janu21 in idea barrages

1.) People who hate cheat codes in video games that ruin competitiveness, that mean some people don’t have to know how to be good at anything, but don’t understand that inherited wealth is the same thing except with dire consequences in the really real world.

2.) Every time they try to say these walls and hats aren’t about hate of the other but love of the self, they prove themselves liars again. There is nothing to any of it but race hate. That’s all it ever was and all it is.

3.) No one would want to hear a Doors parody about an obscure NES title called “Rygar On The Storm” and part of life is learning to accept things like this.

4.) If your three stages of negotiation are “GIMMIE!” “NUH-UH, GIMMIE!” & “GIMMIE OR I’M GOING HOME!” you might be a terrible negotiator. You’re probably so fundamentally ignorant of business and dealing with people, you could bankrupt a casino.

5.) It is 2049. A series of films, extended universes, reboots and alternate realities have uncovered seven different secret siblings of Spock’s. CBS greenlights its long brewing master plan THE SPOCKY BUNCH.

6.) I realize that “Yeet” is like a meme thing but it’d be a great name for like a third-rate shampoo. “They’re outta Prell? They’re outta VO5 too? I guess I can use Yeet-Plus for a couple days.”

7.) I guess I’m the one person who really wants to shuffle Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies idea inspiration card set in with a deck of Cards Against Humanity and see what happens but I wear my sliver in that Venn Diagram as a badge of honour.

8.) Yeah yeah, the cool kids do the goofballs at 4:20PM but jump forward twenty years and they’re doing Sominex at 1:11AM.

9.) Winter finally came. Don’t know if the scars beneath will heal in time for spring’s return but here we are, in winter.

10.) Good news is my arm muscles and my general physical warmth held out quite well shoveling for half an hour and could’ve gone double. Bad news is my lower back and knees do not agree.

11.) Yeah, saying DIE HARD is your favourite Christmas movie, that’s cool. But do you know what’s REALLY cool? Saying REVENGE OF THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON is your favourite Clint Eastwood movie.

12.) The look on that MAGA kid’s face, the unrepentant glee in cruelty, reveling in unearned privilege over a person of compassion & accomplishment… if capital-E Evil exists, that’s it. That’s it right there. If you’re with them, that’s what you look like.

13.) Those really bad CGI kids movies that try to pass shareware animatics off as an actual film? Let’s call them “existing-asset-sploitation.”

14.) ACTUAL FLEETING THOUGHT: If we had the technology to safely teleport out our feces and urine, I wonder how often we would have to do a natural to keep everything in working order.

15.) REAL FACT: there are people still out there trying to make QR codes happen.
