FINALLY! My tomato plants are desperately trying to reach the sunlight, but we now officially have blooms. Also TWO peppers
Joseph Wade@cordialwombat.bsky.social · 2w agoSo far this summer, my bucket garden has yielded one pepper, one cucumber, and not a single damn tomato
Ya know how they say after the Roman Empire fell, the aqueducts and roads still existed but no one was around who knew how to fix them? I think about that every time I drive past a Krispy Kreme that no longer makes its own donuts
“Mysterious Ways” by U2 and “Right Here Right Now” by Jesus Jones are the same song Go ahead, switch the lyrics. Who’s gonna know?
This is excellent news! Vast of Night is so damn good, deserves to be seen by more people
C. Robert Cargill@crobertcargill.bsky.social · 2d agoSeveral people have asked about VAST OF NIGHT recently, as it's no longer streaming on Amazon. Spoke with director Andrew Patterson about it last night and he took the rights back, partnered with someone, and a physical and new streaming release is coming soon. So VAST OF NIGHT is coming back!
Every single actor signing up for this crap is showing themselves. They're all terrified of running afoul of the "shut up and act" cretins in the media. "This is us shutting up and doing our jobs, so please keep hiring us in the future." Massive loser stink.
Sam Adams@samadams.bsky.social · 2d agoWorth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.
Ted Lasso Season 4: Solve Your Own Problems and Leave That Poor Man Alone
ALONE allows contestants to bring ten personal items out to the wilderness to compete for the grand prize. My question is: Would a 12-pack of Mountain Dew Baja Blast be considered one item? Or two items too many?

A prequel to O Brother Where Art Thou that depicts Ulysses Everett McGill’s fall from grace, Better Call Saul style. But it’s also a painstakingly intentional riff on The Iliad.
Just Another Film Nerd@anotherfilmnerd.bsky.social · 6d agoPitch your most pointless, dull prequel idea that could potentially be greenlit in this idea-starved world. DIRTY: In which we learn how Harry Callahan earned his nickname.
[James Stewart as Odysseus] now listen here, Agamemnon, I'm going home, y'see. You keep your fancy armour, I'm getting off this crummy ol' beach. [Spotting the Cyclops] now here's a curious fella, he's only got one peeper
Bold move from a guy whose name is the sound a blowjob makes
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 6d 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...)
A genre weirdly near and dear to my heart because the year I started really paying attention to music was, ironically, the year everything I liked came crashing down
Steven Hyden@stevenhyden.bsky.social · last wk.Hey, a lot of alt-rock albums I care about from 1996 turn 30 this year, so I wrote a big column about a made-up genre near and dear to my heart: "Alt Rock Is Dead" albums. tinyurl.com/3bysx3yp

I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 4w agoA quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Tossed this post up on Threads and it did INSANE numbers. And I still got zero new follows from it. Social media is a goddamn mystery to me.
Joseph Wade@cordialwombat.bsky.social · 2w agoThe movie where Matt Damon plays a boat captain who gets trapped out at sea, away from his wife and son, featuring an antagonistic ocean god, magical creatures and sea witches? Yeah, I've seen Ponyo
Worked on live professional poker last night. Absolute dogshit television, though among the parade of baseball caps and shades to hide tells I appreciate this one player dressing as Doflamingo from One Piece as his personal intimidation tactic.
