Just got a review request from a pr rep that doesn’t mention the title of the movie until two-thirds of the way through the email.

To every artist currently thinking, “ It feels so silly to post about my story/movie/painting/novel/etc while everything is terrible,” I understand, but know that’s the shit keeping us all going. Don’t stop now.

Dawn Staley is wearing an Emmanwori jersey. Make of that what you will.

"Look, we all want the Gestapo, where we differ is how discreet we want the Gestapo to be in their Gestapo-ing. Do it at night, maybe."

Every time I almost drum on a bar I think about @colonelmortimer.bsky.social yelling at me to knock it off and the does the trick.

Well, that was suboptimal.

Right wing white dudes finally noticing things a lot of women do for their kids, offices and communities on a daily basis: PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS

This is that good action shit I was talking about.

I had almost this exact encounter today.

If you’re running out of hope, this thread should top you off. Maybe we’re not completely fucked.

I am woke-up-with-tennis-elbow-for-no-discernible-reason years old.

If you’re a grown ass man in full tactical gear asking a child to show you ID or proof of citizenship you failed at life. Utterly & completely failed. Loser.

So excited to have a short story in one of my favorite places—thank you, @aaronburch.bsky.social and @jessdawn.bsky.social! (And, as a long-time fan of @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social’s work, I’m incredibly honored to have my story alongside her brilliant artwork! 🤩)

“sex scenes don’t even advance the plot!!” i dunno dude the plot said these people were gonna fuck

The first week I lived in Seattle the Varsity was running a John Woo retrospective, so I saw all the biggies on a big screen. And I lived within blocks of the theater for years and saw too many great movies there to count. It hasn’t been the same in a long time, but this is still a bummer.

What about when your film is about the seeds being planted for these Worst of Times? www.wto99doc.com

Every time in the last year I’ve felt close to true despair I have gone to a protest or seen people like this who show that Americans actually can be remotely as brave as we tell ourselves we are, and our enemies are violent and stupid and evil but they are also absolute cowards.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

Action fans, as always, watch this and update your must-watch lists accordingly.

As we embark on a new year, Seattle Critics Society Members reflect on their favorite films of 2025. seattlefilmcritics.com/2026/01/01/r...

One of my favorite things about living in Seattle is that the New Year’s fireworks show at the Space Needle gets shittier and shittier every single year. I love it so much.

Cool, my neighborhood waited until 10 pm to sound like an apocalyptic war zone. That has to be some kind of record.

Ralph Fiennes in STRANGE DAYS…RT if you agree.

If you're in the Seattle area, and you missed Reflection in a Dead Diamond on the big screen in 2025, it plays the Beacon Cinema Jan 9 and 10 as part of their Super Krime series--the entire thing looks rad, not least Jacques Rivette's 773-minute Out 1. Tickets: thebeacon.film/calendar/mov...

Have a hankerin’ to watch Wild Zero. Might have to make that happen tonight.

My new favorite thing is beefy dudes at the gym working out with their moms.

perfect metaphors don’t exis—

You love watching Ma Dong-seok clobber dudes, but hear me out, what if those dudes were also demons? If that sounds promising to you, 'Holy Knight: Demon Hunters' hits VOD tomorrow. www.thelastthingisee.com/2025/08/holy...

Do nfl teams besides the Seahawks play Bikini Kill during the games?

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

“On behalf of Director Park Chan-wook's new film, we are cordially inviting all Fortune 500 CEOs to a special screening of NO OTHER CHOICE. This is truly a film that speaks to our gracious executive leaders and the culture they have cultivated.” Beast mode shit.

If you want to watch archival footage of my friends getting beat up by cops, do I have a movie for you…

Would love for more people outside of the Pacific Northwest to see this film. A tribute to the Black community, specifically Tacoma's Hilltop community, though the concert took place at Seattle's magisterial Paramount Theatre. Works on a more intimate level, too as a musician honors his family.

Has a grandpa ever thrown an NFL touchdown before?

Hey, I voted for some of these. Others I most certainly did not vote for. But in one nominee there are multiple scenes of people I know getting beat up by the police, so that’s different from most years.

🥹🙏 thank u lmaooooo let’s all manifest this

This movie is criminally underseen and should be a part of your annual Thanksgiving watch rotation. Such a sweet rom-com that’s unafraid to be a little raunchy, and the Midwestern gay subplot is one of the very best.

You shouldn’t go to Starbucks for many reasons, but also, their coffee tastes, and has always tasted, like dog shit. We don’t talk about this enough. Their coffee straight up sucks in addition to being a terrible company.

"The reason you can't buy a house is that you spend money you should be saving." Also, "Tech CEO's can't by a mega yacht every year if you don't buy a new device every year you fools." Please fuck entirely off.

It’s absolutely unhinged how many ads for dumbass phone games play out like, “Are you so poor you’re stealing to feed your child? Play this solitaire game and your child will be able to eat!”

My cat can eat a whole watermelon, Charlie Brown.

Speaking as a longtime Paul Thomas Anderson aficionado, Sinners was a way more important film — and a much smarter film — than One Battle After Another, which was entertaining at times but also full of misogynoir and bad revisionist readings of liberation movements

I haven’t written for Paste in many years, but it still sucks to lose another outlet where I and many much better writers plied our trade. I got to write some fun things there.

“It’s not fascism until its control is total and fear of it is ruling your life” is a take designed to keep you from fighting until it’s too late. Hope this helps.

Katie Wilson has been elected Seattle's next mayor www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

It's not over yet, but this is a good sign for Wilson. Every vote counts. If you voted in King County, please check your ballot status at the link below. I've had my signature flagged in the past, and it was very easy to resolve the matter.

Career politicians were never going to save anyone. We save our damn selves.

None of these people should ever know peace.

You can search by zip code and a lot of places have wish lists set up on Chewy so you’ll be able to see exactly what they need and have it sent direct to them. Couldn’t be easier.
