Elon Musk and the Trump administration gleefully shutting down USAID “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.” People throw around terms like genocide quite freely online but it’s hard to find other words to describe this level of man-made death.

It's a crime they made a Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game but did not include Lefty as a playable character nor Texas Battleland as a level.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

I want a new version of Sweeney Todd starring Clancy Brown and Kristen Schaal.

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

Trump is not the only freak the mainstream media whitewashes.

Me, digging through my bag that is full of pens and pencils, until I find the one pen I want to use for this particular piece of writing.

Two nights in a row, I have dreamed I was in a Tim Curry movie: Rocky Horror Picture Show and Muppet Treasure Island. In other words, I've been sleeping much better lately.

The thing I remember most about Cats is what a friend said: "This movie has made Idris Elba unsexy."

years ago an emmy-winning comedy writer posted this in a DM group and I’ve thought about it literally every day since (anonymized and shared with permission)

Clearly the players who play the sports we love to watch hate gambling; think it's ruining the game. The only people who want it are networks and the league. I think it's important to remember that. Whenever you fire up the gambling app, you're fucking with the people you love to watch every week

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Me, sitting down to sketch: I should put on some chill, mellow background music. Me, puts on Purple Rain: Yes!

I've owned two movie on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray. Those movies are "Escape from New York" and "Nothing but Trouble." Judge me how you will.

I love how Guillermo del Toro talks about movies and filmmakers. I've never heard him badmouth a movie or director, but I have heard him gush, at length and articulately, about those he loves. I think that's way more helpful, and it has directed me to stuff I would have missed otherwise.

Reading the comments of people defending Musk's $1 trillion pay package, I'm reminded of my favorite quote from the Tremors series: "Who are you, and why are you so dumb?"

I'm opening up a coffee shop to compete with Starbucks. Call it Ishmael's.

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix. Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Disney owns 20th Century Fox. 20th Century Fox owns the Alien franchise. Ergo, the Alien Queen is a Disney Queen.

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

I play video games to escape reality. That's why I play games where I can do all the things I can't do on real life. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to Stardew Valley.

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

Received my official open enrollment letter from my insurance (which I got through healthcaredotgov). The premium has more tripled. Nearly quadrupled.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

Tech help: my phone's audio works when playing music (whether through its speakers or Bluetooth) or if I'm watching a video, but I can't hear callers or even my voicemail, and I'm not sure if they hear me. Settings seem fine. Any ideas?

After a night on the town as Vincent Price, with my hair slicked back, I woke up to find my hair like this.

I think one of the greatest and consequential failures of 21st century education systems globally has been the collective refusal to understand that reading books, watching films and learning to appreciate art are necessary for ALL fields, but especially STEM, and especially tech.

If you've never received SNAP benefits, you probably don't realize how low they are. We're a stingy nation that hates the poor. 👇🏽

I want to delete my LinkedIn, but I've been reliably informed it's a necessary to keep (because potential employers go there first). If you are stuck using it, too, turn off the AI feature.

We don't cast off one segment of society to save ourselves. It's a betrayal of everything we're trying to defend. It's a cowardly kind of self-preservation. If your plan for escaping this bank robbery involves deliberately killing a few of our fellow hostages, maybe sit this chat out for a while?

Galaxy Quest is a great movie, but you'll never convince me Sigourney Weaver would end up with Tim Allen when Alan Rickman was right there for the taking.

I keep hearing comparisons between the Trump presidency and Weekend at Bernie's. That's completely out of line. Bernie looks way more lifelike and is a much better dancer.

I'm hosting horror movie trivia at the library tonight. I'm not expecting a huge turnout, but those who attend should get a kick out of my costume.

I love subtlety as long as you hit me over the head with it.

If you address me as "bro," chances are I don't care for you as a person.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

i should be able to click a button at the beginning of a sports season that says “i’m normal” and i don’t get served any ads for crypto or gambling

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high. SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”. Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers. People need & deserve assistance Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich Be mad about that

Yes!

Happy how well she turned out.

I live in Ohio. Bluesky has implemented age verification and requested the last four digits of my Social Security number, my ID, or a credit card to prove I'm an adult. I'm wary about doing so, but so far, the only thing I can't access is chat. If you've messaged me here, sorry I haven't seen it.

I just think something really important that we've lost, culturally and spiritually, is understanding that THE WICKER MAN (1973) is first and foremost a musical.

For some reason, I draw characters from The Critic better than those from other cartoons.

I just realized: I've been out of journalism for ten years now. I don't miss what the profession's become, but still...

When a loved one probably is in the early stages of dementia and their personality is changing, who do you talk to?

When I was growing up, the other boys wanted to be Arnold Schwarzenegger. I wanted to be Snake Plissken.

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

I feel bad for zohran. Like he'a clearly a bright, energetic, talented, and highly motivated person who has to do these humiliation rituals where his ideas are being put on the same level as two gross weirdass tired old white guys w nothing to offer. It's insulting and embarrassing.
