What Did Jack Do?: David Lynch sits in a barren room and interviews a monkey (with terrible Conan O'Brien quality fake mouth dubbing). What eventually comes out is a broken heart sob story, a mediocre lounge song, and an arrest on motive but no evidence. Jack won't be serving hard time on this. Dialogue's pretty … Continue reading "What I'm Watching: What Did Jack Do?, Isekai Quartet, Overlord"Read More »

I'll say up front I watched this in a couple sittings, it kept my attention mostly, but also I didn't like it and it's not entirely worth watching. What's mostly unbelievable are the caricatures. This show may be proof that artificial intelligence … Continue reading "What I'm Watching: Unbelievable"Read More »

See also: Facebook Cares Post-Facebook Microblogging Though since then, micro.blog has stalled out and is the ugliest, least capable of the social networks I'm connected to.
