The first new video of 2026 (!) asks, "What happens when the movie we're watching turns its head and watches us back?" An exploration of eye contact, and what connects us to cinema and each other. Please enjoy, share, comment, and all that other good engagement stuff! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UIp...

I decided a while ago today, but today? Not a shower day. (Shower tomorrow! I feel less human if I’m not showering daily.)

So once again a man started a wildly successful harassment campaign against a female celebrity who didn’t actually do anything and the internet swallowed it full throated, and the whole thing is revealed to be concocted horseshit he can’t muster anything more than “sorry that happened I guess”

the haters will say this video will NEVER reach 300K views don't let the haters win youtu.be/ERKEsIzTFas?...

The power of someone on a movie screen turning to a camera, and thus to you. Edit by Adam Fromm ( @slipjig.bsky.social ). youtu.be/3UIp6Wfqf7A

A resting day.

I know there have to be like two dozen incredible screenplays about Josephine Baker floating around out there, and I want them all to be movies

Today I learned there is an official music video for the famously short song “Holiday Road.” (The video has nothing to do with NATIONAL LAMPOON’S VACATION, either.) youtu.be/KsYqIJqlPNc

Rewatching Real Genius (1985) tonight and I have to say it ages pretty well. I’ve been noticing how much 80s nostalgia overlooks how much of the media had themes of anti-war/anti-military industrial complex, especially toward the end of the decade. This movie isn’t even subtle about it.

Hell of a film, and the reason I like and support Eric Roberts #RunawayTrain

I've described BARTON FINK as "the closest the Coen Brothers have come to ERASERHEAD" Probably a shallow assessment, but I like it

Péter Magyar victory speech: "We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others." He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

MY GOD

Look, a lot of us are having trouble finding hope or peace or a pause button on the screaming in our head, so schadenfreude is really the only thing we have going for us right now. I think it's nice that every once in a while we can come together to enjoy a very bad person having a very bad day.

Shallow question alert: GenX and older - what non-surgical things are we doing about our aging turkey necks other than denial and turtlenecks? Please don’t make me ask on Threads.

Genuinely do not understand "because this Republican president sucks on new levels, we'll pretend previous monsters never committed acts of pure fucking evil" mentality.

Thanks JD !

I still think of Ron Moore apologizing for having two BSG episodes in a row that did the sudden dramatic opening followed by "11 hours earlier..." thing.

Saw someone say they thought it was weird David Byrne never was a drug user. And like…how do you not know EXACTLY why he’s who he is. That is autism defined

After a run of these I saw this and cried laughing.

well I’m going to need this image for probably the rest of my internet life, however long that may be

Where the grass is [redacted] and the girls are [redacted].

Sunday morning is a great time for a long read. So here you go. A not so quick look at the movies of 1996. aflickeringlife.wordpress.com/2026/04/12/a...

"Checkmate. Owned. Yahtzee." #PossibleDialogue

I had Bambuza pho after work yesterday, as an early dinner. It's good! It's also way too big to have for lunch, unless I had an hour to eat. (I *can* have Hissho Sushi's ramen for lunch, yay)

Hello from a big chair at the airport

Lursa and B’etor hate Worf with the fire of a thousand suns yet they instantly love his mom because she is not even 1% intimidated by them even though she’s so much shorter that her head barely comes up to their boob armor and they’re used to humans scaring easy. they also get into prune juice

I think every day of my life about “Real Housewives of the Federation”

BRB making a Jesus AI that is going to tell people to do socialism and be kind to sex workers gonna charge only 99 cents an hour, way cheaper than the other AI Jesus.

Prosecutors hate this one simple hack:

If you've never read John M. Ford, start now. If you think he never wrote your favourite genre, think again. Spy thriller? Check. Alt historic fantasy? Check. Hilarious Star Trek novel? Check. 9/11 poem that will never leave you? Check. ... This 2nd sonnet in particular is engraved on my heart.

Irma post-surgery pupdate: she’s doing really well, getting lots and lots of rest in these first few days at home, eating and drinking and using the ramps. 💜 She’ll start regaining energy in a few days so I added some enrichment toys to my wishlist in case anyone wants to help keep her entertained!

Someone's going to grab that standee and shake it while doing the Original Skeletor voice. Also He-Man looks kind of like John Carter.

He found another source of leprechauns?!

Would you like to know what good local businesses do? They see banner/tifo art celebrating their previous jersey sponsorship and they show up at our clubhouse and reward tifo volunteers with free ice cream sandwiches and cheese snacks. Thanks, Tillamook! #RCTID

Happy day after your birthday, Aly! Keep giving yourself treats.

I don’t usually dig shirts from tourist shops, but I’d wear this one.

"if you were in charge of star trek, what would you do?" Bajor resistance limited series & MORE ANIMATED SHOWS

This is also a fake image. The details of the capsule are entirely wrong.

Weird phenomenon over on Threads, multiple versions of: “I’m a liberal influencer obsessed with Heated Rivalry and I’m terrified of the NYC subway which exists to kill women” - can’t decide if these are foreign bots or grifter trolls or the homophobes who love trading M/M but it’s suspicious

It's good to share good news. #kakapo

Tori Amos did the right thing when it had to be very difficult for all sorts of reasons. This makes me want to hug her. (Thread.)

Here’s the story of one of them. Awful www.thestranger.com/forced-out/f...

That’s four with this same bio…today

They have voice! Comms are back and trajectory is good. 🎉🥳🙌

Mission Control is now processing data from Integrity (the crew capsule). Trajectory is perfect, they have data. Still waiting for voice.

(me, several times during a Jeopardy episode) Young Indy met him.

During an interview today for TV the reporter asked me what I’m most looking forward to about the return of #Artemis II (referring I think to the science data/discoveries) and I replied that all I care about today is that the astronauts return home safely 🙏🏼
