Scientists discover interstellar object flying through our solar system. Aliens taking a peek at our calamities, if you ask me
In a pretty bad ass moment for astronomy, scientists have discovered an interstellar object hurtling through our solar system. It’s the fuckin’ first, dude.

Views From The Space-Ship: Television is reality, and reality is less than television
Hey, comrades. How are you doing? A bit blanched by the banality of existence? A bit staggered by the Sisyphean grind that is consciousness? Well, how about I offer you a little distracting voyeurism? After all, that’s the point of Desktop Thursdays.
A look into my life! My existential, digital, and meat-case vibes.
Then, if you’re so inclined, provide me with a little material in the comments section. An escape for me through your own world(s).
Tom Hanks starring in sci-fi movie ‘Bios’ by a ‘Game of Thrones’ director. Remember Tom Hanks?
Man, I haven’t given a fuck about Tom Hank in a hot, quiet minute. But, I suppose the dude still exists. Not only that, but said-forgotten-and-now-remembered actor is starring in a movie helmed by one of the more prominent Game of Thrones directors.
Weekend Open Bar: And I Want My Scalps!
It’s the Weekend! It’s the Open Bar. Arriving not a moment too soon, too. For some reason, it’s been a long goddamn week. That ain’t a rhetorical opener, either. Don’t know why, but this week has run me ragged. The good news, oh the good news, is that I have two fucking weddings lined up to really put the nail through my emotional skull. But, I can’t complain too much. The weekend is stacked with merriment, outside of the culturally produced, economically encouraged social obligations.
I got scalps on my mind! Nazi-hunting on my mind. Got some (wait for) stranger things on my mind too, involving the 1980s and Lovecraftian monsters.
So, all in all, I suppose I ain’t too despondent about the weekend.
Walmart using shelf-scanning robots to audit its stores. This is how it fucking begins, dudes
This is how it fucking begins, man. First the robots are scanning shelfs, auditing them. Next thing you know they’re scanning us, auditing our worth. And oh, by the way, you’d probably notice our worth as a fact-denying, bloated, hateful corpulence isn’t that high right now. Their first strike fixing to be justified, the rate we’re going.
‘Fast and Furious 9’ being directed by Justin Lin, who never should have stopped directing them
I say it without irony that Justin Lin’s run on the Fast and the Furious franchise is some of my favorite dumb-action-movie directing of the past 20 years or so. Not only that, but the series suffered a marked decline (again I’m serious), when he left after the sixth installment. Dude can direct an action sequence, friends. So, this is fucking fantastic news to me.
‘American Vandal’ getting second season, in an balls-affirming vote for insight and humor
The first season of American Vandal gives you the old Mary Poppins treatment. Loops you in with a humorous satire of our pop culture’s obsession with true crime banality. Then gives you a fucking enjoyable one-two sucker punch of pathos, and an interesting commentary on high school and documentaries. When all is said and done, you’re left with a surprising amount to chew on, and a vague yearning for more of the series. Well, guess what. More is officially coming.
‘Avengers 4’ set photo (once again) confirms Hawkeye is Ronin in the movie
Seems like every damn week we are given yet another confirmation that Hawkeye is going to be donning the mantle of Ronin in Avengers 4. Well, it’s a new fucking week! Here’s a new fucking confirmation!
‘Deathstroke’ movie coming from the director of ‘The Raid’ and this news is so goddamn good
Man. The director of The Raid is going to be making a fucking Deathstroke movie? I’m, I’m in. A batch of the old glorious Gareth Evans ultrav iolence splashed across an ultra violent character? Sign me up. Superhero movies and shows have been ripping off his style since the original Raid dropped, so it’s about time he just entered the genre himself. Showed everyone how it’s done.
Ben Mendelsohn in talks for ‘Captain Marvel’ villain role. Give him every villain role, tbh
Ben Mendelsohn is a fantastic actor, who was villainously underutilized as the villain in Rogue One. As such, it makes me fucking stoked to hear he is in talks to star as the villain in Captain Marvel. You know, another crack at being appreciated in a blockbuster role.
