Flabbergasted by people saying Daredevil: Born Again is brilliant storytelling. It’s so obviously, objectively NOT? It’s riddled with structural issues, obfuscated narrative points, weird nonsensical ‘character’ beats. Hey it’s REALLY GOOD! I like it a lot! But it’s not peak anything.

we've moved from "shooting yourself in the dick" to "pouring lemon juice into the hole you shot in your dick"

hour 4 of @marzgurl.com's Vic video has been a crazy watch so far. MAJOR blast from the past as a 2000's anime fan but in a terrible way bc i too was one of those girls watching panel videos. had i lived in a major US city growing that hosted anime cons, so much of this could have happened to me Dx

It’s not ‘feminine rage’. It’s just rage. You are allowed to be angry, without qualification or diminishment. Your wrath is allowed not to have a cute name or productive purpose. We have always BEEN the Furies. Be furious.

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

@yrfatfriend.bsky.social I just got an audio book of You Just Need To Lose Weight and you are an INCREDIBLE narrator.

I don't have a lot of experience making focaccia, but this looks fairly encouraging. 🍽️🍜🍞

The human circulatory system, before and after proper cable management.

One of my absolute pet peeves, people disingenuously acting like a jargony phrase used in, for example, an academic context, is an example of how Democrats/liberals/progressives/the left are broadly-speaking “out of touch”

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Assertions of cis male physical dominance being absolute and inevitable (which is JUST NOT TRUE, you can’t compare the top of one bell curve with all of another bell curve) is what THE PATRIARCHY WANTS FROM YOU. Because it makes anyone not a cis man feel like there’s no point in resisting.

If you aren't watching the return of Artemis II, I completely understand. I'm watching, but I'm nervous about the heatshield. On Artemis I, it had problems, so they made changes to the flight path, but it's the same heat shield. I won't feel secure until they are on the ground.

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide. Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session. Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

I think people are allowed to draw conclusions about the American people based on their decision to put this man in office bsky.app/profile/pear...

The guest on a movie podcast I love opened up by trashing The Last Jedi and I have no interest in hearing an old white man with those opinions talk about art. First time in nearly a decade I scrubbed the show to the end without listening.

This article is fantastic and horrifying deadline.com/2026/04/jona...

Hard to overstate how obvious this was in Minneapolis. They'd roll around the neighborhood in full gear, doing nothing immigration-related at all, wait for angry crowds to gather, and then attack them with tear gas and pepper spray! It was a violent siege and the feds owe us billions in reparations.

Whelp, did something I haven’t done in a bit…submitted a short story.

Andy Weir went on a far right misogynist bigot’s stream (Critical Drinker) to smear new Star Trek. I fucking KNEW that hack was a POS. Welp I thankfully don’t have to see that fucking movie now.

The Mexico Noir series that I curated for VIFF opened Thursday & I was there to give a chat. We began with "La Otra" and will be screening 15 classic films from Mexico's Golden Age. Mexico Noir runs in Vancouver until April 9. Experience classic noir on the big screen: viff.org/series/mexic...

maybe my favorite thing on the internet: neal.fun/deep-sea/

Daredevil Born Again thoughts, from my own particular hyper fixations: Chris Brewster is no longer Cox’s stunt double and it shows. There is a chaotic incoherence to some of the smaller fights that I think comes from neither of the new doubles being as physically competent as Brewster.

I find ‘deconstructions’ of the superhero genre either unutterably boring or intensely mean spirited (on the level of pulling the wings off of flies)? Because no one needs an answer to the question ‘but what if powerful people were bad’? They would do terrible things. They already do. 1/3

Daredevil: Born Again thoughts It’s always nice to see Matt happy being Daredevil. Also guaranteed Matt fucks like a rockstar, with those heightened senses. And Hamish Allan-Headley was literally born to play ‘violent corrupt cop’.

These people are in severe psychosis and we’re letting them run things.

Make no mistake, they are coming for contraception. They can't restrict it through the courts (yet), so they'll do it through administrative fuckery. Millions set to lose access to STI screenings and contraception as Title X funding falls through: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"My Nazi tattoo wasn't a Nazi tattoo & it was silly for anyone to call it a Nazi tattoo & I've never heard anything so ridiculous & by the way have you seen my favorite movie which features Nazis sporting an insignia that looks like my tattoo which is definitely not a Nazi tattoo?" is... something.

All of those cackling, pontificating, devil-horned, skeleton-masked, fortress-dwelling megalomaniac cartoon villains of our youth were very subtle allegories, as it turns out.

hey remember when Sean Penn kidnapped Madonna, held her captive, bound and gagged her, and beat the shit out her?

Watched ‘War Machine’. Antagonist design is good. Cast is excellent. It’s carried on the cast—Ritchson has charisma leaking out of his ears. 1/3

missed yesterday’s so I’m doing two at once and they’re really fucking dark. 42yo Honduran dad dies of what ICE calls liver failure due to alcoholism (family calls bullshit). 39yo DACA kid from Mexico dies of sudden illness, mom says no prior health probs & explicitly calls it “medical negligence”

President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Homeland Security is facing heavy scrutiny after a report revealed he made thousands of dollars trading stocks tied to military action overseas.

If you’re not born in a cis male body you are actively, intentionally, universally prevented from learning how to do basic things. Mostly physical things but it varies by region and culture. Then, when you are an adult you are VICIOUSLY mocked if you don’t know how to do basic things.

I remain convinced that the whole “dirtbag left” and “Bernie bro” phenomenon was basically a way to sell right wing politics with a superficially left/alternative “vibe”

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

the entire "DNC fucked Bernie over" theory rests on them cancelling a Saturday night debate where 50,000 people might have seen how awesome he is, even though the last time he was on a debate stage he fumbled away the entire nomination by saying we should be more like Cuba
