Two posters for the movie Moonfall hanging on a bedroom wall

The only April 1st joke I'm engaging with - The Bechdel Cast podcast episode about Moonfall. It's a masterpiece of high-budget nonsense and a family favorite. We just watched it (again) Sunday. Screamed the whole time. @caitlindurante.bsky.social @jamieloftus.bsky.social

Absolutely. Just earlier today I laughed out loud thinking of when Missy Pyle went "AHLALALALALA" because her translator was broken. My wife was like ????? I told her and she was all "well that was a helluva thing" in Tony Shaloub's voice

Boring steel car wheels and tires with HELLO KITTY and SELFIE DOG painted on the sidewalls in white

Why not?

The perfect movie. They did it. Just perfect.

Today I was behind a boredom-paralysis-inducing GMC Envoy with a vanity plate reading GMCENVY

My condolences 😂😂

In bed with some Merlot, hopefully 😥

What if they got FORTY EIGHT days of training did you think of that?

I've watched this short film dozens of times just now

It's a good one!

John Wick's 2026 resolution: fill *just one* bullet journal

I've got a bit of the 'tism.

Astigmatism.

ICE continues to assault us.

We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.

Of course, besides not knowing how threads work, I'm also ignoring a demagogic government's role in fascism. The cattle trains and packed 737 airplanes, the shock troops, the camps, all paid for and built by the government. With popular support.

Be antifa, everybody

Even if you start with flat-frictionless-ideal-physics land, unchecked capitalism leads to fascism. As soon as differences arise, they get amplified, until one family owns everything, and the rest of the population is split exactly 50/50 in a civil war that somehow makes the wealthy more so

5/END

7) the unmonied masses see the teevee and realize wait no! it's the sketchy weirdo Random Disempowered Out Group who are the enemy!!!! They start wheeling their guillotines over to the Home Depot and start, well... genocide

4/x

6) the wealthy notice the lazy malcontent poors assembling IKEA guillotines just outside their gated communities. They panic some, and throw together a PR campaign pointing out how it's actually this Random Disempowered Group who are the villains! The Jews, "illegals", whatever, all lies

3/x

3) lucky, talented, or unscrupulous people win, inherit, earn, or steal wealth. Lots
4) turns out wealth is a FANTASTIC way to get more wealth. The wealthy vacuum money up like, industrial vacuum style so much money
5) the unmonied masses notice and get kinda mad. Where's my wealth?

2/x

I'm gonna do a thread :thread emoji: about how capitalism gives birth to fascism.

1) somebody sets up a capitalist society where "everyone" has equal opportunity. A meritocracy!!!
2) since everyone has equal opportunity, wealth and merit seem inextricably linked

I don't know what the deal with the president is, but I hope he's receiving the best medical treatments RFKjr can think of.

HUGE fan of Banks, and embarrassed to admit I just discovered Adrian Tchaikovsky - only halfway through my 2nd book of his, (Alien Clay, 1st was Service Model) and loving it!

Cult leaders engage in sexual abuse - it's almost definitional. Cult members tolerate the abuse. Cult leaders do not panic and hide from their own cult. Might be toast????

I think it's because for once in his life, trump is trying to hide his misbehavior. The emperor has realized everybody can see his misshapen little toadstool and instead of spread-eagle-waggling to the crowd (which they would cheer) he's running away covering himself.

Baffling graphic design choice. I presume you've done the art for your various podcasts??? If so, GREAT job, and this must hurt you to encounter 😂 plus, when your brand is just one character away from hilter clarity is um mandatory?

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

Make it make sense.

Right!? All these shows where doubles exist and yet *aliens* or *Japan won WW2* is so silly. Understandable from a storytelling point of view but ludicrous

Spent too much time on this
