That was the first movie in several years which had me weeping uncontrollably by the end.

baseball posting is unambiguously good for Bluesky. not my thing but we desperately need some lighter topics round these parts

You look incredible + like you're about to crash a royal christening to lay a curse on the new baby.

Something I think we've memory-holed as a society to our detriment is that the "Party Rock Anthem" music video is a parody of 28 DAYS LATER.

I'm glad to see him returning from his post-SOLO Hollywood banishment (which wasn't his fault, talk about an impossible/thankless job).

California, don't forget to vote on Prop 50. Turnout is expected to be low, and we can't afford to unilaterally disarm while rightwingers pack congress.

Today on Project Gutenberg: "Last Night Out" The warzone is thousands of light years away. Try not to get murdered before you're shipped off.

It's time to analyze another text from @gutenberg.org!

I'm torn between "not every story is meant to be fun" and "not having fun with Alien sounds like a skill issue tbh"

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

Jesus Christ can someone pop the AI bubble already

At this rate we're gonna hear a story like "Ryan Coogler pitched an Episode 9 follow-up about Finn and Disney/Lucasfilm rejected it because they didn't remember who Finn was." #StarWars

BREAKING: Construction workers spotted building a giant golden onion dome on the roof of the White House. Speaker Johnson refused to comment, saying "The master bids me away, and I must answer! The blood is the life!" Chuck Schumer is reportedly "somewhat concerned."

The perfect dog costume doesn't exi--

It would've been even more had they kept the original script. Hoo boy!

I know "Golden" is the song that most people are probably going to root for. But this? This is the song that absolutely, 100 percent deserves to win.

I'm still not over the Hunt for Ben Solo thing. Imagine screwing up your main villain's redemption arc so badly that Steven Soderbergh writes a fix fic and then pitches it to you. AND YOU SAY NO.

"They didn't see how Ben Solo was alive."

This from the same series that gave us "Somehow Palpatine returned."

The character Feathers McGraw from the film "The Wrong Trousers".

Peaky Blinders meme: No fighting with regime-run accounts. No fucking fighting with regime-run accounts!

Who's your favourite Jedi? (Wrong answers only)

"Now, this heah 'mind trick' upon which the fulcrum of events rests... y'all are askin' me to believe that in the company of such august individuals, there ain't not one of y'all capable of puttin' up but all the token resistance required?"

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

Alex Garland (among many others) made a whole movie about why this is a terrible idea.

Also, I do not buy the explanation that "Father Figure" is about her old manager. To me it comes off way more like a fantasy about crushing the younger, up-and-coming female artists that will inevitably replace her.

I struggled to describe Showgirl at first, but eventually settled on "Taylor completes her metamorphosis into the Regina George of the music industry." Not that she wasn't that already, but the controlling, cruel, mercenary mean-girl behavior really popped out on this album.

indigenous peoples ' day is displayed on a knitted background Alt: "indigenous peoples' day" is displayed on a knitted background

Lest we make this day all about cursing a centuries-old dead guy, try to use this day to educate yourself on indigenous history and celebrate indigenous cultures. There's so much to experience!

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Me playing "Golden" on a loop so it overtakes Taylor Swift on the Apple Music charts:

a naked woman is dancing in a black and white photo . Alt: a scantily clad woman is dancing by holding out her arms and swaying her hips back and forth

Behold, an interpretive dance on the suckiness of transphobes.
