My daughter is obsessed with Vincent Price, and I had no idea how amazing he was until she showed me this scene from “The Raven” where Price and Peter Lorre have a wine tasting contest. Absolutely without irony one of the great scenes in cinema history.

This is so lovely
I love Manhattan
Have you seen the old man and the gun? Strong recommendation from me
Fair bit
I knew the movie existed, and I was already a dad when it came out, so there’s really no excuse.
I watched “All Is Lost,” the movie where Robert Redford is stuck on a sinking boat in the middle of the ocean. Why had I not watched this film already? Why did I watch so many other films before I watched this film?
Wonderful friends only
Ok, that’s really neat.
I love nothing more than a store that has exclusively industrial shelving.
I saw the Magnet there! Hard to miss walking past a big old picture of Mantzoukas.
I want to go to there
I went to an office building in Manhattan and visited a store with a dozen kinds of fake dirt.

Me n' @jessethorn.bsky.social reviewed a fish-person-biker-gang-polycule-sex-thriller for the delightful and filthy READING SMUT podcast! maximumfun.org/episodes/rea...
Democracy’s back
I'm out here eating cottage cheese out of a dessert bowl like I was at a health spa in 1976
Go suck a lemon?
THANKS FOR SAYING IT AGAIN
We love when Judge @hodgman.bsky.social gets an episode about sports! Bailiff @jessethorn.bsky.social especially loves it the most.
"Predator: Bloodshed #1 was as strong a foundational, world-building first issue as it gets, mixing real-world social commentary covered in a bloody, sci-fi shell."
A great review of PREDATOR: BLOODSHED #1, written by @jordanmorris.bsky.social!
I’m pretty sure that the band Joyce Manor still consider their home club to be an unused room behind a Japanese convenience store in Torrance. I had such a great time talking with them.

I feel like maybe two out of three is but I guess that’s why I’m not a poetess
I figured out how to fit a week's clothes for cold, wet New York into a 32L backpack so I could roll a 50-pound electric blue checked bag full of merch and stagecraft onto the Long Island Railroad, so I hope if you are in Brooklyn you are coming to @judgejohnhodgman.bsky.social at the Bell House.
The honest truth is that given the best evidence, given a child with consistent and persistent gender difference and the consistent and persistent desire for medical intervention, the conservative path is to offer care. The radical choice is to deny it, based on ideology or stubbornness or cruelty.
