based on my experiences as a parent i genuinely believe that if someone is feeling irritable the first thing they should ask themselves is “have i pooped today?”

Just gonna add to this with a why-the-hell-not quick excerpt from the DIE HARD book to underline the point: if John McFuckingTiernan doesn't think you should take unnecessary risks, then this bloviating dipshit should fully shut the fuck up

Here's a tip: You can find all 514 episodes of the 1960s prime-time soap Peyton Place on YouTube (and the 1st 166 eps on Shout! Factory DVDs). Each episode takes about 23 mins. to watch. It is unbelievably soothing and, in its slow, ancient way, completely addictive. >

Good to see that in 1985, you could drop the slur "f__g" and the longer version at least eight times in a film and still get a PG. In a Disney film. *sigh* Wild.

Got to see THE LAST FIVE YEARS 25th Anniversary Show tonight at the Hollywood Bowl - starring Rachel Zegler and Ben Platt. Both were great, but Zegler delivered an absolutely superstar performance that tore the house down. A fun show - felt like a special experience to be there live for this.

I got so invested in this, I want to know if the horse got its cake

Nick Offerman is the fucking best in MARGO'S GOT MONEY TROUBLES. The. Best.

guys, bluesky is dying. if we don't start getting more likes, a greedy developer will bulldoze the site to put up a parking garage. the only thing that can save it is for a ragtag crew of misfits to put on one last big concert at the community center.

Good morning. "Jerry Chen Seeking Verification" was a 32-month sociological experiment studying the effects of excessive nagging on social media and its effects on users, conducted by Quinnipiac University. We are now complete with our study; thank you for your time.

At least two Drews agree. This felt like "real" MAD magazine to me.

doing a cover of a song and changing the pronouns in the lyrics to make sure the listener knows youre straight should be punishable by death

“Who cares if it worked or not?!”

Watching the new season of SUGAR. About five months ago, I was driving home from the movies late at night and suddenly found myself in the midst of a film shoot, with a couple of camera cars around me and Colin Farrell driving Sugar's convertible in front of us. LA used to be like this all the time.

Wrote about IN THE LOST LANDS and my love affair with Paul W.S. Anderson. letterboxd.com/abegoldfarb/...

Well, I already hated this fucking dude, but holy cow, this is horrific. If you use OpenAI for anything... at all... I am judging the living shit out of you.

i'm coming over you better not be a skeleton waiter who throws a food tray, misses, then dives to the ground and explodes instantly

When someone calls during The Pitt.

If you're a SHRINKING fan, let me assure you that episode eleven, next week's season (and maybe series?) finale, is going to mess you up.

There is entirely too much Leif Garrett in the film I'm watching.

Losing my mind trying to figure out what this is supposed to mean

You wrote a novel using AI? Cool. It's like that time I ran a marathon using a Ford Focus.

Pam Bondi getting fired for saying everything she was told to say

Here's how to watch Terminator or any other movie in Retro Rewind

Wonderful thread.

Any AI hater list you have, put me on it.

They just found 'em! No one knows how they got there! It's like magic! Or horseshit. Do better, WIRED. This is pathetic.

Alan Moore on now.

Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

This one still fuckin kills me

The Claude Code leak makes clear the extent to which the wrapping around the “LLM” itself does so much heavy lifting. The stochastic flock starts a murmuration in these places, which are also Anthropic’s way of constraining it. The flock escapes the aviary when systems interact. ⬇️

I will be forever in awe of this exchange

CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURSED.

Saving this classic

Hey did everyone see Clavicular get his ass beat after he challenged a cancer survivor leftist to a jujitsu match, who said as he was choking him out ‘this is for all the bullshit I gotta watch on my fucking feed’… we need more of this not more podcasts

Wishing him well. He's a joyful performer but I've also heard nothing but good about him as a person and a collaborator. This is terrible.

Why does anyone give a shit about Kristi Noem's husband? Talk about paying attention and giving oxygen to absolute nonsense. Who cares? What office does he hold? What government agency is he fucking up? Oh, he's not? Then can we talk about that instead?

"criticizing AI use in journalism or other creative industries is classist" NO IT IS NOT there is a class that benefits enormously from cognitive surrender, epistemic warfare, and the enclosure of all hitherto produced culture and it is NOT THE WORKING CLASS

If you haven't read @lindseyadler.bsky.social's piece lately on becoming and staying a journalist over the past 15 years, you should

If this is an April Fool's Day joke, I'm burning someone's house down.

America agrees on very little, so it's nice to have a day where we can all agree that, look, nobody has time for your April Fool's Jokes today. We're exhausted, we're over it, we're the thrice-divorced parent in the minivan stuck with baseball practice chauffeur duty you don't want to mess with! ;)

Good hire!

i hope everyone around me on the subway enjoyed my look of abject disgust as i read this.

I'm listening to an older episode of Ryan Coogler's podcast where he talks a little bit about Batman: The Animated Series being a favorite show growing up, and somehow it makes perfect sense.

Horror Nonna needs our help. You know what to do, horror peeps!

Is there a particular name for the "speed run through a TV show because you might end up writing for it" binge that writers do? If not, there should be.
