Without saying your age, what’s your favorite movie that came out when you were 18.

When a visual joke is handmade & not trying to convince you it's real, it's much funnier than if it's "perfect" but waxy & soulless GenAI slop. Same reason a guy in a gorilla suit will always be funnier than a fussed-over CGI gorilla. It's even funnier if you can see the zipper up the back.

My proposed minister for AI.

Someone needs to lock Matt Damon in his fucking house. You know how much money we've spent bringing his ass back home???

Come on France! Do it for the love of poultry!

Andy Burnham took over as Labour leader yesterday, and it’s already paying off for England.

England and France are only playing for third place, but the winner does get to reclaim the North American fur trade

@willmckinley.bsky.social This year's Noir City NY is a cross between this year and last year's Noir City Oaklands. Current events had me so stressed out in January 2025, that I went to see Ace in the Hole in the afternoon to try and relax!

I talked about it! www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/10/a...

Meta takes your band pics and adds extra limbs bearing product placement to your trumpet player. Also, random, white people added to your band! They say it increases engagement but does it get people out to your shows?

Before Benedict Cumberbatch was Doctor Strange, TV’s greatest Sherlock Holmes, Jeremy Brett, was in this episode of The Incredible Hulk with Loni Anderson!

MYTHICAL ODYSSEYS coming soon to OMFYS where we pair pot with JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (1963) and HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD (61). Subscribe on your favorite podcast app so you don't miss it!

Look who came to visit while I sat on my patio today! A baby possum! He’s so cute! I will call him Sparky! He had some cat food and went back under the deck for a nap. No sign of mom but he’s doing ok, crunching away. 💜💜💜

BROKE: Tom Bombadil sucks because of his silly songs and his prancing around like a goober WOKE: Tom Bombadil sucks because he’s the trilogy’s only real Wife Guy and Tolkien somehow manages to make him seem uncool BESPOKE: Tom Bombadil sucks because he’s a tonal nightmare

Marine Boy is fighting to stop a mega computer called Brain Storm that’s draining the Pacific Ocean. So familiar.

It’s a Man-Wolf. It’s a meal.

I'm part of the Alpha Beta Left, because day-in, and day-out, the savings don't stop.

Certainly not the worst thing about it but a bad thing is that for the next several weeks, any time you say you're sick, people are gonna assume ya got the explosive diarrhea

We could rewrite the Constitution if we exempt political advertising from First Amendment protections.

The whole National League is like the #SFGiants now.

the crack of the bat. the scent of a verdant field. A nationally broadcast game. These are the things that piss baseball fans off the most

I HAVE NO MOUTH AND I MUST ICE CREAM

Sam Neill should have won an Oscar for this “help I’m being attacked by an invisible Chevy Chase” scene with a stupid looking plastic gun taped to the side of his head

In the middle of Flaubert’s “Sentimental Education,” an old politician dies, and there’s this huge funerary procession, speeches and proclamations of everlasting legacy, and Flaubert was like “and then no one ever said his name again.”

The 1954 version of The Odyssey with Kirk Douglas as Odysseus (AKA Ulysses) and Anthony Quinn as Antinoos the suitor is on Tubi. It's not bad but they really needed to get Harryhausen to animate the cyclops. It's also in Italian with English subtitles but that adds to a dreamy quality.

Carrie Cape Fear Amadeus The Birds You can watch all of these old movies in a fraction of the time it takes to watch one season of the new shows based on them! WATCHING OLD MOVIES SAVES YOU TIME!

I really don't think the problem with American politics right now is that it needs more men.

Speaking of Sam Neill, The Hunt for the Wilderpeople is my favorite movie from 2016. Here's @briantallerico.bsky.social's review of it.

Rest in peace, Sam Neill.

Sad about Sam Neill. So few of the famous men are lovely humans.

From 1992-1994, Sam Neill was in Jurassic Park, The Piano, and two John Carpenter movies. An amazing run from an amazing actor. Farewell to the final Damien.

I just saw a gorgeous print of EL CID (1961) at the Orinda Theatre so now I guess I'm rooting for Spain to win the World Cup. #ForSpain!

Thank you, Lindsey Graham, for creating the permission structure for fellow Senators afraid to come out as dead. Your trailblazing courage will be long remembered.

At least Lindsey Graham had the courage to admit he’s dead.

MAHA my ass. RFK Jr. poisoned salads.

Watching the HBO Burning Man doc. The super model cult with the public access TV shows is cooler.

The English sound like a mob of seals.

The Giants drafted Rutgers OF Peyton Bonds -- Barry's nephew -- with their third-round Draft pick.

I even wrote about this for @atrupar.com!

So I take it her husband is now earning his teaching credential

This whole time, they could’ve been making Incredible Hulk movies where sad Mark Ruffalo wanders America, works as a rodeo clown or glam band roadie, and hits the road as haunting piano music plays.

The Giants have poo poo butts.

My goodness, do I miss 1980s Radio Shack at very specific times.

Godspeed, Randy Mantooth. Joe Staton covered Emergency! 2 (1976).

I'm not even joking when I say that, as a former writing teacher, I think even the act of bullshitting through a 10-page paper on a book you only skimmed is also incredibly valuable learning.

I'm so sad to hear of the passing of Randolph Mantooth 😢 He was my first big crush when I was 13 and watching EMERGENCY! on TVLand

Johnny Gage is gone. Let's pour one out for the great Randolph Mantooth.

This is taking Candlestick Park nostalgia just too far.
