unless some uhhh Spanish Parliament stuff happens in there, you are a maximum sicko for watching the speech. go watch Northernlion clip compilations instead

the secret to "Wiseguys on Mars" is that the beat from "Rapture" is actually really good

in Boston they let a guy named "Mike Wankum" be the weatherman for 20 years. this is what you need to do to be a city on a hill

reading the words "John Yoo" in a headline that does not involve compromise to a permanent end really bums a guy out, especially when you have snow shoveling to do

Yoo argued that Trump's executive actions over the last year are meant to restore a pre-Watergate worldview, one where the presidency had "more discretion, more power to it than it does today, and less congressional interference."

On the other hand, John Yoo, a professor of law at the University of California at Berkeley and former Justice Department official during the George W. Bush administration, says the consolidation of power in a strong executive is a return to previous norms.

ignoring every other aspect of Elvira: Mistress of the Dark to focus on Elvira's unhappiness at inheriting land and a big house in Massachusetts

1) It's funny they would put out an HD remaster of a such an awful-looking movie 2) The last two paragraphs of the main review are right. Nothing's more frustrating than the better movie visible just behind the screen filmfreakcentral.net/2026/02/the-...

where is the great millennial novel? where is the great millennial theatrical drama? where is the great millennial 10'x10' representational historical painting?

ROGER EBERT in the OPENING FEATURETTE: The great thing about The Decalogue is how its morality isn't black and white DECALOGUE EPISODE ONE: Watch this guy get his son killed by believing in his false computer god too hard

I can't believe I have to watch all ten hours of The Decalogue to count as one (1) movie in my movie journal that no one else looks at and I make the rules for

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONSTITUTING THE MEANING OF THINGS

all the money and hype that's gone into generative AI, the bullshit box that does nothing good and has the support of the worst people in government, should have been going into the mRNA vaccines, the new AIDS treatments, etc, which the government is killing

"Improv has replaced jazz as America's most popular art."–from the introduction to Improv Nation by Sam Wasson. I would like to have jazz instead please

(as The Decalogue, a mere ten hours of undoubtedly excellent film, sits unwatched in my library bag) I should really get around to seeing Mad Men

there's not really a short-term "strategy" against megabillionaires collectively pouring trillions into their pedophile computer god that's legal to post

I ended up getting the Deadlock invite and doing some bot matches. it's incredible the production values you can achieve when you own the computer game store

dogboner wrote that great post about everyone on Twitter trying to cram the same turd into a single toilet, what, 13 years ago now?

I watched a few more movies and a few more books than normal over the past month thanks to cutting down on social media. now what if I threw that all away and started angling for a Deadlock invite

That was not very Wild Geese by Mary Oliver of you, dude

Violets are pluckable, Roses are thorny, I'm happy to know you well, Let's just be friends

can you imagine how disappointed you’d be if you knew nothing about this book and only picked it up for this particular cover

it's really impressive that The Golden Gate by Vikram Seth, a novel in strict Onegin stanzas, works at all, and it's a cool look at pre-techlord, post-hippie San Francisco, but unfortunately it's mostly a cool stunt

not sure what Calvinism is all about? just remember TULIP! Total depravity, Unconditional depravity, Limited depravity (which is a tricky one when you consider T!), Irresistible depravity, and the perseverance of depravity!

not the most horrifying aspect of the story about the Boston Irish guy currently imprisoned in an American concentration camp, but: ICE forged his signature on documents to make it look like he was agreeing to be deported. How often are they doing that? How often have they gotten away with that?

thank god they got Killers of the Flower Moon on physical media even if I miss the days when an important movie could be distributed by a company other than Criterion or Kino Lorber

Just saw otherwise completely nice seeming guy I follow describe this game as “Just saw my team lose the Super Bowl for a fifth time in my lifetime” which is an absolutely incredible way to describe the New England fucking Patriots lmao

imagine how much people would have liked The Walkmen if they had recorded TWO songs as good as "The Rat"

I gotta tell you, you have no excuse to be a doomer if the National Football League believes we will win

"prohibition in the united states" has this time lapse map that switches from folksy banjo music to ominous industrial sci-fi for the 15 seconds when alcohol was illegal nationwide

Steven Soderbergh … David Holmes … every millennial yearns to return to Ocean's Eleven. it's Black Bag time

sometimes you have a thought that you might want to share with friends online, but is a bit risqué. when that happens, just remember to sing "keep it to yourself" to the tune of "Little Red Corvette"

Oh it got above freezing the other day so I went to the car wash and then finally installed this masterpiece by @bbburgerrr.bsky.social ! My other sticker is from @liftsofillinois.bsky.social 👼

haha damn we sure do have a lot of stuff to put back into place and make better than ever. good thing the anti-Republican waves of my lifetime have always gone pedal to the metal to make a country worth loving

I am a GuyInYourMFA Hater For Life but I do have to admit that 2666 begins with two weedy academics getting maximally horny for their younger colleague
