Has anyone redrawn any of those old school accidentally homoerotic Soviet/Chinese propaganda posters to look like Ilya and Shane yet?

No, no. It's fine that residuals are dying. I've got a new constant stream of small checks: class action settlements from companies that failed to keep my personal data safe.

Birnam Wood has come to Dunsinane

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

A reminder that if we are no longer protected by the Constitution's safeguards, we are no longer bound by its prohibitions, and there's nothing stopping us electing this man president to lead Reconstruction II.

it's quite funny that the international pedophile ring got QAnon to put them all in power.

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.

I may have a stroke. Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.” A PROTESTant. I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

Melissa Joan Hart is a legit card carrying conservative republican we are through the looking glass.

To help cope with the macro-problems, I am focusing inordinately on a micro-problem: I really hate that Microsoft changed pulling up spell check options to a left click instead of a right. It causes my BP to spike every time I have to do it.

The absolute accuracy of this.

Minnesota nice is a social contract broken at your own peril

Me, reading and studying history: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me, realizing I am living through a historical event: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Democrats win in 2028 if they pledge to pass a law that prohibits companies from sending a “Your order has shipped!” email when all they’ve done is created a shipping label

Just spitballing here, but I think we could sell ppl on universal healthcare not by pointing out how much money they'll save but by how much time they'll save not getting stuck in line at the pharmacy behind people dealing with shitty insurance companies. Three people ahead of me, all had problems.

Barbara Stanwyck double feature at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social Both of these were so much fun. More brassy dames serving looks in 2026 please! Night Nurse review: letterboxd.com/foofyattorne... Baby Face review: letterboxd.com/foofyattorne...

Once again gazing at Norman Rockwell's Freedom of Speech paintings and imaging the romcom about the two gruff yet tender handymen who are the last ones in town to realize they're each other's soulmates

You know what's a fun activity? Picking random movies off your letterboxd watch list that aren't on streaming and putting them on hold at the library. Now when they get here in a week, it will be a little surprise.

Got Barry Lyndon on Blu-ray from the library. It gets lost behind The Shining, 2001, Clockwork Orange, and Eyes Wide Shut, Strangelove, etc. in talking about Kubrick's filmography, but SO MANY people on letterboxd say this is either one of his best or one of their personal faves, so here I go...

The Avatar movies are not for me. And it used to bother me that a movie I found pretty eh had such legs, but maturity has taught me both 1) let people like what they like and 2) making one of these every three to five years is actually the best use of Cameron's wealth.

Me when I won’t shut up

The effortless shift in discourse from people insisting that anything that isn't a white statue of a dead roman dude isn't art like 3 years ago to demanding that they be treated as visionary artists for typing" x-men mystique big boobs she's my girlfriend" into a prompt window

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

You will never see a better, more vindictive shit-eating grin than the final second of this video

For fun, I asked it to list all the characters from A Little Night Music and their songs. It said that Carl-Magnus sings "The Miller's Son." That is so, so wrong, but dear lord, now I want to see that so, so badly.

big bugs bunny getting elmer fudd to marry him vibes in the white house currently i see

A poem: I do not want to go to the gym today. I want to have already gone to the gym today. Stupid, continuous, unidirectional nature of time.

He'll forget the minute Mamdani leaves the room. All of his other personality traits are that of a toddler, so I assume he has the same object permanence. But for right now this is truly hilarious. This is like the one part of this timeline I would be sad to only read about and not to witness.

Imagine being one of those CEOs or school presidents who bowed down to this weird old man, then realizing he doesn’t like you as much as he likes this guy who didn’t bow at all

I think there's a decent chance that the Pope visits Chicago during this presidency and while there asks to see Broadview and I wonder how that plays out.

Just how morally, ethically, intellectually bankrupt do you have to be to argue that 15-year-olds can sell sex but can’t affirm gender

One day people will remember that separation of church and state protects the church probably more than the state. These bozos never realize that if church and state are the same entity then whoever becomes head of state is head of your church and if you don't like it, surprise you're a heretic.

It’s kinda dumb that there’s a character named Sauron and one named Saruman. That’s like having your two main villains named Becca and Rebecca.

someone invited people magazine to the kitchen and they brought their own knives

It’s basically Deep Space Nine.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism. The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

I'm still a little anxious after watching this and I will be thinking about it for a while. letterboxd.com/foofyattorne...

All these people are saying “wait to you think he’s REALLY a Nazi,” and my response is “no I think it’s more likely he’s an irony-poisoned edgelord douchebro, another group that’s absolutely ruining the fucking country.”

At the San Francisco No Kings protest. My favorite sign so far Not pictured: the three fully naked men I saw marching. Never change, San Francisco. Never change.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

Duh

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Wow, so shocked that so many "comedians" who made their name shitting on vulnerable people and populations and giggling out slurs on podcasts would take House of Saud money that forbids them from joking about the House of Saud all while braying about the sacredness of Free Speech shocked shocked

I'm telling myself this was just someone pitching alt jokes for a community meeting scene on Parks and Rec. Because if I contemplate for a moment that a real person said this in earnest, I'll simply go insane.
