Hold me close I hate you the most (he/him)
this guy is a greater threat to you than any lurid fantasy about a home invader or gangbanger they can dream up. this guy is trying to get you and people who think like you killed. he's trying to take your liberty. why let him have his? he's right about that one at least
is there a more standard trope when a man is accused of sexual misconduct than finding a woman to go "but he didn't do anything to ME!" great! one down, three and a half billion to go, we're getting somewhere
Woke Odysseus would say "I am nobody (he/him)" to the Cyclops if they made Christopher Nolan The Odyssey IMAX 70mm today. That's what woke Hollywood wants for your children.
What are your favorite adaptations that transcend their source material?
Speed Racer Movie: Victory Pose
Alt: A man in white racing leathers (Emile Hirsch) leaps out of his drifting race car, freezes in midair as the camera rotates around him 90 degrees Matrix-style, and then he lands in a victory pose. [Scene from “Speed Racer”]

Pete Hegseth: "We need our warriors to embrace the Spartan mindset" U.S. Military: *suffers crushing defeat to the Persians*
One of my favorite things about Bluesky has been finding out that the creator of one of my absolute favorite podcasts is also a first-rate human being (although that vibe does come thru pretty strong in the work itself!)
Andrew Hickey@andrewhickey.500songs.com · 3w agoA reminder, if you're even a moderately big account -- *never, ever*, no matter how stupid you think a take is, quote-skeet it to dunk it. Past a certain size account (a size I'm past and I'm far from a big account) doing this will ruin someone's day or possibly life, for no benefit to you.
Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley
if democrats want to win, they need to run guys with harleys who wear shirts that say ‘if you’re reading this, the bitch fell off’
The Butlerian Jihad must have sucked for guys who just bought a new computer
We should invent a kind of canceling where the guy goes away
MSFT laid off the Elder Scrolls artist who designed the Khajit and the Argonians. She has been with the franchise for 27 years. When she started work there the guy who would eventually helm X-Box and lay her off was 9 years old.
*Visiting 19th century Vienna* you named a component of the psyche after a video game company?
Matthew Downhour @matthewdownhour.bsky.social · 4w ago*Visiting first century Roman Jerusalem* they named a healing pool after the video game company?
/rolling my eyes and stomping around like Paul Rudd in Wet Hot American Summer "Sorry I said the lying sexual assault troop shithead was 'the final and long overdue reckoning for Smoothgroin Liberalism' on X dot com."
They say you should speak to people in a coma because they might hear you.
You might think someone in a Behind the Bastards subreddit would have zero tolerance for rapists and/or people who flirt with the trappings of Nazism, given the frequency with which the show highlights Nazis and rapists, but…
In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW
So obviously it is by far the last item on a long list of sins but one bonus fuck you to Graham Platner for placing me in the position of agreeing with Tom fuckin’ Nichols of all people, thanks a lot asshole
The rhetorical shift from "Platner is a working class hero and the filthy libs like Jeffries and Schumer are trying to stop him!" to "Platner is a disgusting centrist shitbag and the filthy libs like Jeffries and Schumer are forcing him on us!" over the past six months sure is something.
So it turns out the SS-inked mercenary rape apologist who longed to wage bygone wars of indigenous genocide that I* chose to stand behind regardless has turned out to be a rapist, but in my defense his primary opponent with a track record of winning statewide election was OLD! *⤵️
I had this exact same thought when I saw that commercial where Pete Davidson is having an interminable chat with the AI-powered Alexa about a new nickname, but in the opposite direction—that they were trying to sell it as, like, an entourage sycophant for the plebs
Pete Davidson books a ride with the all-new Alexa+
