I hate thinking about Woody Allen, Mia Farrow, or Soon-Yi, but this exchange is worth drawing attention to.

Wild Hunny On The Shrouds, Hunny, Grok, Ani, and Elon Musk

Today I read @violetlucca.bsky.social’s piece on THE SHROUDS, Hunny the “extreme obsequiousness” of AI chatbots and how Cronenberg’s films are “extensions of what currently exists”. Have had this essay bookmarked for a while,& today of all days, I really needed it.

Yeah I could watch a screener of a new movie. Or I could watch a bad VHS rip of something that aired on British television and make my soul sing.

So much online “journalism” now relies on twisting what happened into the most hysterical outcome for the headline and having people only reading that and not the story itself (which does have proper qualifiers)

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!)

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

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.

Mutation as Metaphor: Body Horror’s Visceral Transformations Classics of the genre—including Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession and David Cronenberg’s The Fly—explore the gory extremes of corporeal experience.

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.
