One thing that's cool about Meta is how they are incapable of moderating blatant medical misinformation, endless scams, and the literal planning of insurrections and pogroms, but they have real-time monitoring and censoring of Marisa Kabas and the Kansas Reflector. 👍👍👍

Abortion is still legal for the first 15 weeks of a pregnancy in Florida, and will be until May. It is imperative to be sure this common knowledge because this 6 week ban will devastate
the South.

If an aid vehicle that is sharing its coordinates with the IDF gets drone-bombed multiple times, it's hard not to believe that the IDF intentionally targeted them to prevent aid delivery.

I downloaded it months ago when I first contemplated leaving, but then my addiction to it kept me from leaving.

I finally deleted my Twitter account. I was back to spending too much time there and it's just an absolute hellhole. It makes me sad to lose the archive, but as long as Musk is in charge, it's not for me.

Ken Paxton is such a vile fucking piece of shit. It is not enough to get angry - you have to vote in every single goddamn election and get more Democrats in office. PERIOD. Complacency is not an option. We must defeat these Bible-thumping fuckholes.

hey, did we ever get an update on how this turned out

Screenshot of a video clip from a Trump speech: Trump: The most important part of what is coming up is to guard the vote, and you should go into Detroit, Philadelphia, and some of these places, Atlanta, and you should go into some of these places, and we have to watch those votes..

I keep saying this in hopes that people will hear me: Trump and the GOP aren't trying to win the next election. They aim to seize power by any means necessary. They're not hiding the plan, either.

I believe we'll still beat them. But I want folks to be clear-eyed about this.

When I got an email promoting IHOP's new Wonka menu, I immediately thought of @mattsinger.bsky.social. Looking forward to the stomach-churning report of what 'Hoverchoc Pancake Tacos' taste like!

Wildly jealous of those who get to partake in this absolute madness on 35mm!!!

I'm all for promoting on Giving Tuesday, but 'Missing Movies' has sent like 6-8 different emails today. That cannot be your best course of action.

So fucking glad we have no interest in having kids. This state is a nightmare of fundamental loonies.

I'll be curious to see if Focus even sends a screener, but it is streaming on Prime Video at the moment.

Excellent suggestions! Have watched most of those, but do need to get to a few that are, indeed, on my watchlist. Hoping to knock quite a few off over the holiday weekend.

Film lovin' friends: as I focus on year-end catch up, what are 1 or 2 films you loved this year that you feel were overlooked/more people need to watch?

I'll say HOW TO BLOW UP A PIPELINE and OF AN AGE, but admittedly I have a ton on my watchlist.

I think we’ve learned an important lesson today, which is: If you ever run a media company, do not ever create a situation where your poetry editor might have cause to write a resignation letter, because it will scorch you from the face of the earth.

Sometimes it's hard for me to process how fucking stupid the majority of this country is.

What an absolute shitshow. Republicans never fail to be the worst, it's quite a gift.

I'm still voting his mustache as Best Supporting Actor this year.

You're out of luck on this one!

Hulu is gonna launch A HAUNTING IN VENICE on Halloween. Really enjoyed this one (in great part to Tina Fey) and it will make for a perfect pick that night, especially if you like your scary movies on the mild side!

YAY! See you out there.

Who is headed out to Zilker Park for W2 of ACL Fest? I am not thrilled at tomorrow's temps, but I *am* excited to see Ethel Cain again, who is brilliant. But, for me, the highlight of the weekend will be catching Jessie Ware!

An anti-choice PRICK

Working a 3-day week & then headed out to Zilker Park for ACL Fest this weekend. Am trying to knock my to-do list out, but am struggling a bit today. Tomorrow, I'll be producing multiple webinars from 10:30am-3pm with no break so I am tying not to lose my mind.

yes please, I only want to see replies from the stupidest fucking dipshits on the planet
