Dakk reakts to: THE NAKED GUN reboot teaser

 So this has been in the works for a while and I have a sneaking suspicion that they're gonna go the sonic route here and blow our socks off with quality.....on the surface having Liam Neeson reboot TNG and be Frank's son sounds like a LEAP buuuuuuut honestly I'm here for it. I'm all about this, I love the tone of this trailer.

Howwwwww Nifty: Wintergatan

Starting off this article with a tease, a sizzle, a taste if you will….. this is simply a pianist reacting to WINTERGATAN (which, if I’m being honest…… not sure if that’s the artist or the machine—maybe both?). I discovered this channel yesterday and went down a rabbit whole and I must say: I’m impressed. While I was perusing this content I also came across a video of Mark Rober and a talking piano, literally, but that’s another subject for another day… in the meantime CONTINUE READING for the low down

Came across this in the wild: and it's......... intriguing

 So there I was minding my own business doomscrolling today and what do I stumble across? How about, oh I don't know, THIS GEM right here. What we have before us is a well articulated snapshot of a freaking fantastic time in music.. Soooooooo, thoughts? feelings? agree or isagree? Discuss, please, I'd like to know your thoughts

March Meme Madness! (I think this is the first Round-up of the year)

 

MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES

That's right, been a little weird around here with all the new posts but none of them are MEME ROUND UPS! This has been a fun tradition going back ......shoot...... at least a decade. 

For those who are new and don't know-- I fight in the MEME wars, been a soldier since 2009. Periodically I throw up my nets and dredge my social media feeds for some DANK memes and good laughs. So if you continue reading you'll see some notable ones I've recently found. With our current political landscape there is obviously a plethora of material available but I'm keeping it fun and light hearted and steering away from the politics on this one. ENJOY!

When Science IS magic: Turning CO2 into FUEL

 

(Image Source: here)

Just came across an article on GIZMODO.com that is: 1. Super neat-o, 2. Straight Sci-fi and 3. Groundbreaking

The image you see above is from a reactor created by researchers at the University of Cambridge, no it isn't a FAKE HEART either wakka wakka. "What kind of reactor is it Mr. random blogger whome I've never met but I assume is extremely handsome" You may say (and schucks for that, you made me blush)

and to that I answer with: WELL..... it is one that, ohhhhhh I don't know maybe one that..... let's just say

one thaaaat collects CO2 by night and turns it into a useful gas by day. (No big deal, except wait....yes a VERY BIG DEAL)

Kathleen Kennedy is (NOT) retiring

 

That's right folks. You just read that right. Today (Feb 28, 2025) she addressed the week long rumor that she will be retiring. So........ COMPLETELY sidestepping the hot-button issue of her helming the STAR WARS franchise and the division that it has directly/in-directly created over the last decade, here is the scoop in case you missed it (continue reading for more!)

Get your Nirvana albums ready: Batman Update for Robert Patts

 

I have been strangely patient on updates for the sequel to THE BATMAN since the first one came out. I've been wondering about it's existence ESPECIALLY since James Gunn got the keys to the kingdom of DC's film universe. There's been small details here and there, minor updates, projected release dates but nothing super concrete or inspiring. Today I found an article that echoed my sentiments on the topic at hand and here's my findings (Continue reading for the full rundown)

Dakk Reakts to: Andor Season 2 trailer (woot woot)

I just found out that the ANDOR SEASON 2 trailer dropped yesterday. 

OH MAN, OH MAN, OH MAN, OH MAN, OH MAN, OH MAN.......

I am pumped about this. So going off that same energy, I shot a 'REAKT' video for my twitch channel

(which BTW click here to like, follow, sub, or simply VIEW stuff). Not really much else to say about that, CONTINUE READING to watch my reaction video. 

The Blackhole in the Milkly Way is doing some straaaaange things (don't worry we aren't gonna die....yet)

 sorry to burst your cosmic bubble but this is just a still image of GARGANTUA from the Awesome sci-fi flick INTERSTELLAR. Maybe you already knew that, maybe not, either way full transparency....

(Image Source: The movie "Interstellar")

So I was reading some science articles today, and one tends to do, and I can across some galactic gossip: We got some crazy flaring going on in what was described as ranging from "flickers to brilliant eruptions" going on in the supermassive blackhole Sagittarius A* (pronounced A-star). 

TWISTED METAL season 2 Trailer just dropped

 

First off I'm just gonna come out and say it.... You're gonna have to forgive this RAW AF review of the trailer. I have always wanted to do these but usually get so excited and caught up in the trailer that I don't capture the reaction or forget to record it alltogether. But not today! (Also....come to think of it, I just GOT A DOUBLE KILL on Anthony Mackie content today)

Captain America: Brave new wreck?

Let's Flip a coin: Is cap 4 gonna bomb, succeed, or just MEH it's way into audiences of the MCU?

 

Say what you want about how 'woke' marvel is, and have your opinions on skipping Bucky and going straight to Sam......please. No, seriously, please do-- You can have different opinions about how Cap is being handled and by all means take that discussion to the comments (as long as you're respectful about differences of opinion), I want to know what you think on this topic. (continue reading for the scoop)

Sorry, this is short and sweet but it made me laugh....

