Biden should drop out. Then drop in. Then drop out. Then shake it all about before turning himself around. That’s what it’s all about.

As soon as the weather drops below 90F, I'm going to hike so goddamn hard in my local woods. I'll find the best walking stick and do the entire course twice while pretending I'm a wizard. It'll be so right and tight.

The thing is... Biden thinks it will work. In his heart of hearts he believes that he's dealing with people who can be reasoned with instead of what they really are: domestic terrorists.

I'd sooner believe them if that cat had a gun to its head, and the ad said: "Vote for us or the animal gets it." Much more on brand for them.

To clarify: I own everything that can be owned. "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" will never be released on physical media so that's why it's not sitting on my shelf.

IT ARRIVED!!! I now own every Godzilla movie and series (plus essential Godzilla-related stuff*) on physical media. From this day on, I'll never be Godzilla-less. *Includes The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (the film that inspired Godzilla), the orig. King Kong, and the solo Mothra and Rodan films.

TV shows are REALLY bad at writing ppl who only speak "a little English." Their English is usually too full of complex, idiomatic expressions and grammatical structures. You need someone for whom English is a second language to write believable dialogue for them. I'm available for script doctoring.

From the goober-faced “doge meme” Kabosu to Hachiko, the Akita who visited Shibuya Station to meet his master for years after the man’s death, Japanese history is full of good dogs. Japanese mythology, though, is a different story. Details in my new article:

Abolish every single "food rule," which is an insane concept btw, and embrace total food freedom. Eat your fish with red wine. If you like it, who tf has the right to tell you you're wrong? Eat your dessert before the main meal. PUT KETCHUP ON YOUR STEAK. IT'S FOOD. YOU eat FOOd how YOU like it ffs.

We got to stop fetishizing food and coming up with idiotic food rules. So some people like their steak well done. Shut the fuck up about it. It has nothing to do with you. Go play outside. Touch grass. Eat the grass. Eat the grass with mayo, I don't care. Also, try mayo/vinegar on fries. It's good.
