THE BIG LEBOWSKI. I was a huge Coen Bros fan, and I also loved film noir. A friend got me the script while it was still in production & I just didn’t get it. Saw the movie opening weekend. Didn’t get it. Didn’t dislike it, just didn’t get it. Saw it on DVD a year later… & TOTALLY got it. A favorite.

And the same animation style. Brutal.

South Park is getting canceled after this lmao.

Tonight’s episode… OMG

YouTube video by South Park Studios The PSA contains synthetic media

Holy crap, #SouthPark. I really didn’t think Matt & Trey had it in them…

In a night of pure magic with the incomparable @thejoedante.bsky.social and some gremlin friends, we had the best time at our sold out screening of GREMLINS 2 on 35mm (big shout out to our projectionists who helped make the night so unforgettable)

Yes! My show only exists incomplete, on hard drives somewhere. 2 1/2 years of work… pfft!

Man, this product we made sucks and makes the world so much worse. Please use it.

I know how this feels… ooof. Sorry, man.

He literally refused to allow his paper to endorse Kamala Harris, and demanded a false equivalency “balance” on the editorial page, leading to resignations and thousands of lost subscribers, including me. And Stewart doesn’t ask about that AT ALL. Embarrassing.

How does Jon Stewart on #TheDailyShow go from ripping media conglomerates new a-holes for kowtowing to Trump, to the point of doing a “go fuck yourself” revival style song, to rolling over for his guest who is literally running the LA Times into the ground with his pro-Trump editorial meddling?

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

@lastword.msnbc.com needs to play this clip, lol

Did Trump have his #LonesomeRhodes moment this week? #AFaceInTheCrowd

A 1940 newspaper clip from the Springfield Leader and Press, declaring: Superman Poisoning American Children, Irate Nazis cClaim."

"Superman Arouses Teutonic Anger" reads the headline in the Amarillo Daily News"

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before?

That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators.

My how times change ...

I use em dashes, semicolons, colons, and ellipses all day long. I will use every tool in the box, to hell with the LLMs!

That should be an alarm clock sound. Nothing gets you out of bed with a jolt of adrenaline like the sound of your cat about to barf on your rug…

And a piece of set dressing from THE BIG LEBOWSKI!

Among other things, I also own a Kodalith cel from TRON and an animation cel from AKIRA.

I own this “Dead Ted” Keanu Reeves costume from BILL & TED’S BOGUS JOURNEY. At one time it fit me perfectly, lol.

Very striking how every right-wing conspiracy freakout was just a prophecy of what they planned on eventually doing - whether it was Jade Helm or FEMA camps, the moment they had the opportunity to make these imaginary monstrosities they came up with come to life, they did

“…and then Commander Riker said ‘Fire’ and we had to wait A HUNDRED YEARS to find out what happened next!”

🌌 Recently, we had the chance to interview @stevenmelching.bsky.social about his work on Star Wars Resistance, including writing the episodes "The Disappeared," "Into the Unknown," and "Breakout," as well as the unreleased episode "The Lost Book."

For the record, while I wrote that episode and I am very proud of my interpretation of the Penguin, the Kabuki Twins were the creation of showrunner Duane Capizzi!

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

This right here is pure unadulterated hypocrisy.

This is the GOP way.

The original post is still up, but I took a screenshot just in case the puppy killer decides to delete it.

No Kings On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

Trump is deploying the National Guard in LA.

Trump is holding a massive military parade on his birthday next Saturday.

Read between the lines.

It had NEVER been more essential for Americans to SHOW UP and PEACEFULLY protest the wannabe dictator.

Show up for No Kings Day on 6/14.

PASS IT ON!
