Given all the discourse today about Bluesky vs. X... seems like good timing for @lastweektonight.com's latest video on just how bad X has become...

"If you love Spider-Man so much, why were you so mean to him?"
Because that's the job of a Spidey writer.
To stack the deck against him.
Being Spider-Man isn't supposed to be easy.

"Treat every person you encounter as though they are having a way worse day than you." - Merlin Mann (@hotdogsladies.bsky.social)
being addressed as "gumshoe" while rockapella lays down a sick track could fix me
Misheard someone saying "carrying costs" as "carrion costs" and now just picturing rotting death being carried by a business, which, also fits!
Endwokeness tweets: "Star Trek cadets are now required to get DEI training from an obnoxious lesbian Yes, this is real" and embeds a video from Starfleet Academy.
In the scene depicted, the instructor is teaching quantum physics and temporal mechanics. She calls out a student who is being an ass and doesn't even know his classmates' names. But to bigots, the mere presence of an LGBTQI+ actor (Tig Notaro) is "DEI training."
You aren't actually overreacting other people are sleepwalking.

You used to be able to tweet the darkest jokes on the planet and go on to run a movie studio.
Now you've gotta move to text chains or Discord for that.
Saw this today and, same.
Iβve definitely had guilt over that too, though Iβve gone back to wishing happy birthdays more frequently as a way of connecting with old friends, especially when I can think of something fun/unique to say. π€
Gotta watch out who Facebook asks you to wish a happy birthday or they'll have you blithely wishing happy Bday to a dead acquaintance.
Just realized 2025 was the year I needed to reassess which side to take in this age-old expression:
Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?
... I'm just not sure anymore. π€·π½ββοΈ
the thing with thinking youre running out of time is that whenever you think it its undoubtedly true. Youre not delusional for thinking it at 18, 38, 68, etc.
But there is no more useful information to extract from that line of questioning so stop
Itβs already so long.
A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last

And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven
I wish you would

Looking back through my photos to when I saw John Cena on a fan event ahead of WrestleMania 19.
I never loved another version of his character more than his early heel Word Life gimmick, but he's always given his all to be a consummate performer, and I've got to salute that. π«‘
Iβm at a conference today for spiritual creatives!
But you BETTER BELIEVE Iβm rocking my newest John Cena shirt as he wrestles off into the sunset. π«‘ ππ½
