You didn't notice?

At the very least the first time an Animal Farm adaptation hasn't embarrassed itself.

the Boots Riley discourse on twitter isn't going far enough imo. if you're actually a leftist, you shouldn't even be *watching* movies and television. the only way to actually be a Marxist is to live in a big tank like a guild navigator in Dune so that you can spend 24 hours a day posting

Good yuri to y'all

I'm in this! Along with a lot of other really great people. give it a look!

A fact that seems unbelievable but is true: One of the Eminem fans who was involved in purchasing leaks of his songs from his engineer in 2025 was a survivor of the Sandy Hook shooting whose best friend died

It’s SHAKO, the audience would want to know how that bear got on the CIA Death List and the answers would not disappoint

Assuming they can't get David Attenborough to narrate it (and part of what makes Shako work is the disconnect between The Living Planet style narration and the hyper violence), Ross Bryant.

This is a very beautiful thread about a midlife crisis, choices, and how there can be moments of true beauty and human contact in even the tacky and the cheesy. And I don’t blame Andrew for turning off the comments because people are going to have Musical Opinions that aren’t germane.

Frequently, though mostly to follow webcomics.

Buy and read this amazing book 👇

Dave Mathews in a keffiyeh holding up signs that say STOP THE GENOCIDE and STOP KILLING CHILDREN at a concert

This is not a knock on DMB but if you had told me twenty years ago that Dave Mathews would be this outspoken on an issue that Radiohead completely shat the bed on, well... I would've been surprised!

Favorite thing you've read in the past three months?

I should have a first draft of a book engaging with this sometime in 2027.

Sam Harris is a racist. And this has been expressed primarily through Islamophobia and Zionism, right back to The End of Faith where he mindlessly regurgitated lies about the Palestinians and the Nazis that he got from plagiarist and pro-Israel propagandist Alan 'kept his underwear on' Dershowitz.

What they needed was Brendan Frasier.
