I definitely have a wide strike zone when it comes to media quality so I’ll have to limit it to 5. •Starfield, I love the cassette tape future and the mix of homage and pastiche •Robotech (Macross is great too!) •The Palladium system, just a fun mess •THAC0 •Mario Bros. 1993, saw it with my dad

"i hate a popular thing" is mostly boring sooooo instead tell me the piece of media you love despite everyone else hating it me? i have many, but the two that spring to mind are Milla Jovovich film Ultraviolet which i own twice accidentally, PS3 game NeverDead, and Super Mario Bros. (film, 1993)

I know this joke has probably been done to death this week but it just occurred to me and it made me giggle… What’s the Pope’s favorite exercise machine? The encyclical bike I’ll see my self out

I wish Starfield were less good, this game is severely detrimental to my sleep schedule. I keep finding these new (to me at least) PoI’s and i love how they expand the world just by the implications from their existing. Well done Bethesda 😃 #Starfield #Bethesdastudios

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!

Greetings, new friends! You may know me as an author, a prolific Bluesky poster and 4th place finisher on So You Call That Dancing? But you might not know that my partner Judith (@mzpress) and I have an online arts bookstore that's growing every day. Full inventory here: mzs.press/EVERYTHING-W...

The covers of three books. Left to right: Gandolfini: Jim, Tony, and the life of a legend, about the late Sopranos actor. The cover shows Gandolfini looking shy, peering offscreen with one unobstructed eye and another that peeks out between the fingers of his right hand.
CENTER: The cover of Cinema Her Way, a coffee table book by Marya E. Gates about female directors. On the cover is actress Michelle Rodriguez as the boxer heroine of Karyn Kusama's sports drama Girlfight, about a woman boxer. 
RIGHT David Hockney's painting collection The Arrival of Spring in Normandy, showing a painting of a verdant field. In the background of the field is green grass. in the upper foreground are the branches of a tree sprouting white, cottony buds.

One was a Teamster*➡️ Accountant ➡️ Truck driver The other was a Fisherman ➡️ Miner ➡️ Farmer / Politician *Drove a team of horses delivering fuel to farms, didn’t work for the teamsters union though he was a union man. 1929 drove him out of the white collar work he’d fought hard to get into

Whether or not you’re running for Congress and trying to seem rugged (and you probably should run, because, look who’s out there) what did your grandpas do for a living?
