Malcolm (1986) HD Official Trailer

Malcolm (1986) is also the first film where you might have heard β€œMusic for a Found Harmonium,” which later became famous as a theme from Napoleon Dynamite.

TIL that the villain in Darkman (1990) was the star of the Australian film Malcolm (1986), which is only the greatest neurodivergent heist comedy EVER.

You should check out the Sun Ra documentary that hit American Masters a few weeks ago!

And here I thought this regime was just sinking boats and killing all hands on board because their god Moloch demands human souls.

β€œZohran Mamdani’s leftist allies malign homeownership,” the Atlantic claims. Let me guess: Some kid who uses Proudhon as his avatar on the other site tweeted β€œproperty is theft.”

β€œLook, we’ll let you put this Revelation at the end, but you need to give US something, too. How about you drop your filibuster against James?”

I’m guessing β€œMamdani’s leftist allies” are kids who just got done with their first RevComm meeting and are still coming down from the ideological high.

I imagine you have some juicy left-wing quotes maligning home ownership, which you can now share with the class.

Bring a bottle of red wine, in case she doesn’t have her own! Make sure it gets opened.

Like, I was only able to dress up as a redshirt because you and Tor went and had Zazzle do up a batch of red shirts with the UU logo!

I confess, I’m taking satisfaction that the MAGA dumbasses who think it’s a point of honor to drive F-150s in an urban environment are going to be paying $300+ every time they fill the tanks of their emotional support vehicles. (And yeah, that also goes for urban F-150 owners who aren’t MAGA.)

Wait, the β€œI think the war is pretty much over” line was from another phone interview, and the post-market bell presser hasn’t even happened yet?

I choose to believe that Rep. Clark is calling Andy Ogles a β€œdisgusting shit” here, and I’m prepared to let her cook.

As a New Yorker, I leave that up to Californians, in much the same way that I don’t care what any of you outside the city think about my awesome new mayor. πŸ˜€

I would simply tell the president that they were such beautiful shoes that dirty hippies* had stolen them from me or else of course I would be wearing them.

I love that bit in Messiah of Evil (1973) where one of Tom’s traveling companions decides she’ll head up to San Francisco where β€œMickey will take me in” and the other woman asks β€œWho’s Mickey? and she says, β€œHe’s a drummer.” In jokes: Always Funny!

I could have sworn that when I joined Bluesky all those years ago, the promise of an Amy Siskind-free information landscape was inherently on offer.

Let’s be honest: She’s not going to ask a foreign visitor to the United States who they voted for because she couldn’t name the leaders of any other country in the world even if you put cash on the line.

Wars of incidental liberation. Or not. (Part 3) American power has always been the defense of human freedom β€” not this limp dick bloodlust and adulation of the behavior of our enemies

β€œTo anyone who understands that great power is not defined by destructive kinetic excellence but by what we build with our moral weapons, the bloodlust & crusader-speak is a pathetic mimicry of what we might actually achieve by directing our operational might toward the necessary fields of battle.”

John Rogers, speaking of the U.S. military assault on Iran, writes, β€œThe combination of deep stupidity and insecurity over their masculinity really makes this a special crew in American history.”

And then this Onion headline: β€œICE Agent Injured After Repeatedly Trying To Detain People In Neighborhood Mural.”

This synchronicity of @johnrogers.bsky.social and @theonion.com on my timeline made my groggy, daylight saving-ruined afternoon.
