Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

Listened to the latest Analytic Dice pod where they review Bite the Bullet. They go /hard/ on the game design - in a good way. Dang buds don't say peep about my bomb-ass design.

It minimizes people when you "manage" them with lies. They don't need to be managed. Just tell em the truth - they can take it.

Man it aggravates me so much when folks expect me to lie on their behalf. Like, maybe just try telling the truth? It's not even something worth lying about. 1/2

My dad took me to see this movie as a surprise when it came out in 1979. I can still remember the marquis and standing in line to get in.

Funniest comment about the Minneapolis protests today was a reporter saying "It's 5 and freezing out here." Bitch if it was 10 we'd be wearing shorts.

"It's 5 degrees and freezing." LMFAO - for Minnesotans this is almost shorts weather.

Hey Siri, is there a fan club exclusively dedicated to Anson Mount's hair?

β€œToday is a dark day.
You may feel afraid.

You may ask yourself: could I be next?
And if you have to ask, the answer is yes

So relieve yourself from the slow-motion uncertaintly of the inevitable.

And join together in a collective rage
To stop these motherfuckers.”

I will not say this right, and I know how this comes off from me, probably The Whitest Person Ever, but Black folks have been raising this alarm for, like, always.

Two cars parked on the side of the street in a snowstorm, one with its wiper blades up and one with them down. In Minnesota you always put your blades up or they will freeze to the windshield.

Native versus newbie. (You might have to zoom in to see why.)

Also Tim Curry would have been the best Jack Sparrow and the fact that they didn't do this is a shame.

Pretty sure you could do Muppet Treasure Island as a Star Wars adventure without changing much at all.

P.S. Me as a skeptical kid was like "Ha, let's find out." and did the experiment. Nothing happened except me becoming bored in a closed bathroom. I told the kids when I came out that she showed me a bloody axe and said the time of of my death, because that's how I do.

Do other (non-US) countries have the "Bloody Mary" urban legend? When I was a kid, you went into a dark bathroom and looked into a mirror and said "Bloody Mary come forth" and if you did that enough times she would appear.

I subscribed my best friend to The Onion print edition. Nothing I think he'd like more, but probably wouldn't do it for himself.

Merry Christmas, bud ❀️
