Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

I came into The Long Walk as it was already on screen. Based off the rest of the movie I’m assuming I missed a lengthy scene where the characters trade discuss their socks/choice of shoes. Me? I’m bringing Keens with some thick wool boys on that walk. Spoilers: The kid in Chucks didn’t make it.

My fiancee thinks I can be too fatalistic about things, but who cares we’re all gonna die…

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

I hate it here.

I’m no @legaleagle.tv , but if I’m the company who makes Tylenol, I’d be calling my lawyers right about now.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Seth Meyers right now:

As a kid I never would have expected that the fate of America’s free democracy would so heavily involve not one but TWO hosts of The Man Show.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

SISKEL & EBERT, which premiered #OTD in 1986, had a master class of an opening sequence. Thirty-five seconds, 21 shots, and a flawless establishment of the professional rivalry of two Chicago newspapermen who inspired a generation of film buffs. #FilmSky #TVSky

Can’t wait to see The Newsroom episode about all this.

Ebike round two courtesy of the folks at Upway Cycles. No one steal this one please and thank you.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

“The new @lindsayellis.bsky.social video has everything: Analysis of pre-K children’s entertainment, doomsday cults, digressions about Andrew Lloyd Webber, Rwandan genocide—“

Just watched Zach Creggor’s opus. Also I saw Weapons.

civilization vi leader two turns before you destroy his lone attacking trebuchet unit with a missile cruiser

The White House walls right now:

I just watched a man eat a pickle… with a knife and fork. Do I call the police?

Every movie wherein Stephen Root played a blind man was nominated for multiple Oscars. No one has yet to take advantage of this statistical certainty.

Should we be concerned about LLMs being trained with the Necronomicon?

Y-you- you’re thinking about this all wrong, as if I had the Epstein files back in a safe. The Epstein files aren’t here — the Epstein files are in Joe’s house, and Mrs. Menklin’s house, and a hundred others

What a biker actually hitting a pedestrian looks like

If people are mad that Superman (2025) is vaguely an immigrant allegory, they’re gonna be furious when they watch the Coneheads movie.

I need somebody at NBC/SNL to upload the full Michael McDonald’s McDonald’s sketch.

Reading @benmckenzie.bsky.social ‘s book Easy Money. Enjoying it so far but I’m shocked that, when having to describe how Ponzi schemes work, he doesn’t mention the cautionary tale of Jimmy Cooper.

Feeling more and more like this guy every day.

Just got out of a 35mm screening of The Commitments at The Academy Museum. Apparently it’s only available print in the US. Great flick. Loved hearing the writers and sound recordist talk before the show. Stuff like this is why I stay in LA despite, you know, everything else.

STOLEN BIKE ALERT - Blue Lectric XP Lite 2.0. Stolen at 3pm from the Whole Foods in Culver City, CA. Still waiting on the serial number and any security cam footage but this is a recent photo showing off the accessories the bike had as of today.

How it started; how it’s going. #BikeLA #Cycling #AssholeStoleMyGoddamnEbike

Every car racing movie that’s not Speed Racer should end with the government arriving and declaring auto racing stupid and illegal. (Yes, I just saw F1)

tfw you've just stripped healthcare from 17 million Americans and ensured the closure of rural hospitals

In all the Zohran discourse no one is talking about the real danger he poses: Which is that SNL is DEFINITELY going to have Lin Manuel Miranda play him next season when they should be letting the new cast shine instead of resorting to cheap stunt casting.

OK, so here’s my JJ Abrams story… Before I started working in digital restoration one of my primary jobs in post-production support was running the in-house theater and screening rooms at work. Every now and again it would get booked for casting sessions, because it was perfectly suited for that…

It would seem the saying is true. You don't mess with the Zohran.

They could never make me hate you, dreamy grainy digital aesthetics of 28 Days Later

Yeah, I’m a bit like Sarah Conner. (I’m having recurring dreams of nuclear explosions)

Just want to remind people that we had an agreement with Iran re: their nuclear program. It was done. Trump blew it up after the fact purely to spite Obama. Anyone who says this shit is about Iran having nukes is a liar.

28 Years Later and The Life of Chuck are two of my favorite movies of the year. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that both of them are about accepting the inevitability of death in a dying world.

Hey guys, you know that thing you hate? The thing that makes people dumber, provides bad advice, drains rivers and power grids, gets basic facts wrong, lies, and is built off the backs of stolen art and research? Good news, we’re putting ads in it now!

It seems like the main product of SpaceX is providing a variety of explosion reference footage for the world’s VFX artists.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Me: I'm special, I'm talented, I can do anything I set my mind to! [Someone is mildly rude to me online.] Me: Well, shit. Time to quit everything, burn my possessions and go live in the forest...

*Mr Plinkett voice* How embarrassing…

If there’s one thing I know about politics, it’s that if POTUS wants these protests to stop he needs more Luxury Resources in his settlements. Don’t want riots in LA? Research Irrigation and develop those sugar tiles. Tired of marching in NY? Trade gold to Saladin to get furs. It’s. That. Simple.

Kristi Noem? More like Kristi No Ma’am, don’t do such things. Be a better person. (Got her).

I know this is not as egregious as people getting disappeared by ICE or sent to the hospital by the cops, but it’s worth mentioning that LAPD has essentially stranded hundreds of thousands of Angelenos by banning all Metro lines and busses from going through DTLA.

“If this is what we have to do to get proper bike lanes in LA…”

Go ahead. Try to occupy a city of 20 million people that’s actually dozens of wildly different cities smushed together over 500 square miles of sprawl. Even if you “take” DTLA that still leaves Hollywood, Culver City, Burbank, Van Nuys, Compton, Hawthorne, Watts, Venice, Long Beach, Bell…
