Sort of like how I can’t be bothered to figure out what Wordle is when I still haven’t finished not being bothered to figure out what Sudoku is, assuming it’s still a thing.

Hey, Trump’s got plenty of time to appoint a MUCH worse one!

Rem D. Koolhaas’s Lo Res Car looked as though it was designed to ram the shit out of Cybertrucks!

This is a legit use for AI.

… shooting in 35mm, so you can see them growing into their craft over the course of the film.

Have you ever seen the Kevin Brownlow/Andrew Mollo film IT HAPPENED HERE, which similarly takes place in an alternate Nazi-occupied Britain? It’s especially noteworthy as they started as a pair of movie-obsessed teenagers shooting in 16mm and after 8 years finished it as now professional filmmakers

The first sf book I ever read was FARMER IN THE SKY by Robert Heinlein. My mother, who was both a librarian and a lifelong SF fan brought it home for me once and it unlocked something in my brain, although, ironically, I could’t tell you a single thing about it now, having never reread it.

Good one - sentiment I can get behind.

More often than you’d think.

Ever find yourself craving a few cryo-preserved slices of mouse hippocampus when it’s too late to do anything about it?

Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.

Who wore it better?

Well you are the Flop House official hedgehog correspondent, after all, so you probably know what you’re talking about.

I will not be watching the Super Bowl because the president of the country its halftime show performer is from is a rapist and a pedophile. And also because I don’t like football.

I get it. My copy of FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS’ cover is the poster for the Terry Gilliam film. I like both the film and Gilliam in general, but it still makes me feel like a poseur having this as my copy of the book—like I wouldn’t have read it if weren’t for Johnny Depp being in the movie.

If we’re lucky enough to get a Democratic president in ‘28, they should not only disband ICE, but use the money earmarked for it to hire an army of forensic accountants to claw back every single dime Trump, his family, and his cronies have grifted over the course of his term in office.

Like father, like son.

Fantasy writers better than JRR Tolkien or George RR Martin: Ursula K. LeGuin, Philip Pullman; John Collier, Angela Carter, Jonathan Carroll, Kelly Link, Thorne Smith, Shirley Jackson,

Feel free to add your own.

And whoever they are I hope I never meet them.

Fair enough

Fun fact: in the book the bad guys are the Americans.

It would be the ultimate dad movie if Richard Lester’s ROBIN AND MARIAN with Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn didn’t exist.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social is a showboating asshole, but at least he’s *our* showboating asshole. I don’t want him to be president - he’s a bit too cozy with Silicon Valley billionaires for my taste - but at least he’s showing more spine than @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are.

Keep fighting the good fight, dude.

Or, you know, just a Republican.

Oh, definitely. Musk should have his citizenship stripped away and be deported to that El Salvador death camp, while his companies are nationalized.

Lieber’s OUR LADY OF DARKNESS is an underrated horror masterpiece. Why no one’s made it into a movie remains a mystery to me.
