Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"we are the girlfriends of one of the founders of antifa"

this is how I, a resident of LA, found out that the Palisades fire was arson, that they caught the guy, and that he used gen AI to work his way up to doing the crime

It feels notable that Disney raised prices on their annual passes by $150 while Knott’s just *lowered* theirs by $130. Also, just getting in the gate (ticket plus parking) on tier 6 days now costs more than a Prestige pass for Knott’s and is only about $30 shy of a Gold pass for Universal.

Settling in for the next 12 hours.

Would be weirdly fitting for this bizarre series to just sort of fizzle out on a lukewarm cliffhanger because Vin is such a nightmare to work with.

I normally don’t go in for all the Taylor Swift symbology stuff, but Life of a Showgirl is definitely her penultimate album, right? Her next release will also be her 13th, and there’s no way she doesn’t love the idea of having a canon of 13 records.

Reiterating my belief that if you know who the CEO of a company is, it’s because something has gone wrong.

Preliminary new Taylor Swift rankings after one listen to the new album (this is likely to change): 1. folklore 2. Speak Now 3. 1989 4. Red 5. evermore 6. Fearless 7. The Tortured Poets Department 8. Lover 9. The Life of a Showgirl 10. Taylor Swift 11. Midnights – – – 13. Reputation

Jared Leto desperately trying to figure out how he can groom Tilly Norwood to promote his new Tron movie

No but for real if SHANE GILLIS has the upper hand on you in a moral quandary, I don’t know man maybe go walk on the beach and watch the waves for a while until you realize fucking something about where you went wrong.

Sold out screening of THE RING at 10:15 last night with The Man, Gore Verbinski in the house.

There's a breed of dude who thinks he's just being a cold pragmatist and anyone with ideals is a child, but c'mon. This is just the textbook definition of greed.

Once again, the entire video game industry consolidating into three mega publishers seems like maybe it was a bad thing! Guess it's good to know this sort of thing won't happen to movies. *touches earpiece* What's that? Oh no–

Found out that there's gas stations in the midwest apparently selling "heavy soda" which is just fountain sodas with the concentration turned up. It was intended for people on long drives like truckers to balance out the watering down from ice melting but some people are straight up Milhousing it

Really good catch here.

I think at this point the last two things I sincerely miss about Twitter are private accounts and the ability to search posts from only the people you follow.

STAR WARS: VISIONS is just the fucking coolest. A balm against continuity obsessed online discourse and a raw expression of creativity and fun. The one thing that actually makes good on the popular notion of these stories being modern mythology.

Knott’s Scary Farm is simply the best.

ICE. For when you’re too stupid and mean to be a regular cop. Abolishing ICE and holding Nuremberg-style trials for everyone who worked for ICE/DHS should a non-negotiable first 100 days priority for anyone intending to run on a Dem ticket.

Modest proposal: If you are a producer who doesn't like awards shows, do not produce one. If you are a host who doesn't like awards shows, do not host one. If you are a television viewer who doesn't like watching awards shows, do not watch one.

Still can’t quite believe this is a real movie, but the fact that Spaceballs 2 decided to unveil its cast by spoofing the Force Awakens table read photo (*and* by putting a pizza on a chair in tribute to the late great Pizza the Hutt) is an encouraging sign. screencrush.com/spaceballs-2...

writing on my bullets "TELL THEM I WAS SHOOTING AT ICE" before specifically not shooting at ice

Shhh let them cook

I understand the difficulties of trying to get a high concept, big budget sci-fi show off the ground in the year of our lord 2025, but it still strikes me that the alien is the least interesting element of ALIEN: EARTH.

A diegetic ad in the trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu movie reads, "HALCYON — SEE THE GALAXY" and depicts the galactic starcruiser in profile:

There's a lot of stuff that gets thrown at Ol' Walt that's hearsay at best, outright slander at worst, but this right here really is the worst shit he ever said or did.

"smoker" is on the CDC list and basically impossible to disprove

Eisner had his flaws as a CEO but once again he succeeds at looking like a human being compared to Bob

Tector-class Star Destroyer (variant). First Appearance: The Muppet Show S4E17.

Heads up, the Burbank Progressives (who initiated today's protest at Disney) will be present again tomorrow at 12 PM at Disney in Burbank. I'll be there and I’ve spoken to other WGA and SAG members who will join us as well. Please spread the word! See y'all tomorrow! #JimmyKimmel #FreedomOfSpeech

This was my experience as well. Check with your insurance to make sure you’re covered, and then just lie on your pharmacy’s reservation form.

Maybe the only YouTube video I can think of that would make the world a measurably better place if everyone was required to watch it.

New Bev’s got Friday matinees for a bunch of the classic Universal Monsters movies in October (plus an Invisible Man/Invisible Agent double bill).

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

Hanging out in the Season Pass lounge at Knott’s. It’s safe to say that the clientele that tends to be at Knott’s Berry Farm during the day midweek skews conservative. The guy at the table across from me is talking about cancelling his Hulu/Disney+ subscriptions over Kimmel getting canned.

I mostly don't mind the design/UI changes in the latest version of macOS, but the new app drawer integrated into Spotlight suuuuuuucks. Just dumping every application into a pile without being able to organize things into pages and folders is a nightmare.

this is really the root of our inability to stop any of this. too many people are simply too goddamn comfortable, and don't have the courage to risk upending a deeply cushy life.

Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood feels like it’s just about at a breaking point for me where the demand is so high and the quality is so diminished that I’m not sure it’s worth going anymore. Basically the problem I ran into with Disneyland four years ago.

In line for this right now, and yeah, can confirm.

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) Dir. James Cameron

The new JAWS exhibit at the Academy Museum rocks.

Contra Points did a really good Patreon exclusive video on GamerGate somewhat recently, digging into how insidious the effort has been to memory hole the whole thing.

Little Mermaid/Beauty and the Beast are the basic, boring answers, but they’re also the correct answers. The Menken/Ashman duo cannot be beat. Every song—even the joke songs (“Les Poissons”)—are aces. There’s no “Fixer Upper” or “Guy Like You” dragging down the rest.

It absolutely does not qualify for this question, but THE LAST MAN ON EARTH was so weird, idiosyncratic, and funny that it’s both a miracle that it made it to four seasons and a catastrophe that it ended there.
