100%. And the Season 2 finale is my personal benchmark for chilling viewers to the bone.

Ahead of its time. What a hit it would’ve proved if launched in the era of “Peak TV”.

A close friend of 25 years JUST revealed to me this past Xmas that he’s a background extra in this very scene! He’s a blurry bartender in the background. I remain astonished that he NEVER mentioned it before.

In first, CIA acknowledges 1953 coup it backed to overthrow leader of Iran was undemocratic While other American officials have made similar remarks in the past, the acknowledgment by the CIA in a podcast about the agency’s history comes as much of its official history of the coup still rema...

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

Ugh. Can sympathize. Shattered my elbow in an ice fall 15 years ago… You can still feel a bunch of tiny fractures. Wishing you a speedy and — relative to my experience — a complete recovery.

Stop pretending a group of people doesn't exist just because you don't know how to convince your child to hate them the way you do.

Children need to be old enough to understand not to tell their friends “My parents think your family is gross and bad” because that would embarrass the parents.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

The fact that the cross she proudly displays as she openly lies to America daily, in service of a war-mongering, convicted felon and credibly accused pedo, doesn't burn into her skin like she was a vampire, tells you all you need to know about "crosses" and the people that display them.

When I was a kid, my mom and I were driving through our suburban neighborhood when we witnessed an escaped convict ripping a middle-aged woman out of her car in broad daylight. He was still wearing his orange jumpsuit.

I once did this podcast, and long story short, one of the hosts theorized that if Godzilla had dialogue, *every* time he appears onscreen he’s screaming the same thing:
“HEARD YOU WERE TALKING SHIT”

Re-watched a couple months ago for the first time since the theatre, and I was surprised how much I really liked it. Certainly helped coming off of seeing The Friends of Eddie Coyle for the first time. :)
