Peter Hyams has consistently made some great film entertainment with the biggest stars on the planet (OUTLAND being my favorite), yet he remains humble & self-effacing with a razor-sharp sense of humor about the world. See my interview with him in IN SEARCH OF TOMORROW…

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Thinking of this quote from Mamdani’s victory speech.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Can't wait for tomorrow's fundraising email from the Democratic Party.

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago

After listening to people wax poetic about science fiction for 2 and a half hours, I needed to watch some. Added about 15 movies to my watchlist, but first, I need to re-watch Barbarella.

Darth Vader has assured Lando Calrissian that Princess Liea and Chewbacca will be left under his supervision in Cloud City and that's good enough for Chuck Schumer.

@williambibbiani.bsky.social Dude! Just saw an ad for Predator Badlands that quoted you twice! Nicely done!

What happened between yesterday and today? Keep fighting!

Also, fuck Dick Durbin. His office isn't taking voicemails, so you have to email him.

Break up the Democratic Party, sell the parts for scrap, beat and harangue its architects and factotums out of public life, and then reform a New Deal rainbow coalition. It's done. It's goddamn done! Bunch of carpetbagging shitstains on our collective shoe.

Does anyone else smell roasted donkey?

I have to assume Chris Murphy is going ballistic rn

Find your senators at reps.fyi or call 202-224-3121

We’ve only ever asked them to try. They won’t even do that.

Watching @davidweiner.bsky.social's In Search of Tomorrow on Tubi and love that while talking about Outland, Peter Hyams is rocking a @theonion.com t-shirt and said the highest compliment was when MAD Magazine parodied the movie!

"Stay tuned," Schumer tells us with a grin.

Also literally anyone who's ever had a fucking FSA knows that they're an absolute nightmare of red tape and receipts and bullshit, what the fuck are we fucking doing

We don't need yet another "gifts for D&D players" YouTube video or listicle. We have that. It's the same list every year, with maybe a new book or two sprinkled in. How about gifts for Cyberpunk players? Or modern? Or sci-fi TTRPG players in general? There are other games and genres.

Heyo, mind giving this a share?

Yeah, I loved that! Will have to see how it does on replays to see if it equals or bests Poor Things as my favorite, but damn, I had a nice weird time with it! boxd.it/bEYVAj

My wife hates that I have to look up which screening room the movie I see is in so I know which side of the theater to park on. And I wonder why it took til 45 to get diagnosed with AuDHD.

I assumed that since Schumer asked for such a pathetically low number on the ACA extension (1 year) it would get whittled down to maybe four months and pinky promises. But if this reporting is accurate, they're not even going to try for four months. They're just going to take the pinky promises.

The original STAR TOURS boarding safety video has been living rent free in my head for decades.

ME: Hello? Anyone? The pilot and copilot are dead! RADIO: You've reached Air Traffic Control. All of our controllers are working with other pilots at this time. Please hold for the next available controller. 🎵 🎵 🎵 ME: ... RADIO: Did you know? Our mobile app is just PLAIN easy to use- ME: Heh

Could have listened to them talk about this for several hours more! youtu.be/LKIoPs1BW_k?...

Oh fun, freeze warning in effect tonight.

Ooo! Don't mind if I do!

I found this today on TikTok by the creator @TrashCaulin I think this short expresses PERFECTLY what is happening now. Oh, and make sure you give your Senators a jingle and let them know that the need to #HoldTheLine (202)224-3121 ☎️

Just found a small black one right on the tip of my nose. Did I use a hair growth serum as face wash or something?!?

East Texas, east of Huntsville.

Frankenstein (2025)

Wife is decorating for Christmas, and the cat is already getting into stuff. Just heard my wife call her a menace.

If you wanna grab a flash and also help me pay rent rn, still got several available ones! ko-fi.com/jaws_stone/s...

Two Tintin drawings from 11 years ago(!).

Couldn't help myself.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

This is awesome, but as someone who has bought both this and Culture Warlords, I highly recommend picking them up if you can't wait!

Well that is the first in a while, but apparently slept walk and let the dog out, then went back to bed. Poor wife woke up to him barking wanting back in. Then I woke up not realizing what happened.

Hey sorry I didn't like your reply right away I don't want you to think I am chronically online but yeah I saw it one second after you posted it

tv tropes has rotted your brain and ruined how you experience art

it's happening more often than you think

Frankenstein yesterday, Poor Things tonight, Bugonia possibly tomorrow.

sorry i mean
