I just meant in terms of vibes. When I watched AVP1, at no point did I think “this could be a Halloween or Friday the 13th movie.”

When I saw the aliens and predator in Requiem stalking generic interchangeable teenage victims in a generic town, I thought “this could be any other slasher movie.”

one of the political lessons of the last few years is that it can be difficult to convince people that dems are influenced by corporations just as much as republicans are, but oh man people need hardly any convincing at all that dems care more about their vacation time than their constituents needs

People in the UK aren't getting transphobia from weird niche online communities.

They're getting it from the prime minister, the BBC, politicians and the newspapers in every newsagents in the country.

Requiem, for most of its runtime, could have been literally any slasher film.

AVP1 could not have been anything other than an Aliens vs. Predator movie.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Another week of calling begins. Be sure to also include Sammy’s Law – H.R.2657, App Store Accountability Act – S.1586, and Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act – S.836 in your calls.

For Wisconsin users, also call your state Senators about the VPN Ban Bill SB-130 /AB-105.

"Per compliance policy, certain AI-generated fields cannot be updated by clinical staff" is a managerial decision that will lead to prolonged suffering and preventable death. Having to escalate these fuck-ups to be reviewed by higher levels within the bureaucracy is a waste of time and resources.

Saying “reading books in public is performative” is a very quick and simple way to communicate to me that you are a stupid little pig I do not need to listen to and in that sense I appreciate it

My mistake. Ever since Disney Animation Studio stopped doing 2D animation, I’ve had no reliable way to keep them separate in my head and now I pretty much just assume every animated Disney movie is Pixar.

We have to keep shoveling all money, labor, water, and the environment into this mulcher so it will one day attain sentience and solve climate change, the first of which is impossible and the latter is a problem we have known the cause of and solution to for over a hundred years

So denounce Schumer and the eight Democrats who crossed the party line. They are every bit as responsible for what happens next as the GOP are.

Always thought NNN was a dumb trend anyway. All animal life has evolved over billions of years to do two things: Consume nutrients and bust nuts. Who are we trying to fool with this nonsense?

I hope the next generation of parents is able to understand the difference between a cartoon made for kids and a cartoon made for adults, because Jesus Christ it is getting tiring reading headlines like this.

First big team, "The Infamous"! This team was established to give powered individuals with troubled pasts a fresh start. With the exception of Snowma'am, who is largely there just to set a good example for everyone else.

I love the “ragtag hero team of antiheroes and villains” trope. DC’s Task Force X, Marvel’s Thunderbolts. I planned a spin-off to my novel Paragons to be centered on one, too.

It was pretty middle-of-the-road as a superhero movie *and* a Pixar movie, tbh.

What if you stabbed a vampire with a stake made from that fake plastic wood stuff and they actually died because of the placebo effect?

This wasn’t about leaking GTA VI.

It was:
Rockstar illegally firing union members to stop the studio from unionizing.

it directly contradicts Rockstar’s PR narrative and confirms almost everything that people suspected was going on.
