All theoretically conceivable parades have the right to exist, and the mayor of New York City must march in each of them.

Charles Murray let’s fight, you’ll get to feel like a man again, I bet it would be very fun and cool

This week @benverschoor.bsky.social and I take time to talk about Daniel Day-Lewis in the very slowly unfurling and artsy film by his painter son Ronan miseenscreen.libsyn.com/episode-13-a...

important note from libcrusher:

Gustave Doré’s Haunting Illustrations of Dante’s Divine Comedy

Diane Keaton was in "better" movies, but The First wives club came out when my parents were in the midst of a miserable divorce, and it became one of my mom's favorite movies. 1/2 youtu.be/dRLdtDYoVX8?...

The most consistent narrative throughline of this film is Mark Kerr and Mark Coleman's relationship, and that's not an exaggeration

New episode with @benverschoor.bsky.social is now live! We're talking Tooth Fairy, we're talking lip sync music scenes, we're talking about a non Sopranos film with a lot of Sopranos actors, we're talking about Dwayne taking the Oscar challenge 2k25! miseenscreen.libsyn.com/episode-12-t...

This is the aesthetic of the future

🐹 Before viral videos on TikTok or YouTube, there was Hampsterdance. Full of dancing hamster GIFs & a sped-up tune, it became one of the internet’s first viral hits. You can still dance to it on the #WaybackMachine ➡️ web.archive.org/web/19991222... #Wayback1T 🧵

He had an omniscient player on hand to shoot him with a slingshot if he let his mind wander, *obviously*

My buddy Zelda has very strong opinions on this stuff. A reminder that her dad left explicit instructions that he did NOT want corporations to be able to do this to him and that means us too. The bare minimum here is to respect the wishes of those who said NO.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

Gotta love PTA getting Leo to do his own meme in the context of armed revolutionaries

As more people are seeing One Battle After Another be sure to listen in on @benverschoor.bsky.social and I's conversation about the film as well as two revolutionary themed films, one of which is a very funny one given the content of a specific OBAA scene. miseenscreen.libsyn.com/episode-11-o...

Is Godzilla 1998 worse than 9/11? Tune in to find out!

We are losing something by having newsrooms where everyone who has more than a few years’ experience has gotten fired. I don’t fault a young writer for not knowing about things that happened before she was born. But now there are no editors to help give context to these stories, either.

It me

This is amazing news, but would it kill them to do a digital transfer so it can play outside the major metropolitan areas? How many theaters are equipped for 35mm and 70mm showings anymore?

People don't know that ALF is an acronym for Alien, Likes to Fuck

Jane Goodall was one of those ever-present figures even from childhood. I'm sure I first heard about her from Zoobooks or National Geographic. How does someone like that command attention today?

People don't know that ALF is an acronym for Alien, Likes to Fuck

I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.

To Donald Trump: Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities. Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US. Stop attacking the 1st Amendment. Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.

'No femmes, fatties, or blacks' will be Hegseth's military retention policy as well as his Grindr profile

just a quick shoutout to those folks who came on here earlier this year to defend wurman as a legitimate and good faith scholar

I can't get over how the right-wing doesn't understand modern militaries, with the majority serving non-combat roles. You think the best IT security & logistics personnel spends two hours in the gym every day to look like the cast of 300? They're at furry conventions and model train shows.

The most unqualified SecDef in U.S. history would like to talk to you generals about merit

Having a normal time in Debug Rooms

pete hegseth, who you will recall has been accused of domestic abuse and sexual assault, has announced a new policy by which you cannot file anonymous complaints of mistreatment. sex criminal solidarity.

Probably the best part of our latest episode is @benverschoor.bsky.social torturously attempting to remember the name of the film he knows I watched but cannot remember the title of due to Kojima poisoning his mind. miseenscreen.libsyn.com/episode-10-him

The Riyadh comedy fest feels like yet another result of nihilistic hypercapitalism where people who got famous supposedly speaking truth to power are still absolutely going to take a giant paycheck from openly evil people because "getting yours" is the only recourse anyone feels like they are given.

I had to talk to him. Here is Glen, a retired carpenter who looks like John Carpenter.

the Command & Conquer series is 30 years old today we so have an excuse to share this iconic moment with Tim Curry

No joke these hacks tell could be funnier than the phrase "Ryadh Comedy Festival." Ryadh! A real comedy Mecca!

Returning to a subject I was discussing this morning on X, I think a single video like this does more to radicalize people against ICE than any loaded rhetoric any politician has ever used, and DHS should think very hard about the consequences of supporting this kind of behavior from its agents.

At the West Coast premiere of the new Butthole Surfers documentary 'The Hole Truth And Nothing Butt' Tuesday night, the band surprised the audience by reuniting for their first performance together in eight years

Forget everything you already know about America's most notorious dead person. Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile is in select theaters October 2.

If you've ever wondered what I would sound like as a Southern Baptist preacher, tune in!

I like this reading, though I think Lawrence of Arabia and even Gone With the Wind are much too kind a comparison. They are more like the glut of popular but forgettable spectacle epics that left little footprint behind. Who remembers 1966 box office champs The Bible: In the Beginning... and Hawaii?

Although, making everything a subscription does make one vulnerable to large swings in customer satisfaction (or dissatisfaction). Mass collective cancelation can have a bigger impact than a long slow boycott.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Kathy Bates is a terror (complimentary)

We're really back in bleach-drinking territory again
