I know @startthemachine.bsky.social has a real issue with a film when his tone dips into Fox Mulder territory.

We need to do something about radical centrism so that the far right and far left can live together in peace* *i don't need to tag this as a joke, right?

I'm obviously not in favor of political violence but I'll be goddamned if I shed a tear for a man who made his entire career calling for that exact thing.

You dont have to have empathy for someone who had none and actively campaigned against that very basic concept of human emotion.

Since we recently learned @jkass99.bsky.social only plays Guard...

Am I the only person stupidly excited for Good Boy? This shit looks genuinely interesting, and I hope it's just 90% Indy (the dog).

School begins tomorrow, my son is deeply in thought over a critical choice: what Pokemon plush will be his day one companion?

Me when @lionsledbydonkeys.bsky.social new intro has Joe sounding oddly upbeat.

The great mistake of negative criticism of Alien Earth is not seeing the masterful sci-fi work done in a preexisting universe. It doesn't extend previous works. Rather it expounds on their broader concepts and foundations.

I really like Alien Earth so far. I think there are legit gripes about some of it, plot armor being one I agree with, but it is super fun and is doing something new. The problem is the weird section of Alien fans who want more content, but get super picky about every attempt to try something new.

My son has demanded Punkrocker by Teddybears ft. Iggy Pop every time we get in the car and therefore I believe I have succeeded as a parent.

I was once explaining the Shakespearean era's laws on actors to my students, many of whom were theater kids, and I said, "This is why many members of theater troupes were in the LGBTQ+ community then ...and still are today." They all fist-bumped in solidarity. I think I nailed that one.

Hey so, I am launching the TH Pod as a companion to my writing work. Listen to me and a guest talk about a book, film, game, or other art and why people ought to invest some time in it! Want to be a guest or suggest a topic? DM me!

New fact I learned today: "Oboes are a major bisexual indicator, historically." Thanks @jamieloftus.bsky.social

James Gunn does not miss. Superman is absolutely brilliant.

Hey, new plan, let's try Not Capitalism and just see if that's better?

"You know, I'm kinda on the side of Hell." - an all timer from @brickyo8.bsky.social made for our lives in 2025

You know, if capitalism isn't an inherently harmful system, wouldn't we have loads of super rich swooping in to pay to keep those rural hospitals open and Medicare funded for people who need it?

ICE just got a budget bigger than over 100 countries GDP. Bigger than the budget for the NIH. Or the Marines. These psychos are truly getting their private army and there is nobody, not a fucking soul, in government that is doing anything to stop them.

I would argue Peter Ferhervari is not only the best 40k writer, but one the best sci-fi writers working today.

Okay, @lionsledbydonkeys.bsky.social , I cannot keep rewinding the same fucking episodes to hear what I missed because the Bob Mathews Mickey Mouse voice makes me laugh so hard I can't breathe.

Do you think Mozart would have vaped? He seems like a vape guy.

The only correct ethical and moral stance to have is the complete abolishment of ICE. There is no way you can look at this organization and think it can be reformed in any meaningful way.

@inthesedeserts.bsky.social I was listening to The Order pod, and when George Lincoln Rockwell's name came up, I had to dive down a rabbit hole, because he graduated from Hebron Academy, where I taught for 10 years. I emailed @jkass99.bsky.social that I'd see what else I could find, and how boy...

idk if you like harry potter in 2025 you're a bitch ass loser

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

I'll just say this before heading out. If you're a young person in NYC, THIS IS YOUR TIME. The next couple of decades in this city are going to be shaped by what happens on Tuesday. Be part of the team that is turning the page on politicians like Cuomo. There are better choices.

At some point, you gotta just look in the mirror and admit to yourself that you live in a bad country. If you can't do that, we can't fix any of this.

what would have been possible, what could we each have made, and done, and been, if it hadn’t been taken from us by these wretched men

When keepin' it real goes right.

I am with @sophie.bsky.social there is no way @iwriteok.bsky.social should be allowed to make an "inside you there are two wolves" joke on the most recent pod. However, it does give me an excuse to use this meme.

I just want to say that @jkass99.bsky.social was an incredible educator and positive influence on my 9th grade students studying genocide with his interview today. He emphasized the importance of standing by your friends and neighbors in order to defeat genocide and to stop it being perpetrated.

@tychobrahe.bsky.social Thanks for taking the time to chat while roaming the floor today at PAX East! I appreciate you taking the time, it had indeed "been a minute."

I realize BlueSky is becoming my "random movie takes" but here goes: my favorite Ben Affleck performance is in The Accountant.

Thunderbolts is really, really good.

I was hyped for Havoc because I love Gareth Evans films. It wasn't what I was hoping for, but also I still thought it was an interesting attempt to "Westernize" The Raid 2.

@brickyo8.bsky.social Bought some "Lego" marines to go with my guards. Thought you'd enjoy this even if I'm starting with the blueberries.

I don't play Warhammer 40k but I love Space Marine and Darktide and now I'm reading a bunch of books, so I got some knock off lego models. Behold my Kriegsmen!

incredibly important that he and everyone else frame it that way. we do need to fight for Abrego Garcia but we also cannot let that be the end of resistance against this lawless historic crime occurring at the behest of a Republican junta.

The Bush administration disappeared people too, sent them to a different gulag at Gitmo and other black sites, kidnapped people off the street of Milan, tortured them, in the name of "a different kind of war." We didn't come close to holding them accountable. We're seeing the cost of that now.

i am just hearing Leonard Zeskind died. as someone who has made a career studying and reporting on the far right, he was the very very very best of us. Blood And Politics will be remembered by history as one of the single most important books ever written about the United States.

reports coming in that earlier today Trump dropped ranch dipping sauce for his chicken nuggets on the Oval Office floor and made Vance the "licking that shit off the carpet" tzar as well

The state relies on us creating a dichotomy between "good protesters" and "bad protesters" and it relies on a misinterpretation of nonviolence in order to get us to do it. When we resist a fascist state, we must resist the fascist state's logic. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/without-th...

I'm trying to get back to posting more updates again, it's been a few years since I ditched some other platform for this one. Book updates coming soon!

Can confirm, this book is incredible.
