It's "Potatoes and Molasses" time, y'all. Maybe my favorite day in October for the last decade. IYKYK

I haven't known what to say about this. While I never followed her work, I did interview Heather on my podcast, felt it was not a great interview, kinda forgot about it. We've heard about former guests doing shitty stuff, but this takes the cake. I hope her career is over and her daughter is safe.

Heather Thompson-Day, Christian speaker and author, and her husband Seth Day, psychology professor at a Christian university, were reported for child abuse by their own daughter, both were charged with causing injury to a child, and Seth was also charged with sexual assault of a child. 🤬

Maleficent's transformation onto a dragon at the end of Sleeping Beauty is the first time I remember getting a nightmare from a movie.

In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?

If Jesus loves you so much why did he let you go on tv with that haircut?

"Talk about testosterone!" Apparently, this guy met Manly MAGA Jesus in Heaven...

Sorry but it is impossible for the "most exclusive dinner in the world" to have one hundred and eighty-five guests.

This is real. We may have trouble affording groceries and gas, but the wee orange fella will be making bank at his Gatsby extravaganza on November 22.

Sure would be nice if I could watch football without being subjected to fearmongering anti-trans political ads.

Folks, they call it "color grading" now, you heard of this? "Color grading". Well I got a grade for it, an F!

Related: Good God, how I miss color in movies & TV. Real color. Not that "desaturated" color. COLOR.

It's really interesting that baseball is the one major sport that doesn't have any sort of playoffs that would culminate in an annual championship winner. Instead, every year October arrives and baseball just ends.

I've been in religious communities that talked a big game about the idea that Christians, being made in the image of God AND knowing God, the ultimate creator, should be creating the BEST art, but I think the success of AI worship music is what truly best represents modern Christianity.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

"118...119...120 days of Sodom. Salo!"

Counterpoint: Bring me your fatties, your weirdos, your radicals yearning to breathe free.

Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."

Can't call it "super intelligence" because every time someone uses that phrase we'll think they are talking about total genius (and famously nice guy) Weird Al.

It's a shame Seattle Kraken center and 2021 2nd overall pick Matty Beniers isn't a household name, because the best nickname for Matthew Stafford is obviously "Matty Veneers".

Imagine all our parents short-circuiting from a conversation about this book.

big news for the autistic non-binary exvangelical crowd! We got a book deal baby (and it's at an academic-minded press!!!!)

More like the Carl/Schmitt ticket.

if the GOP runs a vance/schmitt ticket then they should just give up the pretense and make the party’s slogan the fourteen words www.axios.com/2026/09/29/e...

It's not encouraging that Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto said they don't have a list of manager candidates, that the search starts now. Contrast that with the Seahawks. GM John Schneider maintains files on coaching candidates, so when Pete Carroll was fired he was ready to go interview guys, struck gold.

i get that this is in some sense a bribe or whatever but also lol these idiots have no idea what theyre doing

👀 Paramount is pursuing an 8-figure deal for the rights to a Lindsey Graham documentary, which is said to include behind-the-scenes footage of the late senator speaking candidly with David Ellison. The scoop in @status.news www.status.news/p/paramount-...

Once again, the Rams can't handle the jet lag, lose to the Broncos, who wisely chose to be in Denver all week and acclimate to Mountain Daylight Time.

Paid a visit yesterday to what remains of the iconic Bubbleator from the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. It's in a front yard in Federal Way now.

Uhhhhhhgggggggg...

Fox going to commercials with San Diego-based Stone Temple Pilots because any grunge-era band gets to be representative of Seattle? Not cool.

Still makes me sad that we got so close to a Spielberg produced, animated Monkey Island movie

Very confusing that Primetime is about the show To Catch a Predator, but it has Jeff Zucker playing himself, the man who gave the world The Apprentice, which in hindsight we could rightly call To Elect a Predator.

My last four is mostly really solid. All first-time watches, three I'd been meaning to get around to for ages. Kinda bummed that my suspicions about Withnail and I were correct. Never seemed like one I would love, but I hoped to be surprised. Nope, hated it.

Letterboxd@letterboxd.social · 2w ago

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 💨

I don't want to overweight this as an event (given consolidation and collapse is pretty much a consistent media reality now) but seems slightly related to the ever shrinking evangelical "center" (yes yes its a bad frame)

@herenowandthere.bsky.social · 2w ago

Christianity Today laid off half of its staff? Huh

Finally getting around to watching The Untouchables, and I'm sure this early reaction is a very rare one, but I absolutely would have watched this sooner had I known Charles Martin Smith was in it.
