I should’ve said I was making a comment on how Aardman has always been a cynical cash-grab. (The overly cutesy animation style and stories always struck me as pretty lame!)

Incorrect! It is to make money

Actually it was yahoo dot com

My 15yo convinced my 11yo to watch The Fly with him. Apparently she loved it so much she wrote a review.

Also Zohran is keeping the grassroots network that put him in office together, because just getting a guy elected isn’t the end goal! act.ourtime.nyc/sign-up

This is incorrect. He accepted the light of Islam on his death bed.

Oyakodon is a Japanese dish made with chicken and egg. The name literally means “parent and child bowl.”

It’s disturbing (yet unsurprising) people who supposedly live to hate MAGA have taken on their worst qualities. Stuff like Karine Jean-Pierre’s book just encourages their delusions. It’s a death cult.

I have a fraught relationship with the term “body horror.” Yet I couldn’t resist writing about it for @criterion.bsky.social: www.criterion.com/current/post...

It’s so wild that white German guy successfully got away with using a black frontman for his singing like 20 years and then Milli Vanilli was somehow a bridge too far. Imagine the incredible songs we’d have if they kept going!!!

They couldn’t get away with doing this to any other minority group, which makes it even more sickening. Antisemitism takes many forms.

Yep, they do whatever they want and we just keep forking over the cash.

Our GUIDE FOR THE FILM FANATIC conversation with @violetlucca.bsky.social on David Cronenberg's THE DEAD ZONE, released on this day in 1983:

It’s kinda funny to get fired by your homely older brother. Rest in piss, Andrew!

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

It’s actually really exciting what a human brain can do compared to a large language model with rigid rules

Underrated reply

You forgot someone

these people are stealing from you and laughing at you

Yeah I wish there was a dad bod filter—OK Cupid used to have one. Bring it back you cowards!!!

I’ve seen it and this is the correct take

Be kind to yourself 🫂

One Battle After Another One Battle After Another unapologetically addresses the completely inexcusable injustices of contemporary American life while being incredibly funny, exciting, suspenseful, and poignant, particularly ...

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is a succinct description of organizing/activism, raising a kid, or just trying to exist in this fuckin’ country. I wrote about Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest for @reverseshot.bsky.social: reverseshot.org/reviews/entr...

I Filmed the ICE Officer Who Shoved a Woman. It Felt Like the New Normal. I arrived in the U.S. eight weeks ago to report on how the administration’s immigration crackdown was playing out from the front lines. What I saw Thursday was the culmination of ICE’s aggressive behavior.

Thanks, Peter!

Wow, I’m excited to hear what you think about how PTA uses your surroundings.

Oh I thought you meant it was literally a punchline. Nm!

And yeah, the idea that Bob, in the age of the internet, couldn’t look this up reinforces how he’s a piece of shit. But he’s a piece of shit who loves his daughter.

I recognize the thorniness of that topic, but this is something his wife experienced as the daughter of white dad who grew up without her black mom. (I’m reminded of how the use of “Les Fleur” in Inherent Vice was similarly personal.) That intimacy doesn’t seem like it’s ridicule or a joke.
