Zohran Mamdani walked into the Oval Office with strength, without betraying his own values or beliefs, and had trump eating out of his hand, defending and praising him, even saying it's OK to call him a fascist. Gave up nothing. Gained respect. Absolute masterclass.

Ubisoft boss can do one.

I love this.

What do you mean Benny Safdie AKA the director of The Smashing Machine, Uncut Gems and Good Time is the voice of Bowser Jr?? And Academy Award winning actress Brie Larson is voicing Rosalina?? Wild times.

Looks unreal tbh. The first one was great, so here’s hoping this one is even better!

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Utterly abysmal.

“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement. After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

Are you kidding me, LOOK AT HIM! He’s adorable. That’s the real Paddington Bear right there.

I saw way too many movies in October, so here are some smaller reviews (lovingly collated together) of six movies that stood out to me! Enjoy the first "Reel Round-Up"!

YEAH, GET ‘EM GEORGE! bsky.app/profile/mons...

Massive win and beginning of the end for generative ai

Guillermo del Toro says he’d ‘rather die’ than use generative AI “My concern is not artificial intelligence, but natural stupidity. I think that's what drives most of the world's worst features” (via NPR)

Holy crap. These guys are the worst.

Well this sucks.

“Fuck AI” — Guillermo del Toro 🎥 Vanity Fair

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time. VANCE: No, George, I sai-- STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Here's my review of future Best Picture winner "One Battle After Another". Read it now, if you like!

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

i genuinely think donald trump didn’t realize this was ai and thinks he said this himself

HOWAY MAN! 🤍🖤🤍🖤

Newcastle says no to fascism. The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance. Newcastle united.

Enjoying Season 2 of #Peacemaker, but man it really feels like the events of Episodes 2-6 could have been condensed into fewer episodes. Feels like we’ve done a lot of waiting around and yet the episodes go by so quick!

Insomniac have certainly got my purchase. I love Wolverine, and I love their games, so it’s a real no-brainier for me. This is gonna be sick!

Insomniac’s ‘WOLVERINE’ game will release in Fall 2026.

YOOOOOOOOO, IT LOOKS SO GOOD MAN!

placing my bet in the “solution to autism” is to just stop allowing testing for it and placing people currently diagnosed with it on a list

I beg of you, please, do not make me have to defend Bill Maher from government censorship

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

"I wish we could blame this on muslims or migrants, but turns out it was one of us." what a wild thing to say

Charlie Kirk was killed for saying things "that used to be simple common sense," says Boris Johnson. Here's a few of those things

We don’t yet know who killed Kirk or why. Not that you’d know it from the endless numbers of accounts on X with huge follower numbers, including British politicians, making as yet unknowable claims about the motivations behind the murder. Exhibit A. Extraordinary stuff.

Intrusive thoughts but instead of anything offensive or scary it's Tidus narration voice saying "i had forgotten about bisexuality" making me laugh mid-shower and choke on shampoo

people on the right don’t tend to wait for any information about the motivations of the shooter before blaming the left. But Kirk had enemies on the right too; some of them surely live in Utah. And as with any shooting, the shooter’s motivations may not map onto any coherent politics at all.

Gotta love when a Direct drops on a day off! Perfect!

Holy shit now THAT’S a pitch.

Absolutely insane move but fair play if they’re mates.

Probably Warner Bros. best year in, well, years!

Ace Attorney…?? Professor Layton…???

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

My review of Netflix's adaptation of The Thursday Murder Club, available to stream August 28th!

Thank God for them 2026 brings Spider-Man and the Avengers. Those movies, good or bad, will clean up.
