President Trump has repeatedly made false claims that there have not been any murders in Washington, D.C., since he deployed the National Guard and took federal control of the police force in August. The people whose deaths get downplayed or wiped away in his telling are typically people of color.

oh no the Millie Bobby Brown defense squad has found me

rich people are evil

help hammam!

If I ever stated what I truly felt about Brigitte Bardot on here, you probably wouldn't hear from me again.

On 35mm!

Twitter DMs have become absolutely unusable now holy shit

A monument

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

A Christmas/Boxing Day gift.

Went for round 4.

I generally do not like feeding these trolls, but I certainly could not help myself here.

We're thinking that you just didn't get it.

How about we get rid of the assholes and keep the immigrants. So go away Stephen.

Kind of wild how the take that some of Trump's supporters were "deplorable" was some huge scandal, but regularly screaming about "radical left scum" is just a thing he'll say with no media backlash.

In case you missed it, I wrote about Marty Supreme for @cinemafromthespectrum.com. It rules! cinemafromthespectrum.com/2025/12/25/m...

Happy Marty Supreme Day to all those who celebrate

"IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE is rich in the purest sense of the word because it is so many things: a romantic drama, a capitalist critique, an existential crisis, a chronicle of 20th century American history. But more than anything else, it’s one of the all-time great Dad movies." - Bryan Miller

Whipped up this piece on Meet Me in St. Louis on time for Christmas, after doing my annual rewatch for the holiday season. Least I can say: it's as good a movie as one could hope for it to be. cloudsofgaia.substack.com/p/defining-f...

Can you confirm, @triumphicdhq.bsky.social?

plugging this again. my job looks like it's going to be even more part-time than what they told me when i was hired and my dad's search isn't going well. i was able to pay a few bills with this but my account's wiped out and so are we

Seated for a movie that has no cultural relevance whatsoever.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

So everyone's watching the 60 Minutes that was supposed to be banned and everyone who knows how PDFs work can unredact the Epstein files, it's like the Christmas spirit has irony poisoning this year

Somewhat annoyed that Universal didn't bother uploading the trailer for Nolan's The Odyssey in 1.43:1, especially if the movie was shot entirely with IMAX film cameras. Missed opportunity imo.

Bari Weiss's management of CBS News, together with the Ellisons' desire to maintain a stronghold over the media landscape in the United States, makes for a perfect reason to revisit The Insider by Michael Mann.

Criterion has an absolute godsend customer service. Sent some 4K UHD discs their way to be replaced, and they quickly provided new ones that work beautifully on my system, free of charge.

Guess I'm sort of back on Twitter now.

Bari Weiss is killing stories the right way. by Ezra Klein

I don't think it's deniable that Bari Weiss has blood on her hands, tbh.

I formally invited Ontario premier Doug Ford to watch No Other Choice, but he simply told me "Man-soo should just get a job."

I long ago lost my ability to be surprised that people in power a) are unable to spell correctly and b) refuse to be copy-edited. It’s disturbingly common.

Everyone should see this movie.

An update but in this article from December 2025 Guillaume Broche of Sandfall Interactive has said the studio doesn't want Al involved in anything creative and isn't interested in anything "made" by artificial intelligence. For any concerned about E33 & future Sandfall titles 🤍

Every day there's a headline like "White House to audit teachers who don't let their white students say it" next to a headline like "Find the closest loaf of bread cheaper than $50 with our handy map"

As PatStaresAt touched on, it's so fucking exhausting trying to be a consumer with a moral code right now because a game will come out and you won't learn about the evil stupid bullshit the CEO believes or inflicted until like 6 months later and it just makes feel like a rube

At this point, I need game developers to be LOUDLY against genAI. Cause what I’m seeing is disappointing!

When you realize you need several tax write-offs to be able to still stay afloat after sinking a bunch of money into buying a studio

RIP rob reiner ❤️

has Daisy Ridley suffered the biggest post-Star Wars dropoff? Jesus Christ.

It’s fun that every generation since the dawn of industrialism has had at least one more panic about what’s warping kids (video games, heavy metal, the Lindy Hop, not working in a coal mine etc) but the most measurably harmful things to emotional and intellectual development are being championed

AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH, much like the first two movies, is a visually spectacular experience, but also the most emotional entry yet, building on the world and the characters in fascinating ways. I loved it. More thoughts below! #AvatarFireAndAsh
