When facing a strong incumbent who is likely to win, both parties run weak candidates who "deserve their shot." Career pols that excite no one, like Bob Dole, John Kerry and Mitt Romney. Dems didn't think they could beat W so they didn't try.

A ★★ review of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (2025) This is allegedly a potboiler but I didn't see a single bubble. You couldn't cook ramen noodles on the heat this thing puts off. I hated Mary Elizabeth Winstead's Caitlyn Morales, largely because of t...

The Hand that Rocks the Cradle (2025) - or, when bad movies happen to good actors. ⭐⭐. #Letterboxd

God damn, David Byrne is glorious. So playful, fun, sincere. Surrounded by incredibly talented folks, too. My face hurts from smiling.

I’m so excited I can’t properly frame photos!

I’ll (probably not) see you there! But I’ll know we were in the same building.

Source Code and Oblivion are a great double feature!

a man is standing in front of a sign that says this is audrey Alt: The talking plant from little shop of horrors sings Feed Me Seymour.

Showed my daughter Little Shop of Horrors today. Practically perfect, the pinnacle of practical effects and dynamite casting.

Ah, so you're a noble warrior on a crusade to tell people what they already know, assuming they aren't doing anything to stop it and aren't aware of the problem?

Ok buddy.

I spent hours on my Old Flattop costume. Monkey finger, juju eyeball, toe jam football, Coca Cola squirt gun… nobody got it.

oh yes. I almost never venture beyond my OnlyPosts feed, which is just the original posts (no reposts),

The. Single. Thing. that makes Bluesky great is the lack of a fucking algorithm. I guess go ahead and make it like every other shitty site so I can be free of it?

My dude, you're breaking Wheaton's Law TO WHEATON'S FACE. Don't be a dick.

Yeah, I work in marketing and it's all "content consumption," which sounds like a disease, and "consuming content," which sounds like a Conehead describing eating.

When Dems are in power they support the social safety net, consumer protections, bodily autonomy, and LGBTQ+ rights.

When Republicans are in power they seek to dismantle all of the above.

They're not the same.

My last four - almost done with my Nightmare on Elm Street rewatch (reviewed them out of order but watched in sequence), and the new IKWYDLS is solid if not thrilling.

Wow, that's an impressive level of pedantry to make the same point I'm making. Enjoy your life.

Not following the context here.

All I can say is their chittering noises are enough to drive you mad.

It’s so hard to break their narrative that the streets were unsafe and the goon squads make it safer. But the truth is ICE and the rest make people demonstrably less safe.

We might have survived the Quinoa attack if they hadn't unleashed The Chitterlings.

We just need a bunch of seed money to start our marketing consultancy... but it's hard to raise money from billionaires to promote a no billionaires platform :)

The state of modern media:
I'm watching the Nightmare on Elm Street series.
HBO Max has all of them EXCEPT Freddy's Dead.
None of the 5 services I pay for has that one.
But I just got it on disc!
But they sent UltraHD instead of Blu-Ray.
But the box set came with a digital code!

Millions paid to consultants who all say "The party needs to tack further to the center to scoop up Republicans who don't like Trump." Which will never ever ever EVER work.

The absolute audacity of Sinners, the beautiful cinematography, performances, music- I barely blinked.

I’ll pay to watch Keeper but you’d have to pay me to watch Longlegs again.

Dealing with a severely clogged shower drain and I love how every piece of advice says "Don't pour harsh chemicals down the drain."

Even though we have a multi-million dollar industry and a whole aisle of Target specifically for chemicals to pour down a clogged drain.

Replace "work" with "twerk" in a song lyric!
