This took me fucking ages

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The sadder take on this that I’m choosing to believe is that Kayleigh has no idea her mother is lying to her

This is true! Where am I on Super Bowl Sunday? At the movies, ignoring online discourse about the game (and worse, commercials) and letting those people enjoy themselves. Worst case is a restaurant is maybe a little *too* understaffed, but even then, it’s quieter.

i remember being a kid and being very excited about being an adult and being able to experience cool mature adult things like understanding what Doonesbury was about and now I am an adult and almost all media I experience that is aimed at me sounds like they're talking to a toddler.

This is who runs this account

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

If you answer “No” you get an invitation to Mar-a-Lago

Canadian postage stamps are superior to American postage stamps. This was issued in 2014.

The problem with enduring docs like THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR is how many of the problems are completely avoidable. Beyond the fact that cops are useless and that woman would be alive today were it not for guns… build a playground. City, town, whoever’s responsible. Build spaces for kids!

Condolences to Bo Welch, the production designer who made BEETLEJUICE and BATMAN RETURNS look so cool. As the story goes, Catherine O’Hara was yapping with Tim Burton on the BEETLEJUICE set saying “why hasn’t Bo asked me out?!”, and Tim simply said “I’ll see what I can do.” Rest in peace, Catherine

Rob Schneider getting divorced surprises me because he has had Big Divorced Man anti-energy for yeeeears

So much of my love of reading came from Neil Gaiman. A bastard who belongs in jail.

Has it really been four years since the last Sam Raimi film?

Finally unfollowed the podcast for The Dissolve. Some good things are just never coming back guys

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

Oscar nominee THE UGLY STEPSISTER is on Hulu, so that means you can watch it on Disney+. Somewhere I hope someone following up SLEEPING BEAUTY with MALEFICENT, or 101 DALMATIANS with CRUELLA, sees this and has their entire world rocked.

Me watching HARD BOILED on the big screen

Heyo, Chicago pals: Quick note that the executive vice president of the Bob Loquercio Auto Group is vociferously defending the murder of Alex Pretti. The auto group has 16 locations in and around Chicago, listed below. Please take your business elsewhere. www.blautogroup.com/locations/in...

The kind of criticism I love to see

And now, Swan Lake!

I could live a hundred years and never wear a hat this well.

There are two Americas. Pick your side wisely. One ideology always loses.

Guys nothing personal but if you rub your a.i. generated anti-ICE, anti-Trump memes in my face I gotta unfollow and mute you and also you’re dead to me. It’s the sewage that fascism both shits and eats, it’s like blowing smoke in my face to show me how evil the tobacco companies are.

In SALVADOR, four aid-worker nuns are raped and murdered by soldiers - but since the El Salvador govt is getting propped up by the US, the media and CIA try to control the story by saying the nuns might have been armed. Today the US is claiming a VA nurse, killed by Trump paramilitaries, had a gun.

Fun to read this article because 1) it mentions the "annual blogger party," of which I am proud to have been one of the hosts every year it existed (2011-20); 2) a lot of the embedded tweets are "Not found" because those people have since deleted their Twitter accounts. 💀

The most Oscar nominated film of all time is a horror movie Amy Madigan, guys FRANKENSTEIN love THE UGLY STEPSISTER!!! It’s a great day to be a horror fan, the best damn kind of movie fan 🟢

THE UGLY STEPSISTER got an Oscar nomination. Well done 👏👏👏

A nice chap responded to me vindicating him with “you’re like the Cousin Vinny to my Vinny’s Cousin”, a 30-Rock-like turn of phrase I plan to use every day now.

“And for just a few hours… we thought he was dead”

Wouldn’t it be fun if the current climate was still CABARET but it started playing in reverse

Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives. Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

God this is just what I needed 👏

If it happened on inauguration date that would be pretty funny

A Most Violent Year. 2025 was great, and are David Ehrlich’s countdowns.

You can tell some people are a bit too comfortable with the current state of affairs when they say "l don't get why everyone is posting about 2016??", as if they don't have a bone-deep knowledge it was the last year before the Trump presidency

Watching a 1994 movie and man, those Clinton-economy prices. We used to be a proper country

Alas, I have become what I most feared: ten draculas.

bro

what do you mean the stranger things documentary shows them writing the script on a computer with 3 chat gpt tabs open

Trans people: "Fix your hearts or die!" Scott Adams: ok *dies*

i said it once before but it bears repeating

Watching Spielberg accepted for HAMNET last night, I imagine he’s still sore about SAVING PRIVATE RYAN losing Best Picture to SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, so much he made his own “what-if Shakespeare’s most famous play was based on parts of his own life” movie…

"Tell me where is fancy bred" - Hulk, unable to find his donuts

I’m convinced Conan O’Brien could get a good interview out of anyone. Watched one with Abel Ferrera (!) of all people and O’Brien wrangles it into something resembling a compelling chat.

holy fuck it’s real

Considering the number of times studio-budget biopics have not been as good as the Drunk History episodes about the same story, perhaps studios need to cut their losses and just make more Drunk History versions

This is just what you like to see on here

I liked all eight hours of THE SECRET AGENT
