I saw Hokum, and I love how every Damian McCarthy movie is, like, "Could a depressed person do THIS?" and "this" is always just "survive a ghost story," and it works for me every time.

Children of Time is a great DS9 episode but the best part is when the crew are all arguing about whether or not they should escape the planet and condemn 8000 villagers to never exist and O'Brien straight up calls Worf a deadbeat dad.

“racist streamer chud the builder” is my new “cellar door”

Strange situation honestly where Mospeada and Macross II are streaming (the latter on DisneyPlus, at least in my market) but SDF Macross is not. So it goes

accidentally ended up on habsburg youtube

Seated in the Stella Rathmines to see a David Lean movie. So I’ll be gone most of the day I guess.

there’s also a duck booklet with equally excellent illustrations

I don't think anyone's ever so successfully evoked an alien culture as Babylon 5 has by making it seem like Penn and Teller are funny

Imagine my pleasant surprise in starting up Widow's Bay and realizing it's an honest to god monster of the week show. TV really is back

Best utility actor of the 21st century? This guy.

infantile take

What's gutting about this is that Juniper seems to have had a family who supported and loved her, she was in a community that has been explicitly welcoming to trans people, and a man still murdered her. She was living the life so many trans people can only dream of, and it simply didn't matter.

Widow’s Bay is so good man, I can’t believe “Parks & Rec but make it Lovecraft” is a real show and not something I fantasized about using unlimited money to make

Scrolled past this on Reddit and did an abrupt stop, pause, and scroll back up like a cartoon

‘coloniser mindset’ is a bang on assessment. there's a cohort in Irish society that fully understands our history with landlordism but embraces all its worst aspects. is it unprocessed shame or are they just awful people, who knows

Grown-up Buffy Summers visiting Ireland, finding out they sell cheap Claddagh rings for like €5 on Grafton Street, and realizing her high school boyfriend maybe wasn't as magically romantic as she thought

I can't get over I only found out about this a few weeks ago and now it could get a statue lol Fun fact they called his illness "Cork Fever" which is just what Cork people suffer when they leave Cork

He was in Wayward Pines! Kind of a M. Night Shyamalan does Twin Peaks show (not as interesting as it sounds.)

Camp Miasma playing at Cannes feels like a victory for every single trans person working in the film industry. That's how it feels to me. I am so happy for Jane & I hope it playing there opens up more doors for trans artists in the future. Here's to more films made by trans people playing at Cannes!

We need to dump tylenol in the water supply immediately so the whole internet is just this

It's a cold world out there

[contemplative Trump] Peloponnesian. They don't say that word any more. Peloponnesian. The battle of Aegospotami!

my favorite genre of international dialogue

I'd wager most Irish people wouldn't realise this. We've been painting an exaggerated picture of how progressive the country is for outside consumption for so long there's a danger of getting high on our own supply.

Spotted on Tumblr…

During Repeal canvassing, I personally found the 3 day wait time etc didn’t come up as being a reason people voted yes. It was a vote for autonomy, genuinely. The demographic this is supposed to appeal to wouldn’t ever vote for abortion provision no matter way “safeguards” are put in

A really poor take from the Indo and Mary Regan. Passive voice is strong here: "he finds himself at the centre of a racism row" How about he finds himself making blatantly racist and islamophobic comments... #SpeirGorm

Sure, why not. Actually wasn’t sure if the last season was the Last season or not and made my peace with that

My two cents on the Bluesky discourse du jour is: did it happen. The premise is the left decamped Twitter to be here but did it? Like whether you personally or your friends are there, there’s still a Left presence on Twitter. That thing didn’t - strictly speaking - happen.

Sinn Féin now rebranding as We Ourselves And Tough Luck The Rest Of Ye, presumably.

Taxi drivers in Berlin, 1931 — by Henri Cartier Bresson

She’s so good on Widow’s Bay now though. Latest episode was a tour de force for her.

A piece on filler discourse that uses the term correctly and analyses examples of the form. Finally

I do the liner notes for the incredible new two disc release of the complete “SMOG” (1962) soundtrack featuring never unleashed tunes from Chet Baker & Piero Umiliani camsugarmusic.com/products/smo...
