for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

This is so colossally stupid that I actually had to google to make sure I wasn’t being hoodooed by a fake post.

This guy never served. He faked an injury to avoid the draft. None of his children have served. He called those who did serve their country "suckers and losers." He skipped the centenary memorial for servicemen who died in WWI because it was drizzling. This is more than usually repellent.

this is the worst thing!! one character that we're supposed to hate says this line and we're supposed to hate it and hate him and then the movie ends with the couple embracing fascism!!! you cannot have your cake and eat it too!!!

Dustin@moviedustin.bsky.social · 4h ago

I’m glad I’m not the only one put off by how cutesy it’s trying to be while taking place in an hellscape. I can’t get over how that one character says “Maybe the fascists were right about this” when referring to the mandate and the film enforces that worldview with the ending.

omg I found the picture ❤️

ECP@ecppdx.bsky.social · 19h ago

Years ago I coined the milleneuve, which is a unit to measure how horrible the sky color is based on Villeneuve films. Blade Runner 2049 is around 900mn. Today is around 250 I'd say. (It's a very scientific scale.)

Overthinking movie worldbuilding crossover: does the Sex Purge exist in the Cars universe?

If you're not terminally online, you might not recognize VDARE, but trust me: VDARE is blatant, overt, not even remotely hiding it white supremacist stuff.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 3h ago

Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.

There is no ethical consumption of Harry Potter. And not in the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" way. In the "your fandom is now comprised of hate symbols" way.

s. e. smith@sesmith.lol · 5h ago

JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.

I want to read the full rabbinic arguments about the One Night Only Sex Purge. If it's enforced with tattoos, can Jews argue a first amendment exception to the sex-monitoring tattoos? If the Jewish community were to have a Sex Purge, would it not be on Purim? Much to consider.

in a world... where the only crime... is heterosexual sex... one gay man... will fuck a woman... for the principle this pride month BE GAY, DO CRIMES

i'm locked in on this film sorry to anyone else

SEX PURGE should have been directed by Coralie Fargeat

if nothing else another big night for the "polling in the no-one-picks-up-their-phone-anymore Era is cooked" take

G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com · 18h ago

Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

We thought Amazon MGM blew their whole documentary budget for the year on Melania… but it turns out from the latest MPA ratings news they’ve also made a documentary of that Telepathy Tapes BS.

Shit like this would honestly be laugh-out-loud-funny if it weren't for, y'know, the hundreds of thousands of people they've slaughtered.

#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 2d ago

Basically the height of caricature at this point: Israel is demanding that as part of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, it be allowed to continue attacking Gaza.

They’re calling it the most theater kid story of all time

Pixie Casey@pixiecasey.bsky.social · yesterday

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...

Watched Arthur's version of The Odyssey since it was in the YouTube algorithm and now I'm gonna have the siren song (Crazy Bus) stuck in my head for the first time in like 25 years. Wacky, goony, goofy, spoony…

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Not only is David Ellison lying about his film plan, it's not even a good lie

Paramount Skydance CEO and heir apparent David Ellison is very upset that the media landscape can see right through him.

As a Religious Studies professor, this directly targets my livelihood in a way that makes a mockery of any supposed profession of concern the administration has ever expressed for me as a Jewish person on campus.

The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 2d ago

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

There’s this moment in Spider-Man: Brand New Day where Spider-Man admits and apologizes for something he unwittingly did while a person was under mind-control. It’s really stuck with me. It’s the act of a good person. I hope every kid takes that with them. That’s my Peter Parker.

HUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.

Ah yes, the epic tale of Odysseus, from whom we get the word "odyssey" - and Telemachus, from whom we get the word "telemarketing."

He will never understand that being "the fat guy from Superbad" is infinitely better than being "the martial arts chud nobody likes"

Conservatives are welcome to post on bluesky. Absolutely nothing is stopping them. They just dont automatically earn engagement for being purposefully incendiary and Nazis arent given special baby treatment for having "different opinions" take your tiki torch and polo shirt elsewhere fucko
