"okay guns can't KILL vampires, but they can sure as hell blow limbs off" is the great American contribution to vampire lore

Bisbee is one of the most remarkable places in the U.S. I've ever been. It's like aliens took a block of 1960s San Francisco and dumped it into the hills of Arizona and everyone just rolled with it and didn't complain.

A literal Love Shack

Saw this meme and I did it. Opening line to Neuromancer.

Don’t just let it be terrible, LEAN INTO it being terrible, because no one’s going to see it. I only bring this up because someone mentioned just this week that this trick is useful, but I *still* 30 years in, when stumped, write this on the top of the page.

A family of Ravens is putting the goth back in gothic at NYC's largest cathedral--St John the Divine. There are five mouths to feed, so the parents are staying busy! ⛪️⛪️⛪️ #Ravens #Cathedral #birding

TIL!

This better not upset the flow of goods into my important mercantile port city!

The things you get up to when you're a burned out artist lmao.

This is my favorite Artemis II photo.

I said "show me the money!" the other day to someone and got a blank stare. At which point it occurred to me that this movie was "old" lol It bums me out that, for the most part, very little dialogue in contemporary TV or film is memorable — sticky — the way it was in older projects

And whatever language is good for, a sign, a message left up there that reads: HERE MEN FROM THE PLANET EARTH FIRST SET FOOT UPON THE MOON JULY 1969, A.D. WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND. Then returned to continue the war. - 1969, Alex Dimitrov

If we had national high speed rail most of us could be in DC by 5pm eastern

I don't consider this to be a wrong answer

The author's brazen fetish, presented with such hedonistic flair and and open pride it makes you feel a little embarassed for needing to hide your own passions behind self-effacing jokes in order to preserve a sense of safe, pseudo-ironic detachment

THE ISLAND’s incredible. It’s a post-JAWS Peter Benchley adaptation from Universal itself, and it has that A-film gloss, and it is total unredeemed trash. Complete. The quiet but close similarity between airport novels and the grindhouse was never more apparent

This Friday has been brought to you by the Baked Potato Council. Baked Potatoes: Why not have one?

New bit I've perfected if anyone brings up a problem: I don't really follow politics but it was never like this before Trump. "But the Democrats and the funding and--" Yeah like I said I don't really follow that. There was always politics but before Trump it was never like this. That's all I know

It occurs both of the data center and its guards could be taken out with a Super Soaker

So instead of it being one night where everyone can say “Oh hey, job well done!” it becomes this factory for egoism (for some actors at least) But I do agree with @markharris.bsky.social that the “Oscars capture a moment each year that lets us see how the industry wants its aspirations represented”

"Why do ladies love gay smut" is probably an easier question to ask than "why has Hollywood ignored this potential highly lucrative market for so long," because one puts the onus on those wacky horny ladies and the other puts the onus on people paid millions to know this stuff

Stay on target. STAY ON TARGET … 🎯

there's been an effective curfew for cars on the road since 9pm here in new york and all i can think about is "cities aren't loud, cars are"

This thread is what social media is *supposed* to be for.

Does anyone else remember Nina Katchadourian's found poetry project where she photographed books to make poems.

he is a golden retriever in human form. blond, a little basic, always cheerful, and given half a chance will probably hump your leg. he is peak representation of 80s excess and I love him for that

Having recently seen Manhunter, I'm now imagining a Michael Mann-directed Columbo episode and having an absolutely wonderful time.

Austin Butler has a weird little guy vibe I haven’t seen since Val Kilmer (complimentary AF) and I wish Austin would just be weird more often

as far as purely psychological analyses of the situation go this one seems pretty convincing to me

I had a playlist for when he lost the 2020 election, but it'll work here too

one of my favorite architecture writers is at it again!!!!

Over the past few decades, scholarly consensus has grown that the so-called "panic" caused by Orson Welles' War of the Worlds was largely a myth produced by a newspaper industry attacking its newest competitor and faulty research methods in a Princeton study. But these days I'm starting to wonder...

It is currently 'packs of coyotes walking across the Charles River' cold outside.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

feels bad to do goofy intellectual self indulgence at the end of the world but ya gotta do it while it lasts

I miss my ability to be surprised by things

Resistance is futile

Someone pointed out that influencers use serotonin/dopamine/cortisol/oxytocin like they’re the four humors and now I can’t stop seeing it
