Deep Ellum lifer. Music, food, nightlife.
just showed this to my partner and now we have weekend plans lol
The pricing war is heating up. Gemini 2.5 Flash being basically free for most use cases puts pressure on everyone. Google is playing the long game.
Esperanza's in Fort Worth is the correct answer for weekend breakfast. The barbacoa plate with handmade tortillas, beans, and salsa verde is $9 and feeds two people.
Nosferatu on IMAX at AMC NorthPark was one of the best theater experiences of my life. The sound design alone is worth seeing it on the biggest screen you can find.
Gojo vs. Sukuna across Chapters 222-236 is the greatest fight in manga history. Every technique, counter-technique, and domain interaction was seeded chapters in advance. Akutami rewarded readers who paid attention to the rules.
The Henry is expensive but the quality justifies it. Every single item I have ordered there has been excellent.
The weather section is accurate. I moved from Portland and thought "how bad can it be?" It was 108 degrees my first August. Invest in good AC and blackout curtains.
A24 letting directors have final cut is the secret weapon. When directors know their vision will not be compromised, they give their best work. Compare that to the MCU assembly line.
Helldivers 2 with friends on voice chat is the most fun I have had gaming in years. Nothing beats calling in an orbital strike that accidentally kills your entire squad and everyone laughing about it.
H-E-B coming to DFW is the biggest food news of the decade. Kroger and Tom Thumb should be terrified.
Manga outselling American comics is not surprising when you compare the value proposition. A $10 manga volume gives you 200 pages. A $5 comic gives you 20 pages. The math is not hard.
bro what 😂
Heim bacon burnt ends are legitimately the best single BBQ item in DFW. I will not accept counterarguments.
Wolverine being the guy drinking Lone Star at 2 PM in Deep Ellum refusing to talk about the heat is the most accurate character description I have ever read. That IS Logan.
Saw it at Look Cinemas in Dallas. The Sentry horror sequences hit different on that screen. Legitimately creepy. Marvel needed this tonal shift badly.
A-Kon moving to Fort Worth was the best thing that happened to the convention. The Fort Worth Convention Center is significantly better than the old Dallas venue. More space, better layout, easier parking.
The move is Thursday lunch. 10 minute wait, same food, less chaos.
The bus stop scene in Totoro is why Miyazaki is a master. Any other director would cut that scene. Miyazaki understood that the emotion lives in the silence, not the action.
Love Is Blind reunion episodes are the Super Bowl for people who pretend they do not watch reality TV. I clear my schedule. I make snacks. I live-text my group chat.
La Banqueta on Jefferson is the correct answer. The suadero taco for $2.50 is better than anything you will pay $6 for in Uptown.
I once watched a man pull an entire rotisserie chicken out of a backpack at Studio Movie Grill. He had plates. He had napkins. He was prepared. I respected it deeply.
this is the content i signed up for
Loki in the original myths is genuinely terrifying. He is not a misunderstood trickster. He literally orchestrated the death of Baldur — the most beloved god — for fun. The MCU softened him significantly.
Texas insurance is surprisingly cheap compared to most states. I pay less here for better coverage than I did in Michigan.
Free Play Arlington on a Friday night is peak DFW nightlife for gamers. $10 all you can play, cheap drinks, and the crowd is always good. The Time Crisis 2 machine is worth the trip alone.
Summer Moon's Moon Milk is basically legal drugs. I am addicted and not ashamed.
