How did it take until today for me to hear this inspired Bovino nickname?

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

We’re screening the nine new short films featured at the PDX Airport Microcinema this Friday, January 23, from 6PM-10PM in the Miniplex! These shorts will be playing on a loop, so drop in when you’re available. More info: moviemadness.org/event/hollywood-theatre-pdx-airport-screening-3

The Knicks being shitty is not the return to normalcy anyone needs

I suspect 9 of 10 Americans are unaware that the Hmong are here because they aided the US in the Vietnam war, and then had to flee as refugees afterwards. Quite the “thank you” we’re giving them 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

in general, a lot of doomerism on this website boils down to, "they are going to start treating us like black people, and i believe the marginalization of black people is immutable destiny"

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'

Just guessing here, but I suspect the White House is pushing so hard for wars of conquest on multiple fronts because they see their support collapsing ahead of the midterms and worry they won't get another shot. An example of how tyrants become more dangerous as they get weaker, not less.

They've let a Filipino director make the Magellan movie, say no more, I'm already sold. letterboxd.com/journal/mage...

I don't think I've enjoyed a year less than this since jr. high.

May the world treat you the way you treat trans kids.

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Bennett Miller, best known for 'Capote' and 'Moneyball,' celebrates his birthday today. His career began with the 1998 film 'The Cruise,' which we recommend here as one of the best documentaries about New York City: buff.ly/3Pjydtz

tfw you are too racist for *this* guy

It ain’t Christmas without a little jugband music.

The Godfather gave us one of the best Christmas jams of all time, too. #AugustaRepresent youtu.be/cz48PR__uSo?...

you will be visited by three spirits

We looked it up and learned that humbug was a word the kids made up in the 1750s so essentially what Scrooge was saying was “Bah, 6-7”

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

They were just kids. He’d only be 61 today. The past is not even past.

SISU: ROAD TO REVENGE is pure exploitation lunacy.

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is one of my favorite things that @splicedpersonality.bsky.social has ever written for us.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

EMMETT OTTER'S JUG-BAND CHRISTMAS (1977, YouTube, #film) Unbearably wholesome and elaborately wrought muppet made-for-TV musical special about an impoverished mother and son trying to bring Christmas magic to each other. Fully ensouled, fully wonderful. Now up for free on YT thanks to Shout!

Ten years ago.

Tubi is such a crazy streaming service. It’s like if the Criterion Closet was in a gas station

A film like no other

Wasteful Fonts sounds like a middle-aged cover band made up of the college English department faculty.

This is no different than Trump saying Chuck Schumer isn't Jewish anymore, fuck off Hillary

poverty kills, yaheard?

I would rather have a world where we all trust each other and accept that a few people will take advantage of it than a world where folks have to perform disability constantly in order to get the help they need. Let kids have an extra 30 minutes on the test, jesus fucking christ

I feel like not enough folks know that Alf's real name, canonically, is Gordon Shumway...and for some reason, despite this, he let these dismissive humans continue to refer to him by a moniker that's just an abbreviation for "Alien Life Form." Also, why am I getting retroactively mad about it?

I have a new disc and streaming guide up and this time I'm not going to apologize for how INSANELY LONG it is. I will not! I can't control when this many good things come at once! It's free to read! Enjoy! crookedmarquee.com/the-best-mov...

Very fun roundup. Also read Matt's book Opposable Thumbs, an anecdote-packed tribute to the small-screen critical titans who changed lives--certainly those of us future movie critics.

1. Great, let's do this 2. Here's some useful info (from my agent). You have until March 23, 2026 and it now includes illustrators 3. Here is the Works Lookup link: secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/

It cannot be remembered enough that these were the same people who got worked up about drag brunches

"American girls have to sell sex to the nominee for attorney general of the United States to get braces" sounds like Soviet propaganda

the best case scenario here is that trump initiated a shambolic scandalous cover up across the federal government this year for his own political version of Frank on Always Sunny telling people correctly that he doesn’t diddle children but understandably causing everyone to suspect something
