Tossed on my @vinsyn.bsky.social 4K disc of Stuart Gordon's From Beyond today, and having that film in that high of a resolution is a fucking endurance test. Insanely gorgeous in how disgusting it is, a wonderful transfer! #filmsky

Legitimately welding economic pain as a cudgel because he got his feelers hurt. What a sad, little man.

My goodness, I just loved del Toro's Frankenstein. Beautiful, haunting, great performances and wardrobe/set designing. One of the great marriages between director and material. All praise @realgdt.bsky.social, I wonder if his next film will also have to do with creation and form a trilogy. 👀

May we see these alleged documents? Maybe they have an explanation of how these folks managed to time travel.

New: The Pentagon confirms to CNN it will funnel $130M from an anonymous Trump “friend” toward military pay. Asked about the donor’s identity and any foreign or domestic entanglements, the WH referred questions to DoD. DoD then referred questions back to the WH www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

Some rickety Republican is bricked up at the thought of this rn.

Got nothing better to do?

The post below is incredibly dishonest. You don't need a graduate degree in statistics or survey analysis to see that the most common response to Mamdani is a lack of familiarity, *not* disfavor. In fact, he is viewed less unfavorably than Newsom, AOC, Harris or Schumer.

Best of the Worst: Halloween 2025

AHAHAHA

We've got a humdinger today. BLACK PHONE 2 director Scott Derrickson joins us to discuss a fistful of darkness. TAXI DRIVER, MANHUNTER, SE7EN, and... PADDINGTON 2? It's so much fun. Please listen. www.drewmcweeny.com/the-hip-pock...

Jeffries: "He's found time to demolish the East Wing in the most horrific way possible bc he wants to erect a ballroom so he can be celebrated like a king. He's found time for all of these different things, but somehow can't be bothered to find a dime to extend the ACA tax credits."

I saw Richard Linklater's Blue Moon last night (grateful it somehow made it to an AMC near me) and it was lovely, just gorgeous with another amazing Ethan Hawk performance at its core. It's a very small film, with some huge thoughts and dialogue in it. Worth seeing out! #filmsky

Why. The. Fuck. Is. It. "Very important" to the regime? The GOP for my entire life has stated they like small government, states rights, etc. and CONSISTENTLY go against what they promote. It drives me fucking wild.

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

the ballroom will never be built and he’ll just pocket whatever money he collects because he is a grifter first and foremost

I would love to know *why* they think Mamdani would be cheering, and I would love to know if their response would be anything other than just good ol' racism.

It's a growing sentiment, I think Bandido might be the best wrestler of the year so far. I say this as a fan who previously thought he was solid but nothing terribly special, but this year he has become a must-see performer. He's able to work with anyone and everyone well. #AEW

"who are you going to vote for?" is, imo, a very simple question that does not require a 30-second non-answer.

Again, these absolute fucking dweebs have to resort to AI to try and shape the world they view.

Absolutely, we have much bigger problems than the continued corruption of the sitting President, and the misuse (theft, really) of taxpayer money. Or how the President has filled every seat of the government with loyalists.

Dune was released on this day in 2021 ✨

Easy recommendation (well, I haven't "read" it but listened to the audiobook) to read, it's a blast.

Nazi tat affair useful because anyone doing bizarre prevarications atm re how its totally normal to have a Nazi tattoo, good actually, not a big deal that'd matter in an election, if anything its cringe you care, etc etc, has revealed you never need to take their politics opinions seriously again.

Hey, @jamellebouie.net, I'm curious if you have a take on something I've been thinking about the last few months. Why is Trump *their guy*? Why, of all Republican elected officials, is he the one seemingly intended to have unlimited power? I have some ideas, but I can't fit them all in here.

Today's newsletter is up and it's something different and very personal... www.drewmcweeny.com/running-away...

I don't think it's fair to hold a 30-year-old man responsible for intemperate things he said when he was a 28-year-old boy.

Hey, this has a deeper meaning. It will be used for decades to come.

I'm surely not the first person to make this connection, but with the latest AI video shared by Trump (the fourth or fifth I can think of), I finally get why the richest folks are so invested in generative AI. They have to use it to fulfill fantasies as they are some of the biggest losers.

Q: What do you have to say to farmers who feel that the deal is benefitting Argentina more than it is them? TRUMP: Look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don't know anything about it. You understand what that means? They are dying

Even if he did, which I'd bet is likelier than not, none of this is true. The Insurrection Act is not a declaration of martial law. It doesn't close the courts. It doesn't suspend habeas corpus. It means you can use the military to enforce federal laws, but the laws themselves remain the same.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

It's an @allelitewrestling.com PPV night, so it's gonna be a good one! #WrestleDream is upon us!

People gathered for pro-democracy protests across the country today.

Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

We need more of this, and from more people. Rolling your eyes as if to say "We all know how they are" (or worse, "Don't get distracted") has been a big strategic mistake. Democratic politicians have to meet the brutality of MAGA rhetoric with outrage--and then, when necessary, match it.

As if you can't worship a deity, you NEED to have a title.

hello, this comes out today. its maybe 30 minutes long and has a lot of behind the scenes type stuff. big thanks to zane and the crew. i will probably carry this one with me when its all over.. one of the best things ive done. 5pm normal time.

"The military has steadfastly said, we serve the Constitution, we will not carry out illegal orders. The orders to blow up those six boats, in my view and in the views of most legal scholars, are absolutely illegal. It is an extrajudicial killing." trib.al/QmE2G4U

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Did you see that Antifa terrorist attack him!?

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone. And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

JD Vance said today on the TPUSA podcast that these guys were “just a bunch of kids in a chat room.” bsky.app/profile/blue...

Trump wants to DOUBLE Argentina's bailout to $40 billion to save his political ally. Yet he is doing nothing to prevent 15 million Americans from losing their health care and 20 million from seeing a doubling in their premiums. Is this what Trump means by America first?

What could be worse than screaming at a Capitol police officer?

This ain't the dunk he thinks it is.
