Godzilla vs Megalon (1973)

regardless of the details I think it’s important to spin the Kimmel thing as a win Trump is weak, he’s unpopular, he massively overreached and inspired enough of a revolt that Disney had to backtrack immediately he wants to paint himself as an all-powerful dictator, paint him as a loser who sucks

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for very wealthy, privileged people who are capitulating to fascism and/or staying silent because they’re “scared.” People are being dragged out of their homes and people who could be next are *still* speaking up. Silence won’t protect you but it emboldens them

Shaun King pivoting right because the left got tired of his grift is hilarious.

“The only requirement for membership is a passion or curiosity for horror through the eyes of girls. All genders are welcome — just bring your love, and that quest for the thrills and chills!” — Girls Like Horror founder Christina Acevedo.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

Then they came for the late night hosts And actually everyone spoke up for that one and the Nazis fucked off for once, go figure

One of the "idk how you rebuild that" pillars, too. Once you've broken the tradition that both parties will fund public media - Rs reluctantly but in the interest of rural constituents - who wants to work with that sword of Damocles hanging over you every election?

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

The apparent success of the boycott in defence of an incredibly wealthy white man, who has an extensive resources, cannot be where y’all put down your pitchforks. Take the win, turn the momentum to the defence of Mahmoud Khalil. Free speech, right?

Omg I forgot I can post videos here now (w/ @kennieadventure.bsky.social)

And I know we overuse the meme, but it applies: every time this happens, they go full Principal Skinner and insist it’s the children who are wrong. We know for a fact, Democrats want a younger, more progressive party, and the people in charge respond by seeing if Liz Cheney is free again.

I try to remember that while they were fighting the ban on gender affirming care for minors here, one of the (trans) lawyers did a thread reminding folks that they're really good at making this feel like an overwhelming groundswell, but it is one clown car of debunked experts on a road trip.

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

I want ALL OF THESE NOVELS.

thinking about this a lot rn. we just watched GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK and like. idk man. i think everyone should do themselves a favor and learn in some way more about how we have actually been here before, and how we claw it back. it not only *can* be done. it’s *been* done, in living memory.

Watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. "Some folks aren't even in town for football" My brain:

Dammit, I've got too many other things to do to have this sudden burst of creative urge.

I can’t think of a better reason to try to post here more often than to share that @salemhorrorfest.bsky.social submissions are open!! This is my favorite festival, and I can’t wait to be back in Salem next year.

AND THEN THEY LOST. THEY ALL FUCKING LOST TO REPUBLICANS. IT WAS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO AND THEY NEVER GOT ELECTED AGAIN BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST VOTED FOR THE REPUBLICAN. DO ACTUALLY NOT FUCKING COMPREHEND WHY THAT HAPPENED

Friendly reminder: Using alt text just to make a disparaging comment about the text you're screenshotting defeats the purpose of alt text. e.g. "bullshit corporate statement" as alt text for a screenshot of a company's statement. The alt text should include the full text of the statement.

I called the jerk store and you answered the phone! Because the jerk store closed down and became a vape store, and you’re the new manager. It was really nice to hear you’re doing better, it sounds like you’re in a much better place these days. I hope you and Brenda work it out. Love ya, brother.

TikTok will be co-owned by China and Trump allies, Paramount was sold to a pro-Trump billionaire who's also set to buy Warner Bros, X is owned by an apartheid-bred fascist, WaPo and Meta are owned by Trump-cowering billionaires, and Murdoch owns the Fox empire. Here's why media has a liberal bias.

I truly don't understand how democratic leadership think they are going to move forward after voting to honor a white nationalist who essentially called Black women—the base of the party—stupid. It's insulting. I find it personally insulting.

FFS. Kansas's referendum was overwhelming in favor of abortion rights, 59.2% vs. 40.8%. But, I'm sure that picking the losing side of the issue while completely alienating your base is the path to a Democratic Senate seat. Ezra can't even "centrist" right, by just following the polls.

The fuckin 880 AM NYC news station. "News and weather on the 8's" At least it wasn't super editorialized and just reported.

The gap of time between receiving my covid vaccine and the side effects kicking my ass gets shorter every year. With the first doses it was a full 24 hours before I felt miserable (down from "lousy" when I woke up that morning) but now it's down to 12 hours apparently, shivering in bed at 1am.

THIS!! All that "both parties are the same" rhetoric totally disregards the blood, sweat, and tears that Black folks and other progressives spent over the past couple centuries to get us this far. All that work and then this generation was just too lazy to vote.

I think it's becoming clear that if you like indie creators, you're going to need to support them any way you can. And that doesn't mean money, just spreading worth of mouth can be powerful as well.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched? I'm doing more again because I watched too much stuff this week, most of it good, some of it great. Parallax View is a new fave from the paranoid 70s, Mummy is a classic improved upon by its later versions, and #Alive is just fun. #Letterboxd

Ryan is out here walking the walk of meeting horrible movies where they are and drawing enjoyment out of them like wringing the last bit of dirty dishwater from a sponge. The worst thing a movie can be is boring. Pretty much anything else you can work with, even if you're just angry at it.

The Disney parodies… holy shit

I think two things can be true at once: 1) the Trump/Miller plan of a splashy military invasion was foiled, expertly 2) they are using their ICE Gestapo to extract terroristic revenge

The widely accepted narrative that Trump "chickened out" on Chicago is completely incorrect. ICE's incursions are getting worse here every day.

@drhbus.bsky.social was literally discussing this with me yesterday!

i remain resolute in my confidence we will win and it will be because we stuck together. dooming and fatalism is not how any of us will get out of this mess. i’m saying this as a veteran climate journalist who is a trans woman. if i have more hope than you, think of what that says about your view

The US is the only country to vote against the ceasefire and because of its stupid veto power, that’s all that was required. Security Council resolutions are, unlike most UN or UN-adjacent entities, binding on member states.

Comedians are far quieter today than I would have hoped.

When a big name reposts/shares something from someone I know I always get excited. I KNOW THEM, WE WATCHED SOMEONE EAT CAKE OUT OF THE TRASH AT A PARTY ONE TIME TOGETHER BACK IN '09, THEY KICK ASS

There is not a shred of evidence that vaccines are harmful for children, but I’m relatively sure the science is settled about measles.
