The biggest lesson from "the secret history" by Donna Tartt is that it's absolutely necessary that you have a trip sitter if you want to take hallucinogens in the woods

I saw Pillion a couple of weeks ago and not only was it an ABSOLUTE delight, Harry Melling gave one of the best rom com performances Ive seen in recent memory.

BREAKING: Judge who allowed FBI to search Washington Post reporter’s home rips into Justice Department for not informing him of the law that explicitly bars raids of reporters

The NY Times dutifully reporting that the Supreme Court sided with Trump only 42% of the time and with Biden 54% of the time sort of leaves out the necessary context that Biden was doing normal, completely legal presidential stuff, and Trump was doing insane crimes

One last signature series set left at @collectorsparadise.bsky.social! comicsandcards.net/products/sig...

@henrybarajas.bsky.social is a good guy. 🤣

Trump: "I can do anything I want to do to them ... I'm allowed to destroy the country."

Normally the video of the dangerous leader saying "I can destroy the country if I want" is footage that has to be smuggled to the right person after a movie long chase against people desperate to stop its release and their failure to do so results in the leader's removal. Here it's a Friday.

But sure, giggle and guffaw more about AOC saying "um."

100%-If I hadnt made Adult Romance (thanks gumroad for banning it!!!) theres no chance @henrybarajas.bsky.social would have seen my work, let alone put me on Gil Thorp and Death To Pachuco with him. Its a cliche but its true, make the work you wanna make in order to someday do this professionally.

Congrats to my favorite Rachel!!!! @racheaissance.com

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

I hate Trump and his minions, but not as much as I hate all of his colleagues in the Republican Party, who continue to watch Trump's ongoing destruction of the country while doing nothing to stop it. A handful of defectors could end all of this tomorrow.

Someone check on Pam Bondi is she still babbling about the stock market?

My favorite Ralph Bakshi movie by far is playing at Film Forum tonight for anyone in NYC who wants to see his finest film on the big screen!! filmforum.org/film/heavy-t...

Watching another research day get frittered away on emails and reimbursements and little tasks until I have to go in for the job talk at 5.

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

Just found out the hot guy from Wuthering Heights is named Heathcliff and that’s hilarious. The person who made the Heathcliff comic successfully ruined that book through a monumental effort of comicbook foolishness. A powerful win for comics in the war against classic literature.

What theyre really saying is the money thats missing-they took it and dont want to give it back

again for #indieanimationday

gonna go ask some legendary swordsmith who makes 5 swords a year why he doesn't just make 100 swords a year instead

Happy Mardi Gras and your PSA to reject king cake, the weakest of all southern sweet treats.

‘Death to Pachuco’ #5 ends its tale with action, texture, and humanity in spades @imagecomics.com #comicsky #NCBD @henrybarajas.bsky.social @ohhhaeee.bsky.social Read @chriscoplan.bsky.social's review:

Previously: In a world run by science, the government would respond to a Texas measles outbreak by increasing vaccination rates. But today, our government is controlled by dysfunctional, radical idealists like RFK, Jr.

I finally watched Ms 45 and if not for that ending I might have thrown the movie in the trash. Instead, 4 stars AT LEAST

Recent CBS News news: 1. Anderson Cooper leaves 60 Minutes after two decades 2. Stephen Colbert reveals network won’t let him air interview with Dem 3. Producer says politics dictating what airs 4. Owner’s bid for CNN parent back on the table. 5. Not firing Epstein pal.

It's always so frustrating to see pro-AI pieces that frame the argument as "Hollywood is shaking in its boots!" as if it's blue collar vs. the elites when in truth its a bunch of above-the-line Hollywood types worried about all the blue collar jobs that could be lost if AI goes forward unrestricted.

oh yeah all the real director-y touches were v good or at least interesting, kstew is a real one bsky.app/profile/aust...

saw THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER last night and it gets a "what a picture" status rating from me but i didn't know going in that it was based on a memoir and many of the storytelling choices were BAFFLING to me until that key bit of information was relayed in the closing credits

I know a lot of people still like to draw a bright line between movies and television, but you simply cannot fully measure Duvall's greatness without taking in all eight hours of his work as Gus McCrae in Lonesome Dove. Treat yourselves if you can.

Before anyone else corrects me @jasondashbailey.com already informed me on her Sundance Sale-good news for people who love bad news!!!

This week, I wrote about being left behind by cake trends and reclaiming my taste. Also, the subtext of everything I write in 2026 is: Preorder ON EATING! www.aliciakennedy.news/p/an-ode-to-...

This may sound like a joke but I hope Olivia Wilde gets to direct again I mean why has she been benched when Fennell gets to run rampant.

Emerald Fennell wants her characters to behave badly without being bad people and that’s why this version of “””WUTHERING HEIGHTS””” does not work

Lugosi himself was insanely hot, but his Dracula is not.

kind of crazy to see republicans attack thomas massie for doing the thing they demanded for years (release the epstein files)

If there’s one thing good about this era, it’s the degree to which rich people and their sock puppet mouthpieces are being outed as the incurious, morally vacuous so many of them have always been. The tendency to equate “rich” with smart and “better” is extremely ahistorical
