i firmly believe — like you would have to give me hard evidence to convince me otherwise — that they feed trump a steady diet of AI slop

I think there's a genuine chance that Trump's handlers regularly show him AI videos. This is straight up 1984 level "don't believe the thing you can see with your very eyes" propaganda.

Brb gonna go mug someone while yelling at them that actually I'm just controlling the flow of their revenue and so shut up that means it's legal

A few great ones off the top of my head: The Good Place The Office (UK) Breaking Bad I've also grown to love the haunted, melancholic, and quite possibly ultimately victorious ending to Twin Peaks

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.

Thanos was the shark. They already jumped it in a super-hyped 2-parter. Nothing left but Very Special Episodes and This Week's Guest Star. The appearances are the only selling point left.

The entire world is suffering from Trumps all consuming envy and hatred of Barack Obama.

While I'll always appreciate so many facets of American culture, and many of it's truly wonderful locales and the many great people I've met from there including friends I love, I don't know how I don't forever hate America for giving this motherfucker the keys to power TWICE. It's unforgivable.

We've been taking them very seriously since the start, despite Americans' widespread dismissal. Why do you think we stopped coming to your country and started boycotting your products? It was literally the only issue in our last election.

Kinsol Trestle, Vancouver Island

Staying in such a gorgeous cottage in a serene, utterly private ocean inlet, watching seals swim right in front of you and hearing owls and what sounded like whales in the dark distance it's easy to make the argument that British Columbia truly is paradise on this earth. What an experience.

Enjoyed some extremely nerdy and delicious beer in paradise.

Just arrived at our next accommodation on Vancouver Island and holy fucking shit??

lol how did they know

It's 10pm on New Years Eve, it's -1°, I'm in a forest and I'm getting in a hot tub.

Happy last day of 2025, folks.

It's like James Cameron accidentally lost the script and storyboard for the last 40 minutes of Avatar 3 and just reused Avatar 2s with a couple tweaks. It's so strange. Where's the ending to THIS movie? Where any of what was set up is paid off?

Watching The Frighteners and remembering what a crush I had on Trini Alvarado when I saw this at the age of 10

Let’s decode this: “The Kremlin wants a compliant Ukraine so it can steal its natural resources for oligarch gain, own its Crimean beaches so oligarchs can vacation there, and demolish its government so the Kremlin rules by proxy. This is what it wants for Ukraine — but also for the Baltics, Europe

My 2025 in live music. Damn good year.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

My favourite movies of 2025

Ended up with way more buttermilk than I needed after making pancakes so I marinated a whole organic chicken in buttermilk and salt for 24 hours before roasting it and OH MY GOD

Merry Xmas Eve with my Christmas movie of choice (and enjoying the same Belgian beer as Ray in the film)

Went up Grouse with my nephew today and if it hasn't felt much like winter in Vancouver yet just hop on that gondola because damn it's gorgeous up there

I thought Avengers Endgame was an extraordinary movie, an incredible and audacious conclusion to a wildly ambitious saga. It had a genuinely respectable sense of finality in so many ways. Seeing Marvel undo all that after a series of flops is embarrassing. My interest in this one is at zero.

@gyeincognito.bsky.social the Tinhouse barrel releases are phenomenal. Cheers 🍻

Last day of work of the year. I've done one movie, two series and a pilot. I'm knackered.

The main takeaway from this "number 1 movie when you were ten" thing going around is how much number 1 movies slapped in the 70s/80s/90s Mine is the first M:I I remember seeing that shit theatrically and loving it.

I worked on this pilot back in the spring. I dug the script. Glad it's going to series.

Christ. Poor Conan.

I've watched that Disclosure Day trailer about a dozen times and yeah Spielberg is cooking with something here. My most anticipated. Has been since the day it was announced.

Cannot wait for the new Spielberg but in that trailer I can't say I'm in love with the way it's photographed

The far right inventing a fake white man to credit with the heroism in Sydney just shows how threatened they feel by anything that doesn't fit the narrative they so aggressively push at us.

Wrap party for the A24 movie I just finished tonight, then tomorrow morning I have to be on set at 6:30 for the Disney+ show I'm on now. Been a busy period. Can't wait for the holiday break. I'm absolutely knackered.

An early screening of Alien Vs Predator at the Weta cinema with the cast of PJ's King Kong in the row in front of me. An audience of geeks who almost immediately turned hostile to the movie and soon began openly laughing and roasting it.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Hearing that theme music immediately.

Seriously though the flesh on the wrists is objectively mangled and decaying, right?

Lol get fucked John Rustad.

@ben-coli.bsky.social was at Dageraad tonight and, man, what a truly exceptional beer list right now. And combined with the food truck and such a great vibe, just an untouchable brewery experience.

It’s so humiliating knowing that if I die from some new mutation of smallpox, it’ll be because Olivia Nuzzi couldn’t resist the raw sexual magnetism of a rasping cumfreak who looks like someone carved a Doonesbury character out of drain blockage.

Carney capitulating to Alberta without realising UCP supporters don't actually want a pipeline. They want to feel like perpetual victims and be mad at the Liberals.

Udo Kier fucking rules. RIP.

Tonight is the last show of the Oasis reunion world tour. They pulled it off. Lots of people doubted that they'd stick it out but the vibes have been excellent the whole time. Can't wait for the live album and film.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Oh man I know I'm late to the party here but Weapons absolutely fucking rips.
