I don't know if people -- in general -- know what "authoritarianism" is. I don't know if they really know what "fascism" is. But I think they're far clearer on what a dictator is. Choice of words is very important right now.

Thought of the night: Did my toddler give me a concussion?

Tariff!

The rumors are true: I will drag people to historical reenactments/celebrations (like my kiddo and spouse) RevFest250 in Westchester, NY this weekend was fun! I hope they do this every year 🇺🇸

I don’t love the “salvation is here… the answer to the infection is here” radio messages #hatm

This movie is a “visit England” ad Come for the peace, quiet, ruins, and horses #hatm

Hannah’s driving is the real horror of this movie #hatm

Does the sickness make these zombies very fast or is it just the folks/zombies we’re seeing who, prior to getting sick, were very fit? #hatm

Husband just popped in to say “this was filmed on really cheap cameras to give it a gritty feeling and when they wanted to re-release in 4K it made it impossible bc of how it was filmed” and then walked away to get the dogs dinner #hatm

This movie is very quiet #hatm

If I learned anything from this movie so far it’s that animal rights activists are bad? #hatm

My husband — who “doesn’t want to watch” — is standing in the corner watching and then critiquing my critiques “everyone had the same idea — end of the world, go to a church” #hatm

Yes, my first stop would be a church in this situation? What are you doing, my guy???? #hatm

There are a lot of things I love about #HATM. One of them is the record keeping of @juniperablackwell.bsky.social

The people have to drink Pepsi is the worst part of civilization’s downfall. #HATM

The empty hospital is ominous . . , . #hatm

Was not expecting to see Cillian Murphy’s 🍆 #hatm

I do know this is a scary film at least. When I was younger I accidentally agreed to watch Hostel with my boyfriend at the time not knowing it was a horror film and …. Ugh #hatm

No one believes scientists ever #hatm

I’ve never seen this movie. But it already feels like something’s about to go very wrong? #hatm

1) I usually read a few books at a time: currently Jason Stanley’s “Erasing History,” Marie Benedict’s “Lady Clementine” (my “beach read”), and I just started the Da Vinci Code bc it’s 2003 and I’ve never read it 2) grilled chicken with rice! #hatm

Pay attention to local news on Portland (& Chicago, LA, DC, etc). That's where you'll actually find something as novel as facts like this: "In recent weeks, no more than several dozen people have gathered outside the building on South Portland’s waterfront." www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

This week Historians At The Movies kicks off spooky season by talking about the history of epidemic diseases. Join us on Netflix this Sunday, September 28 at 8pm eastern for 28 DAYS LATER. #HATM

Mussolini didn’t mind it when people called him a fascist. Why is Miller so sensitive on the subject?

I wrote a piece for Rollingstone about Monsieurs Kimmel, and Colbert and The First Amendment. And, oddly enough, also about Paddy Chayevsky. www.rollingstone.com?p=1235432169...

Local car commercials should have to show footage of said car in said city/area. Not the most picturesque in the country

Those Epstein files have got to be atrocious to be going after Tylenol

He hates everyone but he hates women most of all.

Could they also invest to not make it a massive strain on the earth’s resources?

I threw up every single day of my pregnancy with my kiddo. I didn’t get relief until I had her. Tylenol was the only thing I could take for my massive headaches and migraines. Tough it out? Stfu. Why not just say you don’t understand science, medicine, and hate people?

I hate this timeline

I heard men taking viagra causes autism

If I learned anything about this movie it’s that it’s depressing watching it bc it’s coming true 😭😭😭😭 #hatm

Some light reading on the topic of this movie #hatm www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n...

Not the Fox News spot! #hatm

It’s why some of us call this a documentary now unfortunately #hatm

God this movie doesn’t feel that far off at the rate we’re going 😭😭😭 (I’ve never seen this, but assuming that’s why our fearless leader picked this…) #hatm

JUSTIN LONG #hatm

Well the robot floor vacuum at least is a thing? #hatm

Ugh the f-slur really dates this #hatm

1) William Henry Harrison (a short film) 2) I’m defrosting spinach and artichoke soup I made and froze as we speak! #hatm

1) There's a James Garfield prestige series coming up this Nov. on Netflix (Death by Lightning) that I am super-excited for. I think JQA is a good topic for a biopic... casting? Adam Driver as JQA / DiCaprio as John C. Calhoun / Hugh Jackman as Henry Clay / Henry Cavill as Andrew Jackson 🤓 #HATM

I’m going to start spellings my name as Lauradd for the same reason #hatm

I’m starting a few minutes late, but here! I’ve never heard of this movie (which is surprising given its Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph (and this was peak college for me/right up my alley) #hatm

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

Meh. I had more followers on Twitter. But I have better conversations here. I forget sometimes that Twitter exists. And I’m tired of worrying about my audience. I just wanna live a good life, be a good man, and say good things. Maybe somebody will listen. That’s it.

The performative martyrdom of Charlie Kirk put the left in a position where any honest reflection on Kirk's words or any criticism of the over-the-top grief shown by the right is treasonous heresy. They made Trump into their God, now they've made Kirk into their Christ.

CNN has made the editorial decision to keep playing this clip on air for guests making sure they get the full context of what Kimmel said. Good.

“Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr criticized Kimmel earlier Wednesday, suggesting the federal agency could pull broadcast licenses owned by parent company Disney.” ABC takes comedian Jimmy Kimmel off the air over Charlie Kirk remarks: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Ugh the MAHA influencers coming in so strong on the tiktok
