I grew up watching The Twilight Zone every NYE. There are a lot of episodes where the whole moral is “if we aren’t careful, Naziism will return.” Including the marvelously unsubtle He’s Alive, with young Dennis Hopper. youtu.be/B3ID7k0_xn4?...

SET PIECE AGAIN OLEEE OLEEEEE

And a double for Viktor!!!

OTHER GABI!!!!!

Ok, I’m watching on Paramount, and they keep talking about Arsenal being great at “restarts. Is this instead of “set pieces?” Is this an American commentator thing? (I’m American, why have I not noticed this before?)

GABRIEL!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I dislike this ref

I choose not to believe in the offside rule

fuck you flag

What the fuck Raya

Ok, are we in a golden age of Gothic horror? Maybe, because Mārama is INCREDIBLE.

You can now watch Oscar Award winning documentary No Other Land in the United States of America. Link below.

Most things about 2025 are awful, but the fact that we got Sinners and Frankenstein this year??!? Some serious abundance.

OH my GOD. OH MY GOD. FRANKENSTEIN HOLY SHIT.

Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ is being re-released in select IMAX theaters for Halloween. The Michael B. Jordan-led film will be in theaters between Oct. 30 - Nov. 5. (via Variety)

I got in!!!!!!!!!! FRANKENSTEIN TIME

Am I going to spend money to try and get in the standby line for Frankenstein on the off chance I can get in? In the middle of a work day? (Very probably yes.)

Take it from us -- an organization that closely studies all the horrific ways people can die from common household items -- have the jelly donut.

A legit heist!! We deserved this little bit of joy from the universe.

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Looool

Man, the people in power are really working overtime to prove the “everyone is twelve” guy right.

I don’t know why TikTok decided to put the adorable football player singing Amy Winehouse all over my fyp. But I’m not mad www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Ap5CGH/

I think it's kind of nasty and reductive to refer to mature women who marched today as "wine moms and grandmas," even when it's said in admiration or support

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

(leaving the movies) I know I have one more thing planned today, I’ll just run home first (into comfy clothes, no bra, compression socks) Just taking a people break (grabbing my Switch, settling on the couch, knowing I will not leave home again today for love or money) It’s just a quick stop

New rule: if Arsenal isn’t winning at halftime, I’m the problem and I have to leave and stop watching

I actually *really* loved Kiss of the Spider Woman. (If you’re hesitant because JLo, know that her scenes are purposefully camp and she nailed it) And Tonatiuh was incredible

there’s a bryan fuller movie coming out??? With mads mikkelsen????

The #NoKings rally in Grant Park is impossibly huge. Tens of thousands of people here. Hundreds of folks are still streaming in.

Fuck offsidew

I got stuck in traffic, got here at 10, and it was already full up for the day. Apparently I am not nearly unbearably dorky enough.

This was very good, but probably felt less bleak for viewers outside the US. All I could think was “imagine these girls but with zero social services and also no choices.”

The Criterion Closet van is here for the film festival. Am I unbearably dorky if I get there right when the line starts lining up tomorrow morning (an hour and a half before it opens)?

nothing chatgpt has done is as impressive as akinator, the mind-reading internet genie from 2007

I’m furious at myself for never looking at the Chicago Film Festival pamphlet I got in the mail weeks ago. Frankenstein and new Benoit Blanc and Hamnet are all (obviously) sold out

As a friend who was planning to go to the 2026 WC told me, "this settles it". He won't.

1- “crackdown” implies there’s some wrongdoing on the part of the community that has to be fought, not just immigrants living their lives. 2- saying that residents are increasingly pushing back implies that therefore the increase in force by the govt is necessary or proportionate. It is not.

People organizing in #Chicago to protect children from violent ICE attacks. "Armed with whistles and know-your-rights pamphlets, community volunteers call themselves “guardian angels.” Together, they secure...elementary, middle and high schools across the city." www.yahoo.com/news/article...

One pie to rule them all and in the darkness bind them vibes were unintentional

Spent all my work breaks today arranging and rearranging my bookshelves. Finally made it work by splitting them into more genres (horror/mystery have their own combined section now)

Time to find an Etsy witch to break whatever injury curse Arsenal has on them

I’m in a book arranging quandary: I usually organize by genre, then author. Nonfiction and classics are shelved, but I still need to organize fantasy/sci fi and other fiction. Each genre has exactly 70 books. Two bookcases left. One has 4 empty shelves, the other 2 1/2.

Needed to do today: cleaning, laundry, Halloween decorating Did today: went shopping, started baking a whole-ass from scratch pumpkin pie

I love when recipes account for anxiety. The explainer for blanching hazelnuts reassured me twice that it’s okay that the water turns black, that’s normal, don’t freak out
