If no one in your timeline is grieving the loss of Alice Wong today then you’re not hearing from enough disabled people or even people who listen to disabled people. That’s a massive segment of society to which you will likely belong some day. Might want to turn an ear toward them sooner than later

My most conservative opinion is that we need a return to The Legend of Curly’s Gold being the go-to sequel joke. The kids know nothing of the City Slickers saga and that is a generational failure that we must account for.

It’s so tiring that the only reason we know what we know about Epstein today is because a bunch of Democrats wanted you to forget that they took a bribe from the airlines to sabotage the government shutdown. everything these days, no matter how horrible, is still a distraction

finally beat an online chess bot on easy mode

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things. we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Man this lady in Weapons is a real jerk amiright? Just a grade A butthead.

i’m not generally a spiteful person (anymore) but if on Letterboxd I rate a movie lower than I’ve rated Frogs it usually means that I wish I could catch the director in person and tell them how bad their movie was and how incredibly upset I am to have wasted my finite time with it.

My promise to the American people is that when I die and become a ghost I will speak normal American English instead of that bullshitass reverse delay ghost nonsense language.

Mario Lopez just tried to sell me a predatory Solitaire app if anyone was dying to read a sentence that both tells you where his career is at and is tediously indicative of what’s going on with American capitalism.

thinking about the liberal politicians willing to try to compromise with fascists by abandoning minority groups they don't really like - i wish they understood that fascists will come for everyone eventually. even themselves. fascism unopposed is a ruined state with everyone dead

Watching this new Aliens documentary on Shudder and realizing that Lance Henriksen is every bit the Tom Waits character I’ve always suspected he is.

I canceled HBO yesterday because of the genocide apologia film (last straw really) but I’m using the days I already paid for to watch a bunch of B horror from the 1950s. And good god are these things racist Pretty sure Ive heard the phrase “these natives are like children” in 3 different movies now

I don’t know what’s worse about Leprechaun in the Hood; the transphobia, the homophobia, the captioner going with the hard R every time, the -heavily- implied SA, the early 90s idea of hip hop, maybe the clumsiest script outside of a Critters entry, or Warwick Davis’ rhythm. Christ what a disaster.

“A guy called Squeamy just fell to his death.” “You mean Squeamy Ellis?” Who could say? Squeamy is famously the most common name in LA for an adult man to have in 1956.

Watching The Indestructible Man now and maybe i’m putting too much significance on names but I feel like I wouldn’t wanna do crimes with a fella whose nickname is “Squeamy”. Like of course he turned state’s evidence; the fuck did you think he would do?!

I never do any of that 31 days of Halloween shit because any time I commit to calling my shot I have some existential crisis that torpedos the whole affair. But today I watched Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde (1931), Isle of the Dead, Demon Knight, and House on Eden so I guess I’m doing some kind of something.

Does anyone else find it strangely ironic that Yahoo Serious was not actually in the least bit serious? Why is no one talking about this?

NEW: How Bill Clinton & corporate Dems joined with Republicans to destroy local & independent media & create Big Media’s consolidated censorship machine that controls America’s discourse. A case for Dems repealing Clinton’s law if they ever regain power. www.levernews.com/the-origins-...

all fascists are cowards, if you tell them no they run scared, if you try to appease them they sense weakness and attack harder

I’m taking a sort of perverse joy in watching celebrities like Jamie Lee Curtis and Rainn Wilson further sour people on the very concept of celebrity utterly unprovoked like this. idk I guess there’s just something inside me that likes watching particularly gaudy towers fall.

Everyone talking about how leftists were gleeful about Charlie Kirk dying, but it's weird how no one is talking about how the right was…also gleeful. When they post about how they finally get to take off the mask and destroy leftism – that is glee. That is them being very happy this happened.

Did anyone ever make one of those block lists of people who have “writer for the Atlantic” in their bio? I’d like to scrape some tedium from my online experience.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

"The residents of Dunwich took the invisible cow-sucking monster in stride until the paternity test came in.

HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DONT EAT YOUR SHAQ HEADS?!

