space, time travel, and schadenfreude

all time travel is space-time travel and maybe all freud is schadenfreude.

dear internetters,¹

here is something for today!²

1) i hope this one makes you happy:

the english word for “schadenfreude” could be “SADisfaction.”³

2) i also hope THIS one makes you happy:

just realized that the terminator movies
are basically about robots going back in time
to kill their baby hitler.⁴

3) i actually hope ALL of these make you happy:

at the time of the Big Bang
there hadn't been any other Bangs yet
so they probably just called it
The Bang⁵

so, that’s the Something for today.

i saved that gig for last because of this extra bonus treat, the picture below. it’s of that venue’s movie theater marquee (the venue is a movie theater as well as a comedy club) from one of my first times there in 2012, when the movies “the hobbit” and “the perks of being a wallflower” and “here comes the boom” were all advertised beneath my name, to make it look like they were all describing me, and then declaring victory in this roast battle i didn’t know i was participating in. it’s real fun. hope you can make it to everywhere you want to go. thanks again for being here. much love to all!

1. or possibly INTRAnetters? (the call is coming from inside the net? it does seem like we’re caught inside this net a bit.)

2. or maybe even, here is EVERYTHING for today.

3. would love for the rolling stones to cover it

4. this is not a haiku

5. on twitter, someone responded with a simple “they?” and someone else responded that that was their favorite part of what i had written. i’m glad they both responded that way. they. the they-way.

6. you can watch Nowhere from anywhere!
