Forgive me. I am a child and this is what children do-

🔔 NEW VIDEO! 🔔 In this return to my circa 2018 videos, I explore in detail why the tunnel scene in MEN (2022) is powerfully haunting. youtu.be/gTBNaYtPqAo Comments and shares help the video!!

A good argument for socialism is $1 trillion can’t buy you happiness

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

I've been feeling absolutely garbage about myself lately. I really need to bolster my perseverance with some Dark Souls since that always helps. Might fuck around and try streaming it but who knows?

I don't give a shit if it's super convenient, I am being given more and more reasons to not shop at the new Target like five minutes from my house. I'll drive further and pay more (of my limited funds) to avoid this kind of shit.

What a wonderful resource this! If you’re looking to enter the world of film writing, check it out. @hannahstrong.co.uk thanks for putting this together! 🖤🤍

Sorry folks, wrap up the internet, there's no getting any better. I haven't swooned or geeked like this since @felicia.day liked one of my tweets back in the day or when @gailsimone.bsky.social cheered me on getting back into reading. Thank you @lyndacarter.bsky.social for the sunshine to my day.

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

Justice Jackson's move sounds bad, but read Steve first to understand what she did.

The computer the entire time in DS9’s “In the Pale Moonlight”

"Sulfur Cave" is out, this shit is Shelob's Lair now.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already www.mta.info/article/f-m-...

The company that's pushing this technology should not only be regulated, it should be shut down, & everyone who worked to develop & promote this program should be held accountable in a court of law. Sam Altman belongs under the jail.

Agreed: men should have more sleepovers with their friends and watch Roger Moore duel Christopher Lee.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Four very different kinds of thrillers here, all of them good, three of them great (only because slashers don't do it for me, sorry Halloween). Apollo 13 remains great competence porn, and Pelham is SO awesome. #filmsky #moviesky letterboxd.com/Murphymanifesto/

It's about a full week late, but finally starting my Noirvember watching... Kansas City Confidential (1953) Dir: Phil Karlson Lee Van Cleef? Yes please. Jack Elam? Man, this is gonna be good.

The note is pretty good evidence that the sandwich guy jurors carefully evaluated the legal merits of the DOJ’s case and weren’t collectively engaged in a nullification exercise.

if an elected Democrat can’t make hay of “the president is taking swift legal action to make sure you starve to death” then they don’t really deserve to be elected democrats anymore huh

JUST ADDED! Join us @phillyfilmsociety.bsky.social east for TWIN PEAKS: The Return on Saturday, November 15. We will be slingin' zines, eating doughnuts, and hanging with George Griffith. Tickets 🎟️ Here: filmadelphia.org/movies/twin-...

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy

We had fucking congressional hearings over Mortal Kombat.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

Hey, friendly reminder that Scott Cawthon's donations to the GOP literally contributed to SNAP suspension and you shouldn't buy or stream Five Nights at Freddy's anything.

If you're going to make a post praising an incredible news photo, it's a real bad look when you don't include the photographer credit in the post.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

I am not mentally healthy enough for my coworkers to be playing Christmas music.

A fine example of "AI doesn't know anything, it just picks a statistically good fit for the next word/sentence, with no memory of the previous one." So this one forgets it's supposed to be shilling for pay-us-for-reviews and pivots HARD in another direction.

"More than half of the political content came from accounts that used hateful or extreme language." Obviously, nothing in this analysis of X's data surprises me, but I am still sad and disappointed that Twitter, a tool I loved, where I met so many great people, has been so ruined by just 1 person.

That’s the second reported and sourced story on US soldiers not being fed today

​“I get emails from the NYS Dems, and you look at the list of meetings, and all it is is fundraisers. There are no meetings. And who holds meetings? @demsocialists.bsky.social holds meetings. @workingfamilies.org holds meetings." —Steve Beck, retired @dc37nyc.bsky.social member

Now watching... The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) Dir: Joseph Sargent The opening of this movie is my gold standard for efficiently setting up a story. It wastes no time getting the guys on that train.

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

I should mention this again: Worldbuilders Market worldbuildersmarket.com/search?q=mar... has Murderbot and Sanctuary Moon merchandise where the proceeds go to charity. At this point as far as I know there is no other licensed official merchandise.

Uninstall Grammarly NOW. They've partnered with an AI company and actively scrape your writing to train its models.

The Democrats won several VA House seats where winning looked like a pipe dream going into the election. The Dems won these seats because they recruited candidates and actually campaigned. Important lesson for 26--the electorate is pissed--but you can only win when you run. Run everywhere!

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

A lot of pop culture popular with liberals during the Obama administration has been swept into the same bucket marked “neoliberal,” with little attention paid to their actual thematic ideas, aesthetic presentation, or character dynamics. (Deleted an earlier version of this for boring reasons.)

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected. Now think about how you feel after last night's election. You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out. You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off. Remember this.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

As a nice bonus joy for Mamdani winning, we also get the delight of knowing Cuomo lost

His politics are awful & he's a horrendous racist, but the low bar is "acts human and has principles" and he clears it easier than the rest of the GOP. It really seems like Sliwa loves NYC more than he wants power. I hate that the bar is so low that a racist passing it is worth recognizing.
