I mean, at the moment there’s only one that comes to my mind.

remember that the war on porn is also a war on LGBTQIA+ people, artists, people of color, free speech, small businesses...

corporations being able to control what kind of art we're allowed to see on the internet is bad

If you claim you were a hippie in the '60s and you spend all your time today railing about how woke young people are ruining the world, I have news for you: you were never a hippie. You were just cosplaying.

In addition to "slop" being a term that provides no actual substantial film analysis of any kind, if you told me the term originated from Harry Knowles or Jeffrey Wells, that wouldn't surprise me.

Do you want to sound like Knowles and Wells? Didn't think so.

That's such massive bullshit. The idea that mainstream hits just aren't being released on physical media is so incredibly short-sighted and stupid, especially as people are realizing all the flaws in streaming and starting to want physical copies of things again.

Yes!

Tom the lizard from Hoppers (2026), as seen in the post credits scene of Elio (2025), as he repeatedly presses the lizard emoji on a phone, making it say “Lizard!” every time he presses it. Just saying “Lizard!” a bunch of times has become maybe the silliest vocal stim I’ve ever had.

This MF has lived in my head rent free for the past few months. No thoughts, only 🦎.

As strange as it is despite the chaos of the world, I’ve been feeling a lot less stressed than I usually have been. It’s an odd feeling, but being less cynical lately as well as not being anxious all the time has really helped me a lot. I really have been feeling happy.

I still adore the movie we got with all my heart and that’s not gonna change, but yeah, I think it underperforming may as well have been a necessary evil here, as much as I hate to say it.

The UK's Online Safety Act is a licence for censorship – and the rest of the world is following suit | Taylor Lorenz From the US and Australia to France and Italy, those seeking to obliterate privacy and restrict content are on the move, says technology journalist Taylor Lorenz

We must refuse to allow the U.S. government and the media to normalize mass censorship in response to a manufactured moral panic about technology and social media.

If I were to envision it onscreen, musically it’d lean closer to The Wiz, just with a lot more synth.

And now I’ve been unable to get the image of Elio and Glordon doing a killer rendition of “Ease on Down the Road” out of my mind.

Lately I’ve been feeling an irresistible urge to write an Elio take on The Wizard of Oz. Not like, exactly that same story, but more the overall conceit of Elio filtered through that template.

And yes, I’d queer-code the hell out of it. :D

Great idea. Mastercard DID NOT WANT to be brought up negatively in the context of their sponsorship of Riot's esports

Weaponize that against them

Keep up the pressure! #SaveSpeech

VISA and MASTERCARD are now refusing all calls related to their policy changes. So call up as a concerned shareholder, prepared to short-sell their shares to reduce financial harm and loss to their portfolios.

They're trying to ignore us. Don't let them.

Evangelical Censorship is death to progress

what a fun, funny, adorable movie.

A Google alert announces Chappell Roan concert tickets, but the image is of Weird Al

You sure about this, Google?

Watching The Incredibles in the age of AI completely recontextualizes the film in the best way.

I don't think this movie was ever intended as an objectivist screed, but as a call to arms for creative people!

Dystopian cyberpunk update: the TikTok algorithm is actively suppressing news about massive protests in LA so people are getting around it by tagging it as a 24 Hour Music Festival and then you search that hash tag so you see ppl in riot gear facing down tear gas talking bout the festival is lit

I'm treating the new season not just as another season, but a call to arms against the administration as well as Paramount themselves to an extent cause they're currently still under PR hot water after having their first post-merger press conference on Thursday with a lot of backlash against them...

Someone call the Smiling Friends crew. They need to redo the Fallon interview with Mr. Frog cuz clearly he'd laugh his ass off at whatever offensive slur he said behind the censor beep.

I just hope the Pixar higher-ups learn that removing certain elements from a film won’t automatically raise it chances of being profitable.

Y’know, as much as it sucks that Elio flopped at the box office, I can at least rest knowing that Pixar isn’t giving up on originals and does plan to balance them with sequels.

Some folks have a moral compass
Others a finger in the wind

That compass is essential when you find yourself in the proverbial wilderness

Don’t. Do not. Do literally anything other than this. See a licensed therapist. Get a plant. Volunteer at an animal shelter. Shitpost 24 hours a day on Bluesky. Anything but this.

Fuck CBS and Paramount and David Ellison. Cowards. Collaborators. Propagandists.
