I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Please get off your ass and do something other than writing β€œsternly-worded letters.” Quit being a spineless coward.

"Just stay cool and don't make trouble until the midterms" is not going to cut it as an opposition response to a murderous regime whose masked thugs are killing people in the streets and then attempting to round up witnesses and destroy evidence.

On this week’s The Good, The Bad, and The What #podcast, we take a break from our usual format to discuss our Top 10 Films of 2025. Bad year for most things, but a great year for movies. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I won’t complain because theaters need movies - *any* movies - now more than ever, but I have a suspicion that after last summer’s screen-life WAR OF THE WORLDS that we collectively meme’d MERCY into being a theatrical movie as opposed to a streaming one.

Anyone hiring a Community Manager or Social Media Manager?

I've worked in community, content or social at companies such as Sling TV, Dread Central, Letterboxd, Intel, Giving Tuesday, AWS, and Shudder. I'm also a former teacher and wrote a book about Twitter.

THE LAST DUEL was my #2 film in 2021. Can also make strong cases for AMERICAN GANGSTER and THE MARTIAN.

Dear Texans,

Please do to The Pats what you did to my Steelers last week.

Sincerely,

SOUTHLAND TALES. I have inexplicably seen it more than I have DONNIE DARKO, a movie that I do like.

It sucks opening my feed and seeing everyone openly celebrating my team’s defeat, but I also hate Rodgers as much as all of you, so I don’t really know what to say here other than this season has been a huge fucking bummer.
