Respressing the urge to scream and pull my jaw off my skull, scattering teeth like marbles.

Reminded today of Malcolm Tucker: 'I mean, fucking, compared to Number 10, this place is fucking tranquil, yeah? Over there, 300 yards down the road... it's like a fucking cancer ward. I mean, there are people in there, they're fucking screaming at each other..."You gave me this fucking disease!"'

Hoping 'We thought you was a toad!' gets shoehorned into Nolan's film.

This made me laugh out loud multiple times. Tenet is just such a ridiculous movie.

We need a leftist Andrew Tate. We need a leftist Fox News. We need a casino where you don't gamble and they give you free money. I refuse to understand the ecosystem I'm in the center of and I will not leave or modify my behavior. We need leftist McNuggets

Lhude sing, cuccu!

This sounds like the end of the world and it's joyous.

Nice! "In the Hills, the Cities" is one of the greatest short stories ever written in any genre.

Das Elend (1900-09) - Adolf Werner (1862-1916) #symbolism #psyсhological_realism

Kwaidan is one of THE most perfect movies ever made, but have y’all seen The Snow Woman?? Unfuckingreal, and adds some intense tragedy to the titular ghost’s side of the story.

This is a pretty concerning graph! Hell's aquarium indeed.

I mean, Trump is very ill and has had several mini-strokes in the last year. Shelly Miscavige is dead. Only technically conspiracies because they're being covered up, but we know they're true.

PULSE

Come True (2020) because its final 20 seconds manage to completely butcher the rest of the film, which i found stylish and unsettling.

The Wave — Carloz Schwabe

Struggling with reading atm, but managed to get through some Leigh Brackett - she's really great! I wish there was a physical collection of her complete works or something.

Casual mood at work today

[reading about another extremely graphic murder or whatever] god this is so soothing, compared to real life

Hi everyone I just wanted to let you all know that I've been adopted and this is my new mom and dad:

Love the way Dr Orpheus speaks in capitalised sentences. "Powered By A Forsaken Child?!" Wish I had an interrobang for this winner.

The more I look at this the more amazing it gets. She's in nylons and heels

A couple of pieces based on Michael Moorcock's New Wave classic, Behold the Man. Will probably do a couple more at some point

Landscape in Winter at Moonlight (c.1836) - Carl Eduard Ferdinand Blechen (1798–1840) #romanticism

I think if Bluesky has taught me anything, it's that the 'English speaking countries i could escape to if things get worse here' are also fucked up shitholes.

I am with you even when you're alone
