The Thing (1982) Director: John Carpenter

Happy pride to the super bisexuals

We wanted to understand why so many young New York City Democrats turned out in last night’s primaries. So we talked to three retired Republicans at a Capital Grill in White Plains

It may be Saturday night, but I'm going to church. #Hedwig25

Again, I feel like the writers this season are bludgeoning us with symbolism. Just ham-fisted. Incompetence, expensive vanity project, lack of forethought, green algal blooms, inept response worsening the situation. And all this in the REFLECTING pool?! Like, we GET it!

Making shopping decisions ased on which company I hate the least.

Dammit. Why can't we have nice things? I've been a Roku user since they came out, and now it's gonna blare Fox crap at me?

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

#Booksky recommendation - just finished Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots. It is *mostly* fun, but also an insightful look into what is a "hero" and "villian". Or even a hench for a villan. Some very tough elements in here, but really worth the audio listen. share.libbyapp.com/title/5185856

If the NBA had stopped counting points after the Spurs took a commanding lead in Game 4, the integrity of the game would not have been undermined. But no, they had to keep going a full four quarters, only deciding a winner AFTER the Knicks scored the most points. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

You know, I just don't care about basketball or really professional sports in general. But I'm rooting for the Knicks just because I want good things for Mamdami and NYC.

Well. THAT'LL show 'em!

It sounds crazy, but I guess when somebody tells you their only mistake was a Nazi tattoo, its possible they actually made a series of other mistakes that did not happen to produce a Nazi tattoo.

Also, I'm in the middle of this bank robbery so the cops can't stop me know. I mean, I already bought these burlap sacks with dollar signs on them.

Seconded!

Goddamn these people can media. Look, MN pols, *this* is how to media. Go media stuff like this!

C'mon Leslie Stahl. Don't let Marcel and me down. Walk out.

i’m old enough to remember when comic book supervillains were fictional

"You're right, I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars *next* year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I'll have to close this place in... sixty years." Charles Foster Kane.

Also, perhaps hoping to get a Soccer Peace Prize in addition to a FIFA Peace Prize.

STUPID WORK: BE MORE OVER!

Really enjoyed iloveboosters.film. Worth a rewatch of Sorry to Bother You. Go see something *really* original (even if it's not this).

Mi-Sant rocks.

How did this movie drop for this weekend and it is just the first I am hearing about it? I am OUT of the loop. www.iloveboosters.film

Wow. Really well written and at the end just kind of sad.

A lot of y'all have it twisted. You think I'm against the GOP and pro Dem. I'm not. I'm against racism and transphobia and homelessness. I'm pro-immigrant, pro-women, pro-unhoused people. Conveniently for y'all, US racism often comes from the GOP, so it feels like I am "on your side." 🤷🏿‍♂️

Yes, but also ... Jo Martin as Bond and Boyega as Moneypenny.

For those not following the story, the MN House Sleaker is refusing to bring a vote to the floor on banning assault weapons and magazines, among other measures. They don't want to be on record, but we won't forget .

A recommendation for A Chorus Line from Park Square Theatre in Saint Paul. It's a big show, and the performers really poured their hearts into it. Great dancing, some really strong vocals, and really just a lot of fun. www.parksquaretheatre.org

You know, I am starting to suspect that this supreme court may not be entirely on the up and up.

Just got my @nebula.tv renewal notice. I am so happy to be financially supporting such a great collaboration of creative people. What bang for the buck against other streaming platforms. Thanks, Nebula, for being a thing I pay for AND I feel good doing so.

What a joy listening to Dr. No by Percival Everett. AMAZING wordplay, just really entertaining. I'm an audio-first book person, and the reading by Amir Abdullah is just fun. #booksky www.graywolfpress.org/books/dr-no

I can’t believe we’re still doing this. Knight Rider is actually the driver. The car is “Knight Rider’s Monster.”

don’t

I keep thinking about the ease with which they cancelled elections over the last 24 hours

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

Every horror movie set in MN from now on must have a character who notices things are off in this town as they look for a gas station, then sees the old state flag flying next to a trailer labeled "city hall" and cries out: "No no no, Greg — keep driving. Don't stop here."

The leadership our community has been lacking. (I am 39% joking.)

So, maybe a quarter of all worldwide economic activities captured by their AI tools, without regard to competitors like Anthropic, Google, OpenAI...

<ingress> Really excited about this one. I've walked 25,000 KM playing this game. Okay, on with your day. </ingress>

Wait. You’re sure? You’re positive? Darmok AND Jalad at Tenagra? Okay. I’m putting some things together now.

White House bunker to include “Jesus-grade resurrection cave” donated by Peter Thiel, says Trump.

looks like today is “find out” day

Elmo is WEAK on securities regulation

We should celebrate the defeat of Orbán; but I would caution folks from hot takes about applying it 1:1 to American politics. There are rich lessons that can be applied but we should recognize their complexity and context. But take heart; authoritarians lose. Gratitude to Hungarian organizers.

Timeline cleanse - Onion Girl (Live) from Holly Cole. This song gets me. EVERY. TIME. youtu.be/IygyIfbsJQc?...

is this all polymarket shit?

Honestly, a little refreshing to see a mainstream media outlet just plainly state the record of the Trump administration. Nice, @startribune.com
