I love fucked up Elves. Don't get me wrong, the perfect, noble elves are just as intriguing, but when elves are weird and a little too on their high horse, that shit slaps

Pictured are 3 DVDs: a double feature of both versions of Footloose, the cover of each showing the characters dancing behind the movie neon font title; Batman Year One, with the Caped Crusader flying in through his own black silhouette-like bat symbol; Angels in America, the two-part HBO production of Tony Kushner's acclaimed play about life in the United States during the AIDS epidemic.

The covers of 3 biographies. From left to right: James Wong Howe, The Camera Eye, about the legendary cinematographer; Jim Henson, The Biography, by Brian Jay Jones, the cover showing Henson in his early 40s, with Kermit the Frog perched on one shoulder and Ernie from Sesame Street standing in front of him; the cover of John Cassavetes' Lifeworks is dominated by a blue-tinged black and white photo of the filmmaker holding a 35mm film camera on his shoulder

The blatant bigotry of this has already been covered, but "we're not making therapy" is pretty rich from the guy who made for example UP and INSIDE OUT.

An old ex told me that he didn't believe in 'paying someone to talk to' but wanted us to call so he could essentially trauma dump about his mom with dementia and his bad marriage.

The tree is still up. The plan was to have it down by DST. I like having the extra light for dark nights but March is a little silly. But fuck the haters. November 1 to March Whatever isn't the worst thing in the world. Will I actually take it down today?

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

the clock is telling me LIES

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

i hate this stupid fucking system more than anything in the world. a system that benefits nobody, actively harms everybody, could be changed at literally any point in time, YET WE STILL KEEP DOING THIS MADNESS ANYWAY. YEAR AFTER YEAR WE DO THIS STUPID SONG AND DANCE FOR NO GOD DAMN REASON

I know the later sunset will. But I'm up early, too. I hope this is the rule and not the exception, bc DST usually fucks my shit up for a month.

DST fuck me up for at least a month. That being said, I was asleep at 1130 and am awake now (7 but really 6). I've got to try to do this tonight, so I'm not bleary-eyed tomorrow morning.

remember to set your clocks tonight. time begins at 2 am

hey sorry i couldn't help but notice you're trans on account of your halo and your beautiful, delicate wings

anyone else having a hard time concentrating

this is obviously an extreme one but man I can't even count the number of times I've woken up to some horrific breaking news this year

My health insurance charges different copays depending on how they rate the doctor. Like my Endo is $80 a visit!! So I need to find another, in the heath system I prefer, and pray it's not a six month wait. 😬🫤😒

My favorite emoji is 😅 because to me it means nervous laughter and that's the most appropriate emoji for almost everything I say or do. Second is 😬 which I mean as a grimace like cringey or embarrassing, for me or someone else.

In one four-day period in March 2025, engineers logged 205 maintenance calls. Sailors reported working up to 19-hour days to fix leaks and restore suction, with problems in a single head capable of disabling an entire section of the ship. Since 2023, the Navy has carried out at least 10 acid flushes, each costing about $400,000, though the procedure cannot be performed while the carrier is underway.

The sailors on the USS Gerald Ford who keep stuffing their t-shirts into the toilets so the bathrooms flood and the carrier can’t deploy to Iran should be awarded a collective Nobel Peace Prize

(with barely contained rage) I'm going to have a nice weekend

To my trans folks online: no matter how many cowards you encounter or observe, you are, and have always been worth fighting for.

my cup size? reese's

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

FCC calls for more 'patriotic, pro-America' programming in run-up to 250th anniversary The Pledge America Campaign urges broadcasters to focus on programming that highlights the historic accomplishments of this great nation from our founding through the Trump Administration today.

Now the Federal Communications Commission is actively telling broadcasters what to put on their airwaves, not just responding to complaints about content. This feels like a whole chapter from the authoritarian playbook. https://loom.ly/tTz0NfA

btw if Canada wants to retaliate by burning the White House down again that's fine

Canada gives America one gay hockey show and they start winning games

(handing the most heartbroken, disgusted-looking hockey player a stuffed animal) congratulazioni! enjoy the stoat

he wrapped this one up in about 30 seconds. you figure there are about one million kids enrolled in new york city schools. if he spends ten hours a day on the phone, seven days a week, he will have personally informed every child of tomorrow's snow day by the spring of 2028