 Who doesn't love/hate a good troll? Seriously. Even Star Wars has trolling (evidently). I came across a video from a comic where Darth Vader is getting trolled by one of his employees/soldiers/co-workers (IDK what the proper label would be, but somebody in the Imperial Navy aboard a ship he was commanding).

The best/worst part is when the person who is getting trolled flips the script and trolls you back hard, because in this case Darth Vader is straight up RUTHLESS about it when the ruse is discovered. Continue reading to learn more! (and maybe chuckle a little bit.

Lake Michigan Stonge-henge: what I found

(image from: archaeology-world.com )

 

Sooooooooooooooooo I'm sure you just scrolled past my Wife's Birthday Post (well I'd wager you did because it is like 2 articles up ^^) but Here's something that I'd like to talk about because it is friggin cool.

But to reiterate-- I just found out recently that MICHIGAN HAS AN UNDERWATER STONEHENGE!!!! Yeah that's right! aaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm michigan classic fashion there's a fun twist that keeps the destination from being oversaturated by tourists-- It is underwater in Lake Michigan :-)

That's right lords and Lasses, we got ourselves our own monolithic structure so SUCK IT ENGLAND! (except you Leanne, much love)

In 2007, a team of underwater archaeologists stumbled upon a pattern of rocks that appeared to be arranged in a geometric formation. Unlike the well-known Stonehenge in England, which consists of massive stones stacked in a circular pattern, the stones in Lake Michigan are not stacked but seem to form a distinct shape. This has led to speculation about their origins. (Michigan4u.com)

My Buddy did a thing.......AND IT'S EPIC!!!!!

 So I know this guy......well I've KNOWN this guy..... infact I've known his WHOLE family my WHOLE life (practically). I've been friends with his little brother since I was like 3 or 4....... BEST FRIENDS with his little brother almost my whole childhood. Their family introduced me to all the good stuff: STAR WARS, the ALIEN franchise, PREDATOR, Jurassic Park.... When we were little we rocked POWER RANGERS, TMNT, Biker mice from Mars, MORTAL KOMBAT. Basically me and the Caferelli Boys blew through ALL THE BEST pop culture stuff together growing up, and IT.WAS.TIGHT! 

........Definitely went on a tangent there, TOTALLY OFF TOPIC. Point is...... There's this youtuber, goes by the name DADDYDELICIOUS and he is a PHENOMINAL CHAP. seriously. Such a good dude, such a stand-up guy for other people, such a warm person to be around. He has a heart of gold and a drive to enjoy life. His channel documents his food reviews and his happenings with both his crazy projects (this is why we are here) as well as his charity work through the GHOSTBUSTERS Detroit chapter. We got to work together on many media projects through our mutual friend JOHNNY FLYNN and his media company COURAGEOUS LION STUDIOS. <-----That's right there is an article in and of itself. 

(Pictured Above left to Right: Daddy Delicious, Ernie Hudson, Johnny Flynn)

But here's the bread and butter why you're here....... DaddyDelicious is a chap like myself, he just DOES things. Not for fame, or fortune, or notoriety, or even recognition, no-- People like us typically do things for one main reason...... BECAUSE IT SOUNDS AWESOME and we gotta know. So that being said:

HE MADE A FLAMETHROWER (legally of course)!!!!!!

Who doesn't like seeing cool stuff like that? I know I do....

Today is my Wife Nancy's Birthday!

 Happy Birthday Nancy, I just want to say I love you....cliche I know, but I do.

Hasn't exaCTLY BEEN a whole ton going on round these parts.... I just discovered something that I'm going to be typin an article up for in a few days-- At the bottom of Lake Michigan, a few years ago a stone henge-like structure was discovered sooooo that's a thing.  

Wholesomeposting Because why not?

 Sometimes we need to take a break. You know, kick back. Unwind. Sometimes we need to smell the roses and this is a moment for that. I could spend my time making political commentary or doom and gloom over this and that but I'm not going to. I found this clip and it's awesome. I'm prolly going to DATE myself with this post because these two individuals are a part of many childhoods, and a very specific demographic but I don't care (It's just too cool to pass up and I'm not going to be THAT guy). Continue reading to see the rare clip these two shared together. It's just random enough to be epic

Boy what a day: a TIKTOK melodrama

 BREAKING NEWS: INTERNET COMMUNITY LOSES IT S*!t when Social Media platform is banned (but is likely just a farce and will be reinstated soon)

Titles says it all and I'm here for the commentary. HAHAHAHAHAHA

Many Americans awoke on Sunday January 19, 2025 to TIKTOK being inaccessible and were shocked despite all the coverage and notice on the issue prior to the ban.... Many people are calling this block on a PRIVATE BUSINESS platform a breach of free speech and their first amendment rights despite actually understanding how the first amendment works (and I'm again I'm here with the popcorn). Multiple sources report (not really) that people are appalled and shocked by this decision despite the myriad of other platforms with equal amounts of brain rot and doom scrolling.

Dead Internet theory is gettin pretty crazy I tell ya

"In 2013 THETIMES report that Youtube traffic consisted of an estimated 50% bots....."- WHYFILES

THE NUMBERS ARE GETTING WORSE as well.

The Run Down:

Dead Internet theory is defined as:

theory that asserts, due to a coordinated and intentional effort, the Internet since 2016 or 2017 has consisted mainly of bot activity and automatically generated content manipulated by algorithmic curation to control the population and minimize organic human activity.
