TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

Seconded.

Ah, this is a really good challenge. I would have to pick any of the Alexander Ptushko features (_The Sword and the Dragon_, _The Day The Earth Froze_, _Magic Voyage of Sinbad_); the terrible prints and dubbing obscure their remarkable brilliance. @deafcrocodile.bsky.social can confirm!

I was inspired

We hereby retire the “record scratch-Freeze frame-You may be wondering how I got here” meme.

It’s over. It will never be topped by this image.

Verily

it's two things: a) Mamdani has levels of charisma Whitmer can only dream of having, and b) Whitmer went in there to capitulate immediately and Mamdani went in there to nod and smile politely bsky.app/profile/figg...

Could not be prouder to see Lucio Fulci shooting across the street from my Uncle Jack’s old house, yo

he never looks at JD that way

God the man’s brain is like a sieve

They are so funny. Our neighbors are being stuffed into unmarked vans, and they’re all like let’s vote against a term we probably can’t define instead.

he’s trying to catch em all, call that American Kanto oh my god I’m so broken Jesus christ

I just had a thick Chicago accent appear in my brain -

'It was fifteen minutes of hardcore gay pornography.'

“Yes, my favorite movie IS ‘Cruising.’ Why do you ask?”

The Limey? He lets Peter Fonda live at the end, though he does a lot of damage along the way.

I feel what you’re saying, truly.

Oh dear. I remember hearing of that. I'm so sorry.

Of course I do this not out prurience or sleuthing - for whatever reason this one just stuck with me. It's terrible to be almost forgotten.

Quite sad and upsetting, so it sounds odd to offer thanks. But thanks. I have a disappeared friend in my life, Susan Walsh, whose vanishing remains a mystery (and has been covered, sometimes well, sometimes not, by varied media entities).

Any appetite for me to tell a ghost story of sorts later? It’s about a crime, but if you’ve been around me long enough I hope you know I’m not a ‘true crime’ person.

Telling the story feels like it might be a good deed.

happy trans day of remembrance. you are beautifully and wonderfully made and I will never stop fighting for you. the world is better because you are in it

Jacob Rees-Mogg & his nanny look like the villain & his sidekick in a Bond movie directed by Wes Anderson

Love Cavett - he does a four-part interview with Richard Burton that starts slow and kind of basic and ends at just one of the most transcendent places.

Betty Mackereth, Philip Larkin's feisty long term secretary, immortalised in the 1962 poems Toads Revisited, has passed away today aged 101. Betty was a great supporter of the Philip Larkin Society. We send our condolences to her family.

Quick question why are experienced adults still being disingenuous about politesse in public life and its attendant hypocrisies?

This is cool.

It is particularly galling that Trump is calling for the execution of people who actually served honorably in the military, while he took a bone spur exemption and famously boasted that his Vietnam was dodging syphilis in 70s New York.

Just a historically loathsome figure by any measure.
