i hear there's a new 'alien' out, please watch 30 minutes of me talking about Aronofsky's Noah so you can get to me talking about Prometheus (it's good)

Josh @fevered.earth has a terrific video about Noah (2014) and Prometheus (2012) that I always like recommending to people

It's weird that The Prisoner is probably the most accessible it's ever been to audiences now and yet it's almost disappeared from the average person's discussion about good TV. Which apparently didn't exist before 1999.

feels reductive to call an ai chatbot the ultimate 'ideas guy' but when you consider that it can also literally make the wiki...

Today! Leftfield 2025 submissions close today. airtable.com/appIQDFmYU3o... Here are just four of the hundreds (!) of things we've shown at previous shows: Sloppy Forgeries, Lost On Mars, The Waking Knot, and Far From Noise

Visa employees clearly told to deescalate ASAP MasterCard employees more than familiar with the issue Stripe feeling the pressure ACLU put out a statement CBC covered all this What you are doing is WORKING You are getting RESULTS KEEP CALLING KEEP WRITING WE ARE GOING TO WIN!!

Today’s Labour think their job is to hold the public to account, down to whether we want watch porn anonymously and what toilets we use, and can’t let our desire for health and safety and decent wages and a pleasant environment get in the way of shareholder profits. Sad people!

Why did American TV companies up their game in the early 2000s? Hmm, I guess we’ll never know… 🤔

My tip to anyone trying to promote something on social media: just post whatever inane thoughts you have about politics, culture, current affairs, how ill-advised HBO's forthcoming Harry Potter series is, and then intermittently go 'please buy my newsletter'. It shouldn't work, but it does.

I think a bunch of us (absolutely self included) took Collective Shout’s ‘there was a rape simulator on Steam’ at face value because it absolutely sounds like a thing that would happen but we probably should’ve known better given the decades of history of conservative overreacting to sex in games.

Last fall, I attended the premiere of a film that meant a lot to me. In late January, all of its hundreds of planned screenings were canceled without explanation. For @defector.com, I went digging:

top ceos view trump 2 as an unpleasant but needed corrective against Big Woke that the next president will restore 2007 from a backup over

a powerful message seen at a construction site 🙏❤️

The only correct take on the DCEU Everyone else is wrong.

My feelings on the latest Sydney Sweeney discourse is that she was in Madame Web and Madame Web’s real name is Cassandra Webb because she sees the future like Cassandra and Webb is kind of like Web and she’s a Spiderman

lmao log off luke

said we needed to win this one for the gipper tonight, we lost 12-10 to a team that was one player down.

well what did the genre ever do for me

This is very funny. Wealthy and powerful ghouls think everyone got too comfortable over a century of reform and material abundance, and that we need to bring struggle back to...discipline the proles. But they don't realize that material comfort is precisely what deradicalized everyone!!

£15!!! not bloody likely

"snyder bad" is the "hotel california" of pop movie criticism. i plant my flag.

it's no crime to play the hits but past a point you're just Don Henley, sorry

I don’t see many people talking about this, but Christopher Smalls, Amazon labor organizer, was on a freedom flotilla that was captured and is now being physically assaulted in custody. newrepublic.com/post/198550/...

Yes, itch is basically 1 person: Leaf. I believe that the max itch ever was, was 2 with Amos. AFAIK none of them have a yacht. Love it or hate it, but when Visa/Master Card knocks at your doors with pressure to close your 10 years old business, you mostly likely panic and do what you can.

another block 😔

Collective gasps in the Debug office this morning thanks to this concept It’s no secret that we’re hardcore Playdate fans (more on that later) so this really gets us excited!

holy shit!

The Substack app apparently push alert promoted a Nazi newsletter to several users. Users have complained about it on Substack Notes but the company hasn’t responded. Generally push alert promos are for content a user is likely to interact with

endlessly irritating my counter-strike team by insisting that it's the bottom of the ninth, bases are loaded, we need to get out there and win one for the gipper,

haters trying to bring a guy down just for putting his skillset out there

All I can ever hope is that you see a post of mine and think “that guy is only medium stupid”

it's no crime to play the hits but past a point you're just Don Henley, sorry

lmfao i picked up a block from the dragonball z abridged guy for my 'it's been twelve years' post. love your work dude!
