddleriddle? this is an inevitable event, lets pin it down.

@_joshfudge @heyriddleriddle haven't finished that @heyriddleriddle ep because i am still bathing my soul in the etherial vibes of Fudge. they did this before with a metallica mailbag theme song. i listened to the first three albums--ride the lightning twice--before going back to the pod.

Woke up today to a @heyriddleriddle podcast episode named after me, and honestly it was hilarious 10/10

@erinrbowles i’ve read the books several times, and delved into JRRT’s scholarly works and personal essays, but you will never get Merry and Pippin’s relationship until you understand that that Merry is Team Edward while Pippin is Team Jacob.

hard reset - watching LotR for the first time (pt 4)

the only place in Hell worse than the one reserved for the person who invented the car alarm is the place in hell next to the one reserved for the person who invented the car alarm.

do trans-hostile people get angry at light, because they don't know if they should call it a particle or a wave?

@stefabsky add Carl's Jr. to the list. does Carl have a Junior? if he did, wouldn't that just be Carl Jr.? the Carl is possessive. does Carl just OWN Junior? whose junior is Junior? owning people is a famously Bad Thing: why don't they just call them all Hardee's!?

“grosse pointe blank” is the “ruth’s chris” of movie titles. what in hell is any of that supposed to mean

@dankmccoy In the chill of night, At the scene of the crime Like a streak of light He SPUMPCs just in time

it feels like Emily Brontë is going to sue the weather for copyright infringement

@OffBookPod needs more Clark in 2022. i just re-listened to 212 and i am obsessed with Clark and the fund he trusts. i dare #offbookpod #musical to include Clark in every episode of 2022. --drops mic in front of completely empty auditorium-- #clark2022 #makeamericaClarkagain

@ShariaUncle please post the address of this place because it's not showing up in google and i will absolutely get on a train and walk however far it takes from Ogalvie to give these people money. also you are required to record an episode of anime sickos in this place, while eating corn dogs

@ShariaUncle i see. totally get that. but there is no reason they cant slowly introduce all the old mundane but great stuff back on top of the stupid/brilliant gimmick of king kong corn dogs. i have never wanted to eat a corn dog as much as i do right now.

@ShariaUncle if they also sell funnel cakes they should get a joint nobel prize for economics/peace/chemistry and Aubrey Plaza should unironically give them a trophy because that would be weird and awesome and perfect. i'm pretty sure she'd be down with that. because she is almost that weird.

@ShariaUncle okay, i'm going all in on this. if a business in a beautiful old building shuts down and another one takes over, what could possibly be better than a corn dog joint with obviously unauthorized king kong branding? i'm kind of amazed that you're not already friends with the owners.

@ShariaUncle there are so many much worse things that could inhabit a building in your neighborhood. if i turned the corner in my garbage suburb and saw this sign i would shit my pants with joy. goddam it i'd give a pint of my blood to burn my mouth on a corn dog from a corner store right now

@MIDImyers you have uncannily captured the way i feel about the A-Team, except that i am not at all tempted to revisit the A-Team, because, unlike female ghostbusters, watching the A-Team as an adult would actually literally ruin my childhood

@darinmbob @GOP dude. just… yes

Life is precious. Republicans will always stand for the sanctity of life.
