I keep throwing absurd franchise wars at @cameronsuey.com and he is still my friend

I get why it happens but goddamn do I wish anything could hit as hard on the timeline as something that sucks that everyone hates written by or about the worst person you know. I wish something good or interesting was able to get anywhere near the traction some shit that sucks does.

I know how a lot of folks feel about the AVP movies but I am an apologist and if the current Alien and Predator hype results in another AVP but this time with actually good lighting and comprehensible fights, I’ll be happy

This weekend I watched all of the Alien movies (sans AVPs, tho I’ve seen them before)

me when strange men feel compelled to let me know that they think a movie I like is bad

Just watched Alien: Covenant for the first time

I've always loved taglines. My favourite might be PREDATOR 2: "He's in town with a few days to kill."

I wish I could write, stitch, and watch movies all at the same time

I’ve been dealing with a situation in which I’ve been seriously hurt through someone else’s selfishness, so reading Frankenstein then watching GDT’s Frankenstein this year is… truly something

Just got this text message from an unknown number as I was contemplating cancelling my plans in favor of staying home. Is this my couch??

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Current mental health status: a song that kapp’n sang to me on the way to a mystery island made me cry

Men stop randomly explaining what an epistolary novel is to women just because they didn’t use the term in their joke post challenge

Alright we're up to 36.5% of what we sold last year. Still much worse but this is an improvement over 6 days ago! Advent starts in a little over 2 weeks. Bring a little Eel-iday cheer into your house. EelFacts.net

I know I already reposted something to this effect yesterday but it would be really cool if folks could talk about horrific crimes without the oily “gotcha” tone. It makes you sound like you’re excited to have the upper hand in an argument more than having any interest in seeking justice

Captain Robert Walton: chismoso

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

I do like the framing of the book Frankenstein where it’s the captain writing this dude’s story in a letter Like imagine if in nowadays the captain was just like on his phone the whole time live texting it to his sister “Margaret you will not BELIEVE”

*raises hand to earpiece* ah, folks I’m getting-I’m getting some feedback here that I boost @observableradio.com “too much” in piggyback quote posts, well Gadies and Lentlemen at home, you can help decrease these instances by listening to the podcast and telling your friends to do the same

Relevant @observableradio.com episode: www.observableradio.com/episodes/tra...

I’m trying to stop softening so many messages with “lol” and “hahaha” but it’s hard because I also happen to be a person who laughs a lot when I speak out loud too

I have not once given a shit about labubus but with this news I am now daydreaming about using my demon voice from @observableradio.com to voice one (Episode 13, Palimpsest: www.observableradio.com/episodes/tra...)

Even non-drowsy antihistamines knock me out so I put some peppermint oil in hot water to see if it would help with my sinuses Here is what I learned: if you cover the mug, the steam will have built up and it will be like you were punched in the face by a candy cane I can breathe now tho so 9/10

It’s #TransgenderAwarenessWeek! Did you know that it’s so unlikely for a podcast host to be trans that statistics on it are inconclusive? And its even LESS likely if the show isn’t explicitly ABOUT transness? At This Ends at Prom we got @harmonycolangelo.bsky.social, a girl who can do both.

Light pollution is a relatively easy-to-address environmental problem. I’ve tried talking about it through the lenses of human and wildlife wellbeing, plus preventing insect, bird, and bat fatalities. Never got as much conversation as this post. Yet another reason to be grateful for the aurora ❤️

First day in my 37 years of life that I woke up in the mood to go for a walk

Every time folks are like “can you BELIEEEEEVE the moderation on this app???” that just tells me you haven’t been listening to folks of color since everyone started moving here from Twitter. There’s always been shaky footing here

I have a suggestion no one will like Incidentally, flu deaths plummeted in winter 2020. I wonder what people were wearing over their faces that helped stop the spread. I guess we'll never know; the practice appears lost to time.

My toxic trait is liking this post and having my letterboxd look like this (I’m not a critic tho so I know I get a pass, but still, lol)

Hey, do 3,419 of you want to follow me on IG? Apparently, I'll get more opportunities (Or something?) if I crack the magical 10k, and that's the only platform where I haven't. lmao this is so pathetic and embarrassing.

to be honest if we wanna dive REALLY deep, the answer is obvious: it has more to do with the ones doubting the possibility of sincerity. it is very difficult to fathom someones sincerity if youve slathered yourself in irony for ages and ages. this is not intended as a slight. i feel for those buds

Ok something that’s driving me bananas on @letterboxd.social is why is the top number uneven? I only started using this account this year where is the extra film coming from 😭

I received a DM on instagram that someone received a surprise Eel Facts Advent Calendar in the mail, and i applaud whichever one of you sent your friend a surprise eel facts. I encourage this behavior in the rest of you. EelFacts.net

The reason the headline is "doom!" is because when you see what's already been done, you see that we can do more, which means things can get better, which means rich people's "it's over, no stopping this, might as well let us do what we want" manipulation might stop working. Can't have that.

Yall remember to opt out of IG AI training before next month Look up a video on how to do it It is desktop only

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Lot of people are already passing this around with the usual "WHY ISN'T ANYONE DOING ANYTHING" shrieks, while ignoring the fact that the article literally says that this is a *significant* decrease from the warming that we were on track for even a few years ago.

On this note, it would be helpful if those of y’all posting/reposting screencaps would use the alt text so it could be caught by people’s filters 🤦 Can y’all take two seconds to check for effective alt text before boosting? Use the handy copy/paste text from image most phones have to make alt text?

So last night was my first time watching a movie in MX4D (the other motion seating movies I’ve been to have been DBOX) Basically I’ve come to the conclusion that experiential gimmicks >>>>>> branded popcorn buckets

Heads up, writer friends. For the second time I received a cute email from an 11 year old asking if I'd read their short story and give feedback. Story Not an attachment but a link. Be safe. Delete. Do not respond. Emails virtually identical but for boy/girl name.

As an aside: if you need to mute certain terms and not read certain screencaps going around for the sake of your mental health, you are absolutely 100% in your rights to do so. I hope everyone takes steps to look after their mental health right now

It’s kind of funny how (because of the pivot to video bullshit) so many podcasts have just become “talk shows where now everyone has to hold their own mic”

Yes Elle Fanning did great, AND I need to see a lot more folks talking about Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi

Friendly reminder! If you’re looking for an alternative to Audible, @libro.fm is great! You can do a similarly monthly subscription while supporting an indie bookstore of your choice! My referral link is below! #booksky libro.fm/referral?rf_...

Current thought process: I should finally watch all the alien movies and revisit the ones I haven’t seen since forever/finally cross some others off my list ORRRRRRRR I could watch all the Predator movies again 👀

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.
