Mariners are the closest thing to a horse I have in this race because of that dang documentary.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

trying out a new name! You can still call me Bishop, though. This new one is mostly to avoid folks thinking I am a clergyperson on LinkedIn. ⭐

this is the solution to the male loneliness epidemic I am 100% serious

Gentle reminder: everything is awful so you may as well go ahead and start dressing like a wizard in public.

I'm barely on here to repost Todd bangers but here you go

Olivia Rodrigo's "get him back!" over an ad for the Eagles vs. Cowboys game? football is here.

truth. Time to queue up that X-Files pilot....

surely a cowboy hat would remedy all my woes

the most transgender thing a person can do is put an old navy version of Bob Reynolds' outfit from the climax of Thunderbolts into their shopping cart.

I don't know who needs to hear this: you don't need that themed popcorn bucket but I do.

Tulsa?? Tulsa!!

If you see this, post a bad woman you love

@andrewcuomo: Do you smell it, Zohran? Do you feel it in the air? Your time is near. A red dawn will rise, and on that day you will taste my blade. And your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you will know the debt is paid. Let's build a new NYC that works for the people who need it.

I hope both Yandy and Geno live and play forever

In this moment I am thinking of how to let go of any fear of being annoying (read: "cringe") so that one can embrace virtue and creativity instead. Get out of your head! Into your heart!

counterpoint criticism is the art of animating crap.

he's fun

send us your funny work (or your work about funny)!

went to my first SABR meeting in a long time. it's good to be back!!

reading the comments of a random facebook meme where comic book nerds with intricate F4 knowledge have come together to blast a guy saying Sue Storm is too powerful in the new movie. just chilling on a thursday night.

the switch from rock band to cards against humanity as a go-to party game is such a profoundly evil shift in our society

Yeah, #Superman is what I would describe as an action comedy. #FantasticFour does a great job of telling a story where everything goes wrong again and again. I appreciated it. They were STRESSED. And so I was I. But at the end, I was absolutely worn out. You leave a survivor, not a victor.

Make something. Do it now. Doesn't matter if it's polished or not. Make something because nobody has ever seen the world the way you do, and nobody will again. Make something because art is simply that which is authentically expressed. Let beauty take care of itself www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...

twins fans, you now have my favorite pitcher, and as flawed as he has been this year, he had such an amazing streak last year. pleeease take care of him. thank you!!!

ok so Fairbanks is still a Ray? Is that what I'm understanding?

Trump's new executive order about AI states that companies' models must not incorporate the idea that trans people exist as a concept. Seems bad.

A repost for the evening crowd: I wrote about Superman (2025) and my very complicated feelings about it.

The reports of my death as a film critic have been greatly exaggerated. Thank you to Screen Speck for bringing me back on. I love Superman yet still gave it 3/5 stars. Sometimes I am fond of things that I don't feel are perfectly-crafted. This is one of these times. screenspeck.com/2025/07/21/j...

my fantastic four (unfortunately)

the tension between the need to get things accomplished and the impulse to spend time simply thinking about what makes me happy

the links to the white t-shirts from that fab article about Carmy's wardrobe are all dead now. not very trans-affirming.

IT'S BETTER TO BE NAIVE THAN JADED

incoming Superman post but I love that the sun heals Clark and the first time Luthor arrives on screen he's hidden behind sunlight.

Superman warmup

so inspired to be more ethical by the new Superman that I'm actively working to replace some of my animal-based meals with plant-based ones. We love flawed yet life-changing media.
