idk if "Last Voyage of the Demeter" will be a *good* movie, but I do know it's based on a four-page anecdote from the novel Dracula, which is three and a half more pages—cumulatively—than most Dracula adaptations bother with. so there's that.

before you decide making an informative video tutorial is simpler writing one out, you first must ask yourself, in all sincerity, "Is this topic more interesting than my voice is annoying?" (hint: no, no it is not.)

@restrictedpod what can I say? I'm a fountain of wisdom.

not sure what human liability needs to hear this, but commissioning an artist does not mean you get at-will revisions unto eternity. if you approved the work, then you approved the work.

struggling to fill an ADHD prescription? try this hack! first you take plastic tubs and throw all your dirty dishes and rotting leftovers and moldy laundry in there.

then you haul the tubs to 700 Army Navy Dr in Arlington and dump 'em on the DEA's front lawn

satire is the bear-proof trashcan of comedy

people who claim podcasts help them focus are baffling to me. like "Man, I need to concentrate, but this café is so quiet. If only I could hire a dude to sit three tables over and conduct loud personal phone calls for an hour or two..."

@Adobe ladies ladies please. put the shovel down. we already agreed to never give you money ever again.

[H @TheWrit_toWit]

actually if this really is it for TW I want you all to know that if you go on Tumblr and start spelling words like "kill" or "die" with an asterisk, you're gonna get bullied by a bunch of old queers. one of whom will be me. don't be a statistic.

well this has been a fun social experiment!

the worst part of being both socially anxious and hypervigilant is when you can tell someone wants to maneuver you into a position you've repeatedly told them not to put you in, but you can't call them out bc they think they're being A. Subtle and B."Helpful"

genres of media traditionally set in the Washington, DC area:

1. historical fiction
2. political thrillers
3. political murder mysteries
4. dramatizations of modern political events
5. existentialist cult-classics about the banal horror of the (N-VA) suburbs

if more than three people want literally anything from me at any given time then I want all three of those people dead. that's just how it is. yes this includes me.

anyone else sound like an offensive Jewish Grandma stereotype whenever they try quoting Don Corleone, or that a Just Me problem?

@etph0n3h0m3 IaWL: last like 1/3rd takes place over Xmas. George flees the house because he doesn't want to deal with a Xmas party on top of everything else (fair). then he yells 'Merry Christmas' at the end and... that's it. that's all the relevance Xmas has to the plot.

the Die Hard is a Christmas Movie discourse is hereby retired. introducing America's new favorite seasonal argument, Die Hard is More of a Christmas Movie than It's a Wonderful Life.

[H @TheWrit_toWit]

@etph0n3h0m3 DH: whole movie takes place over Xmas. John McClane is in LA to see his kids for Xmas. Xmas party is crashed by heist crew. emergency services impeded at every step by Xmas closures and logistics. Xmas jokes and references abound.

@restrictedpod okay well they can't both be lawful, if they're both lawful the first difference of opinion re: "the right way to do things" will spiral into passive-aggressive sniping till one of them adapts to fill the Chaos Niche. you want Hermione in the Chaos Niche?
