45 years of what’s arguably the greatest SW movie, and also one of the most striking one sheets ever created.

Armistead Maupin, one of the greatest writers of queer fiction, turns 81 today. His words have had profound, life-changing effects on me and countless others. If you've never read "Tales of the City" or seen the miniseries based on it, it's never too late to take your first visit to Barbary Lane.

America loves moms but hates women.

People using the term conclave today like it’s been part of their speech forever.

[to a group of reporters] “It's the way life goes. NASA discovered all those habitable planets the other day. Did you guys see that? ... Twelve hundred habitable planets. And then last night somebody lost a basketball game. Come on. Get over yourself." - Gregg Popovich

Being simultaneously fearful of deportation ~and~ not being allowed to leave the country is peak America right now.

“Your majesty, if I am elected, I promise to put an end to corruption.” - Palpatine, “The Phantom Menace”

Someone just coined “toxic Muskulinity” and I was there to see it happen.

"Hi stranger. It's been a while. I've missed you." vimeo.com/190063150

"Opens Friday. Check newspapers for local listings." If this phrasing rings a bell, it's time to get a colonoscopy.

Ruth Gordon and Hal Ashby on the set of “Harold and Maude.”

I had this #SesameStreet playset as a child. Wish I still had it. Look how beautiful that is!

If someone drives a #Tesla, don’t fuck them.

“The Supreme Court notoriously decided in 2010 that in certain circumstances, corporations should be considered people. If that’s true, Steak ‘n Shake wears a brown shirt and swastika armband.” www.rogerebert.com/mzs/red-meat...

Phew! The daylight has been saved. It was close this time. Nearly lost it.

I'll commemorate #InternationalWomensDay when women in America have autonomy over their own bodies again, otherwise - for men, who DO have such autonomy - it's just a hollow, performative gesture.

Why is it so difficult for roughly a third of Americans to believe that billionaires do not have their best interests at heart?

So punctual.✨

It is no coincidence that the world's richest man is also the world's worst man.

The only people more delusional than folks living in blue states who think they are safe from all of this are folks living in red states who think the same.

@criterion.bsky.social is celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth www.criterionchannel.com/celebrate-bl...

We are truly living in unPresidented times.

I guess what Republicans mean by wanting a small government is a handful of people who can do, say and take whatever they want and fuck everyone else.

The world’s richest man believes you have too much money.

People who serve in our military are among the most honored and cherished in our nation. This is precisely why the current administration cannot allow trans folks to be among their rank. It would make persecuting them all the more difficult.

If you could push a button that would definitively tell you whether or not God exists, would you do it? (If you're religious, the button would also tell you whether or not your version of faith is accurate.)

Wild how many folks have no questions about the world’s richest man buying a seat in our government.

On Monday, January 20th, we are celebrating David Lynch on what would've been his 79th birthday with a marathon of the complete Laura Palmer mystery of TWIN PEAKS. Watch it starting at 9am ET on Pluto TV's More TV Drama: pluto.tv/us/live-tv/6...

So here's what's cool about my job: Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

www.reddit.com/r/texas/comm... @jamestalarico.bsky.social isn't saying anything here that hasn't been well known for some time now. But it's good that he keeps saying it because not enough people are listening. LISTEN UP, Texas, please.

At least Anita Bryant is dead.

I giggle when folks say or type "Bram Stroker" because clearly I'm still a child. #bramstoker #dracula #nosferatu

It was a very pop culture xmas for me. And it is reminding me of the importance of all of the messages and meaning we carry with us from the films, television, music and the arts, both “high” and “low” culture. Especially in days and years like these when other communication is so full of animosity.

I'm perpetually amazed that some entertainment brass haven't made #BoxingDay in America a thing where everyone gathers around their screens the day after Christmas to watch a couple folks beat the tar out of one another.
