Crush with Eyeliner

there is no better view in otd than a screen that looks like this

Gustave Dore illustration of a scene from The Marriage of Geraint.

About halfway through Idylls of the King, and I’m really astounded by Tennyson’s ability (and even desire!) to create meaningful, turbulent interior lives for female characters who, in Mallory and even Chretien de Troyes, are largely automatons.

love is pretty epic

long live venezuela, down with the imperialist ghouls

sometimes you have to balance how long you’ve followed someone on the internet with how little you care about Doctor Who

bob cratchit fucks

what a world, what a world

I got my flu shot and I looked like shit in a hot way.

seeing Angel’s Egg on a movie screen in 30 minutes. what a world.

about to see NIGHT OF THE FUCKIN HUNTER on the big screen let’s gooooo

thank god for space funeral

seeing The Summer Hikaru Died succeed amidst all the isekai gooner-bait anime is a much-needed note of hope for art

hi i’m alive doing lesbian cosplay on the el

i love the jackson films but the way bakshi drew the nazgûl is peak

The Phantom of the Paradise

circa. 2022

I noticed this in the Pelosi -> Jeffries replacement. The “next generation” of Dem leadership is so visibly ineffectual and senior Dems have shown little interest in boosting them

Watching Don Siegel’s The Killers. Has anyone in American cinema been better at brutalizing women than Lee Marvin?

those goddamn minovsky particles

it doesn’t make sense. luddite foreign policy with technophile domestic policy

the white american male will overlook almost anything if you give them a steady job with a certain amount of dignity

so i think it all rides on whether trump can give them that.

and yeah. with the the tech cuddling it looks like they’re going in the opposite direction.

i think it all depends on how much butter they’re willing to give to their voter base. the nazis were smart about that. but with things like the DOGE i don’t see much material gain for trump’s base anytime soon.

a lot (all, maybe?) depends on if manufacturing jobs come back here in the next 2 years

admittedly rationing was also accompanied by a shocking increase in quality of life, good jobs and generous government welfare programs so that probably helped make the medicine go down. trump doesn’t have that.

i hope it fails! and maybe it’s a long shot. but i could see him pulling it off. messaging is his greatest skill
