Still thinking about the scene in What Lies Beneath where Michelle Pfeiffer tells her therapist that her house is haunted and he offers her an Atomic Fireball from a bowlful that he keeps next to him.

We should be allowed to have things other than motives be ulterior sometimes.

Ok, I think I have to move back to NYC (at least for Sept.) because this Big & Loud series sounds amaaaazing: films like Lawrence of Arabia, Close Encounters, 2001, Interstellar, Dunkirk, Matrix, Fury Road, etc. in 70mm + Dolby Atmos. Wow! [paristheaternyc.com]

We need to see a messy bitch in the Criterion closet talking about the movies they would’ve been better in.

I have so much work to do on myself.

What is this part of the new subway cars for. It looks like it’s supposed to do something cool.

Oh yeah I saw that movie. My favorite part was the film grain.

Loving the menu at this place.

Just meet me at the Ann and David Kupperman Foundation Global Advanced Therapeutic Fund.

riding around on my motorcycle making it do those extremely loud and VERY cool fart sounds that everyone loves. you know the ones where the bike is already super noisy and then suddenly goes BRRAP so loud your brain reboots? for me that's the sound of saying Thank You to my community every evening

I like when they put up billboards to argue some minor point of Christian dogma. Feels like a throwback to the 1500s.

Here are some things you always need to consider

32-year-old Adil Husain tells @thebarbedwire.com he’ll spend the rest of his life thinking about the patients he couldn’t save on his 2-week trip to Palestine. Our in-depth interview with a Dallas ER doctor who remains haunted by the incomprehensible devastation. thebarbedwire.com/2025/07/22/c...

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Some personal news: I received exclusive offers from premium brands today. Just keep pushing forward, your day will come!

It’s great that Zohran beat Andrew Cuomo, but I think he’s still going to have trouble in November defeating Shmandrew Shuomo, a kindly old lady who just shuffled onto the scene to run as a Republican.

It’s extremely telling that oligarchs are all “we love New York” and #NewYorkStrong until someone might make them pay one cent more in taxes and then they’re instantly like “this place is a shithole, we’re outta here”

Show about a cop so brash and brilliant, with so many demons, all he does is walk into a room, say “fuck you” to everyone in the room, and then solve the case by pointing at something in the room.

To own all your own artistic creations you just have to be either totally unsuccessful commercially or among the most successful artists of all time.

My most sea lion-coded trait is that I prefer to eat by having fish tossed into my mouth.

Love ordering a hot tea from the tea shop that I will be able to drink comfortably about 45 minutes later.

Republican cabinet members when shown something they said five minutes before

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity "To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Please add a feature to my streaming service where I can pause the show and it will explain to me why any of this is happening.

I just know the phrase Calamitous ORTBO is going to be with me for a while.

Wait are values the bullets or the target in this metaphor

I knew egg prices had gone up but this is really out of hand.

🎶Snow is falling in Manhattan As if for Davids Lynch and Berman…

An amazing modern invention is the big office lobby with absolutely no signage about what company it is. Hiding in plain sight.

10yo’s reaction to watching the ball drop for the first time: “when is the ball going to drop” “it just did” “Well that was disappointing I’m never watching that again”

It’s getting harder to get our kids to go outside and go places now that they’ve gotten older and realized there’s really no point in going places.

I’ve had over 40 Christmases now and my Great Pile of Presents is still not large enough. I must have more.

Slowly building a database of chicken mcnuggets of which the purpose will soon be clear

What I like about movies is that the pictures move. Not a big fan of the ones that are just a static image.

It’s good that the bottle includes instructions on what to do with it.

So true

Scientific term for climate change

I’d be amazed if there has been no thought or discussion at Nvidia of less wholesome ways in which this information could be used.

Watched the original Suspiria tonight for the first time. I’d felt kinda bad about seeing the remake first, but I like both in their own ways.

Brooklyn foliage

When I was 13 my dad got me a skateboard for my birthday. Two weeks later I was about to try it for the first time at Thanksgiving. He said “let me show you how it’s done”, got on, immediately fell off and broke his foot. I never saw the skateboard again.

Inflation is real.

Game of Thrones had an unmatched ability to keep introducing new characters who were some guy’s son or somebody’s brother who is the most unbelievable fucking asshole you have ever seen.
