I know plenty of millennials who've never been partiers -- warehouse, club, house, whatever. Non-partying nerds (and I say this affectionately) have and will always exist across generations. I still go out sometimes, and in The Bay at least, every gen, including boomers, is represented. 🤷🏾♀️
jon christian@jonchristian.net · 6d agokids today are literally confused about whether "partying" was real or an urban legend
How can I ever miss 30 ROCK when real life keeps serving up delicious chaos like this
A black woman-owned wine bar here in Oakland announced its closing months ago. Sucks, but small business is hard. 🤷🏾♀️ Come to find out they’ve done a hard pivot into an “AI Lab” for “women who are ready to move beyond simply talking about AI and start building with it.” lol fuck allll the way off
Ahhhh I cannot wait to listen to this! Have very strong memories of my mom having the LET'S TALK ABOUT LOVE cd on repeat in the car, and when I'm drunk enough, I will attempt "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" at karaoke.
Chris Molanphy@cmolanphy.bsky.social · 2w agoIt’s all coming back: my latest #HitParadePod —now live on @slate.com—is about Canadian chanteuse Céline Dion, training like an Olympian for her stage comeback. We go deep on her imperial ’90s when she turned flops into smashes & supercharged the soundtrack. Is your mom’s fave finally…a little cool?
Because I saw them a day apart and I couldn’t bear to only think about the insidiously pro-authoritarian “sex” comedy, I wrote about what it might mean to have both ONE NIGHT ONLY and the excellent, truly horny TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH come out on the same weekend. www.npr.org/2026/08/08/n...
A tale of two very different horny movies
One Night Only manages to fail as a dystopia and as a rom-com. Meanwhile, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is a perfect tale for this moment — if you don't mind your eroticism with a side of gore.

Ah yes, but you’ll leave in the part where the wisecracking tween makes a “joke” about sitting on someone’s face
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 2w ago‘ONE NIGHT ONLY’ director Will Gluck says they cut out “so much nudity” from the film because he thinks audiences dislike sex on screen. “Whenever people now see nudity or very adult situations in a big theater, they get uncomfortable.” (Source: variety.com/2026/film/fe...)
Today I learned there's a MARTIN spinoff coming out next month.🤔 www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4qr...

Every time I think about ONE NIGHT ONLY the movie, I hear this song in my head, and frankly that's a lot better than actively thinking about the "maybe fascists are on to something" "sex" comedy in theaters now. (Full PCHH reviews dropping tomorrow.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=wypB...

Oh ffs (I went with “Gaston,” but this hurts!)
Josh Spiegel@mousterpiece.bsky.social · 2w agoToday in the second round of the Ultimate Walt Disney Animation Studios Songs bracket, I have good news and bad news. Good: An Ashman/Menken song will win! Bad: An Ashman/Menken song will lose. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
"The King" died again in that moment of stunned silence, sandwiched wickedly between Costas' posit that "Elvis was a talented guy" and Ray's withering reply of "Well ... uh -- ok."
gamera obscura@ohrobin.bsky.social · 3w agoUntil Shani’s mention of it, I hadn’t seen this 1999 Ray Charles interview. Now I have, and I’m a better person for it.
For my fellow critics who applied for TIFF accreditation this year -- have you heard yet whether or not you've been confirmed to attend? Per usual, notice is supposed to be given by "end of July," which is today, but I don't recall it ever taking this long to find out either way.
O media literacy, where art thou? (Not on Threads! Never on Threads!)
This is tough but “Baby Mine” has to be it. Such a beautiful song, and heartbreaking within the context of the visuals. Up there with “Remember Me” and “When She Loved Me” for saddest moments in a Pixar/Disney song.
Josh Spiegel@mousterpiece.bsky.social · 3w agoToday in the second round of the Ultimate Walt Disney Animation Studios Songs bracket, the original heartbreaking number goes up against a willy, nilly, silly old bear. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Aisha Harris@aishaharris.bsky.social · 4mo agoAnywho, the odds of CB doing something heinous that lands him in legal trouble and prevents this tour from even happening are probably quite high. I'm sure the insurance costs on this are through the roof!
lol. Played myself. Even after they had already announced “boarding is complete,” (several minutes ago) two stragglers arrived. Fml. I will never know peace.
Aisha Harris@aishaharris.bsky.social · last mo.Omg. My flight is full yet my side of the row is completely empty. Might as well be in first class babyyyyy 🥰

Famously*, only women asked strangers for directions *according to every standup comedian and sitcom writer of the PAPER maps era
Michael D. Green, PhD@michaeldgreen.phd · last mo.Can’t lie, the fact that y’all were driving with PAPER maps is insane. Even worse, you had to ask random strangers for directions??

There will be at least three competing documentaries about the America 250 debacle within the next year or so. This is Fyre Fest on bath salts.

As someone who's not watched a single movie in the DESPICABLE ME universe, this post feels a bit like logging onto Threads and being dropped into the middle of a discourse that's got nothing at all to do with me and is absolutely none of my business

I'm the type of person who sets a calendar reminder to cancel three days before the renewal is supposed to kick in, and just to be safe, makes sure there are at least two additional alert notifications after that reminder BECAUSE I'VE BEEN BURNED BEFORE
Josh Gondelman@joshgondelman.bsky.social · 2mo agoI just cancelled a free trial before the automatic payments kicked in and the adrenaline flowing through me right now feels like I narrowly escaped a shark attack.

Charles Louis Richter@richterscale.bsky.social · 2mo agowhat's the music your parents played all the time when you were a kid? for me, it's a dead heat between Neil Diamond and Linda Ronstadt
