“Meet Indy The Dog, Star Of The Buzzy Horror Movie ‘Good Boy’” Believe me when I say that it tickles me utterly to have written this piece about a dog for a site with the word "beast" in its name.

Same energy as Blade entering a vampire nightclub, honestly.

Y’know: I never met the guy, but were he still among the living, I imagine he would die of a stroke seeing his name used as branding for a pursuit as antithetical to art as AI.

For all you poor souls (in my admittedly itty bitty network here on these Blue Skies) who don’t know Anni’s wonderful work, go here:

I’m already planning what I’m getting for the next tattoo. I forgot how much I love the experience and the afterword; I’ve woken up with a smile on my face every morning since the appointment.

Yeah, because Alexandra is (as the youths say) goated. I've said this before, and I'll say it again, but she's who I want to be when I grow up.

I waited 35 years to get my first tattoo, and another 6 to get my second. In other words: new ink, posted side-by-side with the original art (by @annijyn.com) for comparison; tattoo by Tiana Lee of Dorchester's Holistic Ink.

My god, you're right! His aides should strap a portable toilet to his bulbous ass at all times. That would solve all of his problems.

Did you hear that distant “splorch“ echoing all the way from DC? Why, I reckon he shit himself *just this moment*!

We’re kidding ourselves if we think it’s only the second time he’s shit his pants this month.

Meet Indy the Dog, Star of the Buzzy Horror Movie ‘Good Boy’ The hottest star in cinema right now is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever named Indy—and we landed an interview.

I did in fact e-meet GOOD BOY's Indy for a blink before he trotted off camera. He is a dog; he has better things to do. Humans don't, so Ben Leonberg and Kari Fischer and I had a good chat about Stephen King, John Carpenter, and animal companionship without him, for @thedailybeast.bsky.social.

I’m devotedly no longer picking fights on social media, but occasionally an upjumped dilettante publishes such a thunderously ignorant piece that I‘m compelled to say “go fuck the devil in Hell.”

So, Tommy Chit-Chat? This is an outrageous comparison; go fuck the devil in Hell.

Personally? I don't think that's silly at all. The film ends on a few tragic, heartbreaking notes, though I admit that this description shortchanges how rich the climax is in character and history and sensation. Great movie.

….aaaand now I realize I did not at all re-read my post before posting, to ensure my meaning got across. Mea culpa! I’m interested in what YOU have to say.

I can’t imagine anything I’m less interested in than box office takes for films like ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, which do not and should not exist for maximization of profit but rather for everything we embrace art for in the first place

"What you fail to see, Mr. Pope" is just about the lamest Bond villain gloating a rando on the internet could possibly come up with when *talking to the actual fucking Pope*

If you're blaming the Democrats for the shutdown of a government that is run entirely by Republicans, why stop there?

Go wild, man. Blame the shutdown on leprechauns, or the Seattle Mariners, or maybe the cast of "She's the Sheriff."

You've decided facts don't matter, so have some fun with it!

since AOC is not an author or journalist and this is all stream of consciousness on her socials, I am trademarking the phrase "abusive authoritarians beclowning themselves" for my own use, good night

So: the reason you're getting roasted here is that you chose to yowl at Marisa of all people, one of the few journalists working today who plainly does *not* care more about access and celebrity than holding power to account, so I can only assume you have no idea who she is or what she does.

I do not watch sports at all and I still feel this way as a Boston-adjacent MA resident. I want the Yankees to lose baseball games more than I want Scott Cooper to stop making movies.

This is the realest. Sage advice: hold your phone with the hand closest to the back of the couch. If you drop it, you just gotta go fishing in the cushions

In 2019, Watson established a legal advice line for women who experience sexual harassment in the workplace, something a person with no life experience would totally do.
