As someone who's been looking into these questions for a long time it's really magnificent to see someone as talented as @thepourover.coffee writing about them in such clear and unambiguous ways. Give this a read and hire Fionn to write something for you!

@thepourover.coffee hella good newsletter today.

I often joke about the trapezoid in which I live my life (bordered by Hennepin on the west, Hiawatha on the east, 94 on the north and 46th st to the south) and anywhere else is occupied and hostile territory but seeing this election map makes me feel like I've made the right call

every tesla on the road must be thought of as an existential danger to everyone around them. get rid of every tesla.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Do you think Goku dresses like that because he loves the Mets?

did anyone back in 2007 save 1fatslug's video where he destroyed a copy of the Smashing Pumpkins record "Zeitgeist" that he had pirated and burned onto a CDR? @arr.bsky.social maybe? or maybe @mobute.bsky.social ?

mostly preaching to the choir here, but just in case someone in your life is considering voting for Frey (even in 3rd place) because it's "the pragmatic thing to do". It really really isn't even that. Frey is not just a bad choice ideologically, he's a bad choice on a practical level 🧵

I listened to that Ezra Klein / Ta-Nehisi Coates conversation and the thing that I most took from it is Ezra saying over and over "we [liberals] need to take power back or the world will be a worse place" coupled with "I don't know how we do that anymore in today's political landscape"

imagine seeing this poster in 1986 and thinking you were about to watch a campy comedy period piece or something

#1: no they won't #2: a second white flight would absolutely trigger a drop in housing prices and immediately make it look like Mamdani succeeded in dropping housing prices #3: no they won't

Inside Llewyn Davis is bluesky's favorite Coen Brothers movie because there's one part where Llewyn says "I'm a communist" and the other character asks in an incredibly coded way "are you the same kind of communist as me?" while also not understanding that Llewyn was making a joke

for everyone upset about the time change and how dark it is now: remember time doesn't exist, yet it controls us anyway.

David Byrne go on a @wedge.live emergency bike ride

Bee Movie was released on this day in 2007. Today I wrote about how its legacy has retroactively shaped Jerry Seinfeld's other, better work. hudsucker.substack.com/p/bee-movie

yeah I'm watching MLB the Major motion picture Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) By Joel & Ethan Coen

dudes rock

I correctly called out a tween dressed as Hornet from Hollow Knight last night and they felt similarly seen.

i am 39 years OLD. i post ONLINE. i have a stable job in a big CITY. i have a mild form of mental ILLNESS that can be treated with LITTLE to NO medication. i am going to kill myself because of postseason BASEBALL.

watching Scream (1996) and I'm still mad that @leemankessler.com correctly guessed who the killer was because "well the killer is hacking up people and he was in Hackers"

Wanna know what the candles budget for The Craft (1996) was.

It's too long for Bluesky & I refuse to compromise. So here's a screenshot with the words in the alt-text.

This one, got diamonds in his pockets. That's some bread now. The other wants to go to Johnny Rockets. He is Jughead now

He’s gonna feed five pictures of urns into grok and tweak its internals until it spits out “the Roman Empire fell because of woke”

dude will not stop until the supreme court knows that he's mad

Every Tuesday I get a sandwich and a beverage and I go downtown and sit on a bench and look at the city and then go across the street to the MSP Film society for a $5 movie. It’s a truly stellar way to spend an evening.

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

CHOTINER: I'm given to understand you have things to say about Starbucks ME: Absolutely. They mistreat everyone on the supply chain. They're everything wrong with the industry. CHOTINER: I've got this photo that seems to be you holding a pink drink in your hand ME: now wait just a minute…

Feels very telling that all the advertising I’ve seen so far for the new Springsteen biopic doesn’t feature Jeremy Allen White talking at all.

man that Dorvis is so presumptuous

and a third name after sailing ships seen in San Diego Bay

Los Angeles has sports teams named after trolley traffic in New York and city lakes in Minneapolis

Before The Devil Knows You're Dead was released on this day in 2007. I wrote about the characters' myriad bad decisions.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

the amount I get yelled at in the movie groupchat for saying Heat is a 4/5 movie. I can't even imagine posting "Heat is meh" on main.

Don’t know what to do with your leftover butter? Try smearing a thin layer on reheated bread

The makeup and prosthetics in the new Springsteen movie are incredible, especially on the horrifying Chickenman. The beak! The fleshy feathers! You can’t even tell it’s Richard Kind.

this movie opened with a slow motion shot of a bunch of candles and doves in a church and you'll never believe where they went back to for the final shootout

every time I watch a John Woo movie I'm so curious what these gangsters' goon budget is. There's always like 20 guys waiting to take out Chow Yun Fat per scene. The Hong Kong Triads apparently have a workforce that can rival Amazon in 2025

Seeing a bald eagle flying away from the Federal Building while Kristi Noem talks inside. Sure. Why not.

JK Simmons you have an oscar. you don't need to do insurance commercials.
