The irish presidential election is basically now between "dog fighting transphobe" and "woman who destroys children in soccer matches"

I will be voting for Connoly in support of her war on childrens egos.

Poster for the 2006 film Wilderness, a large set of jaws of perhaps a bear frame the title, surrounded by darkness with perhaps some visible wall like background in the upper corners.

Checking in with MJ Bassett for my next movie.

Interesting. I’m not getting it on mobile, have not tried desktop.

Ireland.

Huh still not working for me.

Screenshot from the Bluesky app, labelled Explore at the top left, an option to see All languages at the top right. In the search bar the word ‘bluesky’ is written. Below that are the tabs (left to right) Top, Latest (highlighted), People and Feeds. Below them is the result: ‘No results found for bluesky’

Search not working for anyone else?

the screengrab from One Battle After Another that i still really need is Leo crying on the phone saying “I’m a drug and alcohol lover!”

I also think about it. Lot going on there

grim example, but the last public guillotining in France took place two months before The Wizard Of Oz premiered and was witnessed by Christopher Lee

Screenshot of a WhatsOnStage page, with a search bar (on which “Search Shows & Articles” is written.) Beneath that is a wall of text that begins and ends mid-sentence: “as well as Puccini – it's worth remembering that when Dmitri Shostakovich, arguably the greatest composer of the 20th century, saw Superstar in London shortly before he died (twice, on successive evenings) he lamented that he could not have written something similar himself, admiring particularly the writing of a core rock band orchestration overlain with full symphonic strings, brass and woodwind. And Sondheim hails”

Apparently!

The Sebring-Vanguard CitiCar (1975)

Dmitri Shostakovich saw Jesus Christ Superstar! He also liked it so much he considered writing a rock music themed suite (like his earlier Jazz suites) but died soon after.

I think if we know anything about social media companies at this point it’s that the main problem they have are human beings using their service

Why are certain "journalists" (yes, I'm looking at you, Irish Times) uncritically reporting Maria Steen's repeated assertions that independent candidates have been "blocked" from the presidential ballot.

The current frontrunner is an independent candidate.

so many sci-fi stories these days are

scientists: i have made sentient artificial life
other humans: you fucked up a perfectly good robot/spaceship is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

loop 🖖🏼🍸🩸 @50 years of beej on X: "#QUANTUMLEAP: "I'm a woman!" "And I'm in love!" 🎶 The only girl I'll ever love is... https://t.co/YDBrkaxFEE" / X #QUANTUMLEAP

Ah I think they get it fine x.com/inherentsubt...

Oh yeah. There’s a great Quantum Leap edit to it (unsurprisingly the show lends itself well to the premise; there are multiple episodes where Sam is in the body of a woman and one where he was just in drag.)

Oh it’s been popular over there for a while.

A review of Felidae (1994) On one level feels a little oversold - yes, this film features a lot of dead or dying cats with cuts into their flesh or guts spilling out of their insides but this is about as graphic as your average...

Normal film. Had a normal time. Looked ip the author whose hook this was based on atter and he is very normal too.https://boxd.it/bit8QH

Now I’m falling asleep and she’s calling a cob

I feel like some of the tension around this site is it was never designed as or conceived as ‘the normal Twitter alternative’ they wanted it to be all about Mastodon-lite federation, but there’s the idea developers have and there’s the product as it exists and here’s the reckoning I guess

Poster for the animated film Felidae. Drawing a cat in front of a yellow circle (perhaps the sun) and a red background behind the circle (likely the sky) as the cat is positioned on a dark, even, ground like surface. The cat is paused. One leg raised, looking off to our right.

Gonna switch things up and make my next movie a cartoon. That will be I am sure pretty regular.
