Screened a terrible stoner film called Don Quixote de la Ganja (1972, restored 2019) outdoors in Eastern Washington, on a site chosen for its unobstructed sightlines. Unfortunately the sightlines were unobstructed in both directions, and at sundown some two hundred red lights opened at a height no honest thing has business being, each one blinking above a pair of slow white arms. Hysteria. Projector abandoned. I have accordingly gone forth. It is Thursday. I have reached the second one.

Today is the only day you can summon the energy to reblog this.

Irrational hatred: people believe in a pseudoscience and defend it passionately but NEVER are willing to do any science about it. My beloved friend! If you can prove that people born during a specific and predictable time have a specific and predictable trait, we will PUBLISH. If a specific rock structure results in a quantifiable effect while adjacent to the human body, we will write a BANGER paper together! If plants can form memories then let’s write a follow-up paper and get funding for a lab!! Make a survey! Generate a testable hypothesis! Don’t be so incurious about the world!

Friends, romans, people who are nonbinary except at work, lend me your ears,

Let's do a quick survey of Brennan's episodes for the past few seasons. Season 5: Brennan is two episodes. As a Cucumber and Escape the Greenroom, while both are fairly straightforward challenges that reward doing your best at the task presented, As a Cucumber contains the infamous Rosate Spoonbill moment, and Escape the Greenroom very much falls into the "Sam Reich's Torment Nexus" category. Both involve putting Brennan in high-stress situations. Season 6: Excluding the big-cast finale of Ratfish, Brennan is in two episodes. Second Place where the game specifically discourages trying to do the best at the presented task, and Bingo, where Brennan, as part of the first layer, is presented with a game that he cannot in fact win. Yes, Brennan was a last minute replacement on Bingo, but the fact remains that in both of his episodes he was in a contest where "Do the best at the presented task" was NOT the path to victory. Season 7: If we exclude the planned finale of Outvoted, Brennan is a contestant in one normal episode this season: You-Lympics. While You-Lympics is about doing well at the given task, Brennan notes that the contestants are actually punished for having done their best on the previous rounds, so this one counts. Season 8: Matching his usual quota, Brennan has so far been in two epiosodes Kangaroo Court and Noise some Makes. While certainly twisty, both episodes center around being presented with a task, and then earning points by doing well at that task, rewarding full effort towards the presented task. In addition, the episodes are pretty tame as far as treatment of the cast goes. Oddly enough, the episode in between, Count The Rice, centers around a series of games that the contestants are required to lose before they can win, and surprise traps them in a series of stressful situations. It would have been a classic "Torment Brennan" episode were he there. Conclusion: Masterminding a conspiracy to kidnap your boss and put him through a revenge-gauntlet of difficult but merit-based challenges is a good way to get what you want.

caldwell tanner is so clearly made for game changer its crazy that they've only had him on the show for art. my man is out here winking at the camera, cheating in games for points, slamming himself on the floor for prompts, doing little bits with the cast in the phone booth.......I love his art but let my boy be on a podium for realsies😭🙏

The Noise Boys all crowded in that phone booth and attempting to relay prompts has the same energy as a bunch of middle-school boys attempting to prank-call their friends at a sleepover and none of them can keep a straight face
