A young prince, a weapon called the Glaive, and a bandit army rescue a princess from a beast from the stars. Sure, it’s generic 1980s fantasy, but it’s better-looking than most from that era, and who doesn’t want to throw a deadly starfish? Episode 202 - Krull sites.libsyn.com/398906/episo...

Kinda dying at “King Arthur”.

don’t forget to listen to earth wind and fire today (and every day)

HIT EM LOW HIT EM HIGH AND WATCH THEM RAMMIES CRY

I have good news: the posts and interactions on that final play of the Eagles game were exactly enough to save the site. Bluesky gets to stay open for one more week.

HOW

Rest in peace, Bernie Parent. One of Philadelphia's most beloved sports heroes.

Hellboy 2019 is really making me appreciate Transformers the Last Night. This movie is incoherent trash. It’s not even fun.

Between this and “trans people are 20% of the population” poll recently, I think people think every minority is 20% of the population, which is just enough to think “oh, there’s enough to be repercussions”. Which says a lot, I guess.

Our first millennial president

Oh yeah, put your suit on, that’s fine.

Let 👏 license plates 👏 use 👏 emojis 👏

@zizpa.bsky.social what are your best abandoned places in the Philly-to-Lehigh area?

"You Oughta Know" biggest discrepancy between the scale of a public annihilation of man and the general irrelevance of its subject.

Go birds

So here I am, 46, already dealing with arthritis, taking care of my elderly mother and disabled sister, and being told to work myself to death—and really, just kill myself—by the government.

Make sure to wish a librarian a happy Gerald Ford Trapped in The Penn Library Elevator Day.

“Oh, that’s a shitty movie”—shut up. It was a fun two hours, and I needed a break.

Wait, why is everyone talking about Led Zeppelin tonight, did someone die?

Imagine a movie that’s a cross between Star Wars, Excalibur, The Princess Bride, Willow, Dune, and Ladyhawke, but with slightly worse special effects than any of them. It shouldn’t work but it’s a lot of fun! Young Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane costar as hoodlums!

The Blues Brothers (1980, dir. Landis)

He’s *my* age??

Guess I’m going back to the ice box.

The @oxembi.bsky.social is hosting a special lecture, Long Distance Travel from Early Medieval Britain by Prof @francescatinti.bsky.social & a workshop on Global Britain with Jörg Drauschke, Maria Duggan, @caitlinrgreen.bsky.social, @jk-viking.bsky.social & others. 14 & 15 October. All welcome.

lutnick et al are bringing the shoemaking jobs back for all of our kids. there isn't any more world in their plan where you have a side hustle flipping houses and everyone is elon musk. the colleges are closing, there's no more yale to PE pipeline for us rubes. surely you must see that guys

C’mon Graveyard of Empires, do your thing.

*stepping out of a time machine in 2007* I come from the future - the most consequential men in society are the hosts of the Man Show, Fear Factor, and the Apprentice

If there’s one thing that I hope comes out the other end of our troubles, I hope it’s the death of the business tyrant in general. Everything should be a coöp.

Oh, thank god we’re part of this.

Jesus Christ, just give him the $2, ok, I don’t want any trouble.

man, i know there are plenty of serious and sober types on here who are skeptical of the great khan, but i think he has some of the best instincts of the entire party right now

lol ok

Bluesky Is the answer to the age old paradox of what would happen if you locked really good comedians in a room with people who have never experienced a joke

Oh no not… what, the vegan coffee shop by Clark Park? A couple of bookstores in Philly?

We should’ve killed every confederate politician, general, and plantation owner in 1865. We should’ve killed every Nazi politician, general, and industrialist in 1945. At least we killed Tojo, but we could’ve gone further—it’s insane Japan still has an emperor.

I’m sure a lot of us watched Conan growing up and that show was surreal and weird and writer driven and on network tv, and now it’s just Jimmy Fallon asking Ariana Grande if she could sing Get Lucky like Christina Aguilera, like what the fuck are we doing here

One thing this really shows is that for all the bitching about safe spaces blah blah blah there’s never been a time when comedy has been so anodyne and cowardly and had less to say, it’s not just that there’s no George Carlin, there’s not even a prime David Letterman

If this is Weimar Britain, wouldn’t that make Farage Hitler?

Sign says “Horse Crossing”, guys, not “Geese Crossing”—you can’t cross here and hold up traffic, that’s not part of the bargain.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

I mean, the asshole who bankrupts casinos and rapes women and children and was on tabloids my entire childhood, the dumb fuck from tv with the “you’re fired” catchphrase, the guy parodied in a fucking Zemeckis movie, who was in “Ghosts Can’t Do It”, *that’s* the guy? That’s the American Hitler?

Nothing but love for MY Doctor.

This replaces Lady Aberlin on the streets of Manhattan protesting the buildup to the war on Iraq as my favorite celebrity at the ramparts moment.

BBC News captures Doctor Who himself Sylvester McCoy at the Trump protest seemingly unaware of who they're interviewing.

I’d buy *that* for a dollar!
