what a terrible idea

Hey folks, can I ask you to do something quickly today? Allegedly, constituents aren't urging Jeffries to endorse Mamdani. Do you live in CD8? Are you sick of this guy's generally antipathy toward the duly-elected Democratic nominee for mayor? Give his office a call. Ask him to endorse.

New Frot! Jordan Peterson is moldy, a new Libertarian death colony, and Eddington, with @brianabrams.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/645-yo...

He threw out homeless people's tents with his bare hands. I'm not exaggerating, he did it on camera, on purpose

did a twitch politics streamer meet one of the highest profile political prisoners of the trump regime before schumer and hakeem could be bothered

Aight man.

If New York Democrats cannot immediately, stridently and forcefully speak out in defense of Mamdani against this level of fascism, they are a lost cause.

A great interview with @peterfeld.bsky.social about the impact of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ‘s victory in New York City.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something but 📽️

Cuomo resigned in disgrace and he continued to siphon off millions upon millions of our taxpayer dollars to pay for his own legal defense. Harassing the women he already sexually harassed at work, now in court. It is existential for our city not to vote for a man who hates us.

Oh well that’s just fucking great. Now I have to prove to @willsloanesq.bsky.social that I can read.

Trump may have just won Zohran the election.

What are your top five favorite legal wars?

@brianabrams.bsky.social and I went through the series* this past weekend. The first is the best thanks to the character work, but there are things to chew over in the sequels (whether Balbricker is a white supremacist in the second, the knockoff Faltemeyer score in the third).

*ties ascot*

On the new @junkfilterpod.bsky.social, I put together an emergency panel to say farewell to the great Joe Don Baker with returning guests @brianabrams.bsky.social and @willsloanesq.bsky.social. WALKING TALL, FRAMED, MITCHELL, FINAL JUSTICE, and much more! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/j...

Delighted to report that my treatise on the farting gag in the 1983 motion picture JOYSTICKS made the final, erm, cut. A Junk Filter pod first on such a topic, apparently.

Early reviews are great

I’m not gonna make it

January 19

amazing things are happening on rednote

DIE HARD PACK-IN-VIDEO 1991 NES

They’re booing Hulk Hogan, loudly, on Monday Night Raw. Gawker lives

Downloaded. There's still a Gawker-shaped hole in my life.

Yes! The Gawker oral history can be downloaded FOR FREE on your Kindle or via the Kindle app www.amazon.com/dp/B0127Z6F5O

The Gawker oral history is free to download this week on the Kindle app. It was originally published right at the beginning of the tabloid empire’s demise - but to only know it as "the site brought down by Hogan" would be absurd. I’d urge any students of media to devour this thing. a.co/d/06CZpie

Gonna make the Gawker oral history free next. Will share a link in the morning.

@sunshinesucks.bsky.social had a Taylor thought this morning which reminded me to reconnect with you

PSA: Psycho II is leaving netflix on 12/31. If you havent seen then I highly recommend and it’s okay you don’t even have to thank me 📽️ 👵🔪

a deliberate plot hole that helped production avoid an egregious continuity error - we all excuse it because there are so many interpretations, and i prefer it this way. de souza and stuart's script is so in sync that this little imperfection somehow improves the movie's charm, imho

@jessehawken.bsky.social listened to the two episodes yesterday. Great talk. You guys are completely wrong about Die Hard 2 and 3. I hope god spares your souls.

@jessehawken.bsky.social didn’t bring me along for my charming personality

How could the same shit happen to the same guy twice?

R.I.P. Art Evans

👋🏻 📽️ see you in February i guess

@ohnoshetwitnt.bsky.social hanukkah harry should buy this for you bsky.app/profile/bria...

Hey that’s me!

Really enjoyed that. I for one love the (highly unlikely) idea that it might have been Sinatra in the vest rather than Willis - though I’ll wager there would have been far fewer stairs in the building. And yes, Psycho II is ace.

If you're smart with your money then you know the trick to guesting on podcasts is to treat them as free therapy sessions.

gm, doing the lord's work over here 📽️

Whoa this sounds fascinating! Cant wait to tune in!

might start posting about Die Hard for a change

If you hear a sloshing sound in the background on the recording that’s just my brain trying to form sentences after 8pm

What moron could he have possibly suckered into doing this

A lot of people keep asking why this is now back to the normal price of $2.99, but the Die Hard oral history will always be free to download . . . in our hearts.

This is a great read, packs in more cool behind-the-scenes stories than there are bad guys in the Pacific Courier truck, and really makes me wish there’d been a Reginald VelJohnson spinoff

This is a fun read, full of details sharper than Nakatomi glass.
