I like Steve Zahn and I like his picks.

I see this a lot, where people are like "well how can I reach my kid if it's an emergency?" The same way we did before cell phones. Call the school, duh. It's like people have no brains anymore I swear.

While we're on the topic of favorite movies, I guess this is good time to put up a reminder that every May, I write about a favorite movie each day of the month on my filmstagram page. 6th annual round of favorites starts tomorrow. www.instagram.com/scenesfromth...

Ten favorite films off the top of my head (one per director): Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) The Stepford Wives (1975) Harvey Wayne's World Everything is Illuminated The Thing (1982) The Jerk Better Off Dead A Life Less Ordinary Empire Records

you probably never stopped to consider that some ABBA instrumentals work perfectly as a Castlevania soundtrack.

As someone who's tried to get blood out of clothes, stripping beforehand is simply the practical choice

The public education system has severely lost the plot.

what i want to know is if they understand their own bigotry and hatred and stupidity was weaponized against them to get them to vote for trump, without that its all completely meaningless and will happen again

For *my entire lifetime* Republicans have had one fiscal strategy, which is to cut taxes and sabotage the government while they're in office, then leave the Democrats with the job of cleaning it up.

Anything that can be destroyed by Godzilla deserves to be destroyed by Godzilla

FFC review: MICHAEL (2026), by Walter Chaw (@mangiotto.bsky.social). filmfreakcentral.net/2026/04/mich...

So we just…don’t care about the multiple accusations of child rape, huh?

I want to open a bookshop/record store that also serves tea and baked goods.

How often do you feel paralyzed by the abject terror and uncertainty of your own perishable body?

Well, things may seem bleak but at least we've got Tucker Carlson on our side.

I... kind of think doing hard time in the retail service industry should be a pre-req for any kind of public service position. I'm not even kidding.

I dunno, I was not totally opposed to a Practical Magic sequel but if Aidan Quinn isn't in it, I kinda feel like that diminishes the sweet ending of the first movie. I hate when romance movies do sequels but don't bring back one of the romantic leads. It's like "psych, that wasn't the happy ending."

Not surprised to learn American artichokes are worse than Italian artichokes. This country's reputation for ruining things is unmatched.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Do you think cats know what's going on when you give them a kiss?

I'm Lois on the inside but Hal on the outside.

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

I just researched this and ChatGPT told me I should drink one to three Molotov cocktails daily, for my health

Pulled a muscle on the exercise bike and dropped all three of my hot dogs

sometimes, if you’re up early enough, you can hear them turn the birds on

you ever notice how media uses this weird framing when talking about men and boys? it's always, "hmm, women are doing better according to this specific metric. how do we help men get back on top?"

I gave up a long time ago on anyone doing anything. On reality making any fucking sense at all.

USPS is has been getting really creative about its delivery routes, but I would say sending the books I ordered to the entire other side of the country when the shipping location is less than 20 miles from my house has got to be the most puzzling yet.

Agree with both the things said here about @mangiotto.bsky.social. Truly the best at what he does, and for nearly 20 years I've wished I could be even close to his level of greatness. A birthday celebration well-deserved.

chat are we cooked?

the history books are going to call Donald Trump "a charismatic leader" as an explanation for how he took power but that would be sanewashing America. people just voted in a pathetic doddering old racist because he said racist things in the way they wanted to hear them.

Weed is so funny. The safest drug of all time that makes you think this time you're a goner for sure

People have been writing without AI for as long as writing has been a thing. Most of them still are because AI is entirely unnecessary. We've even had spellcheck since the '90s and I never use it if I can avoid it. I'll edit my own shit, thanks.

"Remember when __________ wasn't political?" - The Stupidest Person in the Room

"Call me crazy, but I think having access to all of the world's knowledge means absolutely nothing when we're raising generations of people who can't think for themselves, and can't distinguish fact or fiction presented by AI."

Precisely why the people leaving MAGA now because gas prices don't have my sympathy or forgiveness. They were okay w/harming immigrants and trans people, they were okay w/ sexual assault and pedophilia, and were okay w/ our country's leader insulting people and celebrating their failures and deaths.

"It's the ideology that tells us we're broken and we need a new tool to unfuck ourselves."

I don't share this man's optimism but still appreciate what he's done with this video.

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.

this is like, literally the exact kind of thing that kicked off the revolutionary war. i'm trying to find a way to be goofy and say i'm exaggerating but taxing shipments in order to pay for expensive foreign wars was literally the flashpoint lol

Barista said "enjoy your coffee". I accidentally replied "you too". Then I made a startling goat noise so the first thing would seem less weird by comparison

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

25 prints of The King of Monsters are now available for pre-order in the shop! (If those 25 sell out, I'll bump that up, otherwise, when you're leading your guests through a tour of your art collection, pipe in hand, you can tell them it's *limited edition*.) www.brianna-ashby.com/new-products...

My toxic trait is that I want to see inside every house.

one of my most favorite movies — an urgent watch for when you’re feeling the heaviness of the world. Or if you just want to see Meryl and Brooks being perfect

Definitely curious about the manosphere documentary but don't know if I can hear the name "ticky tocky" any more than I already have in the youtube commentary videos about the documentary.

Every time an episode of The Pitt ends, I go into a deep depression until next week when I can watch The Pitt again.
