Matinee of NO PICNIC at Film Forum

Like gender, there are multiple ways to define "mother," they are all valid, and not everyone shares the same familial experience 💖

WHISTLE isn't a great horror movie, & its mid-ness is exacerbated by the director's need to drop in showy fan Easter eggs name-checking directors he likes. It's a problem when you remind viewers in your own movie that Andy Muschietti and Paul Verhoven are far better at directing than you are.

Thinking of this over Mother's Day weekend for some reason

In the case of ChatGPT, it's like a cloud of the aggregate farts of the most boring people in the world. It's like a student paper that starts by defining some key term by looking in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary to find out what love is, instead of defining it from a particular interesting […]

Ok this is amazing

In the thunderdome match of Here Is My Take™ memes, everyone loses

If Meta isn't dying why aren't you posting these fee-fees over there?

Still mad about how badly this film bungled its high concept. Why bother setting up two Vince Vaughns via classic time paradox if they don't 1) pretend they're twins 2) impersonate each other 3) have a heart-to-heart therapy convo w/one another 4) make out with each other

My #LastFourWatched films Jack Reacher (2012) 2046 (2004) Resurrection aka "狂野时代" (2025) Crime of Passion (1956) #filmsky #letterboxd #LetterboxdFriday

Most days, "I told you so" posts are my least favorite genre of Bsky

Yup. Your job as regular person is not to parse whether particular policies are 'realistic' or 'possible.' You are supposed to actually demand what you need to live a dignified life.

Hey I forgot to tell everyone but I’m going to be playing guitar at this extremely cool event tonight hosted by the inimitable @ugarles.bsky.social alongside all these great folks! Come here as I play and sing all your favorites*! * = 2 or 3 of your favorites, I only have 7 minutes

Happened across a NYC Union Square pop-up art installation of a vending machine distributing free DVD compilations documenting every mention of Elon Musk in The Files™

Fun NYC facts: Cumming Street + Seaman Avenue are streets in Inwood, they intersect each other, & I used to live in a apartment at this Cumming/Seaman nexus

And how is there not a trans drag queen/king named Shitpost yet

How has a terminally online trans writer not yet released their book called "Shitpost: A Novel"

Anyone in NYC familiar with the 1 train know why weekday trains have been stopping at 137th St with the doors open for a while before progressing? No announcements, no track work. It's happened three days this week.

Writing on my phone is my worst nightmare. It would take me decades to *text* a novel into my phone and most of that time would be backspacing typos

The problem i have with AI in the college system SLOP CAN’T TEACH

Great scott this game looks a m a z i n g

They should rename Star Wars & Marvel movies like they're Friends episodes. "The One Where They Blow Up the Death Star" "The One With All the Iron Man Suits In It" "The One That's Like Back to the Future 2" "The One Where They Blow Up the Death Star (Again)"

Yes, it sucks that it's like the Hunger Games and Bezos wanted to buy some class and taste by putting his name on it this year, but it's a necessary evil for an important historical archive

Okay folks, because this happens every year: 1. The Met Gala funds the Costume Institute which does not receive any of the money the Met Museum gets from tickets or money from the general donation pool to the Met.

LUCAS: and this guy is named Greedo- DEPALMA: Greedo? lmao is his partner named Sleazo? SCORSESE: c'mon Brian DEPALMA: fuck off Marty, I saw you giggle when they said Jabber the House MILIUS: not enough chicks COPPOLA (totally zooted): wtf is this nerd shit LUCAS (crying): *writes down Sleazo*

As an asst I find the aggregate of diplomatic emails I send to (thirsty, sweaty) folks saying "no" to their requests ticks up my anxiety levels. Whether "no" emails for cool-sounding things or not, they all take focus & time to write, & w/very low "yes" rates I sometimes procrastinate writing 'em

I am loath to do this, but I need your help. My 20+ year marriage has unexpectedly imploded. There's a kid involved. Aside from Lupus, Autism and a shitty 2009 Mazda, I have nothing. Things are fairly desperate right now, so if you can help out now in any way at all I'd be really grateful ❤️

• CEO of Enzyte, Steve Warshak, got 25 years • Sentence reduced to 10 yrs & he got out in 2015 • Now lives in Cincy in a $1.2 million dollar mansion • Guy who played Smiling Bob: Canadian actor Andrew Olcott • Steve Warshak also invented Fatheads (those life-sized cutouts of famous athletes)

This Audrey Hepburn portrait always reminds me of the ending to SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS (1957) when Suzie Hunsecker (Susan Harrison) leaves the Brill Building to start a life without her villainous brother J.J. (Burt Lancaster)

One of a myriad of reasons to avoid DateSky: the non-zero chance that this dude is poly and you'd be jump-scared continuously by seeing his profile pic in the dating pool

Rewatched this over the weekend. An incandescent Big Ideas film about film that is moving and sad (complimentary). Also very rewarding in repeat screenings.

The new Matthew Rhys-starring show WIDOW'S BAY is excellent, and a niche but dead solid perfect description of it for a small swath of people, like me, is "what if the Brindlewood Bay TTRPG was an Apple TV series?"

If we still went by job titles we held 30 years ago like "Mayor Guiliani" did in his bullshit press release I'd be "Assistant Manager at Mad Mike's Supervideo" for the rest of my life

They make a perfect bfast pork roll w/Taylor Ham at Court Street Grocers w/locations near Washington Square, the L-stop at Lorimer Street, & Carroll Gardens. Their sandwich game is superlative and eating there makes you feel like you found an undiscovered gem in the city www.courtstreetgrocers.com

Slightly diminish a book The Okay Gatsby

At a rooftop party in Bklyn and the apartment owner has a DEMOLITION MAN reference in his bathroom 🙌

Why does Discord always have 8+ update downloads each time I log back in (browser), and why does my computer nope out of opening Discord + new updates multiple times before actually opening

I know one of the other candidates in this race likes to wear a lot of union logos, but don't be fooled, he's new to this game and isn't actually a member. I'm proud to be joining my union siblings this evening down in Portland as we fight for a fair contract for state employees. /end

Let's be clear, I am the ONLY candidate in this U.S. Senate race who is an elected union leader. I'm in my second term as chapter president with MSEA-SEIU Local 1989 where I represent adjunct professors at all of Maine's community colleges and before that, I was a dues-paying member for years. 2/

Substack is an inherently pro-individual, anti-community, anti-new-writer technology and is responsible for the death of so many excellent small literary venues.

I now also have some upper respiratory illness. I’m $350 short on rent which is due on Friday. I’d mainly love sales and subscriptions, I’ve been releasing so much new content!! Failing that, I’d deeply appreciate Mutual Aid to make rent. Thank you all 🖤💕 roxierusalka.com @/$ RoxieRusalka

Tribute bands for Mr. Mister move fast and take these broken wings

Tribute bands for The Police move fast and fake Stings

Sounds like Andy Serkis's version of Animal Farm was focus grouped entirely by Blue No Matter Whovian bsky

Andy Serkis's ANIMAL FARM would have signed the Harper's Letter

In my game groups everyone can tell when I love a game because I'll stand up early and often, versus being seated the whole time if it's a game I dislike
