Charlestown, Virginia Dec 2, 1859 I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.

In case you missed it, last week the wheel turned, the lady vanished, and we did a quick little Hitchcock reboot. Stay turned for next week, when we'll be headed to L.A. for a reboot of Point Break!

Predator: Badlands (2025)

In case you missed it, last week we figured out how to make Point Break even gayer than before, despite - or maybe because of - some wild tangents on the way there. Also don't forget to check out our new patreon, especially if you wanna pop in some ideas for Mega Man bosses!

It'd be easier to list action movies that AREN'T accidentally homo-erotic, but Point Break has got so much sauce it may actually be intentional. Let's turn that subtext into text on the latest episode of our podcast. Listen now!

Episode 29 - The Tiger, The Witch, and The Lore Globe ...the party discards their previous plan in favor of another that is far riskier. Will this new approach prove successful, or are these teens walking right into three simultaneous traps? binarybreak.libsyn.com/site/2...

And finally just the other day Episode 723 went live! It was another clip show but the magic of Christmas did some work to make it enjoyable. We'll be back with Super Samurai next week (this week on patreon!) so stay tuned! #MorphinGrid

Watching fully adult romantasy readers brigade a trans girl who was a little mean about the books they like as if she's a war criminal sure takes me back, man.

I Think Her Party Should Be Making Statements In Her Defense And The Greater Somali Community

Here's a sketch of sailor Jupiter as a fantasy knight I did: #sailormoon

VP JD Vance stood before a crowd and tried to falsify history, claiming Christians ended widespread mass child-sacrifice practices among Native Americans

when u got that ADHD

Hey if your last name is Graves and you discover a disease that’s not terminal maybe don’t name it after yourself

if you’re cold they’re cold let your demons in

If you're cold, they're cold. Bring creepy cemetery statues inside.

Sometimes it's good to just stop what you're doing and remind yourself that you live on a bonkers planet that occasionally shoots massive bolts of electricity from the sky. I mean, this is certifiably nuts. I think maybe we should all remind ourselves more often how amazingly crazy this world is.

We meet again motherfucker

UK politics is insane to me because every time I tune in even 1% to keep appraised of what's happening there the headlines are all like "GOVERNMENT MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO WATCH KISSING VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE TO PROTECT WOMEN AND GIRLS" and then in tiny font underneath "NHS budget cut by 75% next year"

Goodnight from The Hellbox pub, where the Plastered Outcasts society of authors are discussing the cursing of an errant publisher. Goodnight from Annabelle Nelmes, paying respect to Wivenstone’s Tree of Sorrows with generous apple brandy libation. Goodnight from Hookland.

Give us our roses while we're still alive.

Sailors & the ship's cat "Convoy", as he sleeps in a hammock on board HMS HERMIONE. The cat obtained his name because of the number of times he accompanied the ship on duty patrols. IWM (A 6410) www.iwm.org.uk/collections/...

Idk wtf the BlueSky algorithm wants to see, so here's a photo I took of my friend's cat standing on a ceramic hippo on a fireplace mantel. I give up.

Post something random or you'll have an awful December

It can feel as if the stones cast a spell of perpetuation upon the landscape. Archetypes of transmission and reception echoed into a manifesting modernity. This is fanciful, but it's also one of the ways the Long Neolithic works – it infects our imaginations. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

I wrote an essay of "girlboss" replacing "Mary Sue" and why I'm concerned. And Star Wars open.substack.com/pub/lindsaym...

I've been thinking for a while that I don't think I've seen many historical or fantasy works since middle school where "feminine" activities were treated as neutral. Just treating sewing and cooking like any other chore in a pre-industrial society that needed to be done.

Wanna call a fictional woman manly for occupying an archetype that is usually given to male characters and for not performing femininity the way you're comfortable with? Remind everyone "you don't HAVE to write them as masculine to make them Strong Female Characters."

The true story behind the "ostrich farm massacre" and how bad farmers got right wing media to convince the public that it was about government overreach when they were actually horrible people

and now for your umpteenth reminder that the best way to fight human trafficking is to support measures that ease poverty and promote affordable housing, not to go hunting for hidden coded messages on the internet

Remember 5 years ago when people thought there were coded messages in the Wayfair catalogue so elites could traffick children in giant cabinets? Anyway it turns out they just send emails like "hey it's me, your best buddy Pedophile Jeff, come do sex crimes at my house"

I was wondering who would choose the "ackschually that's an ephebophile" route

Great thread. And no, I'm not surprised Douthat was fine with it. Andor is men's liberalism. This show barely passed the Bechdel test, it does the most 90s cliche of killing off half the lesbian couple, and that consolation baby tripe.

I'm getting really pissed off (and more than a little worried) about the backlash to masculine/gnc fem characters. Or any fem character with a little agency. There's something really insidious about it cause the alt seems to be trad wives.

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal. www.the-independent.com/sport/olympi...

Goodnight from Lilly Weyburn, too afraid to find out what’s making moaning sounds in the apple cellar. Goodnight from Kitty Lansbury, wondering why the Victorian sampler hanging in her Nanna’s bedroom appears to have been copied from a grimoire. Goodnight from Hookland.

In honor of sandwich guy getting out of his legal pickle, here is the original video synced with Freedom - George Michael 1990.

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?

In fantastic news for medievalists, 'Perfume and Milk' from Florence + the Machine's new album Everybody Scream contains references to Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love, and allusions to the General Prology of the Canterbury Tales (as well as, I think, the opening of Fitt II of SGGK)

Golett baby 😍

Episode 28 - Leaving a Note Kat plays a song. Billy reads to Swiftmon. Robinmon comes out of her shell. binarybreak.libsyn.com/site/2...

"happy potter is just part of the culture now just accept-" no. fuck off. lots of things were "part of the culture" that just are fucking NOT RELEVANT anymore. stuff that DIDN'T fund a bigot's plans for genocide even.

Munroe Bergdorf calls for unity and protection as Glamour honours trans women amid JK Rowling backlash Model delivers defiant message about safety, sisterhood and solidarity as Glamour honours nine trans activists, saying ‘protection will always be a two-way street’ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That top 50 SW character list suffers from both recency bias and sexism. Because lets be real, if Jyn were a man she would be one of the most popular characters in the franchise. She's a lot like Han Solo, tbh

This episode has no guest, but is inspired by a video from diamandahagan.bsky.social, and you can see it here: youtu.be/lQjQJMRSaXU?...

To kick of Halloween this year, we're going back in time - again...and again...and again...because robot skellingtons keep trying to mess with our day. Can Lindsay cross the Terminator franchise over with another bratty AI to finally end the threat of SkyNet? Listen to find out!
