they’re showing Polymarket odds on the Golden Globes broadcast? what the hell lol I know we’re not talking about the most distinguished history in awards shows, but sheesh. Why not take the opportunity to have the celebrities do live ads for slot machine games

a friend caught me flat-footed because I couldn’t actually say why black cherry soda is such a thing with us Jews, and then I found out we’re simply the market for the one brand

Fascists can’t invent violence or death, those things just kind of exist with no owner. Fascists borrow them, like big invisible shoulderpads that will lend a formidableness they don’t have. It doesn’t work. They’re just losers for wanting to kill, and losers for killing

the DSA, the Federal Reserve, and the ladies who lunch have formed a popular front — it remains only to see if any elected Democrats will join them.

*Chef's Kiss*

Thinking for no partiuclar reason today about the brief fad for 'disability competency training' training for cops where a well-paid consultant would tell police not to shoot us. This was also the era of 'register your autistic kids so police know not to shoot them.'

“Democrats” is definitely selling him short, nobody likes this

“Why don’t Americans protest?” And then it’s just a slide show of pictures from the largest protest in American history followed by the news coverage of said protests.

that "oh my god it's Sunday night" feeling of dread

Not just the encampments. People like Kristof admire the protests that happen ELSEWHERE. They critique those that happen where they live. This is a feature not a bug.

quietly said “noooo” reading this

No indoor drive-in tonight; my guy is feeling poorly so we’re just watching random TV But if he dozes off I may put on SONG OF NORWAY as a prank

every once in a while I get reminded that that block at the Myrtle Ave stop with the Dunkin Donuts and the Checkers is this random object of fascination for people from out of town

wasting away in

yesssssss

This is so real, they tried it this morning in Bloomington. They stopped a man, people started honking horns, they split up to fuck with everyone else, which brought more attention and more noise, people got out of their cars and started filming, they left. They're cowards.

Actually this movie is a triumph if only for the amount of guns.

the brief window when they refused to release unrated cuts on Blu-ray was interesting. The remake of DARK WATER had this lousy “unrated” tinkering on DVD that was the only way to see it in widescreen, but on BD you got the superior theatrical. And actually I think it won, that unrated is nowhere now

now watching BASIC INSTINCT 2 lol it is not my favorite movie or anything, and I think it should have done that “crescendo that cuts off” trick on the soundtrack only once, but you want trash? It’s trash

no one suspects the strawberry

found this hard to read

I have never felt prouder than the time I slipped on a wet floor at my first job, fell directly on my ass, like feet swept up in front of me & everything, & when I looked up at the restaurant full of customers I realized that not a single person had even noticed

added mayor Mamdani to notified posts, let’s see how that goes

everyone don’t eat this, it’s just unsold Neuticles

the president of America, everybody

*entering the booth* forgive me for I have sinned. this week I helped make a vertical video. I did it for money

yay - I’ve been doing this editing work all week where it was just “illustrate what they’re saying with stock footage,” sent off a cut last night, and today got “love it, no notes, can you do the rest of this series”-level feedback 😏🍸

1. Cult of the Drive-in is in this, along with many other great games by amazing creators. 2. Access to mental health resources is very important. As someone who struggles with anxiety, I fully support this cause.

A really wonderful piece about my album from @erdanton.bsky.social. Please check it out and the rest of his cool blog about Western Mass / CT indie music.

perfect photo btw

someone please tell them they represent the great state of New York and New York is not about that cagey spineless bitch baby life

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

i have so many good carol stories. carol: so right now we are actually in the midst of a fifth or sixth great extinction kid: starts getting very scared and crying carol: dont worry! it will be ok!!! LATER carol: “of course i couldnt tell him the truth! we could all be doomed, what do i know!”

it’s been a very long time, but one of my darkest and dirtiest secrets is that I liked this movie just fine

Bari will never explicitly say "it's fine for masked agents of the state to murder civilians." But she will say, again and again, that the people who are upset about masked agents of the state murdering civilians are hysterical, illegitimate, censorious liars.

This month at @ifccenter.bsky.social, CRUISING THE MOVIES honors the recently departed Rosa von Praunheim with his masterpiece I AM MY OWN WOMAN--one of the few trans biopics to truly feel as radical and as original as its subject. Join @schlockvalue.bsky.social and me as we celebrate an all-timer.

silver lining, when’s the last time someone made you think about Ivanka

Seems like the state of Minnesota doesn’t really need whatever investigative materials the feds are holding back

We've removed the paywall from this guide so everyone can access it. 👇 Stay safe.

everyone’s claiming that the ICE deputy who murdered that lady wasn’t injured, but I’ve seen a new, explosive video showing that after he ambled away from the scene and got into a car he sat on his balls. Sat right on ‘em

Don’t do it!

damn, that Chevy Chase documentary might be the first thing to make me regret dropping cable TV

me buying the remastered 7th Guest game for mobile: haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! me getting stuck on another chess piece puzzle: well this fucking sucks, what the fuck

asked my husband and it wasn’t just me! Quiet streets today, weird stuff

*putting a wish in a bottle and sending it out on the sparkling sea* an L train car that doesn’t smell like diarrhea

Vincent Price really excelled at playing a guy with a dead wife

*watching Hannibal* how come I never get to “lose time”

I just love real America so much

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL is screening at the Palm Springs International Film Festival this Friday and Saturday! I'll be doing Q&As along with producer Jim Fall, composer Eduardo Daniel Victoria and motion graphics artist Craig Smith- come see what Deadline Hollywood calls "exceptional... It is a gem."