Between Captain Boomerang and the serial killer who uses sharks as a weapon (no really) Jai Courtney seems like he might be revving up to play a sentient glop of vegimite that surfs.

in a million years when an alien science team finds an SSD full of movies, they’ll see how often the subtitler put [speaks (language)] over top of the embedded subtitles so that you can’t actually see what’s being said without turning off the subtitles and they’ll know we were always doomed.

Corporations cannot be trusted. This is why we don't want them at Pride.

What does one do when their elderly family member has been suckered into reading an AI generated omegaverse novel? There’s no way this can shake out that won’t be tremendously unpleasant for at least most of us.

Me to some random app every 2-3 days: Look here, you little shit, I’m never enabling push notifications, not for you, not for anybody!

What really rules about capitalism is that some people have enough money that they can get a data center built so quickly that by the time you find out it’s being “proposed” your property value has already been demolished, leaving you without any option to escape the fucking thing.

If you ever find yourself in a villain’s lair, don’t forget to keep an eye out for a prominent lever that blows the whole place to smithereens. They’re rarely labeled but every evil lair has one, from gothic laboratories to the White House, even most Bennigan’s.

me: *trying ti break out of a locked room* Democrats: You know the door’s the only part that even opens, but there you are trying to break it down. Can’t help but notice you never try the brick walls. Almost like you’re on their side.

While I appreciate that the youth’s primary exposure to the Deftones these days is via bloopers, I am also concerned it is interfering with any potential relationship they could have had to Yakety Sax.

I get Chaosium is a relatively small company w/a lot going on but every time I find out about another Call of Cthulhu book not available in English I get very annoyed. Even Farce Macabre/La Broma Macabra (sounds cool af btw), which I could prob translate slowly, is prohibitively expensive to ship🫤

🎶Frankenstein gonna get you Frankenstein gonna get you Frankenstein gonna get yooouu…🎶🎺💃🏻 🎶To-night!🎶🎺💃🏽

too many of y’all lied to me about the last Final Destination movie. it was just fine. it’s fine to just be fine, but are we so starved for good that fine has become great? because that’s not how that’s supposed to work.

Socially maladjusted dorks with narcissistic tendencies used to be able to pretend they’re cool by joining a band. Now their only option is to shout at strangers on the internet rather than from an open garage. Yes, Virginia, the male loneliness epidemic rests squarely at the feet of Guitar Hero.

People keep saying there’s a media literacy crisis but I personally don’t see it.

slept in so just found out about Tom Lehrer. i don’t know how many people know that he was more radical in the 1960s than most prominent democrats are today. “They’ve got to be protected, all their rights respected, til somebody we like can be elected…” RIP to a real motherfucker

Generally speaking I tend to be very confident in my convictions but any time someone I follow decides to “take a break” from whatever platform we share I am immediately convinced it’s something I did personally.

i keep hearing people say that Sinners is just From Dusk til Dawn and like… yeah, I see that. But they did it better and without forcing me to watch Quinten Tarantino suck toes.

in the end all the bad pop science didn’t really add much to goat guy people stealer. there’s no shame in making a creature feature; just do that. don’t try to trick me into thinking i’m getting cosmic horror. this was basically Krampus with someone’s poor recollection of a TED talk thrown in.

Trying to watch The Cellar (2022) but my basic knowledge of the world around me is getting in the way. First these mfs are *confounded* by what is obviously greek letters in an algebraic formula. Then they say Hebrew letters “don’t mean anything individually” but they do actually…

7 minutes into Argento’s Phenomena and I’m thoroughly convinced that younger millennials invented the slang context of “extra” so that I would one day be able to describe this movie.

Was Neil Marshall’s The Lair supposed to be revenge for Dick Van Dyke’s cockney accent in Mary Poppins or has he just never met or heard an American in his life?

All of my many projects are in a perfect procrastination holding pattern. Anything can happen as I attempt to do everything I can to avoid doing any of the other things.

The hardest part about sharing your work isn't the technical stuff it's trusting that your community wants to see you succeed. They do. The TTRPG space is built on people supporting each other's creative journeys. Join that tradition.
