it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

happiest birthday! enjoy your custom weather

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

A film about how Brutalism and large modern art reliefs are Satanic. Beware midcentury abstraction, good people!

Also the color yellow as living room palette (true).

criterion corporate thrillers playlist check in: the devil's advocate was a B- review in the 90s, now breathtakingly competent. Matte paintings! Line reads to hell! A Tony Gilroy screenplay! A who's who of faces!

by rights i should be watching this on tnt with commercial breaks at 4pm on a weekend

entire weights area at the gym stopped what we were doing to silently watch the astronauts splash down. a nice moment of shared humanity.

who needs coffee, start your friday engine with an hour of Angry Union Zoom Meeting

Shockingly the breathless reporting on AI isn’t being made by everyday folks, so it isn’t as pervasive as people have been convinced it is

I also think this is a “the young people do this thing” that they always do to try to make themselves feel better than the generations under them

screengrab from the animated film The Iron Giant. the character dean holds a newspaper over his face whose headline reads "disaster seen as catastrophe looms"

"tune in next week"

Like it’s bad enough that no one is going to see any consequence from doing any of this but also any consequence isn’t going to feel like enough it has to be mythological like turned into deer and hunted by dogs

As we approach America's 250th birthday, now is a good time for this reminder:

One of our Founders, Thomas Paine, suggested we have a universal basic income for all people 21 and over, funded by a tax on landed wealth and property.

Sounds like a hell of a birthday gift, don't you think?

and people claim to care about sustainability for the industry

but is anyone brave enough to go for it? only horror franchises

it would be a sam raimi-vibe knives out franchise alt! when i'm right, i'm right

want...better for yourself. healing begins at home!

i'd ask deep, intellectually penetrating questions like "why", and "who hurt you", and "what's wrong with us", but i have seen both the news and the men's deodorant lineup at a cvs, so they would be rhetorical, though just as damning

for those wondering with the voice of a demon in their heads what beverage professionals like john and i are discussing in this thread, it was skrewball pb whisky. decide your own terrible fate, ours was at least complementary...if served with malicious intent

right, i KNOW people who could craft a cocktail that was like the platonic experience of a pb or eveb "&j", but this was a shot of Manic Depression In Your Studio Apartment At 3AM

as i said at the time it is distinctly that experience!!! it's not like...a more savory whisky!!! it's having a full TBSP of gas station selection pb in your mouth and then take a swig of something that college age you would have considered "a good deal"

it's a great idea if you want to see what someone's face looks like when they've been Betrayed

what if skippy and bottom shelf brown got you wasted? what then? nothing good!!

those were...a goddamn experience

my swole blorbos are back from the war (high end animation production times)! #dorohedoro

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content.

"I will not comply."

They sacked her and cops escorted her out.

She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

sometimes there's no way to win, and all you get is to choose between bad options

i just wish it was a less frequent occurrence, at this point

crying on the subway while everyone strenuously ignores you, especially if it's silently letting tears roll down your face with headphones in, very chic, let me assure you

cried on the subway while holding a baguette, let everyone assume my problems are so profound they require french solutions

have spent today being soundly rejected from a couple huge opportunities, and bitten at from all sides by petty little demands. at a maximum level of stress and depression, and feeling like i don't have much to show for years of struggle. logging off for a bit for my health. at least it's nice out.
