There was a creepy abandoned house between my home and my middle school that looked terrifying. We talked about it all the time but never knew anyone who dared go in it but more for how hazardous it looked than any legend.

You couldn't possibly piece together what John Carpenter's The Thing is about from Drew Struzan's poster, but that's what makes it a winner. It evokes a mood but says almost nothing about the film itself, preserving the mystery outside of the setting.

Newsom is all about publicity & nothing about integrity.
Itβs been depressing watching American ppl hero-worship a power crazed sell-out. Itβs not just Kimberly Guilfoyle & cosmetic surgery he has in common with the Trumps. READ this:

9. California may still pass progressive legislation, but leadership is measured not by symbolic gesturesβitβs measured by the courage to act when it matters. And when it came to the bill that could have made the most tangible difference for trans people this year, Gavin Newsom failed that test.

Gavin Newsom Vetoes Important HRT Stockpiling Bill For Trans Californians, Signs Other Pro-LGBTQ+ Bills
The bill would have allowed transgender people to maintain a safe supply of medication in the era of government crackdowns on care.
1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills.
Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats.

CBS aired a segment by Olivia Reingoldβa reporter for the Weiss-founded Free Pressβin which NYPD officers are worried about Mamdani, with some βconsidering retiring.β The evidence? Four unnamed officers quoted out of ~33,000.

The Mainstream Media Is Moving Right. Hereβs What We Can Do About It.
At The Washington Post, CBS, and maybe CNN, the trend line is terrible. But liberals do have the power to reverse these trends.
I didn't watch CBS News before Bari Weiss got there. I doubt you did either. But the mainstream media moving right really does matter, because of the mainstream media's collective powers of 1. agenda-setting and 2. framing. newrepublic.com/article/2016...

What can we do about mainstream media moving right? 1. Give up on some outlets (CBS) and embrace others (The Guardian) 2. Get alternative media to cover more hard news 3. Browbeat outlets into using their agenda-setting and framing powers better. newrepublic.com/article/2016...

I have never understood the resistance to this film. If it weren't for the MPAA cuts I think it would be more celebrated. It's a classic F13 film. No, Jason isn't the killer, but so what? Nor was he the killer in part one.

This shows a real disengagement with creative effort. The show and a decade or more of production work doesn't matter, the books and decades of work doesn't matter, what matters now is the ephemeral, jokey lulz of Monroe on a dragon reading a book.
