when ya think about it, Sinners is really only a horror movie if you're racist and squeamish

I've never felt so seen
Been a sec since we've run one of these threads: Hey there, we're Unwinnable! We've been publishing 100% independent pop culture criticism since 2010.
Since we mainly count on reader funding, our writers write what's on their minds -- not what's best for the algorithm or investors.
Photographs of a dinosaur-looking bird, the shoebill, and popstar Sabrina Carpenter, overlaid with a height comparison showing both are 152 cm, with visual graphics saying the magazine's name SSWAGGER and some Chinese characters
Photographs of a shoebill and popstar Sabrina Carpenter overlaid with a height comparison showing that, yes indeed, both are just 152 cm
I can't even begin to describe this photograph. I think that might be Taylor Swift on a night out with Sabrina Carpenter. But Sabrina is photoshopped to have a shoebill face and talons, with wing-tips coming out her coat but still Sabrina's hair
Just incredible shoebill awareness-raising from this Hong Kong teens' magazine

A comic with two panels. Top: ditto wearing a tie and looking at graphs on a computer titled "I'm tired of looking at the bad lightscreen" Bottom: Ditto playing pokopia on a TV and smiling. "I'm want to go home & look at the good screen" Trxyland signature
a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning. https://spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-syllabi/
In case anyone needs it for their syllabi, my statement in gen-Ai from the minicomic I made as a syllabus for class last semester. All online and printable here spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-sy...
Fun fact: That CD was the seminal (to me if no one else) 1999 album Pokemon 2. B. A. Master. DJ Rotom told me personally so it's canon π
I was not prepared for the ghostly Pikachu (my mom's favorite PokemonπββοΈπ΄) to bring light back to a desolate beach and now I'm in tears
π£οΈπ¨: YOU CAN STUMBLE ON LIL POKEMON SLUMBER PARTIES IN POKOPIA
βBe kind, be involved, believe in your art,β he said. βAt a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesnβt matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if itβs that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.β
Love this from Guillermo del Toro
Pointing out every background character in fallout season 2 to my husband: that could be long dick johnson
y'all I was just Being Silly before but that Lone Road dlc shout-out in maximus' back story got my hopes up. Also, after episode 2, I've come full circle on the narrative decision to nuke shady sands. It's disco. The Ulysses to Maximus/brotherhood of steel pipeline is π― too
real talk, @primevideo.bsky.social should just assemble the handful of Dean Domino fans in the world to write fallout season 3. betcha that shit would win at the game awards, just sayin π
Agreed π― Man wants to crack into a vault and steal its fortunes just to finally settle a 200 year grudge. Unfathomable wealth secondary to getting what's IN the vault, OUT of it so that the last thing in this world to Sinclair's name is ruined. Such a fun, insufferable, & self destructive character
That smarmy loser (who's voiced by Barry Dennen, aka Pilate in Jesus Christ Superstar - so really I never stood a chance) pulled me kicking and screaming back into writing at my lowest point in college fandom shenanigans helped convince me to pursue a writing degree, then journalism, and well...π
If Dean Domino is referenced in any way, shape, or form in fallout season 2, this bout to be me
They put the cozy in cozy. But how?
You love to see it!!! πππ
Not to brag, but I read my anthology essay at an open mic and didnt cry once π
A fantastic piece I had the pleasure of editing!
Wonderstop is amazing, I spent 10 minutes trying to get the best picture of a dish washing train (it's so stinkin cute!!)
"the new onceler" is out. "He's so tragic and cunty" is in.
Kpop demon hunters is easily my favorite film of the year so far, go watch it if you haven't
Howdy folks! Trying to use Blue sky more π here's the build a bears my older sister and I made for the anniversary of our mom's passing (because we realized we never went growing up and we got build a bear money now π€). Also a bidoof with swag levels off the charts
