You really gotta save your challenges for the egregious shit the Thunder do as the game goes on. Can’t challenge small stuff early in case you lose and are stuck watching the bullshit calls

I’m excited for the Oscars to keep the horror lovefest going next year for the great Dr. Kelson

I always like the Oscars, even when they suck (and they were very good this year). It’s nice to watch a thing that celebrates art and entertainment, even more so in a world that seems to want to kill the parts of you that think and enjoy things

Sinners cinematography win is cool. Really wish half the movie wasn’t underexposed, tho

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Wish I could help with this but I don’t pick the headlines, that’s an editor’s job. I also don’t write the story because I’m not that Alex Thompson

You’ll believe a man can fly

I swear every play was pretty. On the defensive end too

Everyone needs to stop watching baseball and start watching basketball, a sport with no current controversies or recent AI use

Derrick White is having fun playing basketball again. League fucked

Please look at what Eddie House is wearing tonight #Celtics

Dumpuary has officially become Raduary thanks to The Bone Temple. Hard to find a year when the movies kicked off this hard. 28 Years Later remains one of my top 5 movies of last year. This one is better.

I think another part of why the “wine moms” were denigrated was because of their earnestness in their beliefs and opposition. That got called cringe, but earnestness is really the only valuable response to fascism, an innately insincere form of politics

Look, I can talk about the mixed feelings I have about the PhD I completed over a year ago. I get to bring that up. It’s mine. You do not get to denigrate the work I did because we don’t share political commitments. That’s an asshole move and if you really have a PhD I’d hope you’d understand that

I hope the people who dogpiled on me because someone else confused me for a person with the same name as me tell all their friends about the time they dunked on that guy from Axios with the cat profile picture and no links to Axios articles in his history

There’s a rot in the MAGA base when they cannot see their leadership’s flaws, including how they work for the rich instead of the majority, and understand any criticism of the leadership as an attack from outside rather than a critique from within. This is a post about the democratic base

Once again fighting with the dumbest people in my mentions for the same old reason

There’s basketball, and then there’s podracing, and this is both.

I have the same name and got here sooner than a guy who wrote a book about a bad president

It is fun to go to the movies

Fun times at the movies!

How can you not be romantic about baseball? 📸

If you care more about Newsom doing snarky tweets than about him collaborating with people who want to kill every single trans person in this country, you don't care about politics, you care about aesthetics

Incredible run cut short by highly entertaining disaster

RIP Kemba. You were a good dog. In each of these pictures she is looking for food, her favorite pastime

One of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. You should watch it

You know Amazon’s War of the Worlds Presented By Amazon, An Amazon Film is fucked up because it has Chuck Schumer being on the right side of the conflict over the surveillance state

The Gilded Age theme really is an all time banger

Nothing to brag about imo. Maybe you should spend your time trying to make people’s lives actually better rather than bending to fit within Republican framing of the issue

Zohran will troubleshoot your grandma’s phone. Will Eric Adams?

The Tell Tale Heart (1928). #SilentFilm

Dammit Alex. Be better at you job so I don’t get yelled at

Guy in my theater before Ballerina: She’s like the female John Wick

Jake Tapper looking like an absolute idiot tonight, completely missed that Joe Biden was actually dead and replaced by clones and body doubles in 2020. His book proven entirely wrong.

Maybe I can get a blue check mark from Bluesky so I can certifiably be “not that Alex Thompson”

I should use this account more frequently, I guess. Who knew having a very generic Millennial name and being a relatively early Bluesky user would lead to so many mad people in my mentions? Gotta find a way to make money from this strange situation

They think I’m someone else

Fuck you @alexthompson.bsky.social

What a night from Paige Bueckers. Oklahoma is matched up, no hesitation to get to the pullup. Oklahoma goes zone, lets it fly from deep. Oklahoma goes back to matching up, right back to the pullup.

The Cell (2000)

It’s here, the definitive list of the best movies of 2024

Pretty solid week

We Need To Talk About Kevin (dir. Lynne Ramsay, 2011)

I made two top ten lists of my favorite 📸 I took this year, one for film and one for digital. Enjoy! alexsthompson.com/photo-blog/t...
