Entities cave to Trump because they think pissing him off is the worst thing that can happen to them. Force them to choose between that and pissing off everyone else bsky.app/profile/labl...

in closing,

That Iron Chef judge did other stuff?

cartoonists handing the same 5 dollar bill around the Small Press Expo but it's the entire economy somehow

They definitely made the most out of that giant new soundtrage that Elstree specifically built to keep Star Wars in London.

remembering this untouchable pair of comments

This from a magazine that just laid off one of the most prestigious TV critics in the world as part of a move to more shallow engagement with broccoli-haired tweens.

*mournfully shooting off a tshirt cannon into the sadly cheering funeral crowd*

I always forget the efficiency of the valet scene, which at first seems to be just to signal that Bond is "one of the good guys who hates snobs" (despite the Bond franchise being nothing BUT a snob fantasy) but then doubles as his way to get into the club's security office:

Even though I only usually watch the first half of the movie (I love the whole fluffy fantasy of everything that happens at the casino), my only real note for the whole movie is that you don't need "One sympathizes". It's redundant!

Speaking of Dick Tracy:

In another bit of bad timing for Disney today, funny that this is happening just as Disney is trying to get this exact same demographic to forget that Daft Punk exists as a new NIN-scored TRON movie is about to flop into theaters.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd4u... really good video by @helioscopepdx.bsky.social about how @stevelieberart.bsky.social and Matt Fraction made the Jimmy Olsen comics and it's a great insight on both story structure and also flying by the seat of your pants when unexpected shit happen IRL.

The entire “Americans want pro corporate liberal centrism” project has failed, and an entire industry that runs on pretending otherwise is panicking. It isn’t just that they don’t want to move the party to the left; they don’t understand HOW to. They’ve literally never thought about it.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Man, those old Garfield games before Davis got off the blow really went dark...

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

Yeah, no, fuck you, Disney, you craven motherfuckers.

Hip Tanaka's still got it

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

I had to rewatch Jim Henson's memorial service to see how people remember a life well lived. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeEz...

Man… if they take me apart at the neck one day, y’all gotta make sure my memorial video gets more that 26,000 views. Idc how, like, even if you just put some greatest hits in there, like when we won PUBG the first time or that time I stunted on Jaden Smith without realizing it.

Tom Oh Shit My Uber's Already Here

Yeah, that articulates a basic problem I had with that movie - despite everything done to cartoon everything else up, it still always seemed like a Beatty vanity project because he didn't even *try* to look like such an iconic character, all while everyone else is swimming in foam rubber.

McDonald's breakfast is still the taste/smell of roadtrips to me - especially if they're consumed at the asscrack of dawn.

Watching the news tonight like

Tezuka & Ishinomori both died at 60. Mizuki (the creator of GeGeGe no Kitarō) died at 93. I think about this a lot.

I might have to ease my way into Halloween season with a rewatch of the first two Alien movies after Alien: Earth hits this week. I love how the whole movie turns on a smirk and “It’s the only way to be sure”.

EVERYONE WISH SCOUT A HAPPY THIRD BIRTHDAY

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

They might've well have made a fucking live-action Katzenjammer Kids movie starring Burt Reynolds

You know what doesn't treat you like a criminal for hooking up a second monitor? Pirated mkvs.

Man I thought I had the perfect new movie-watching setup with this little mac mini I could remote into from across the room. I forgot that half of the streaming services these days lock you out if you're doing any kind of second-screen stuff.

Gee, I can't imagine why a Walt Disney-branded movie about Dick Tracy that looked like a community theater stageplay and starring a middle-aged guy no one under 40 cared about didn't do well at the box office in the summer in between Batman and Terminator 2

Morning Brew, I subscribe to you to maintain a glimpse of American news and your vaguely techbro culture but if you monetize your hobbies, well then they're not really hobbies anymore are they

This is what solidarity looks like!

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

The Goonies was originally supposed to be a way more supernatural adventure story with walking skeletons? I’d *kill* to read those first drafts of the screenplay: www.ilm.com/goonies-40-a...
