You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

RIP Marcia Lucas, a filmmaking legend, from editing to creating Star Wars. “Marcia was a force. A true trailblazer for women in film and one of the most influential editors in cinematic history; she helped redefine what film editing could be and paved the way for generations of women who followed.”

La Jaguarina, aka Ella Hattan, "Queen of the Sword," "Champion Amazon of the World," and "Ideal Amazon of the Age" One of the greatest martial artists of the Victorian era, Hattan defeated more than sixty men on foot and horseback, mostly with the broadsword

I'm concerned people think I'm joking about this.

I like the part of the Odyssey at the Phaeacian court where Homer has Odysseus turn to the camera and say: "Now, we've all been having a lot of fun here today, but let's remember who the REAL heroes are---the hardworking bards and harpers in your own neighborhood. Remember to leave a tip, kids."

@mayor.nyc.gov: “I have thought often of the "Margeret Thatcher quote: ‘the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.’ If anything, my friends, it seems that you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess."

has any institution in your life, you, the american voter, delivered harder than the biomedical research complex? a fuckin respiratory virus shows up out of nowhere you get a vaccine ahead of schedule. meanwhile we're knocking out HIV and diabetes and goddamned pancreatic cancer on the side.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

My favorite TTRPG classes: 1. Actually In Love With You 2. Misfit Babygirl 3. Fun Scary 4. Soft Masc with a Gun 5. Monster, but Sexy

My favourite TTRPG classes: 1. Don't make me pull out the greatsword 2. One shot one hit one kill, no exceptions 3. Pastor of a chill god 4. Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll 5. Those are two good options BUT WHAT IF WE DID THIS INSTEAD?

Vaccines save lives. That’s it. That’s the post.

Opinion: It's been six months since Premier Doug Ford's ban on "cash grab" speed cameras, and the data is in, writes @graphicmatt.com. All of us get to say it: we told you so. #onpoli

Still true. 📕

those grand fresh-water seas of ours,—Erie, and Ontario, and Huron, and Superior, and Michigan,—possess an ocean-like expansiveness, with many of the ocean’s noblest traits

I think Conan the Barbarian has to be in the conversation for best soundtrack of all time. Arnold says like 350 words the whole movie, and it falls to the score to do all of the emotional heavy lifting and it doesn't so much rise to the challenge as ascend majestically

You're so easy to read But the book is boring me -Emilie Autumn, "Misery Loves Company"

One of the most chaotic things I've ever tried to film. Dillinger Escape Plan joins Nine Inch Nails for "Wish" in Perth 2009, I'm in the middle of the stage with a DSLR and a death wish, trying to find focus without getting a guitar to the face. Watch to the end for Trent's drum dive. Dudes rock.

The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after Doug Ford banned speed cameras and the effect is so obvious it's not even necessary put a line marking when that happened. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

I wasn't going to participate in the whole #GoT15 thing, cuz... well, I don't work for HBO anymore (haha) but I owe the show and its fans so much, I thought I'd post a bit about the first episode I wrote - 104: 'Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things'... which premiered 15 years ago today... (cont)

Mel Brooks secretly funding Lynch and Cronenberg's æ 'brilliant but hard to sell' post-debut projects while not taking credit because he wanted audiences to take their work at face value w/o the distraction of "Mel Brooks means funny" is the purest thing that ever happened in the US movie industry

Ted Turner was the biggest (and richest) champion of classic movies we have ever seen. Without him, TCM wouldn’t exist. Without him, folks in the industry now wouldn’t care about things like restoration and finding lost films. It would still be a cottage industry for a niche interest.

Tony Stella, an artist of immense brilliance and prolific output, has passed away. He was one of the greatest artists to ever do it. Rest in peace, Tony.

horrible. this country’s turn away from science based medicine in the name of “wellness” is killing children and will kill a lot more. www.propublica.org/article/more...

Y’all pity our teenager, who just told their parents—a librarian & a professor of information science & English—that they couldn’t find 8 sources for a class writing assignment because “there’s basically nothing written about my topic”

Even if we never get a sequel, I only ever encounter two responses to mentioning Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves to people: - They haven't seen it - They fucking adore it I strongly believe it's achieved cult classic status in record time.

very few movies Get It the way Honor Among Thieves does, it feels like a bunch of dipshit buddies hanging out and trying to one-up each other with nonsense while the exasperated DM tries to get the campaign back on course anyone who has ever played a TTRPG recognizes the feeling immediately

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, socialist idea? 140 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 6 workers and a 13yo boy lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea. A 🧵

Kinda tired of the "historians will say they're close friends" meme. Babe, we've been screaming about how gay everyone is for *decades*. Funding for history keeps getting cut as a result. There are entire moral panics about it. You just haven't read any history since highschool.

I am once again tapping the "it is a genuine qualitative break from 99.9% of human history that society can now produce massive food surpluses with the labor only a tiny percent of the population and nobody has any idea how to grasp this" sign.

This, to me, is one big reason Khan works as played by Ricardo Montalbán and why similar characters (or the reboot version) so rarely do. They always play the character as if revenge is the MOTIVE. Montalbán realised that revenge has to be the CONSEQUENCE. The motive is loss and regret.

People are dunking on this, but what a great sign that a word has truly established itself in the lexicon.

When I teach print history, I have a repository of little facts I share to help both demystify very old objects and ask students to resituate the codex as technology. It's ✨️ cute little fact time ✨️ The space between lines is called "leading" in Adobe because metal pieces physically separated text.
