"Nickel Boys" in Best Picture 👍👍
Nothing for "Challengers" 👎👎

I'm also the rare person on the internet who enjoyed Emilia Perez, but 13 nominations is absurd. Strange year!

If a junior associate made up a case in a brief, they'd be fired, but if a computer program does it, it's the future of legal practice

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

Goatee dude sitting behind Trump watching him talk about a long-dead pro golfer's massive dong near but not quite at the tail end of a 177-word sentence that started out being about manufacturing jobs: "I can't wait for this guy to make my life better by having the cops shoot my neighbors."

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

The "wants to project" unity thing is literally a fake, imaginary narrative that the media invented to try to help Trump. It's not visible anywhere in Trump's own deranged social media posts and certainly not anywhere in his fellow Republicans' RNC speeches.

The Democratic Party’s reaction to their candidate having a bad debate substantially outpaces the Republican Party’s reaction to their candidate being convicted of multiple felonies, held liable for rape, and owing judgments in the hundreds of millions for defamation and fraud.

Helena’s Theme is lovely! Dial of Destiny hive doing ok this morning

Beyond the obvious snubs (Margot Robbie's work in Barbie has been weirdly underrated all year), good noms! Can't remember the last time I liked every Best Picture nominee. Triet and Glazer both in Best Director 👍

Film list: 2023 A rough ranking of what I saw this year. I liked most of these!

Still have a few big ones to see, but lots of good movies this year! boxd.it/mleji

Transwomen are women

Trans men are men

I’m sorry it’s just so fucking funny that they built an entire AI just to give them the answer they wanted to this question and they couldn’t even do it

Spotify Wrapped shockingly let me know that my top artist was once again Bruce Springsteen. I did actually listen to new music this year though! AOTY is probably "GUTS." SOTY is "Faded State" by Home Front. Solid year! open.spotify.com/playlist/6Ow...

I've seen enough: GOP candidate Tarp Bumpass, a sunburned chiropractor who rose to national notoriety after firing a rocket launcher into a blimp with the word "gender" written on it, injuring 312 bystanders, has been defeated in his race for a Pennsylvania Supreme Court seat.

Blank Space has always been the one song of hers I can't deny, so I was curious to hear what a new version of it sounded like! I'm shocked at how tinny the instrumental is, and the vocal is pretty boring too. Just a weird uncanny valley effect.

Maybe I'm just a hater of all things TS, but these new versions of the 1989 songs suck, right? You can't do a Max Martin song without Max Martin involved. Kinda baffled that a billionaire is putting out songs that sound so cheap.

Highly recommend the River outtakes on the Ties That Bind collection - his most garage rock indebted stuff! It was a true treasure trove when I got around to it.

“yeah, let’s uhh let’s go with another Butt Fumble, let’s fuckin go supersonic, fuckin Ass Catastrophe let’s do it”

/to the tune of David Bowie's "Let's Dance" Josh Gad

The backing track is different too! Glad the movie didn’t pull that trick

the music IP/copyright debate is a surprisingly complex one. i actually disagree with a number of people i respect on this issue. personally — and this is just my personal opinion, not trying to start an argument — i think that everyone who has ever listened to a song should be thrown in prison

Who's There Smash Mouth · Song · 1999

Astro Lounge was the second album I ever bought with my own money. This song is still an absolute banger. RIP open.spotify.com/track/2DDBGX...

As a non-viewer of the animated series, I'm pleasantly surprised by Ahsoka so far! It's bit concerning that the titular character is the least interesting part so far, but hopefully that changes.

All in on Sabine though. Her intro music is the Star Wars version of punk rock! More of that please!

I clearly haven't evolved since senior year of high school

Four albums that defined my last year of high school (you know I can't pass up an opportunity to go on about how 2010 is the greatest year for music in my lifetime... I feel like I'm shortchanging a dozen albums by not including them in this)

bad idea right? Olivia Rodrigo · Song · 2023

I doubt this will be a big hit, but Olivia Rodrigo is single-handedly trying to save mainstream rock radio with this song. That pre-chorus! open.spotify.com/track/2i8f4VnnBjy0yDqH2C...
