Sex Purge, Sex Purge That's what they say The single people can't have sex (Unless the sex is gay) Sex Purge, Sex Purge, it's the Sex Purge And baby we all feel the urge
It’s a Klan Rally. These people only have to hear a name that their lizard brains process as sounding Arabic and hate immediately pours out.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6h agoLOMBARDO: So I know the pastor spoke about Officer Abdelnabi-- TRUMP RALLY CROWD: *Boooooo* LOMBARDO: No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently
and that is how Carrot Top became James Bond
The Independent@the-independent.com · 16h agoJames Bond producer shares update on 007 casting: ‘It’s got to be really different’
Dana White, who has made his fortune looting MMA fighters of their fair share of fight proceeds, speaking about "putting money back in people's pockets" is bad comedy

As I said yesterday, the constrast with Platner is night and day. He’s really serious about beating Rogers
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 21h agoEl-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.
This highlights a profound impact of Trump — the further normalization of violence against women. Trump got elected in spite of his long history of violence against women. He is not held accountable when he continues to abuse women. 1/2
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 12h agoMax Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."
My new job is securing funding for First Nations housing, and holy shit, Mark Carney has done so much damage to these programs, which were already utterly inadequate. Carney is pure evil and a colonialist to his core.
MARVEL SNAPDATE: first kick at Fractured Frontier Thanos, using a Wiccan/Surfer shell because the synergies seem to work. Not perfect yet but there's definitely something here.
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
BREAKING: With a major dump from the back corner of the bag, purple Skittles have just overtaken yellow ones in the race for "which color has the most Skittles in this bag" with 54.7% of the Skittles reporting, but yellow is looking to make a comeback when I count the ones that fell on the floor
People don't smoke fucking everywhere now. That's good for everything except arena sports photography
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · yesterdayFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
I know there's some complaints that the climax of this one goes a little too MCU-safe CGI overload, but I'm sorry man Shang-Chi merging the distinctive fighting styles of his father and mother into a new whole in order to explode a demon kaiju from the inside is some goddamn poetic cinema.
Brendan Foley@thetruebrendanf.bsky.social · yesterdayRewatching SHANG-CHI, surprised to remember that it anticipates how gracefully DDC captures a truly 'comic book' feel to a shared universe. Stuff like the throwaway appearances by Extremis users, the Wong/Abomination drop-in, those feel like glimpses of a huge continuing world vs. disposable cameos.
We watched the first season of RUNNING POINT and it was fun, so now we're watching the second session and the Ali in Toronto plotline is... I'm facepalming a lot, let's leave it at that
Gonna start saving quarters in a jar so i can buy the rights to DEAD SPACE in two years when EA goes tits up
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · yesterdayEA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest
this is a drum I will beat about Spider-Man any time the subject of his day job is raised: for nearly twenty years we've been saddled with "Peter's day job is Scientist" because comics writers haven't realized he's not a Tony Stark or Reed Richards regardless of how brilliant he might be
Mark O. Stack@markwwc.bsky.social · 2d agoSpider-Man hasn't fully left the Daily Bugle behind because J. Jonah Jameson is one of the all-time support cast members, but Peter Parker has been removed from being a photojournalist for so long that I do really miss it as a flavor.
I love that Cat Power's response is so insane that it makes you overlook just how crazy the post is that she's replying to.

I certainly didn't expect @dropout.tv to start streaming the works of Don Hertzfeldt, but I'm very excited to revisit some of these incredible films and watch the few I haven't seen before! I'll be starting with the incredible "The Meaning of Life."

okay, so this guy and his friends have all formed a tontine where the last person to get married gets all the money, but then one of the guys desperately needs the money, so he gets into wacky hijinks to convince the only other remaining bachelor in the group, Jaws, to get married
weinberg@weinbergs.bsky.social · 7mo agolet's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?

This is why the people on Bluesky are here, because the self moderation tools completely diffuse attempts to weaponize your followers into harassment.
John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 2d agoBluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit
The charm of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON is that it is They're All Very Bad At This: The Series
Trump here is whining about the most basic of diplomatic/political practice. Just a giant fucking toddler.
Ashton Pittman@ashtonpittman.bsky.social · 2d agoUpdate: No deal, back to war, Trump says.
I don't either, but: the thing about being predisposed to certain types of addiction is that people who aren't predisposed that way never get it. At best we can understand that it *is* addictive and said addiction is bad, but that's an intellectual understanding, not a gut one.
Shiv Ramdas Mens Rice Activist@nameshiv.bsky.social · 2d agoAs a confirmed dopamine addict who has thrown myself off bridges and out of a plane in the past chasing some of that sweet stuff, I genuinely don't get it
