Tumbrils. We're gonna need bunches of tumbrils. Bunches.

THE ROAD (2009) you sit through so much horror and then Duvall gives that one gesture when he talks about his son and really, that could have been the whole movie. And, I’m gonna be using his line “It’s foolish to ask for luxuries in times likes these” a lot, going forward (the “luxury” was death).

The Apostle (which I see now he both wrote and directed) is an absolutely dead-on depiction of both a kind of character and sensibility I've steered way clear of since childhood, and he's brilliant.

Could be, it’s hard to tell whether the formula in anything is changing, or my taste buds are changing

Pandora in infrared #KaosBeautyKlinik

there is a subtle yet repugnant hint of ecofascism that unites takes from supposed leftists and liberals like “getting rid of people’s dependency on USAID is worth the human cost” and “air conditioning is a needless luxury, and some people will just have to die of heat to stop climate change.”

OMG finally an erudite examination of my own personal communion wafer. A box of C in a B has accompanied me on every road trip and camping trip for the past three decades.

I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration. even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

RIP, one of the greats

I've seen HRC's video entirely too many times. Fuck right off with that soft fashism. Immigrants are good. Borders are arbitrary. No person is ever illegal. #noborders #nopersonisillegal

I suspect she’s going to remember this as her finest hour, because she’s pathetic in that way. I also suspect that a Pam Bondi routine will be an entertaining part of any drag show long after she’s gone.

This is what cyberpunk looks like.

A very nice review of THE FLESH KING gnofhorror.com/the-flesh-ki...

SO MUCH this whole thread and this in particular:

“One dashingly calls them ‘glittering generalities’; another bluntly calls them ‘self evident lies‘; and still others insidiously argue they only apply to ’superior races.’”

Everything I’ve learned in the past 10 or 20 years about Republicans kind of makes me want to throw away my fancy ethics and dive in head first to finding ways to con them out of millions of dollars, because it seems like it’s ridiculously easy to do.

I followed the “dangerous idea” link and read what was there and it made me want to barf

First film to which I ever took a date.

Great article. And, once again, fuck Elon Musk.

What Welles says about Barrymore’s Hamlet I will could very much say about most if not all of Welles’ characters

Happy birthday!

Jesus

I’d go see that movie.

"Rejects" isn't strong enough. Judge Leon rips Secretary Hegseth a new asshole, even though the one he already has is enormous.

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

It's not fair! Everybody else gets a froggy, and all I got was a dead sparrow this morning wahhhhhhh

Hope springs eternal Joe!

It’s the season! This guy was hanging out by my front door last night!

RIP Bud Cort. Harold and Maude in the pantheon of perfect movie intros

@porcupunk.bsky.social saw the lead singer in an absurdist play in Moscow in March 92, great experience

Every time you think it can't ALL be about Epstein another "It's all about Epstein" shoe drops. And the shoe was probably made in Russia.

Forgone conclusion that king of the sauna Jordan is going to let Bondi blather on

God bless Nicholas Cage for always taking the biggest of swings, can't wait

If you're a book reviewer or bookseller, LOVECRAFT'S BROOD (edited by the legendary Ellen Datlow) is now available on Netgalley! www.netgalley.com/catalog/publ... Pretty happy that my cosmically weird story "Halogen Sky" is part of the brood.

Idk I am generally anti incarceration but throw his ass in jail

I’m hearing the word “disgusting“ a lot from GOP electeds who saw the unredacted files & thinking about how the wise people who wrote INSIDE OUT for Pixar made a good decision to include Disgust as a primal emotion. Maybe this is the way that we’re finally going to get through to these people.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Tolkien was compelling for me personally as a kid because I was getting out in the woods a lot & what I was seeing in nature was weirdly reflected in the stuff he wrote. He cared about describing nature in a way that a lot of others didn’t, I think.

I wrote this back in 2020. The historical events I detail in the post get right to the heart of why what Secretary Drunken Violent Zipper Malfunction's statements demonstrate his ignorance & unfitness for office.

They built a mosque and a Muslim school near where I lived in Houston. The lady at the liquor store was not required to wear a hijab and I could still buy pork ribs from the barbecue place down the block. Guys like Brandon Gill are the reason Texas is a punchline for so much of the country.

Highly recommended!

This is the way

In her book "Woman's Creation," Elizabeth Fisher argued that the first human invention was not a weapon but a bag for gathering food. Here's @elletheresewriter on the life and work of the writer who inspired @ursulakleguin's great "Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction." newohioreview.org/2025/10/23/e...

in their walkout speech, Nathalie told their classmates, "We’re being dehumanized and there’s nothing we can really do about it because we’re high schoolers... Not only are our parents being hunted, taken and kidnapped, but it’s also our little siblings being used as bait and then being taken."
