When people ask, "How can I promote my art when the world is going to shit" I hear that as, "How do I have the right to make art when the world is going to shit" And... We need art more than ever during such times. You need to be making art more than ever during such times.

David Daradan: One day... I just want to end up on IMDB. Then I'll have made it. *monkey paw curls*

John Travolta is an extraordinary actor who is quite literally unrecognisable in some roles as seen here.

Y'all kids been saying it weird for too long. In this instance, follow the boomers, they know their shit here.

Without downloading anything new, where are you, mentally?

This kid is a hero. This framing of the story, and the fact that a teen cancer survivor felt this was how he had to use that money it's what's actually wrong here. 300 people shouldn't have to rely on a kid to beat cancer and have a empathetic streak that most adults don't have just to eat.

Hear me out: comp to raise money for immigration legal fees, all stoner bands covering Led Zeppelin. We call it "Immigrant Bong."

Christ it's like if you're named "Jared" you're required to suck.

If you think movies right now are largely substance-free "hey remember this thing?" right now, wait until the god-awful money-grubbing crossover junk we're gonna get from a Paramount/Warner crossover. Batman v Becker. CGI Peter Falk guests on Euphoria as Columbo takes down the drug ring...

Man I'm not even into Bleach but this is the shit right here

@gailsimone.bsky.social totally random but I read Tom King's Supergirl (the smaller scale collections DC's doing lately) on a plane and was wondering if you had any thoughts on it? Felt like an old Heavy Metal comic with Supergirl just fitting right in.

Tommy Wiseau checking who made his t-shirt: "Oh, Primark"

I'd love another Escape From New York, but the thing is we're never going to get what we want out of a reboot. Especially a reboot that isn't done by John Carpenter in the early 80s. He worked cheap which gave him a ton of freedom to take risks. Also, when it came out nobody had expectations...

Okay bluesky I need your help I live in Massachusetts. You might think we're a bastion of lefty intellectualism but our state government a clusterfuck of post-puritan real estate bros Reskeet this. Text it to your "friends from home" Help this find every masshole poster who will know what to do

A warehouse in the real world shouldn't function like the engine room on a Warhammer 40k spaceship.

MASSACHUSETTS! The social media ban legislation that passed the House is a nightmare for online privacy and safety, would force YOU to upload a gov ID to post online, and would harm LGBTQ youth and undocumented families. @fightforthefuture.org is organizing a sign-on for MA orgs opposed. DM me!

I regret to inform y'all that Hans Zimmer fuckin sucks.

To all who celebrate

It is SOOOOO fucked that the president's social media is basically rotten . com with extra racism.

"why did this microtonal math rock band go viral?" My theory: they have catchy hooks, a ton of danceable groove, and they don't sound like everything else. (Cont)

Everything is terrible and the Frankie Muniz/Bryan Cranston "Hot Ones" is fucking adorable.

Also, this store rules and you should buy things from it

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

Once again, "Andor" delivers the goods. Bondi, finding out she's being tossed aside.

I kinda feel like if you just let Chappel Roan live, you'll be fine? I dunno, I like her album just fine and I don't get why anybody expects more than that from her. She put out a record, puts on a good show, buy merch if you want. That's what she offers and it should be enough?

I'm with Shatner on the dread thing. Watching this animation, the thought of being in a tiny little metal tube thousands of miles from air, water, and every person you know who isn't from work.... Nah, dude. Got me all existential too early in the day.

Being the change I want to see in the world: if you're queer and can't find a bathroom in my neighborhood, you can use mine. If this sounds too familiar for a stranger to offer, there's also a porta-potty nearby and I'll stand a short distance away with a big stick so you can go in peace.

All day, every day. Transphobes are not welcome here.

Mike Pence got totally owned here: Jewish plaintiffs won a ruling against Indiana's abortion ban, using the law he signed 11 years ago as governor to help evangelicals refuse to cater gay weddings and such. Now similar challenges could win in other red states. We tell the story at @forward.com.

@massgovernor.bsky.social, nobody who voted for you wants this. What are you personally gaining from this? No-warrant arrests by violent thugs. After OpenAI gets into the state systems, these people will have access to everything residents put into state portals.

Lindsay Graham is a piece of shit, but 1) trying to out him is homophobic and shitty, kinda kills your progressive cred, and 2) pretty sure somebody tries this tactic on him every few years and it never works...which, honestly, is the most Democrat-branded thing about it.

I try not to be ageist but like it'd be cool if the age range of Congress wasn't so close to the average age of hospice patients.

And remember digital security advice is always best delivered as a schoolhouse rock style parody song ;-)

THIS. You play with the cards you're dealt and that includes working with the allies you have, not the ones you wish you had.

Your life isn't shitty because of Trans people. Your life is shitty because of billionaires and republican legislation.

Hated flying anyway.

We're gonna be playing koto in Salem later that night, so no crowfeeder this year, but you bet your ass we're gonna share the heavier bands set times if anyone's looking for it. And don't piss in @somershade.bsky.social 's yard, he's a very good follow and deserves minimal piss in his life.

For anybody starting to get excited about the prospect of really dragging everybody with some AI slop for April Fool's day this year ... ... maybe instead just don't?

That's one way to end American imperialism I guess...

Mr. Magoo ass army

Logged into FB for the first time in a while and holy shit it is WEIRD over there. Get your parents off that thing.

Putting out a record is a ton of work even on a super-indie scale, so I can't even imagine wanting to do it 15 times for such consistently mid results.

If you read the statements from labels and AI companies, there's a constant theme of replacing artists for the listeners (yes I just watched a recent fantano video). And like, okay if you just want slop in the background idgaf, follow your boring bliss, and you're already invested so there's no...

Rick Beato doesn't need promotion, but his recent episode with @bennjordan.bsky.social is a great conversation that gets into Jordan's (incredibly important and fascinating) work on privacy, sonic weapons, how AI music works and why it sucks. Highly recommended for any audio nerds and privacy nuts
