Ugh! It is NOT fucking GROK that should be “under fire.” How is everyone so willing to separate this stupid computer entity from its human master? This situation removes any excuse for anyone in news media to still use Twitter.

MERMAID IN THE BLACK LAGOON (Jack Arnold, 1955) An oceanographer convinces the beautiful star of an Orlando Aquacade to accompany his documentary film crew to an ill-famed region of Amazon rainforest. Starring Esther Williams, Jeffrey Hunter, Walter Pidgeon, Ricou Browning.

He needs to resign. He’s acting like it’s a different era. I do not understand how these people can be this detached from reality.

The entire Senate Democratic contingent needs to resign in disgrace tonight. Their complete surrender to Trvmp’s narrative is beyond pitiful. No real opposition party would concede a single point to Trvmp’s kakistocracy.

Not gonna lie, kinda impressed with this. The UK government usually seems nearly as pitiful as our Congress. But here their Foreign Secretary’s statement is even more forceful than Senator Schumer sending a really really really super strongly-worded super serious I’m-very-concerned letter.

probably bc it looked sick as hell

23 days ago Seth Moulton voted to supply $900 billion to the Trump regime's war machine in exchange for segregation laws for trans people.

Look at these assholes. Generally a “situation room” wouldn’t have gold ballroom dining chairs and walls made from draping. Are they so lazy that they can’t meet in their actual workplace? So gross.

The very question that many of us have been asking for the past year. They are the weakest opposition leaders of any opposition in living memory.

For a project I'm working on, I read Jules Verne's novel TWO YEARS' VACATION. I'm gonna be very honest: it sucks. When I was a kid, I loved A JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH and 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, and those held up on an adult reread a few years ago. But this fucking Two Years'...

"...and wE mAkE nO aPoLoGiEs for SaYiNg sO." This is some high-cringe shit. I might be feeling second-hand embarrassment from reading it.

Too many times, when I get on an airplane, I blindly put my trust in the professional pilots, the so-called, “experts” in the cockpit, and not the guy in 14C reading a John Grisham book or his napping wife in the sweatshirt with a tiger on it. That ends now. This, the year I die in a plane crash.

I don’t know about this. Pickleball keeps hordes of olds from roaming the streets and sowing havoc in our neighborhoods. They need an activity.

wild to me that journalists got so scared of being called “liberal media” that they spent my entire adult life dismantling their own industry, reputation, and personal moral compasses. now journalism is an explicit arm of corporate fascism and they’re STILL scared of “having lefty bias” accusations.

AERIAL INVASION (Mike Usher, 1939) A Kentish inventor sells his dirigible design to the newly crowned German Kaiserin. Unbeknownst to him, this aspiring “Alexandra the Great” plans to use his creation to conquer the world. But sexual attraction has a way of upsetting even the best-laid plans...

Welcome to 2026, the future time of METROPOLIS, released in 1927.

Welp there it is. If you still subscribe, now you know exactly what you're funding

Let’s resolve en masse to make 2026 a year of relentlessly and savagely treating billionaires and their apologists like complete shit.

Mocking fascism works.

Correct.

It would be a shame if hundreds of orcas were to become aware of this.

While searching for something else entirely, I happened upon the first episode of this new-to-me podcast @badbooksbadppl.bsky.social wherein they discuss this totally fucking amazing novel BLEAKWARRIOR by Alistair Rennie. I have for many years looked for just one other…

I was listening to a show about hypnosis and it reminded me of an incident in high school where, for some reason, the school brought in a dorky stage hypnotist/magician for an all-school assembly. This dude enlisted a student volunteer for his hypnosis demo. While allegedly under hypnosis, this…

wouldn't faking a starship captain's death in front of a vulcan high priestess cause a diplomatic incident like five minutes after the end of the episode? or did starfleet just conspire for years to keep them fooled. "Oh yeah, poor captain Kirk, shame how he is dead, still."

Agreed. I am a hater. anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Would pet and give treats. 10/10.

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Neil DeGrasse Tyson actually said on this tv show that he’s shocked that Americans at large don’t understand science and said it as if that is a very recent insight for him. One of the smartest persons ever has no idea how bad the condition of our society is. We are so fucked.

HOME ALONE 5: HOME INVASION Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), a veteran FBI criminal profiler, recruits a pair of recidivist criminals (Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern) to help him burgle the house of a man he suspects to be a Rube Goldberg-inspired serial killer (Tobin Bell).

The War of the Worlds (Eugène Lourié, 1952) Ray Harryhausen's spectacular stop-motion animation is the highlight of this adaptation of H. G. Well's classic tale about a Martian Invasion.

Making some mulled wine in the Instant Pot for our Xmas Eve guests. Its aroma is amazing. Some more details in the ALT text.

From the day job earlier this week: 2 steel bowls each containing 6 pounds butter, 12 cups white sugar, 5 cups brown sugar. They’ll each get combined with 5 cups molasses, 16 eggs, 40 cups flour and half cup each pie spice and baking soda and 3 tablespoons salt. The cookies for our s’mores.
