This is a politician who understands that this is not an indulgence, it's an investment. Every public space where you can have fun and not spend any money is probably more of a crimebuster than 100 cops.

when the cdc didn't care and the federal government attacked them, remember that taco bell stood with the people

Terminator 2 on VHS. I was probably about 11 or 12 and this was especially daring because my parents would not under any circumstances have allowed me to watch this as even PG-13 stuff at that age was forbidden. So naturally I just watched it when I spent the night at my friend's house.

More local businesses around here are using AI slop for their restaurants promo posters and menus, which really sucks because I try to support local eateries as much as possible but this *really* makes me want to stay away. And that's even ignoring that the AI slop food looks like alien poop.

The Luddites' actual argument was that automated looms meant expensive, skilled workers were being replaced with literal children, who were then getting maimed and killed, and maybe this is bad.

I want to get ahead of this speech tomorrow. You are going to hear a lot of cries of the sky falling. Remember: the President of the United States does not control elections. States and localities do, and even if you say "he has the military," there aren't enough in the 48 states to make a dent.

i successfully argued for Doom to be among the 25 most influential works of American art.

Went to my favorite barbecue joint today and saw they were serving beef hot dogs. That's brisket chili on one of them and it's by far the best hot dog chili I've ever had had oh my god

20 years later after its theatrical release, Michael Mann’s Miami Vice still deserves its accolade as a masterwork (currently streaming on Amazon Prime). Here’s a great appreciation of it that @bilgeebiri.bsky.social wrote for @vulture.com back in 2021: www.vulture.com/2021/10/miam...

John Carpenter has released a statement on the passing of Sam Neill: "The world has lost a remarkable actor, father, farmer, and friend. Thank you, Sam, for your extraordinary work, kindness, and the memories."

Rewatching Raimi’s SPIDER-MAN and while it’s supposed to be a comic-book conceit that a scientific industrialist would experiment on himself, Elon Musk would absolutely drink the goblin juice.

So hey now that the trailer is actually out, I should talk about The Incomer, which I saw during Sundance, and is quietly one of the best films of the year. Go read.

Show me a comic book page you love. No explanation needed.

I'm gonna get real annoying about how much ass this movie kicks when this disc comes out next month.

Calling the RFK Jr diarrhea strain “MAHA Blast” since it has now evidently infiltrated Taco Bell

Carol Burnett being best friends with Julie Andrews is one of those things that i didn't know was a thing, but it just feels absolutely obvious and perfect. And now I'm thinking about how incredible it would have been to have gotten a buddy comedy starring those two back in their prime.

A report on the ground from the ICE shooting in Biddeford that should make every parent in this country lose their minds:

Absolutely no one in the history of the job has enjoyed being mayor more than this guy

Sam improvs in a take where he talks directly to my mate, where it only makes sense for him to respond. Sam pushes for this to stay in, such that my friend gets to keep the money/credit associated with having dialogue. Folks, we lost a good one.

My random Sam Neil story. An actor friend of mine was cast in a small role on Peaky Blinders. Never receives his script pages. Discovers his role has been pushed to non speaking background, which is less fun/less money. Sam Neil spots him looking dejected on set and finds out.

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

What a great picture—a reminder that every piece of art you love was scraped, cobbled, and kit-bashed into existence by creative rebels who thought outside the box.

i’m sorry but ‘literally died of hard heartedness’ is the most hack writing yet in an already weak season

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

Funniest possible breaking news banner on this amazing headline from a few months ago

he actually did the meme

Liberals will tell you that shaming fascists somehow prevents the authentic dialogue that would make them change. Meanwhile, fascists themselves say that one of the things that most discourages them from carrying on as fascists is feeling the utter contempt and revulsion of everyday people.

I did the research for and wrote a 20 page, semester-defining paper for my senior year journalism school final the night before and made an A-

I'll keep saying it: Ford's work on Shrinking feels like the culmination of everything he has ever tried to say, do and be as an actor. He's gruff, he's funny, he's dramatic, he's tender, he's thoughtful. He's poured so much of himself into the role and it shows in every frame.

back when the west wing didn't hurt so much to watch, people didn't openly wish for jed bartlet as the irl president for his policies. they saw his character and said "that's who i want making the hard calls". he was a good person, just fictional. but not all good people are fictional.
