Jim Has Fun@jimhasfun.wnyrpg.com · yesterdayThis week's @rubenbolling.bsky.social strip is a hoot, very funny. I got it in my email inbox just now because I'm special. A special little guy in a special kind of hive.
As a one-man film studio, I could really use some help with word-of-mouth on my new feature film, coming to AppleTV and more on Monday. Movies made by just one guy generally don’t get on streaming and there’s literally no PR budget because it’s just me. Thanks, I appreciate it so much!
Scott Bateman@scottbateman.bsky.social · 2d agoNEXT MONDAY! 5002 Space Aliens is coming to streaming next week! It’s the most bonkers thing you’ll see this year. Maybe ever? Add it to your #Letterboxd watchlist and watch it on opening day! Movies this nuts don’t come to streaming every day, ya know. #filmsky
This will get a fraction of the attention that Zohran Mamdani got for calling Netanyahu a war criminal.
Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · yesterdayDepicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.
Listened to Walter Becker’s song about his son, “Little Kawai,” and thought it might be fun to check google and find out what happened to Kawai. It was not fun.
And Kavanaugh swore that Roe v Wade is settled law. They say what they need to say to get confirmed.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 3d agoBREAKING: Todd Blanche just issued a formal order that appears to terminate Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund and limit the scope of the IRS audit immunity deal applying to Trump and his family.
THIS is Republican masculinity. Stay silent for two years about a man abusing your daughter until it’s no longer politically advantageous to support him.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 3d agoAfter Max Miller’s statement, Bernie Moreno finally issues a statement denouncing Miller, saying he needs psychological help and should not be in Congress.

I’m old enough to remember a trans professional tennis player named Renee Richards in the 1970s, and there was some controversy, but it was a tennis controversy, not a national political issue that decided the economic and geopolitical future of the country.

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.
Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations
The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.

From 2024. And here comes ICE.
Trump complaining about how unfair it was to ask him about inflation in his first days in office. “I just got here! Now, what are you talking about? High prices?” It’s not like he promised to end inflation on Day One
The Daily Show@thedailyshow.com · 2w agoTrump’s been in office for five and a half years, and he’s still using the excuse: “I just got here”
Not that the ancient Greeks’ opinions should have any bearing on 21st cent. movie casting, but who’s to say they wouldn’t be more puzzled by people with straight light hair than by people with the same dark kinky hair as theirs but slightly darker skin.

Who says Elon Musk doesn’t innovate? Here he invents an entirely new system of cause-and-effect logic. If you do something that leads to someone’s death, you didn’t “cause” that death, because you can imagine someone rushing in to stop it, but failing to do so.
Jonathan Harris@jonathan-a-thon.bsky.social · 2w agoHe's quite possibly one of the worst people to have ever lived.
