i love it when something is by dint of something else. i tell all my friends, don’t text me about shit unless it’s by dint of some other shit

"The fedora, angled just so, is his homage to French Resistance hero Jean Moulin." 🥹

character actors in Death By Lightning, ranked in order of recognizability with 1880s facial hair: 1. Nick Offerman (looks normal) 2. Shea Whigham (distinctive eyebrows) 3. Matthew Macfadyen (mannerisms) 4. Bradley Whitford (always acts like Bradley Whitford) 5. Michael Shannon (did not recognize)

Here's all ten of the movies we reviewed on this ep, btw. Speaking of Ben Whishaw, Claire made a VERY strong case to watch Peter Hujar's Day as soon as it comes out. Sounds amazing!!!

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Every year we get closer to this happening on the news

i've been saying he needs to play a vampire for about 20 years now

ben whishaw has never made a horror movie. the community must confront this issue with the utmost urgency.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

The lesson here is have good principles and stand on them. Stand for something that isn't power!

Zohran was polling at six percent in January. Nothing is impossible

man it's just so damn cool when the puppet shows up. GREAT way to emphasize the inhumanity of a vampire villain.

I keep thinking about Zohran on some podcast being like “these billionaires are spending more money to defeat me than I would tax them” lmfao

watching this election from afar, it's been wild to see mamdani repeat the same three basic municipal policies 50,000 times, while his opponents react with virulent hysteria to completely imaginary bullshit.

omg congrats nyc

Animals need to civilize. I should be able to pay a 10cc blood toll with sterile equipment when I enter the woods and then the ticks and mosquitoes should leave me alone

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

On Teen Vogue: It's an amazing publication full of talented journalists. It offers so much value. It's clear the monied interests in media aren't interested in preserving that value, especially if it threatens the status quo that undergirds their wealth. Capitalism and journalism are enemies.

Frustrating though entirely unsurprising that a young femme-focused magazine that has been doing banger work in reporting on crucial issues is being gutted by the politically grey Vogue. We need this reporting now more than ever, and I've said this far too many times in the last two years.

The systematic dismantling of journalism as a profession by corporate interests is one of the most important political trends in the past couple of decades.

recorded our GDT Frankenstein podcast today, absolutely disgorging 1,000 thoughts and feelings

so beautiful... the pens just lost a game, then the winning goal was disallowed so it went to a shoot-out, THEN a bunch of players started a brawl for no apparent reason, and the pens proceeded to lose the same game for a second time. 🙏

this is such an advanced form of delusional racism because you REALLY have to make an effort to misunderstand what Mamdani means. sooooo many people and cultures use aunt/uncle as a catch-all term for older relatives and close neighbours.

hang out on the nazi site for nazis and you start to not see all the fucking nazis delete your twitter account

experiencing the new Tron movie as it was meant to be appreciated (adding the lead single from the NIN soundtrack album to my workout playlist)

Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.

If Labour is continuing to lose votes, just got 11% in a by-election in a seat they've held for 100 years and in a few recent polls is equal to or just behind the Greens maybe we should stop suggesting they're the only thing that can defeat Reform.

mfs be like "how do you expect to get men onto the left if you are constantly demonizing things which are universally loved by all men" and the thing in question is hitler

At first glance I misinterpreted the things hanging down from the sauce bottles and had already formulated the pun by the time I realised my mistake, so here it is anyway: CONDOMENTS

Running for office and revealing a giant back tattoo that just says WOMEN. Nobody can agree if it's good or bad

had a great time guesting on this Star Trek podcast, chatting about the eternal popularity of Spirk, and how Strange New Worlds is backtracking on queer representation.

My review of TALAMASCA, the new Interview with the Vampire spinoff that supposedly takes cues from John le Carré (!), but is more like a dull CBS crime procedural. Thumbs down, I'm afraid! www.tvguide.com/news/talamas...

v funny studio response in the context of "somehow, palpatine returned"

one of many films Claire and I reviewed for our upcoming London Film Festival overinvested ep!!

One of my least rational beliefs is that if you pull off a heist without hurting anyone or getting caught within a day, that's your stuff fair and square.

okay the alexander skarsgard bdsm romcom Pillion is SO fun

France's Interior Minister, Laurent Nuñez, called the heist "a major, highly organized operation" that lasted just seven minutes. Authorities were still drawing up the value of the stolen items. n.pr/4o9JbkU

One good reason to block this is because some contingent of people are going to be repeatedly reposting this account to argue with it. The nuclear block is your friend. It fights for freedom

For Halloween season, I've put together a Letterboxd list of EVERY HORROR MOVIE we've reviewed on Overinvested! Click through for links to episodes and show notes. letterboxd.com/hellotailor/...

Fact-checking should be legally required for all nonfiction books and publishers should pay for it

this is great, of course, for lots of reasons (Kevin rules, Scott rules, etc.), one of which was how cool it was for me (a person with a disability) to see the way PTA and the production crew made accommodations for things in a way that was simple and supportive and from a place of genuine care

man, jacob elordi's frankenstein's monster is gonna be such a good character for slightly peculiar tweens to develop a crush on. really tapping into that tragic beautiful anime boy vibe.

we will OF COURSE be reviewing Frankenstein on Overinvested, following next week's episode of reviews & recs from the London Film Festival.

GDT's Frankenstein, a film that will have many more people googling "jacob elordi height." and indeed "oscar isaac height."
