so uh, the ending to NO COUNTRY isn’t ambiguous?

One thing that rankles with me - slightly - about nepo baby discourse, is that seemingly 90% of successful actors in the UK have a massive structural advantage simply from being born rich. To obsess over the 1% who also have famous parents as if THAT'S the problem, misses the forest for the trees.

Whatever spin you may hear from politicians, there are only two actual positions on healthcare. “Universal healthcare that covers everybody,” or “we must protect the huge industry of insurance middlemen making money off of it.”

Fallon: And do you use ChatGPT when wiping your ass? Altman: I cannot imagine wiping my ass without ChatGPT. Fallon: *rocks with laughter for 87 seconds*

What’s that saying, hit dog holler

People are asking a lot of questions about my mental and physical health that are already answered by my extended public rant about my physical and mental health.

The adventures of Robert Policeman continue as we cover Robocop 2. Lot of good and bad in this one, but you can't say it's boring. open.spotify.com/episode/62Bz...

Do not pay for that Discord, here's your cyber security career success kit

how is this surprising if you've ever read a history book

JFC wish people would stop saying THE HUNGER GAMES ripped off BATTLE ROYALE. (Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian, parroting Quentin Tarantino, being the latest offender.) Might as well say it ripped off THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME; DEATH RACE 2000; ROLLERBALL; THE RUNNING MAN; THE 10th VICTIM tbc

If you live in Illinois District 9, there is only one choice

Me and @themattfowler.bsky.social joke about this every time a prompt of this sort goes around. If you grew up as a movie-loving kid in the 70s-90s, you can probably pretty quickly name a couple hundred movies that you’ve seen more than six times each - and then keep going. I know I sure could.

it's 2025 and the gangly guy who appeared on a few seasons of The Office is now our only mirror to society

We are just in time to celebrate the birthday of Peter Kropotkin—the geographer, author, and anarchist revolutionary widely known for helping to popularize the concept of mutual aid—with this account detailing his narrow escape from a St. Petersburg prison. crimethinc.com/KropotkinBre... 🏴

Someone needs to report him to Social Services.

One of the Kansas City Public Library branches even has a seed library where you can get native/local seeds and seedlings for free with your library card! It's just another wonder of public libraries. Use them. Love them.

Are you looking for a stack of genre-convention defying Premee-ium speculative fiction? Look no further! Come get @premeemohamed.com 's military Pteranodons, REALLY messed up co-dependent friendships, searingly prescient examinations of war and pacifism, eldritch cosmic horrors and SO much more!

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

holy what??? Robert & Michelle King are creating a show about a female journalist at the Vatican, sounds like if Conclave was also a media version of The Good Wife? Was this show made in a lab for me @clairewillett.bsky.social & @emilynussbaum.bsky.social specifically?? deadline.com/2025/12/robe...

I...just.

If the Kings cast Alan Cumming as a bitchy cardinal or Pope on their new Vatican show, I will simply expire of happiness

Cumming as scheming cardinal, Wallace Shawn as pope

The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar

sex workers have long been OGs in mutual aid & community care so this is not at all surprising

The Thing (1982, John Carpenter)

also always deeply funny that every sci-fi video game from 1999-2014 was trying to be Aliens, and copied everything except the...working class woman protagonist

Why are there FIVE car washes around me? Maybe because private equity loves them. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint

This "comedy" category is sending me. Do most of these movies have funny parts? Sure. Are they largely devastating? Yes. The Naked Gun robbed.

lol that this thumbnail of Van Der Beek as a raging sociopath is just giving median Dawson

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

The only way Bonds gets in is if they acknowledge on the plaque he was two different players: an unquestionable Hall of Famer before, a cartoon character after. You could swing some votes with that. But the league is never going to allow that, and Jane Forbes Clark chooses the committees.

I really wanted to pitch a movie or series based on Game of Shadows, the BALCO scandal book. My agent said, 'Great idea. Ron Shelton's done it.' Oh no. 'And Major League Baseball refused to let him use trademarks & archive footage.' That's where the league is on Barry Bonds.

this is fascinating bc the supposed hook is "I was raised in a tech-skeptical commune, yet AI helped me work through my problems" when it's actually "I was raised in a cult and responded to a form of AI emotional manipulation that treated me like a cult leader"

I can't believe Kiss and Stallone showed up for their Kennedy Center honors wearing rubber masks. Welcome to the resistance!

Sensei sergio is, among many other things, an adherent of bugs bunny thought

Is this... not a communist gaming conference?
