Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

i often think about this review

The french fry robot from McDonald's happy meal

one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny

We all know and love the airport as the place we go to cough on each other. But if you purchase a ticket you can also use it to get to other cities

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

THE FRONT-RUNNER Californias Gavin Newsom would rather be wrong than weak. By Helen Lewis (Header for an Atlantic article about Gavin Newsom, it features a picture of him looking like a real smart politics guy)

“GAVIN NEWSOM HAS A 30-PAGE FILE of reasons the Democrats lost the 2024 presidential election. Bounding across his Sacramento office, he starts listing them: incumbency, inflation, interest rates, Israel—and that's just the letter I. "Yes, too woke," he adds. "Yes, 107 days, referring to the short campaign after Joe Biden's forced withdrawal. But the California governor distills his party's problem down to one word. *Weak.*” (On the last paragraph the text starts to fade from black to gray)

“Newsom slaps his hand on a marked-up hardback of Bill Clinton's memoir, brought down from the shelf a minute earlier. "Given the choice," he tells me, summing up a crucial Clinton insight—one many Democrats still can't quite seem to grasp—"the American people always support strong and wrong versus weak and” (The text gets lighter and lighter until you can barely read it, that’s how huh kiwi you’ve hit that paywall baybay)

The text faded to the paywall at the same rate as my eyes would have glazed over anyway

He who sets out to "get my ass" should dig two graves (one for each cheek)

a rad ass, sick ass lego Bionicle set with four arms brotha

i'm more nostalgic about the bionicle toys i didn't have as a kid than i am about my first girlfriend lolol. i blame the state of the world for retrospectively shuffling my priorities

trump: prices are down. we're living deliciously. it's beautiful

kilmeade: democrats say you met with black phillip-in essence the devil. can you squash that rumor?

trump: i won't say who but we had a conversation that might be one of the most wonderful conversations in terms of the things we said

Also here's a first look post on the WIP Steller's Sea Cow

Been neglecting bluesky. Mostly post on Instagram, which I hate but i have a boomer/Facebook relationship with.
Anyway: here's the finished clay version of a Columbian Mammoth! Body made from CosClay, tusks made from Green Stuff

A screenshot of a post from r/nostalgia with a blurry picture of a Christmas tree (dated 11/23/2013) and the caption "Why doesn't Christmas feel like magic anymore? Do you remember the joy of baking cookies and decorating a Christmas tree with your family?"

Because you're an adult you fucking muppet. You gotta pay the magic forward.

USAID shutdown has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health The Trump administration’s decision to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths from infectious diseases and malnutrition, accord...

Elon Musk and the Trump administration gleefully shutting down USAID “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.”

People throw around terms like genocide quite freely online but it’s hard to find other words to describe this level of man-made death.

All that grad school and you didn’t even learn that it’s different when I do it

Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

Sending love to everyone whose health care has been jeopardized by the Democratic cave-in. These Democratic elites will not be part of the solution. We must proceed with that understanding.

Little girl was always in the way 🥲 RIP Minnie 🌹💔

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene

RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth*

A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel”

Person watching on tv: well if they say so

I think liberals say stuff this dumb bc it doesn't require analytical intelligence, or even sincere belief, to be a liberal in the current world order

Thinking about how bad my mental health was in 2020 is funny in retrospect. I remember being briefly convinced that I had died one night, and like... That was pretty fucked, but now it's just a story I tell over drinks when everyone else is sharing how they dealt with the Horrors™

a man famous for argument, yet incapable of or unwilling to debate anyone society deemed intelligent enough to rent a car, RIP
