Batman Returns, my beloved. 🖤🦇🐧🐈‍⬛🎄

Found your Christmas present

I definitely had an emotional reaction to that Avengers: Doomsday teaser, which is to say that I misread "Triumph" as "Trump" on Cap's motorcycle and immediately became furious, all "Steve Rogers would NEVER" and "FFS, did Trump somehow stamp his fucking name on Marvel, too?"

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

SFWA walked that back so fast, I hadn't even finished deleting and reposting my typo-riddled rage yet..

Man, I wish this announcement had come BEFORE I renewed my membership. I could've saved myself some money.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia. It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

Celebrating 2nd place at Star Trek trivia tonight with my happy music:

I do not want Gaston backstory, I do not need Gaston backstory, I reject Gaston backstory he is a fully formed oaf, consuming eggs by the dozen in one of the greatest villain songs ever written, and that is all we need of him

In lieu of a newsletter, my (somewhat belated) monthly blog post, in which I talk about turning 40, writing in 2025, watching Wake Up Dead Man, and obsessing over various things (Blue Prince, Yuletide, etc.—er, the fanfic challenge, not the season.)

Hey @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @cnn.com and legacy media - where's the coverage of the cognitively impaired and deeply unwell president? Imagine ANY other president saying this. It'd be front page for weeks. When it's all over, we'll remember the part you played.

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

What the actual fuck

In honour of Rob Reiner, have David Moore's thread on the best sword fight in movie history and exactly how nerdy it is.

Waiting for more details, obviously, but shit, this Rob Reiner news is awful.

I mean, NGL: I wouldn't necessarily mind a *bit* more with Benoit Blanc's life, if it meant we got more Phillip. But otherwise, absolutely, yes—there is never, ever a need to give a character's mustache a tragic origin story.

The horrors persist but so do I, but also could the horrors like. slow down perhaps

Having now seen the Animal Farm trailer, I can only say ....

Movie you've watched more than six time with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

You just wanted to prove there was one safe place, just one safe place where you could love him. You have not found that place yet. You have not made that place yet. You are here. You are here. You’re still right here. -Richard Siken, "You Are Jeff"

I just hate him so much.

Excellent reporting from @charliesavage.bsky.social and @julianbarnes.bsky.social starting with the "plain reality" that there was no warship, and no fighting going on, in the Sept. 2 strike, or any of them: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/u... 1/2

Also USPS didn't loss money because it doesn't make money because it's not a business and if never makes money to begin with. It did however deliver over 112.5 billion pieces of mail in 2024 and that doesn't even include packages.

Damn, this makes me so sad. I grew up on Mortal Kombat, and we literally say, "Too late, Lord Raiden" all the time in this house. RIP.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

I cannot choose. I must cheat and pick all of them: The Residence Severance Murderbot The Pitt Also, for Old Show We Watched a TON Of For the First Time: Murder, She Wrote

I try not to watch any clip of Trump for my own sanity, but I did it this time because I had to make sure I read that response correctly. Which I did, and now I'm full of regret (for clicking play) and rage (what kind of soulless motherfucker).

I don't have a Thanksgiving music playlist to listen to while I cook (I genuinely don't know what that would even sound like), but I DO have a very long horror movie OST playlist, and that will have to do. 🔪😱

introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen Weird Al Tori Amos Alanis Morissette Hole Cage the Elephant (Heh, I've been to so few concerts in my life that I'm using a joint tour AND a music festival just to complete the meme.)

Honor the first Americans and support Indigenous writers. This is just a small list for so many important voices.

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

DOORDASH: imagine a $12 sandwich ME: oh dang that sounds so good DOORDASH: now imagine that it could be yours for just $37

Nnedi Okorafor said my short story was thought-provoking and refreshingly strange. Makes me smile every time I think about it.

WhatsApp: Hey, have you considered using AI to perfect your messages to your loved ones? You can! Me: Delete. WhatsApp: Are you sure you want to delete this conversation with WhatsApp? Me: I would set this conversation with WhatsApp on fire if I could.

I would demand so many things. This is literally all I would do with power. To start with: 1. Dungeons & Dragons 2 2. Wes Anderson makes a slasher 3. An adaptation of the Will Darling Adventures by KJ Charles 4. A Batfamily movie or TV show (preferably TV show) 5: The Residence, Season 2

A reminder that @henrylienauthor.bsky.social released this book in 2025 and it's a much needed read about exploring other structures for fiction. It's eligible as Best Related Work for the Hugos and Best Non-Fiction for the Locus.

Re: previous post - People who steal art of any kind are assholes, full stop. If *you* deserve to be paid for your labor, so do I - and so does everybody else; this means writers, visual artists, musicians, and every other category of People Who Make Things.

Motherfucker. Another site? Again? AGAIN?

Okay, is it just me, or is the news like ... especially A Lot today?

While on tour promoting 'Wake Up Dead Man', Rian Johnson goes off on AI for “making everything worse in every single way.” bit.ly/47UBPfH

This is very sad news, but I am glad to see that The Deadlands will continue. Read this and then: support the zines and publishers you love. It is tough, rough times for small publishers and zines. Do what you can to help them continue their good work.

i feel…nuts

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I've said this before, but the ER cast member we need on The Pitt is Kellie Martin to further traumatize us elder millennials.

Am I completely obsessed with Blue Prince because this game has everything I love (solving puzzles, uncovering clues, exploring incredibly weird houses), or because I increasingly feel the need to dive into something, anything, for hours on end and forget the real world exists? Yes.
