This weekend, I think I turned “ow, my back!” years old.

Here's a tip: You can find all 514 episodes of the 1960s prime-time soap Peyton Place on YouTube (and the 1st 166 eps on Shout! Factory DVDs). Each episode takes about 23 mins. to watch. It is unbelievably soothing and, in its slow, ancient way, completely addictive. >

I am loath to do this, but I need your help. My 20+ year marriage has unexpectedly imploded. There's a kid involved. Aside from Lupus, Autism and a shitty 2009 Mazda, I have nothing. Things are fairly desperate right now, so if you can help out now in any way at all I'd be really grateful ❤️

This is sobering. It makes me want to curtail my own bad habit of letting the scolds, cranks and people who live for the pleasure of screaming at their mostly-allies define my experience here as much as they do. And we need more people posting about fun cultural stuff in the spirit of conversation.>

Phew. This has been a long torturous fight you have no idea

Reviewing the 2025 Christmas slasher remake Silent Night, Deadly Night on Deck the Hallmark. #filmsky 📽 @deckthehallmark.bsky.social

Eh, I grew up Catholic, it's not like we make a fuss about Good Friday or anything, I'm sure no one will be upset.

The new season of DAREDEVIL is all about a corrupt New York businessman winning electoral office and turning the police into his personal army of murderous goons to terrorize the streets while he illegally enriches himself and, I don't know, it just doesn't resonate today.

Hegseth fired generals who insisted that military leaders who had demonstrated long records of exemplary service deserved promotion. For all the bitching about "DEI," what these failsons and Fox News castoffs all really hate is an actual meritocracy, where people are rewarded for their hard work

What are you talking about? There's nothing wrong with AI fact-checking!

"Dumping the Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war is a reckless move even by Hegseth’s standards," @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

I kind of love the news that we're getting streaming series of both The Corrections and Bonfire of the Vanities. Both novels present (different) extreme adaptation challenges, but this has been a miserably risk-averse period for streamers, and I'm for anything that fights that.

"No one, including Piker, is beyond reproach or criticism — but this campaign against him is telling."

Last year, now-Hallmark Channel president Darren Abbott promised a commitment to "diverse storytelling" and to "reflect the world that we live in" So far, we've seen a 62% year-over-year drop (from 8 to just 3) in non-white leads and zero significant LGBTQ+ storytelling in 2026's original movies.

This sounds like one of those jobs where your function is to be a tube that sucks things off of various sites you find on the screen on your left, passes them briefly through your keyboard, and splurts them on to the screen on your right.

I hope they name it the President Donald J. Trump Tollbooth in honor of the man who made it all happen.

Probably bad that the only dupes alive who haven’t learned to sniff Trump’s BS are the guys who get to decide if we can ever retire

Looks like this Jessica Chastain-Octavia Spencer holiday movie might actually be happening. DECK THE Y’ALLS is now in active pre-production and set to film soon in Charleston, S.C.

This week's Klassique Tom the Dancing Bug: - "Scientific Giants of All Time: DONALD TRUMP'S GUT" (2018) - And now we can add geopolitics to the expertise of Trump's gut, since it got us into the Iran War. - www.gocomics.com/tomthedancin...

I'm not digging up the "worst person you know just made a good point" pic but...this is Bret Stephens on the White House ballroom. And it's a solid point.

"President Trump has discussed firing Attorney General Pam Bondi in recent days as he grows frustrated with her leadership at the Justice Department and her handling of the Epstein files, according to four people familiar with the conversations." Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/u...

"When should we schedule this pointless primetime presidential speech that offers no new developments and no news? The calendar is wide open." "Uh, how about April Fool's Day?" "Perfection." (finger guns)

To be clear, this is *in spite of* Trump. Not *because of* Trump. First news outlet that frames this as a "victory" for this administration gets burned to the ground.

This is what social media is meant to be about.

Thread on the Trump White House's effort to bluff and bullshit birthright citizenship into oblivion.

2025's SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT comes to Cineverse subscription streamer Screambox on April 28.

"I am stating publicly that I can generalize about how all the members of this racial minority have low intelligence and no morals. But please do not call me a racist"

i hate when the april fools day jokes make me kind of wish it was real

Christy @christylemire.bsky.social and Alonso @aduralde.bsky.social dig into The Drama (without spoilers!) #filmsky 📽

Saturday's A ROYAL SETTING matched Hallmark Channel's ratings low to date, set last week by TWO FOR TEE, with 1.29 million live + same day viewers.

Credit where it's due. I choose to believe all our yelling at them has finally sunk in.

I have no doubt that she will, in fact, "blow up" 60 MINUTES

Oh this is a quote that will never come back to haunt him.

I want to put this as plainly as possible: This site has way too many self-righteous, underinformed assholes looking to pick a fight. We need fewer of them and more people with Mark's expertise.

My review of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie for The Film Verdict #filmsky 📽️

Hmmmm 🤔 "Abbott was already the company’s chief brand officer. He now adds ad sales, distribution, and research under his purview, which [already] included oversight of programming, product development, marketing and PR, licensing and brand partnerships." www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/d...

This is also just disingenuous reasoning. Laws already restricted our speech and subjected us to harm in the APA’s “disorder” era. The APA’s updated criteria slowly led to civil rights laws to protect queer folks. SCOTUS has intervened to prevent that process from happening with conversion therapy.

He started a war with no reason and no plan, sending the world into a crisis solely of his own creation, and now he's angrily bitching that other countries need to clean up his mess.

If we're talking about Mark Levin's nasally voice, it's time to pull out the clips of his voice played over Master Shake clips.

One of the lessons from Vietnam is that when they start bombarding you with numbers like these -- ordinance used, targets struck, so many killed and wounded -- there's more we're not being told.

These post-pardon pedo convictions are horrifying... and a gift to Democrats that they are too timid to take advantage of. If Biden had pardoned a single person, for any reason, who ended up convicted on a pedo charge, the Republicans would have made sure every American knew that person's name.

Is it a good sign when the Secretary of Defense is talking about whether the president's base -- not all the American people, just his own diehard supporters -- aren't on board with the president's war?

This atheist would like to remind you of Matthew 6: 5-6.
