microblogging as a format was designed for posting pictures of your sandwich and jokes about jerking off. every time you try to make it do something else it degrades the core experience

Merrick Garland reads the news over a cup of herbal tea at 10am. "Golly!," he exclaims, before turning to his wife. "Ah well, nothing anyone could have done to prevent this." Wordlessly, she shatters the glass holding her 5-1 vodka-to-OJ screwdriver, leaves. Maybe he'll clean up that mess at least

Love that only like 3 things exist anymore and we’re just going to keep variations of them until we die (which will be soon)

Top 5 miiiiight go something like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Chrono Trigger FFVI Super Mario World Spyro

you guys ever see Looper

rodgers has this guy energy

My birthday’s in 38 days if the universe wants to give me a present

sometimes i really wonder why the most propagandized and least organized people on earth whose *civilians* think of themselves as deputized to run protestors over with cars don’t rise up against their evil government en masse,

Introduce yourself with what almost killed you. Me.

First Film / Last Film

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

This movie wrecks my entire shit. I cried so hard for so long in the theater, my friend thought I needed to go to the hospital. It is pure, elemental longing, I've never seen anything else so quietly wrenching.

Demonstrators set US flag on fire on Place de la République in Paris during the rally against the American military intervention in Venezuela.

I just did something I've never done before: called my senators and my rep. I am a self-conscious introvert inordinately terrified of making cold calls. If I could do it, so can you. 5calls.org even gives you a handy script. Demand impeachment. No excuses. 5calls.org

fucking crying that he wanted the Situation Room photo but is at his Xanadu so they had to do this shit bsky.app/profile/pale...

Criminals are running the country, and it’s going to get even worse. Get active now to stop the dictator or regret it for the rest of your life.

The Trump admin is what happens when you run the Bush admin through AI.

2026 is continuing with 2025’s theme of being awake on the operating table

you don't know me

2026 watch #1: Phantom Thread. I’m just a girl looking for a hungry boy to gently poison into adoring submission.

I never put up crazy numbers, I gotta let movies breathe a bit, but this is about 50 more than last year when my brain was feeling especially broken.

First read of 2026:

lord i see what u have done for others

Social media is going great, in order to make a living, we’re forced to make our own free commercials for the things we’re making until the most of what we’re making is the commercials.

Over halfway through the decade! What are your favorite films each year so far? 2020: First Cow 2021: The Power of the Dog 2022: The Fabelmans 2023: All of Us Strangers 2024: Nickel Boys 2025: One Battle After Another

Seems right.

Fuck it I don’t care anymore

Going into 2026 like…

It’s not even 10 and I’ve had absinthe, help

Over 80% of the wealth on earth is concentrated at the Eden rock hotel in st Bartholomew as billionaires and their pet celebrities congregate for a superyacht NYE festival. It’s not far off from Epstein island either. Etsy witches i call upon thee to do the funniest thing

Still a couple hours left for Trump's aortic valve to turn 2025 around

2025 was a year of survival and I don’t have much to tout in the way of accomplishments (beyond surviving), but I did check a lot of films off my watchlist. Here are my top 20 first-time watches, a couple of which rewired my brain (how had I never seen All That Jazz!??)

Let’s go, on the big screen, baby

Just did a jerkoff motion at a cybertruck stuck in traffic, happy new year everyone

Oh no, oh fuck, oh shit, I’ve stayed up too late and now I’m watching Phantom Thread

New York Movie - 1939 https://botfrens.com/collections/173/contents/3103840

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

Good thing many a university leadership team hasn't embedded OpenAI into their institutional infrastructure 🫠

I know there are bigger fish to fry, but my biggest pet peeve right now is men (it’s always men) who aggressively direct you in traffic while breaking traffic rules. If I’m at an impasse with a male driver with the right of way, 9 times out of 10 he sits there and angrily tells me what to do.

"Financially devastating but morally exhilarating" is a state of grace our enemies will never know

This is going to catch me flack: it's what people who don't know what good writing is think is good writing, and without understanding what makes writing good.

i’m tired of dating apps. i want to meet someone the old fashioned way, through land contracts

Was in a cafe in Santa Monica and made eye contact with a very haggard, post-downfall Mel Gibson who clocked my recognition gave me this desperate “please don’t talk to me” expression as if I would ever.

I was an only child in the 80s with her own TV and VHS player, so the answers to this are endless (Child’s Play, RoboCop, Alien, etc etc), but I think my dad intentionally sitting me down to watch Brazil when I was like 7 because it’s his favorite movie best explains why I am the way I am.

American Canto paperback cover

Anyway. They spent the last decade telling us STEM degrees were the future and the Humanities were worthless then they spent hundreds of billions of dollars to build a glitchy Humanities robot.
