I do not have it in me to deal patiently with bullshit today. You have been warned.

"These images are 100% AI, omg this changes everything" gushes your friend, breathlessly showing you the most obviously fake pictures you've ever seen.

"I can no longer feel the cold Or the emptiness inside And I have long since given up On a place to hide If this be my portion Let it be forever so Now all I wish is a bitter wind That only brings me snow."

I don't know what I thought Vince Guaraldi looked like, but it definitely wasn't this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c8v...

MY OLDEST SON JUST GOT ACCEPTED INTO GEORGE MASON HOW'S YOUR MOTHERFUCKING EVENING GOING

Happy 100th birthday to the one and only legendary Dick Van Dyke!

A+ trolling from Zelenskyy

Satire is dead.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

This piece of music is so beautiful I can hardly stand it www.youtube.com/watch?v=06Ns...

"I just don’t know how to demonstrate what’s happening to the audience without tons and tons of dialogue explaining what’s happening." - Netflix filmmakers discussing their artistic medium of actual literal moving pictures

River Maid is almost done! If you're interested in what's next, check this out.

There is no rescue mission.

This trailer makes me feel stuff. Wind-powered ocean crossings have been a lifelong obsession of mine, and if reincarnation is real you bet your ass I'll be doing this next time around. My hat is off to these women and I can't wait to see this film. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qM7...

This Honest Trailer came out today and it's fun to watch them try to come up with things to criticize about these basically perfect movies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnWW...

Happy Thanksgiving y'all! Stay warm, enjoy your families and for tomorrow morning remember: Charleston All Natural Fresh & Veggie bloody mary mix is the best bloody mary mix.

I can’t stop thinking about Barbara Kingsolver's novel "Demon Copperhead." Few books of late have burrowed into my head and made me feel seen like this one did. I listened to the audiobook (highly recommend) but if I’d read it on the page, every single line would’ve been highlighted. (1/13)

I finished Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver last night and I'm basically going to cry for an entire month now. How's your morning going?

I just watched River Maid from start to finish. It still needs sound, music, and VFX, but the movie is there. Of all the projects Mirandum Pictures has endeavored over the last two decades, River Maid has not only been the most logistically challenging, but also the most personally bruising for me.

The book that this movie is based on is one of my favorites in recent memory. This movie looks like it's going to be a decently faithful retelling, which means you guys are in for a TRIP. youtu.be/5VYsnngkS_U?...

My MAGA friends/family are awful quiet today.

Ah, I see we've reached the "let's split hairs about the what 'pedophilia' means" stage of the conservative campaign to paint the Epstein stuff as either a hoax, or not that big of a deal. Predictable, but appalling nonetheless. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam

It's insane to watch conservatives on my feed freak out that a city that they don't live in (and openly despise) might exercise its democratic right to elect a different person than conservatives would have elected.

If you're as sick as I am of people quoting Orwell who have clearly never cracked open a single one of his books, this feels like it might be a strong antidote. However, you can bet your ass that the people who need this film the most will never watch it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ8l...

Man, Mad Max can still throw a baseball.

Reverend David Black has a Bible open and is preaching to the police now, inviting them to join him in standing with the persecuted inside the detention center. "Which side do you think Jesus wanted his followers to be on?"

Wanna watch the trailer for my new movie?

"I am an old woman Named after my mother An old man is another Child who's grown old If dreams were thunder Lightning was desire This old house it would've burned down A long time ago."

Holy SHIT this was a good movie: boxd.it/bw2GmD

"I died happy in my sleep I died happy in my sleep Our children around and you looking down Heaven's a julep on the porch Heaven's a julep on the porch You and me rocking A grandfather clock is tick, tick, tocking to time We used to wind it."

Few of life's pleasures beat hearing all 3 of your teenage boys yelling at the screen while watching ALIENS for the first time.

If you share this quote all you're really doing is giving away that you haven't actually read much C.S. Lewis to speak of (it's also a dumb quote that represents the exact sort of mealy-mouthed moral flabbiness that Lewis hated). greydanus.substack.com/p/please-sto...

"They told me I was awful, man, that shit did not phase me Tell me how I suck again, my memory is hazy."

Once upon a time there was a version of America that would have refused to tolerate the unprovoked invasion of our cities by federal forces. Does that America still exist? We're going to find out pretty soon, but I don't have high hopes. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

"I just don't know who or what to believe anymore" is often just another way of saying "I spent decades stubbornly defending positions that were clearly in bad faith until I was finally forced to abandon them but admitting that the other side might be right is still a bridge too far."

PAID MODELING OPPORTUNITY: I need a woman, 65-90, THIS WEEKEND for a very short photoshoot in Baltimore, MD. All the model would need to do is pose beside our lead actor as his wife for a few key production photos. PAID $$$ DM me if interested (pic for visibility)

We used to have a saying in college that in order to read a G. K. Chesterton book, all you really had to do was read the first and last sentence of each paragraph and I gotta say the same has proven true about everything Mike Flanagan writes.

I fucking LOVED this movie. WOW. boxd.it/bicm1J

SNL finally took the gloves off and it's a good look. Keep it up, guys. youtu.be/vZb1WO1_lGI?...

There's a disconnect going on between the strategic ineffectiveness of the regime not really changing day-to-day life yet for most people (although for those in the crosshairs, it's changed very dramatically!) and the absolute nightmare totalitarian vision it plainly desires

One week left of the River Maid campaign! Nows the time to push, especially since an anonymous donor has promised us a $750 Matching Matching Gift Challenge. So spread the word! . . #indiefilm #rivermaid #seedandsparkcampaign #seedandspark

Our campaign for River Maid has a week left. I couldn't be more excited about this project, especially since I get to include footage from the actual movie in the pitch video now! Check it out and donate if you can, or at the very least spread the word! seedandspark.com/fund/river-m...

"Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it". - Rabbi Tarfon

I gotta say I'm pretty disappointed that the rapture didn't happen because all those people are still around trying to talk to me.

Welp. They finally got their Horst Wessel. It's been fun, democracy.

If you care about free speech, you should care about this, regardless of where you are on the political spectrum. Except, of course, if where you are is "only I get to talk, everyone else must be silent." If that's the case, you're gonna love this. #jimmykimmel #kimmel #charliekirk #kirk
