Bzzzzzttt. Wrong! One fun thing about being an American is that I can say literally whatever I want whenever I want.

british people legally can't talk about their culture of elite pedophilia because they don't have freedom of speech. that's not a right they have. and what speech her undying majesty does permit is subject to prior approval by jo terf.

At some level, each of us who writes things lives in fear that one day someone will read it back to us and ask, “do you really mean that?”

I think a lot about a post that I can't find that takes aim at the genre of jokes about x, y or z soundtrack composer and how they "didn't have to go that hard" for some silly movie. The post is like "yes they did? they care about their job? they want to make good work?"

Cannot even begin to explain how many lines from Frozen Peas have become go-to non sequiturs: "C'mon boys you're losing your heads." "YOUR FRIEND" "That's just idiotic, if you'll forgive me my saying so." "UNREWARDING" "You don't know what I'm up against."

This just might be the most psychotic act of sexual harassment I’ve ever seen. Not the worst per se, or most menacing but in terms of sheer insanity it’s really up there.

So many people my age can quote so much of this verbatim. Many of them have no idea where it's originally from or who Orson Welles is. I love how Warner Brothers cartoons historically don't care if you're too young for the reference.

A recording so iconic it’s been part of comedy lore for decades, here’s John Candy as Orson Welles referencing it in an SCTV sketch from 1981. “You people are pests, no money is worth this.” youtu.be/ZrNIFFl8Mao?...

Adam Rawnsley@arawnsley.bsky.social · yesterdayToday, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.
it’s amazing that there are ostensibly famous British people i never know about until they die and are remembered as a pedophile
this is an interesting interview and if i were clipping it for social media i would have excerpted "We're still a place where we don't downrank links. We love sending traffic to people. We send two million clicks a day to publishers" rather than the part that'll just piss people off lol

I know Herzog claims it’s a coincidence, but my god, Abel Ferrara, Herzog, and Miike all doing their own take in a new locale is wonderful. Every 20 years we need a different auteur to make their own Bad Lieutenant
really like the idea of a movie series where some psychopath picks it up every decade or two & directs the most over the top film screenable around a singularly unhinged lead performance. praying it never becomes prestige tv
i was like hmmm wonder who directed this and then punched the air in delirious excitement when his name came up
