David Byrne is 73, you arse

Without Autism we never would have gotten Stop Making Sense, so maybe ya'll should shut the fuck up.

The answer to "there's too much sex in tv and movies" is "please list examples so I may review them"

What are all these movies they are watching with sex scenes? In my household we want to set off fireworks whenever a movie dares to be horny. Also, I truly hate the argument about how "sex scenes don't add to the plot." Plot shouldn't be the only thing movies care about. That's boring as hell.

It’s a real mixed bag of cursed assholes and people I previously like who can now go fuck themselves. This has the be the most cursed double headliner in awhile:

We love seeing “truth tellers” taking those paychecks from the Saudi government: www.visitsaudi.com/en/seasons/r...

It doesn’t matter what the job is. If you give your full time labor to work, you should be paid enough to afford a decent life and build toward a better future.

If you are saying “we need to cure autism” you are promoting eugenics. It’s that simple.

I swear to fuck if y’all don’t start saying BEING AUTISTIC IS OK instead of “this isn’t the cause so leave it alone and keep looking”

Seems like something the “let’s arrest the parents of truant high school students” lady would say.

No amount of better messaging, being nicer on social media, or having modest political goals was ever going to work to stop this backlash because the world's richest and most powerful people have all decided they don't want us to exist. How do you even fight blatant lies like this?

Just a reminder that these "pivotal votes" that the Democrats got in these recent special elections aren't pickups. They are pivotal seats that have been vacant for months because the Democrats who previously held them ran for office notwithstanding age and cancer diagnoses, then died in office.

“Last time they bribed me”

LET’S GO METS

The government knowingly putting false information in the label of a drug is crossing a Rubicon that should not be taken lightly

Media outlets are going to “both sides” us into oblivion.

Man, Howie Rose is going to be popping off tonight!

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

All your media is state run

I just finished @planetx.bsky.social 's Galaxy: The Prettiest Star A joyous and emotionally honest comic that I loved every page of. I can't recommend it enough. Already got her Hawkgirl book from the library and excited to read more!

If he had lived longer, Fosse would have gone down as one of our greatest filmmakers.

I can't express this enough. This administration's goal is to kill as many of us as possible in order to further shape the country to fit their needs and hate. Sick? Poor? Disabled? A member of a marginalized group? They want you dead and/or subservient.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

like i was saying

Imagine trying to cancel GWAR

This is eugenics. This is fucking eugenics and the media just lets him spew this shit.

shit ain’t over til it’s over

I simply would not want to be caught publicly partying with Disney right now.

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

I get it. I spent a large chunk of my life being defined by my fandoms. People, and the world at large are more important than pop culture. If Star Wars or Harry Potter is more important to you than all these things, you really need to do some reflecting. Other things matter more.

Everyone is going to make their own decision on this, of course. But realize that you are, in fact, making a decision by promoting Star Wars right now. If hearing that makes you uncomfortable, good. Sit with that discomfort and see where it leads you.

My friends are good people.

Disney is still enabling fascism today. you wanting to see your space show as a movie doesn’t change that.

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

Forever disturbed by the way the cops are at the beck and call of the most irritating white person you've ever met as an armed hall monitor

I think it’s pretty bold that James Gunn made Rick Flagg Sr a major part of his DCU, but also made him someone I want to see die a horrible death.

🤦‍♂️

What movie do you consider “perfect”?

Collapse or not, I still love my New York Metropolitans.

im old enough to remember when they formed a department of government efficiency to root out corruption

How is long Covid going today? Well, just added vanilla to the list of food allergies, which is now over 60 foods I used to eat daily. Don’t get long covid.

The most disgusting thing about @tomsuozzi.bsky.social is that his own staff has admitted that he signs onto shit that backs conservatives without even knowing what he’s signing. A coward and a moron.

Remember, remember, the 21st night of September

Saving this list for the next time I have a student ask why I say that Watergate was small potatoes compared to what goes on in an average week with this administration.

When I was a college journalist, I spent 90 minutes with Crispin Glover with what was supposed to be a 15 minute interview. He was incredibly kind, but also ate 3 full packages of Lifesavers in one sitting.

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare
