anyone else up thinking about how Frankie Valli plays Rusty Millio on THE SOPRANOS but Tony makes repeated reference to the real Frankie Valli, whom characters on the show claim they've met in real life, which begs the question: what does their universe's Frankie Valli look like?

Because I felt like I was burning alive in slow-motion

It's okay to write fluffy cotton candy junk food Happily Ever After-mandatory books, but getting upset when other people don't take those books seriously or make light of them is like getting your feelings hurt that your friends don't like your preferred color of Tic Tac.

Aside from all the clearly prejudicial and hateful bullshit wrapped up in the proposed Adult account tag, having places where adults can contextualize their sex lives alongside their other interests is liberatory and enriches life and culture.

Thank you, bitches.

MANY ARE SAYING

William Friedkin smiling down from Heaven as OBSESSION destroys STAR WARS, finally avenging SORCERER

love to fucking see it

Raising children takes all of one's faculties under the best of circumstances, and Sama'a has two very young girls in a warzone. Please help her feed them. chuffed.org/project/1575...

lmao

Anti-porn, anti-sex worker, and anti-sex censorship directly corresponds to a tilt downward into a more ideologically conservative and oppressive society. Regardless of your personal comfort with nsfw content on the internet, it's absolutely critical to support it right now.

Every day Sama'a needs help finding food and clean water for her family amidst unimaginable danger. Please give what you can. chuffed.org/project/1575...

so much fat liberation theory is hopelessly mired in the self-loathing trap of dismissing all attraction to the fat body as fetishistic.

My advice to all writers is this: if the anthology won't give you film and television rights to your own story, it isn't an anthology, it's a scam.

Happy anniversary to one of my favourite hidden gems of all time. Cruel & weird small-town horror with a curdled, E.C. comics style vein of pitch black humour running through it. All-timer.

Manhunt by @scumbelievable.bsky.social

Buzz is smashed to pieces by a toddler and then fed to a pitbull.

We had such a good time at @allshewrotebks.bsky.social! Great vibes and great questions 🥰 Next up, Comics N’ More in Easthampton on Sunday!

Food and water are increasingly scarce in Gaza, smuggled in through Israel's genocidal blockade, and Sama'a and her family rely on us to survive. Please give what you can. chuffed.org/project/1575...

"With AI, I'll be able to make three times as many terrible movies nobody watches"

dreamed @newlevant.bsky.social was begging me to take them to see a white rapper named Lil Jeremy

Come hang out with us!!

In @scumbelievable.bsky.social's book Manhunt a halfhearted fash who switches sides for a battle starts acting like all is forgiven, and one of our heroes is like "Are you kidding? You're lucky we don't kill you." I think about that one a lot

thank god we're getting this instead of a MANHUNT show

Lying to corporations doesn't count as lying. I mean that. It's absurd to hold people to any kind of ethical standard short of, like, doing actual murder (and even then, iffy) when they're trying to protect themselves from or fight a corporate entity.

You literally do not have to go on Al Gore's Internet and say you side with multi-national corporations over drag queens. You are not Patagonia corporate counsel or PR.

worked myself Too Hard this week and am now heading into a super busy weekend. let's do some questions to wind down! Ask me anything!

if something is genuinely valuable, you don't need to go around whining that it's valuable. you don't see the CEO of Hershey's giving interviews about how everyone REALLY likes eating chocolate, just trust him

Israel's bombing campaign continues into Eid, shattering families and taking lives very close to where Sama'a and her family live. Please give what you can to help them stave off hunger and disease. chuffed.org/project/1575...

Best thing about this is what the bunkers look like. Just you and your terrible nuclear family, trapped with each other, forever. No community even if you needed one. No help on the way. Just a grid of soundproof tombs. The perfect American suburb

Listening to podcasts is fine and all, but being a full-on parasocial fan of the hosts is so embarrassing. Like leaving your soul unused, still in the shrink wrap

this is the one.

burger king original chicken sandwich

my god. absolutely not.

I don't care about pumpkin donuts.

We NEED to bring back calling people sellouts. People should feel shame for betraying their artistic communities for money. We gotta shame and boo artists who backstab others for corporate greed. (TO BE CLEAR: this is different from doing things you don't want to to make rent.)

As Eid-al-Adha begins, Sama'a must worry rather than celebrate. Her children are hungry, her father has been injured, and Israel has stepped up its bombing campaign. Please give what you can. chuffed.org/project/1575...

Some absurd Gretchen trivia: my ex girlfriend owns Jack Donaghy's portrait of Don Geiss from 30 ROCK.

My union is asking the public to sign this petition asking the board to reject layoffs/AI and end bloated executive pay. The Academy doesn't care about its employees, but they DO care what the public thinks about them! Please sign & share. It would mean a lot to me. www.calacademyworkersunited.org

WIDOW'S BAY may be the first time a comedy has ever placed top 5 on my ballot for best shows of the year. What a fucking delight this show is.

feels very normal to sit here and watch Quirk hire an entirely new staff after union-busting and laying off 90% of their existing staff last year! meanwhile everyone from my wonderful publishing team there is still looking for work!!! anyway if you’re considering applying for a job there, don’t!
