We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Oh fuck. Why did I check my phone when I woke up.

YES! I screamed!

what a shot

I continually remind myself that most normal, well-adjusted people just enjoy the things they enjoy without needing to hop on the internet and join The Discourse™️ about it. We’re the freaks.

This

Feels like a good time for another reminder that the vast majority of us will never ever forgive you dogshit Trump voters (and *marginally* less idiotic non-voters) for any of this fucking shit. I hope you eventually regret what you're putting the world through.

NEW YORK (AP) — Democrat Zohran Mamdani sworn in as mayor of New York City.

tweet reading: GAME TRAILER: “Enter a world beyond belief...” ME: “Yes” GAME TRAILER: “An adventure like never before...” ME: “YES” GAME TRAILER: “Join your friends online” ME: “I’m out”

i stand by this statement every year

Dear god, protect me from the Star Wars opinions of others.

Crying (very happily) about Zohran, don't mind me.

Guess I'm moving back!!! See you in 2027, NYC!

Earlier this year, I met a Croatian journalist who was in the US doing a piece on America’s politics and I asked her what surprised her. And she said, “What you all call the far left is just being normal.”

Oh my god, that extra hour of sleep is GLORIOUS. How does anyone even like spring, I really don't understand.

I put myself through watching both parts of "It" in preparation for the new series, and I'll say it again: Bill Hader completely steals Part II from everyone, including the clown.

(I genuinely can't post anymore about how awful things are. I see it, you see it, so instead I'm posting other stuff.)

C'mon, NYC! Do the thing (especially since I'm probably moving back if he wins)!!!

This is the best thing I've seen in months. I very genuinely almost cried-- it's very similar to when David Tennant went all "I'm the Doctor and everything's going to be okay".

WE HAVE FRIENDS EVERYWHERE! nokings.org

No, it's a FANTASTIC idea to watch a horror movie right before bed with my husband who has almost daily (nightly?) night terrors/sleepwalks. Clearly.

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait.

Does she ACTUALLY say "dickmatize" in that song or is the internet just fucking with me?

LIKE PLEASE TELL ME SHE DOES NOT SAY DICKMATIZE

Would I still like Halloween as much as I do if I wasn't translucently pale and garlic-intolerant? Would I have turned out to be a... *gasp* summer girl???

So... youtu.be/n_qbGJuxCYY?...

I know things are an actual nightmare IRL and I wanna make it clear that I care very much/take action when I can.

That being said, it's my favorite month in what has been a TERRIBLE year, so for my own mental health I need to double down on being a basic Halloween bitch and less... everything else.

New poster for one of my favorite @stevemartinreally.bsky.social films, The Jerk. Swipe to see the prop I made for the poster. I really hated this can. 🙃 #poster #art #thejerk #stevemartin #comedy #film

Need some good news?

THE SUMMER OF HELL IS OVERRRRRRR AND AUTUMN IS HERE!!!!!!!

(It might also be the Autumn of Hell because *gestures at everything* but at least we'll have pretty leaves and hoodie weather to help us through it.)

New poster I made for Weapons which is a fantastic film. If you haven’t seen it yet I highly recommend it. Other pics for the prop and backdrop I made.

Jesus CHRIST can this man write. (Once again, I am living in the best timeline where one of my favorite characters from my favorite movie was given a series and it was FANTASTIC... yet also the worst timeline because of literally everything else.) deadline.com/2025/09/ando...

I keep seeing people share Nemik's manifesto, but I think this speech from Cassian is pretty important right now too. (PS: I've loved him from the minute he stepped onscreen in Rogue One and seeing what he and his story has become for people is just... REALLY awesome.) youtube.com/shorts/f6AN1...
