Last week I ranked my top five inedible objects I wish I could eat, inspired by an episode of Watcher’s Top Five Beatdown. I had a lot of thoughts on their lists while I was watching, so I said I would post my reactions, and here they are! The way the show works is that… Continue reading Top Five Foods Ranked: Reaction Post

A few weeks ago I was watching Watcher’s Top Five Beatdown (tied with Too Many Spirits as my favorite show they make) and I realized I should do another top five post, but the categories they had done so far this season didn’t really inspire me. I thought “things I want to eat but I… Continue reading Top Five Inedible Objects I Wish Were Food

I have complained, at length and on many occasions, about Facebook’s attempts to get me to engage with their platform more- which involved flooding my feed with random posts from people I don’t know and groups I’m not part of, which I can’t get rid of or turn off. It’s mostly useless garbage (lunch specials… Continue reading You Really Think Someone Would Do That? Just Go On the Internet and Tell Lies? Part Two

Mini post because I just totally completely forgot to write a post this week until it was too late! Scams are everywhere in the modern world; we all know this. The phone call from “your grandson; don’t you recognize my voice?” who was just arrested in Mexico; the text message that says your parcel couldn’t… Continue reading Mrs. Marion Gadsby: A Scam

I didn’t really have anything in mind to talk about this week, so this is just a mini-post about something I’ve really been enjoying this summer- the Dracula Daily and Moby-Dick Summer substacks, both of which I’ve talked about before. Substack is a platform for subscription-based writing- so people can sign up, either for free… Continue reading Substack Novel Appreciation Day

Social media is full of lies; we all know this. Even beyond the misinformation and the MLM stuff and everything, people are constantly making stuff up. I think my least favorite genre of this sort of thing is the Instagram influencers who post carefully curated pictures of themselves without makeup and/or crying with captions about… Continue reading You Really Think Someone Would Do That? Just Go On the Internet and Tell Lies?

Perhaps you have seen ads for Merge Mansion, the item matching game I’ve previously spoken about on this blog. They’re famous (infamous?) for spending a LOT of money on their advertising, including hiring Kathy Bates and Pedro Pascal to do videos that imply the game is a chilling, fascinating mystery- when really it’s just Candy-Crush-style… Continue reading Merge Mansion Unmasked – Part One

I know just from the title some of you are wailing and gnashing your teeth, because you hate poetry. I understand! For I was once among your number. But now I love poetry, and I wanted to gather up a little collection of my favorite poems and talk about them. To be clear, the point… Continue reading Poetry Round-Up

I love personality quizzes! They’re silly and meaningless and fun. My problem with popular, Buzzfeed-style personality quizzes is that they’re too easy to rig- if they’re going to assign you a season or a character from a show, the answers are way too obvious. Jokes about H*rry P*tter houses are probably the most obvious example;… Continue reading Fun with STATISTICS

Recently one of my favorite podcasts- Canceled, from the Australian company Mamamia- did an episode on Lindsay Lohan. During their discussion, the hosts mentioned a movie I had neither seen nor heard of, which Lohan starred in. The film, I Know Who Killed Me, sounds truly unhinged in a way few others have managed. The… Continue reading A Great Idea for a Terrible Movie
