weapons was really good made me really happy about the future of horror-- also such a satisfying ending. I hope aunt gladys becomes a recurring character like freddy or jason

my vote is contingent on how mean is étouffée is now ya hear

ah the ol keir starmer

really terrific piece here 👀

the shadow mario has left behind

I made a super Mario out of post its to decorate the ya section. It’s been up there for a few years but my boss wants the bulletin board. I took it down but you can still see the shadow

tbh I don't even know where to begin with the alt text here

I’ve been going to pt for a busted elbow and they pull me aside so I can tele health an in house doctor just for insurance reasons. Anyway they’re using the intern’s laptop and there’s some interesting stickers

I've heard of 101 dalmations but

I'll probably do data management at a mid sized tech firm and drive a honda civic

From @annierlevin.bsky.social: "Shawn has described this subtlety and delicacy in Gregory’s direction as “a political rebuke to the crudeness of people like Trump.”"

they're not wrong though borscht fuckin slaps

the "to me" codicil is what really drives me up the wall, that particular piece of redundancy and evasiveness. Of course it's "to me" or else I wouldn't have said it!

the opinion I have that's probably gonna get me killed even more than the leftism is that being a snob rules it's cool and good to make aesthetic judgements about media and it's healthy for society to just say that something sucks without equivocating behind an "imo" or "to me"

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention.
