One like = one “oh wait, I was fascinated by this famous woman as a kid because I had a crush on her and I didn’t realize it”

“I have tits. I do sex. I’m carvin’ my own path.” I’m finally catching up with THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES.

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As screenwriter of the Labubu movie I want to clear up some misconceptions. Yes, technically they do eat human flesh, but only necrotic tissue around wounds. Doctors use them to clean up injuries and promote positive health outcomes. Labubus are humanity’s allies, except for evil Labubus of course

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

Bootsy is an alien who was sent to Earth to destroy us with his cuteness, but he’s enjoying himself so much that he’s completely forgotten his mission.

I routinely have to go to the next town to see movies. I had to go two towns over to see SKINAMARINK and it was 100% worth it. Hell, I drove 6-7 hours round trip to see the 4K restoration of SUSPIRIA at the @belcourttheatre.bsky.social. It’s one of my favorite movie memories.

Who up refining their pitch rn

Dr. Trinity Santos, I love you. (I hope this ages well.)

If these monsters were trained, being outnumbered by crowds would be less effective. As it is, they have absolutely no fucking clue what to do and they are getting run out of every situation they force themselves into. Dems calling for training are just pushing more, worse violence.

I hope y’all find some joy today. Take this for the road.

The people demand Emmys for Brandon Scott Jones and Rebecca Wisocky for their work on GHOSTS.

A little work day motivation from Sir Nose

There are endless ways to be involved. I always share concrete examples and resources on here. So you can check my TL for those.

The way my eyebrows shot up when I saw Shawn Hatosy! I am so very seated for this one.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Our cohost @brianwaves42.bsky.social hist launched his new show HOLY TERROR, an intersection of horror and faith/religion and you can catch the prelude episode now! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

For your consideration

Wistfully recalling the nap I took many years ago during which I slept so hard that I woke up 100% convinced that I was a contestant on Drag Race.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

This is the one. Sound up.

Whoever is handling the music on the Golden Globes is absolutely killing it.

For this inaugural edition of Silent Sundays, I am looking at the history of lost silent films and highlighting a handful of my favorite posters for films we’re probably never going to get watch ever again.

My sign today.

Hell yeah, brother

I wrote this ten goddamn years ago so none of the YouTube links work anymore, but: goddamn did nobody in rock music command visuals like Bowie. birthmoviesdeath.com/2016/01/11/d...

Insomnoir hours

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

Making a list of the publications I’m pitching this year

there’s another way, another timeline, where art matters, and taking care of each other matters, and joy matters, and it’s worth figuring out how to get there, together

Now streaming on Shudder, cuties!

Holy Jesus I didn't look close enough, saw the green logo quickly and thought this was The Onion and started chuckling man what have we done lol

Even if you're not a medical procedural person—I am definitely not—The Pitt is an achievement in you-are-there worldbuilding to rival any of the sci-fi/fantasy epics you'll find on television. I'm very excited to be covering it for Season 2. (gift link)

My friends, it is Hammer time.

I understand why people are saying this but it's not true. Renee was a neighbor and an observer. She had a whistle. She was none of the things they're calling her, but they're calling activists these things. Don't justify their rhetoric. She was a mom AND an activist and was murdered by the state

My reputation precedes me.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles. It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Does your favorite filmmaker know about the 2026 Access:Horror film festival yet? Submissions are open for this year’s event, and we want to bring the best of the best to our audience later this year. Send this to someone who needs to apply!

It feels so good to be inspired to write again. I was terrified that it was gone forever, but — as trite as it is to say — I don’t think writing ever leaves you. And so much has happened that I want and need to write about.

Extremely depressing to see a group that advocates for the importance of journalism not using ALT text in a single one of its image posts. Excluding disabled people from access to the press is the opposite of freedom.

Thank you to everyone who has responded so kindly. I’m sure most people either scrolled past or thought, “…well, yeah??” but it was really important to me. 💜 Love you all.

Almost time for THE PITT, folks. I’m ready.

I’ve never officially come out on social media, but I’m queer. I’m a queer woman. It’s important for me to say that, and it’s important for me to say that today. Fuck ICE, protect your trans homies, free Palestine. 💜

I’ve been determined as hell to see this day in my rearview mirror (today is my my late mother’s birthday; it’s the first since her death last year) so I put on THE SIMPSONS to see me through. I am delighted to report that the clock will strike midnight during the Steamed Hams bit.
