Terminal Optimist

This Halloween, treat yourself to a criminally underrated gem and watch Psycho 2. Anthony Perkins turns in a performance for the history books in a movie that’s much more of a character study than the og and deserves to be listed with all time best sequels like T2, Bride of Frankenstein or TDK.

We need fewer folks resigning in protest and more keeping their jobs to gum up the works and leak to the press. If everyone who has principles quits, they’ll just fill that position with a fascist who doesn’t. Stay at your job, but be subtly incompetent please. Let THEM fire YOU.

Did it ever occur to you that Venice moviegoers might just be easy to impress?

I’m confused by what the right thinks the left was getting from the Cracker Barrel brand refresh.

I’m beginning to think fascism is the end result of social media as a system.

Maroon 5 has been music written by AI since before we had AI. #maroon5

Why does teslas board even want Elon in charge?

While the national guard has been deployed in DC, this is your friendly reminder to keep talking about how Trump is for sure in the Epstein files, and how this is just a distraction from that.

It’s a bummer when a grown ass man can’t figure out how to google something he doesn’t understand. And then becomes governor.

I read Pitchfork but so many of their reviews feel like they’re written by a high school kid who’s too cool to like anything and kind of a troll. They’re better at that angle than a lot of other publications, and I’ve found some great music through them, but I feel like I’m negged into reading them.

TMNT was right… 🐢 🐈‍⬛

-sure but the parties switched sides on the issue over the course of the civil rights movement
-see above
-this one’s just a lie
-see the first point
-Absolutely, fuck Robert Byrd, but also Stephen Miller makes policy for the Republican Party currently, so what’s your point?

And so it will be with Teslas robots. Surplused into government contracts.

Best portrayal of Gotham in a movie

He is what he says on the tin, I guess.

I would appreciate it if you were more willing to engage in discussion in good faith. I understand you took umbrage with my comment, but you won’t win me over to your point of view by insulting me.

I heard Newsome is friends with the Stingray that killed Steve Irwin. Had him on his podcast and everything.

God saved Trump but let Steve Irwin die? Fuck him.

Mike Johnson is such a weird little freak.

I lived for years using my floor as a wrinkly hamper and I mostly don’t regret it

This man’s skull has more mush than brain.

So an X-men 2 reference is going to date me, but this is the “have you tried NOT being a mutant?” of doctor behavior.

A page from the comic Preacher that I think applies-

Totally. Part of my adhd exhibits as a constant buzz of anxiety with intermittent depression, and there’s right around a billion reasons to be anxious and depressed and unfocused in modern America.

One of those “don’t meet your hero’s” moments they talk about.
