@anthracite

1,058 miles.

@LexYeen Same piece of shit DA described a crusade against weed paraphenalia as "totally worth" the exorbitant amount of money the city spent on it. (https://www.oklahoman.com/article/5551315/prosecutor-in-norman-cost-of-prosecuting-glass-pipe-case-worth-it) Nuke their whole court building from orbit far as I'm concerned.

@frameacloud That's a very modern perspective, though. There's a *lot* of social and religious baggage around the application of birth names.

(OTOH, the term pseudonym only dates back to the 19th century, which would tend to weaken my argument...)

good thing you dumb fucking earthlings don't have coaxial biscuit technology, you'd probably just break it anyhow

@zx3 Oh, I am REALLY looking forward to rejoining DIS. Tonight ain't gonna work, massive headache, but I have been missing the cinema terribly. <3

beignets and etouffee at morning call (famous local cafe, recently revived) happened

so never mind the depression thing

tigers are simple creatures and today is definitely gonna be a tiger day 🐯​

I think I just really really miss people. I've felt doomed my whole life and been more or less okay. This is just the furthest and longest I've ever been from any sort of real-world OR roleplaying community.

Birdsite is a complete waste except for keeping touch with a couple of old friends and yelling at clouds. We haven't seen most of Peg's friends in person more than once or twice since we got down here. You critters are basically all I've got left.

And deep down I just can't convince myself it's not my fault.

Thank you for staying.

twitter becomes so much easier to digest if you just start from the assumption that everybody you don't know personally is a parody account

got those Norma Desmond feels something fierce tonight. "I'm still big, right? It's just the Internet that's gotten small."

just feeling very small and doomed and overwhelmed tonight, waiting for that sword of damocles to fall.

i guess things are technically ok. i'm almost caught up on work, i can probably get my first vaccination monday, and i think i have most of the pending stuff on my to-do list under control.

i just feel like it's all gonna be for nothing anyhow, because i'm so badly overdue for some life-wrecking disaster that's gonna sweep it all away anyhow and OH LOOK AT THAT I happen to live right up hurricane alley these days.

@001zlnv It's not nearly as sharp comedy as the original, but I kinda like it, and it's nice seeing something than the usual sociopathic comedy with these characters. It feels kinda like the Daria to Harvey's Beavis & Butthead. But yeah, I totally agree it doesn't land nearly as well. It feels both slow _and_ frenetic at the same time somehow.

okay just when i think the hypnosis kink is passe, meredith the mindtaker comes to make it look hot as fuck again. i haven't seen anyone that casual with other people's headspheres since lavavixens stalked the earth

show's not half bad, either, actually feels a lot more grounded and mature than harvey birdman -- the [ adolescent swim ] kids are gonna hate it because its gender politics are not gross and it's all covered in girl cooties

mark frauenfelder is the new precious roy

;p

@Austin_Dern That reminds me, there's a full episode of Spike Milligan's Q5 out there-- the show that legendarily made John Cleese afraid Python had been beaten to the punch-- and I still haven't sat down with it.

@xinjinmeng @Phorm My term for that sort of ADR trickery is "falling down into some butterscotch."

@xinjinmeng @Phorm Wow, I think you've just called out about 70-80% of my favorite neo-noirs and "prestige" dramas...

@KinkyTurtle "What did we learn, Palmer?" I should watch that one again, it's one of the few Coen Bros. films I haven't seen multiple times.

@Austin_Dern Oh, I've heard of the Bed-Sitting Room, never seen it!

What would you consider the most "difficult" comedy you've ever watched, for any given definition of "difficult" or "comedy?"

(I'm thinking about the subject because I'm about to start my fourth attempt to get into The League of Gentlemen's "Psychoville." It's one of those series that I keep hearing is rewarding but makes itself real difficult to love...)
