I am still pretty salty about Muppets Mayhem not getting a second season.

Happy Life Day, nerds!

Watching Home Alone with Zoey and they mentioned stealing VCRs and Zoey just asked me what a VCR is. 👴🏻👴🏻👴🏻

Over the last two days I have seen many “your body, my choice” posts across various social media outlets. This is not clever. People are genuinely scared and hurting over the loss or potential loss of their own bodily autonomy and to tell them this is ugly, disgusting, and willfully evil.

If you are okay with people throwing this around, whether jokingly or seriously, then just unfriend me now and never speak to me again. If you think this is funny then I want nothing at all to do with you.

@jacklaridian Yep, for me this one has always blown away all of their well known hits!

@jacklaridian I’m sure it comes as no surprise to you that I love this series!

@jacklaridian I must have missed something in this movie because it just didn’t click with me… and I really wanted it to.

Still, it’s a win for comic book movies in general and for DC specifically, so I ain’t mad at it.

@jacklaridian Watched this movie repeatedly in my youth! However I made the mistake of revisiting it recently (criiiiiiiinge!).

@jacklaridian I forgot this was happening! I freakin’ love Watchmen and this trailer has me really excited for this.

@jacklaridian When it comes to political commentary, I completely trust Jon Stewart to call out anybody and everybody—he doesn’t play favorites there. Sure, his political beliefs are made clear and I feel they are aligned with my own, but he caters neither to blind devotion nor cult mentalities and for that I respect him.

@jacklaridian i bet I can guess who you were talking to!

@jacklaridian Hate is such a reckless endeavor and a waste of perfectly good energy. Love takes just as much effort and is far more fulfilling and rewarding.

@jacklaridian Hell! Yes!

@jacklaridian Oh you totally did that on purpose—you knew how he would respond! 😂😂😂

@jacklaridian I’m so tired of the whole “nobody asked for this” trope. It is such a stupid and lazy argument—they bemoan the lack of originality and then whine when something new comes along and takes a creative chance. If Hollywood only made stuff that audiences asked for, then there are would be so many magnificent and influential movies and shows that would never have come into existence.

@jacklaridian 😆😆😆

I saw an actual one in town last week. It looked even dumber in person.

@jacklaridian I LOVED Cloak and Dagger! I watched it repeatedly while growing up. ❤️

@jacklaridian You know, for movies that “aren’t cinema” Marvel still manages to attract best-in-class talent. Go figure! ❤️

@jacklaridian Abrams is involved? Well, I guess it’ll be a decent homage to something that was already done before… and with a shitty ending. 🫤

@jacklaridian Wait, music has an age requirement? Shit.
