Taking my time to really listen and learn from the very valid concerns of the MAHA movement:

we should hear MAHA out about this they might be onto something

Threads has become a class 4 cognitohazard and needs to be terminated immediately

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS doesn't take itself too seriously, yet it plunges into emotional scenes with a fast, offhand mastery. (1978)

Zooming in on Marie Antoinette’s eyes in any panel of Riyoko Ikeda’s THE ROSE OF VERSAILLES:

Even setting aside “in order to survive” spending… many zoomers have been dragged by their phones into ludicrous spending/debt traps (be it fast fashion, gambling, crypto, expensive nightlife, sundry hobby stuff) and they are allowed to recognize this and hate it even while still under its influence

The youth claim to hate capitalism yet they purchase goods and services in order to survive ahaha and I am very Fortune Magazine

There’s a guy on TikTok who posts just him taking a pizza out of the oven every day with tongs and all of the comments are about how their day is ruined from having watched this

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

It was this one, and, yes, I do believe that was an All In first.

[STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN] Kirk's fatuity is a joy here. He's the most prim and bureaucratic of all action-adventure heroes, and his complacency has acquired a patina. (1982)

Bet you didn't know that the Little Morton Salt Girl is an immortal being who existed before there was life on Earth.

So Gunn definitely could have gotten Hepzibah in Guardians 3. Fucking coward.

Destin Daniel Cretton says that he asked for Jean Grey to be in ‘SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY’. “It was not a mandate, it was a request. We asked.” (Source: www.thewrap.com/creative-con...)

Today marks a very special day in science fiction literature. May I present to you, "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury:

in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...

VT musical director of planned 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' created fake threats, police say

The director of a planned production of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" admitted to sending himself threatening texts that eventually got the play canceled out of safety concerns.

Issuing a strong apology form to Agamemnon’s big dumb Batman armor, which I thought looked silly when the first screencaps dropped but in the context of the movie it kicks so much ass. This monolithic icon of a King, who only speaks after he’s dead and it’s to be like “alas, Odysseus, I got owned,”

Geneticists breed a new kind of shark called Charcharodon Calamitous. The whole movie is lit like shit so you can barely tell what makes C. Calamitous any different than a regular shark. The lego set sells for $150 a pop and I get a royalty off every sale because I copyrighted the dumb new shark

let's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?

The collapse of network television is legit part of the problem here. There’s nothing more psychosexually nutritious than a years-long fixation with a telegenic but basically normal-looking 40-year-old woman who plays a doctor or lawyer and wears a swimsuit or evening dress in one scene per season

To be clear I think women are just more honest about this than guys who feel the need to hoot performatively over Sydney Sweeney to prove something but secretly all have crushes over three women on Law & Order and Leela from Futurama

that we have to download all these apps just to make fast food restaurants halfway affordable through gamification is one thing, but that McDonalds - of all people! - remains so singularly bad at it is the kind thing that should be studied in a lab:

I am 40x better at GMing than anyone who uses AI gen, and my campaign exclusively produces images like this because we’re not cowards and use our imaginations

"I'm entitled to whatever I want whenever I want it for any reason and I don't care what satisfying these urges does to me or the world" well okay dude, seems like there's something deeper going on here, but that's just my take

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

Regrettably his prompt is also visible

Man goes to see the Cyclops. Says he's depressed. He wants to get back to his wife and home, but he keeps running into fatal predicaments along the way. Cyclops says, "Prognosis is simple. Nobody can help you." Man starts crying. Says, "But Cyclops, I *am* Nobody"

my neighborhood 7-11 closed a couple years ago and tried to reopen but couldn’t get the permit approved because there’s a preschool next door and 7-11s sell alcohol (the previous permit was grandfathered in). i saw a fence going up around the lot recently and looked up what was moving in: a gun shop
