40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

@ladykdesigns.bsky.social Nov 7 - Best Film Noir Dream Sequence #NoirvemberChallenge okay, so I'm stretching this - but this film WAS based on Film Noir. The Big Lebowski trying to piece together a complex detective story and his unconscious sending him all kinds of input.

What I'm listening to this morning.

#Denmark not only served me a delicious sour cream and onion burger in a McDonald's that had a pastry case - but has also given #kingdiamond a lifetime pension for contribution to art. And it was a genuine burger for the same price, not waste material pressed into a cardboard-like patty.

Wildest thing here is: the Chipotle CEO said his customers are too burdened by low pay and student loans to afford fast food. It's in HIS interest and that of business to have CUSTOMERS. If we had single payer healthcare, we'd get entrepreneurs. Can't build a business in your garage without one.

I'll never forget my dad's last words: "It's way past Halloween. Why's this caution tape still on the elevator?"

I think I understand why #universalhealthcare is so misunderstood here. They think single payer means an exchange, pay $750 a month per person, there's mystery pays, copays, deductibles, etc. only the government is in charge so there's no competiton. What it means is: you get sick, no bill.

I've seen Le Parisien go on about this at great length for weeks and wondered why this was never picked up before. This should have been bigger news, sooner. I wasn't a Shein customer before, I am NEVER, EVER buying ANYTHING from ANYONE who caters to pedos. EVER.

Pittsburgh, here I come. I'll be able to start working on music again.

"Our plan of simply getting back in the saddle, insider trading and grifting, and going "but we simply can't, now is not the time, but we have to defeat fascism" is being THREATENED by people actually threatening to DO something for AMERICANS. For ONCE."

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 4: Film Noir Ahead Of Its Time: Chinatown: Yes, I know it's Roman Polanski - but it regenerated the genre to include "sunshine noir" and made it about bigger conspiracies than small time hoodluming

Welcome home, Richard.

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 3: The Film Noir That Made You a Fan. Mickey Spillane wanted to beat the shit out of the actor who played Mike Hammer here, but the take on the character was a really good one. Ending kind of naff, but really cool for most of it.

A movie you've seen more than seven times with a GIF

John Waters' Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

This is how I’m gonna look every time someone dislikes one of my posts.

Favorite #FilmNoir character introduction... “Oh, I’m sorry — I didn’t hear you in all this rain.” Norman Bates: "Psycho"

Congrats Dodgers. It was win-win for me. If the Jays had won, my mom would have been happy. Now I'm happy for Cheech Marin.

No Wraith?

The thing I like about #scream is that it's the intersection between murder mystery and horror, just like the #noir that was #psycho. Thought the mask was naff at first, but this shot made it grow on me. Iconic.

Someone describing #scream7 said Neve Campbell was the ultimate Final Girl. First off, no disrespect to the pride of Canada, but Ghostface is human and mortal. Whereas Amy Steel's Ginny got one up on superhuman Jason but only for one film. The real survivor is Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I just found this puzzle box inside a Terry’s chocolate orange, played with it for a moment, and a gang of black-clad, heavily pierced extra-dimensional beings showed up saying they have such sights to show me. Be safe.

Once again, American politics everybody. "Why don't more people vote?" "Because they don't see anything ever changing" "You clearly want trans and disabled people MURDERED! Vote for my candidate or ELSE!" Okay, well THAT was a productive discussion that will fix the body politic.

Here's why I don't vote. Someone I just blocked posted my comments OUT OF CONTEXT and misrepresented them as me hating disabled people and being a conservative... ...because I want universal healthcare. You can't win with anyone. My district is blood red. My vote wouldn't change anything anyway.

For those starting to follow me based on critiques of no healthcare in this country: I'm not as left wing as some of y'all. But I'm for healthcare, public transit, and education - the same way Europe is.

If you see this, quote with a vampire that isn't Dracula

Christian pastor finds story in "The Old Testament" that is horrific, and he can't fit it into his "everything talks about Jesus" narrative. He can't unpack that. "Why is it there? There's no moral lesson talking about Jesus here." Maybe the lesson is that we live in a violent, horrific place.

Oh, your idea was way better than mine.... Now I'm thinking: Pamphlets should be accurately portray the fine tradition of British family virtues!

Adverts should be representative of traditional British families

I’ve been listening to Call of the Void while working on a new tarot deck and it’s the perfect art-making music! Thank you.

Gotta get back to showing people what they’re listening to…. #darkjazz

I was today years old when I found out that the skeletons in Return of the Living Dead were real. Human remains from India cheaper than resin casts.

What's it like inside your head?

I want the person who did the set design for Mystery Men to do up ONE room in my home like the bedroom of the Blue Rajah. Even the most mundane sets were gorgeous, never mind the Disco Room or the art Nouveau of Casanova Frankenstein's mansion.
