@scarecrowvideo.bsky.social asked members to pick their “comfort movies”. Easy!
If Burl Ives lived to be almost 90, then why the heck am I trying to lose weight?!
Shall we be dragged by him to the bottom of the sea? Shall we be towed by him to the infernal world?
A Republican attack on Trump is always an out of office reply.
It wouldn’t happen if they had one of those 2001 ferris wheel space station thingies. Like keeping your blood in a centrifuge.
Okay, I need to ahead of a few things and make some things clear, I have never been one of The Master's wives, and I am completely unfamiliar with a person named "Torgo." I have a strong legal team and consider spurious accusations a serious matter.
It was not that long ago when conservatives had a chokehold on every branch of Wisconsin government, piles of Koch and Uline money, and seemed unstoppable. People worked FUCKING HARD to change that shit and now look at em. Change is always possible and never ever easy.
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
I’ve been thinking about this guy almost daily for ten fucking years. essentially my entire 30’s. when he finally croaks I imagine I’ll let out a sigh so deep it realigns my fucking spine
Happy Easter
The correct amount to like Dire Straits is like a 6.5 or a 7. The correct amount to think about Dire Straits is no more than once a month.
My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.
Not an April Fool’s prank—actually seeing Age of Innocence in the theater for the first time since it came out back in 1993(?!) as part of the Scorsese fest at @siff Cinema Uptown.
your reward for making a good movie is that you're forced to make worse versions of it forever
Thread of non-English Wikipedia articles about slang/idioms!!! Here's “Ketchupeffekt” from Swedish Wikipedia. They're all autotranslated to English in my browser
Line around the block at @siff Uptown for Goodfellas as part of the Scorsese festival tonight!
Time to bust this bad boy out—lead paint wont’t hurt you, right? #sonics #expansion #daydrunk
It’s that time of year once again to be reminded that there’s a Miami in Ohio.
Made up album called “Hello I’m the singer Bob Dylan” with various song listed like “Ramblin’ Bamblin’ Plamp”
My gosh, Bob Dylan looked so young on his first album.
every time someone in my field writes articles in support of these AI chatbots
oscar night always makes me so proud to live in this wonderful place full of artists and dreamers (roku city)
Eh they're okay but what audiences and critics REALLY want is what the new WB will give them: washed-up sex pests making ham-fisted agitprop to please a handful of depraved billionaires.
Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
