In fairness, "destroy good things" is the only mode she was programmed to follow. She has no other settings.

99% of the useless shit I know, I only know because I came of age in a time where your only consistent entertainment option was "Turn on tv and watch one of 13 channels."

I think along with "doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result" one of the definitions of insanity should be "the impulse to destroy something you know works just because you don't like that it could potentially work for everyone and not just yourself".

See this? This right here is why I love SINNERS.

It's like if Gavin Newsom were to become president in 2028 and continued Trump's policies after all that anti-Trump bluster (which is probably what would happen if he was elected, honestly).

I don't understand Carney's motivations. He seems intent on alienating the people who held their noses in order to avoid the conservatives taking over in favour of the people who did not (and will never) vote for him. This goes beyond pragmatism. His strategy doesn't make sense.

Just thinking about how my local mall in the 90s had a giant sculpture of Yosemite Sam using a fish as a fleshlight

I've been thinking about pop culture depictions of generations and I realize a major reason I bought into the 90s depiction of Gen X is because I personally fit the jaded-artsy-progressive stereotype, even though in retrospect most of the dudes I had to deal with were all future Trump voters.

There we go. That there’s a headline.

Also, we should know what the song is going to be/sound like within the first 5 seconds of its starting. None of that "tuning up your instruments" for a minute bullshit.

This is amazing and is further evidence that Joanna Cassidy was always the most attractive woman Hollywood did not know how to style properly in the 80s. Maybe they should have given her Steiger’s wig and moustache?

Yup.

Before praising Hilton, wait a bit, because my guess is the emails are from one decent manager at one hotel, who the chain is promptly going to fire in deference to the fascists.

People have the unmitigated gall to post hateful shit in response to innocuous things and then lament how bad this year already is. Try some self-reflection, you turnips.

if you’re in line for your annual comeuppance, STAY IN LINE

Three weeks ago I made the same parallel associate professor Alisha Ahmad makes in this article between a military invasion of Canada and the 20 year occupation of Afghanistan. If you really believe the U.S. could easily takeover my country, you're really really really dumb.

Think about how much money the U.S. spent on the decades long occupation of Afghanistan and how little they actually achieved/accomplished because of it. Times the cost to do the same to Canada by 100*. And factor in that this would be an invasion that actively puts U.S. citizens in harm's way.

I remember years and years ago I was walking behind two elderly women looking for a place to eat on Whyte Ave. One of them noticed the sign of a popular (but overrated) Mexican restaurant (that mostly just sells Slurpified "margaritas") and said, "Should we try Jew-lio's Barrio?"

More like a zest pool because we give social media that extra zing it needs.

This was the first DVD I ever bought, and I still have it, so it's the oldest DVD I own.

I feel like the people low-key accusing Tim Walz of cowardice for dropping out really need to take some extra time out of their day to go fuck themselves. Even after he drops out, Trump is still going to do everything he can to make his life a living hell for the crime of campaigning against him.

Watching the two TASKMASTER New Year’s specials and is Rose Ayling-Ellis the most delightful/adorable person on the planet?

YT recommended a vid by Tom Nicholas, and I was like, "My TL tells me I should hate this guy. I'll give this video 2 minutes." Then I watched the whole thing (and more) and decided to check why I'm supposed to hate him. Turned out I was thinking of Tom Nichols. What a difference an "a" makes.

I always feel blessed that my two favourite classic stars made 4 films together.

As we hit another year and I'm still contemplating my 5th decade, it seems way too obvious to me that the problem is people don't want to learn about the world they live in. They only want to find ways to prove it's the world they want it to be. And those are two completely different things.

Wearing inappropriate outfits to work just to Ally McBeal something.

The astronauts in space sequence is almost STAR CRASH level stupid. That is one of the greatest compliments I can give a movie.

MOONRAKER is so so so SO so SO SO SO DUMB!. If every Bond movie was this ridiculous, this would be my favourite franchise of all time and not just the one I put on when I'm in the mood to troll good people who have done nothing wrong (that I can prove in court).

I've always liked Lois Chiles in this, so it's weird that the only other credit of hers I can think of off the top of my head is her one scene as Diane Court's mom in SAY ANYTHING.

I will never not love a movie* where the evil plot involves sending hot ladies in miniskirts into space.

Every time I’ve watched MOONRAKER I’ve admired how it’s so joyously idiotic my brain instantly forgets it just so I can always enjoy how truly stupid it is for the first time.

I think I may have to ask @jamesdavidpatrick.bsky.social if his Maurice Binder/Huey Lewis mashups are still online.

Think I'm gonna put on the 3rd best James Bond movie, which is MOONRAKER because it's the 3rd best Roger Moore Bond movie and those are the only ones I rank. Heh. Holly Goodhead.

If you're a cool person who talks good and hasn't seen JOE VS THE VOLCANO, hit us up @cinemashame.bsky.social so James can finally talk about his favourite movie for a full episode.

Brian just cost me $66.

That said, this was the #2 movie that day, so I kinda dodged a bullet.

The #1 movie on your birthday the year you turned 26 will be your 2026 vibe. I feel like mine would be better suited for @jasondashbailey.com's 2025, tbh.

Put on DEAD MAN DON'T WEAR PLAID and goddamn Rachel Ward in this movie. GOD. DAMN.

A valid criticism I haven't seen lobbed at the Jubilee video debate format is how when people outside the debate "vote out" a debater who is actually doing a great job it strongly suggests they aren't there to debate/disprove the dissenter's position but to instead just get their turn on camera.

An absolutely wonderful, versatile, powerful and powerfully funny actor who enlivened everything he was in, and a huge loss. I'm not going to say the word, but we're all thinking it in his honor. RIP Isiah Whitlock. deadline.com/2025/12/isia...

Trouble making ends meet? Holidays wiped you out? Consider becoming an undecided voter! Our course will teach you how to answer questions from New York Times reporters with “we-e-e-ll…” and the type of insane opinion that gets big ink. But can you be “undecided” if you’re just a Republican? Yes!

Part of my job sometimes includes having to check out partner companies' web pages to see how they market themselves and it's low-key hilarious how many insist they're different from their competitors before describing themselves the exact same way the others do.

I take a little time off and the leader of Canada’s official opposition goes on a livestream with a guy who begged me for feet pics This is why people think canada isn’t real!!!!!

Literally the story of my life.

The only real argument I had here on Bsky was with the dude who kept replying "What about the poor widdle baby boys out there who are sads cuz people don't treat them like heroes for existing?" while he ignored all of explanations why those poor widdle baby boys don't matter more than anyone else.

I rarely use the YT phone app, so I’m just seeing my 2025 wrap up now and I was surprised by the last two, because they’re not my most watched reaction channels, but then I realized I subscribe to the patreons of the channels I watch more and apparently those views don’t count. 🤣

Sane people think "This person did admirable things, so they were given an award." Trump people thing "This person has an award, that's why they're admired." It's a small wonder there's such a huge overlap between Trumpists and AI bros. Both want praise for doing something without ever doing it.

Trumpers have a howling void of angry insecurity where a soul should be. Unchecked power tastes like ashes in their mouth because they thought when they got it everyone would be forced to like and admire them even though they’re irredeemable assholes. But people still treat them like assholes.

The saddest part of Trump's "My friends will get hurt!" response is the fact that he thinks he has friends.
