After thinking about Wolf for a weekend, she told Nichols, "Mike, you have a story about a guy who wants to become a wolf, so he becomes a wolf. I think this is going to be a very short movie."
This quote (from Elaine May, about her script doctoring work on Mike Nichols’s 1994 bomb, “Wolf”) always comes to mind when I think about the need for conflict in storytelling.
“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”

It should be your absolute goal to make sure any film/tv/arts/culture book you purchase from now on is directly from mzs.press, “the arts bookstore of the internet.” Matt is the best of the best, human & writing wise, and when he needs some help, we all gotta help! Plus: it’s a fantastic bookstore!!

A simplified illustration of Hal 9000 from 2001. With a speech bubble saying Thanks for calling that out. That was bad advice on my part.
“Knowing” you and @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social through the socials, my mind immediately went to The Warriors (1979) and I was like, “Wow, that’s pretty progressive…but I guess that’s how they roll in a family of artists?”
Fantasy cat books makes much more sense.
I literally saw a post two weeks back in which a guy with two jobs was flagellating himself because he was short on rent, lamenting that had he donated plasma more, maybe his rent would be on time. This system is deeply fucked. Earth is a pleasure cruise for 1000 people and we're all just the staff.
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.
Do I have these saved on my phone? Yes, yes I do.

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

jaderemedy • 4h ago And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like. Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is "well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it. This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order. And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny. You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely. "Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckin…

i am so sick of the dumbest people alive being in charge of everything and the second dumbest people alive writing opinion columns about how it's good
Cool 1985 attitude! Cameron and Donna would like a word.

YES, yes, a thousand times yes! I’ve been intrigued by your comics, but they aren’t something I grew up reading so they always feel a little…inaccessible to me? (Maybe because I don’t know all the character mythology and conventions?) But as a huge HACF fan, I’d love to check out more of your work!
