The hardest working guild in Karazad- the embalmers. The potent tannins found in the vast peat bogs north of the city are the primary drivers of preservation, but salt and oil also come into play once the cadavers emerge from their long immersions

Pizzagate: If you replace the word β€œhot dog” with β€œlittle boy” and β€œpizza party” with β€œchild sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

Definitely worth the big screen if you can get out there. We ended up seeing it at imax since Tues is half price and it was cheaper than the average hoyts/event.

They made a gat-dang found family buddy cop comedy out of the Predator franchise and it ended up being one of the best yet. What a time to be alive. I really loved it. Great soundtrack, goopy monsters, kinetic action scenes, didn't lose itself in The Lore, very close to a tight 90. Fantastic.

"I will not die a monster."

Alfred Molina's nuanced performance as Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2 may very well be the chief reason as to why it's my favorite superhero movie.

If anyone is looking for something to recommend for any awards you might be associated with, "Reading Weird Fiction in an Age of Fascism" by Zachary Gillan @megapolisomancy.bsky.social deserves all the awards. Essential reading.

I did really enjoy the movie, but I agree with the assessment; I feel like he used to love the monsters as both monsters and victims, lately he'd tacked too hard into the latter and it's softened them to a level that borders on the twee.

Mary Beard live is such a treat. I'm always going to be a Roman history nerd and she is so perfectly attuned to what I love about it, the normal people, instead of HARD MEN DOING STOICISM AND SHIELD WALLS AND DECISIONS. Failed poets, chariot circuit stars and roguish housewives are more fun by far.

Three old nuns squatting in their shuttered convent, and pissing off the local church powers that be, is the most punk nun thing I've ever read about.The new pope is from Chicago, where labor has often fought the bosses. If he doesn't come out on the nuns side, he loses all of his Chicago cred.

Whole article is great but extra lol at the David Brooks pull quote about people becoming alienated not by the deliberate actions of modern society but because they read Foucault once in university.

unfortunately this kind of line is always going to hit for me. it's never not satisfying.

okay I try not to judge anything by its cover but sometimes I pick up an album based on the art and I am justly and rightly rewarded

They won't tell you this, but you can watch obscure and esoteric spooky movies outside of October. You can do it year round if you want. It'll make you healthy and strong like an ox.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.
