I always thought the whole "they want you dead" thing was just hyperbole. But I guess this makes the entire raw milk, no vax, more asbestos stuff make a lot more sense.

*"Mister Jellybun" in minor key on violin begins to play*

Save us, Clancy Brown.

Yeah it is genuinely fucking scaring me the degree to which all our cultural output about nuclear war lately seems to present it as a Struggle That Humanity Will Emerge From Stronger. We honestly cannot allow that message to propagate in our fictions, because it *will* doom us. Nuclear War is not…

There's an episode of The Goon Show, I forget which one, where there's an ongoing gag about Prime Minister Eccles repeatedly resigning from his position at the drop of a hat. Some days life reflects even the most absurd art, or at least it feels like it's trying to.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

I always thought I was needy. Then I read Sarah Ferguson's Epstein-Mails. Holy Christ, that woman's in a whole other league!

Disney immediately striking while the iron is filth-encrusted with a rebrand of it's ailing water parks: Typhoid Lagoon and Bacterial Beach coming in 2027!

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

I try to separate the art from the artist but I don't think I can enjoy Budgie the Helicopter after this, I'm sorry.

“He’s killing us in the streets and we still have to pay our taxes in April” is an incredibly compelling point.

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

With video of another street execution from ICE going around, a reminder that while video documentation of atrocities is important, you have no ethical obligation to watch videos of people dying. Traumatizing yourself isn’t advocacy. You do not have to watch the video to be outspoken against this

...this feels bleak. This feels like being stood at the top of a VERY slippery slope and your heels are already squeaking against the ground. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Oops! All Alchemists

in the plus side, watching the president of the United States destroy the entire geopolitical order because he didn't get a shiny award has successfully cured all my hangups about subtle character motivation in writing

It's not *just* that Ant & Dec are about 20 years late to the podcast space, it's that their very first podcast *isn't* called "Podcast & Duncan".

The realest thing ever said about working in the arts

So last year I embarked upon a project, a play, and it felt like it died by summer. I just couldn't get it done, and when I did it felt wrong, like put together wrong, piecemeal, bad. I let it rot, picked the good bones back up and built around it again. Just finished a draft... ...aaaaaaah.

Bahahahaha, holy MOLY. Though I'm left with a glowing sense of vindication about not vibing with the show from the get-go.

Poor FOX News. Not the sound bite they were looking for.

Me clicking on a restaurant website: I wonder when they're open and what they serve Restaurant website: O U R M I S S I O N

Y'know, for a country so obsessed with the spectre of communism lurking behind every door, America is doing a lot of Bolsheviking... ...Seizing resources for themselves illegally, silencing political opponents, doublespeak, trying to shimmy into dictatorship.

Dwayne McDuffie never lied.

Horace and Pete. Legitimately super interesting both in terms of story and production. Plus Steve Buscemi, Paul Simon and a who's who of generational talent. But FUCK Louis CK.

Minor Ultimate Endgame Spoiler: It's a good day to be an obscure character fan, yes?

WHAT'S BETTER THAN THIS? GUYS BEIN' DUNES

It's true! Literally proven correct!!

Y’all, the Castlevania: Awakening In The Moonlight musical by Takarazuka Revue is available legally on VOD with subtitles starting today until the end of March, this is a great adaptation and the women in this show are so good, PLUS this is a rare experiment globally Please see it if you’re curious

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 71616: If you're struggling to stay creative during the dark part of the year, go back to what you love. Re-read, re-watch, rediscover old favourites. Remind yourself why you're doing this. Find your joy.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Was a big fan of the monolith from 2001, had no idea it visited Epstein Island. Donating my Blu-Ray to charity.

"Dammit! Who put a Saudi ad on the canvas?! For the last time, anything you print on the mat, Cody will kiss!!"

Stealworkers

Well... Try harder then?

A very real book about very real things by a VERY real author. Thanks Joho I. Patchwolf! @eyepatchwolf.bsky.social

You will be visited by 3 spirits.

this has become a very important video to me

"the end times"

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.
