Yesterday I pulled my wife down for a kiss and my seven year old asked us "why are you being like james bond???" maybe I need to get that kid more reference points for displays of romantic affection
Wow, people who don't trigger dopamine spikes in their partners have got it made in this world

So far my favourite thing in Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning is the sexy sub crew that delivers seemingly endless exposition while constantly completing each other's sentences and calling Tom Cruise "mister"
Consensual sex of any variety is going to be lib-coded before long
i googled “deborah ann woll” after the god of war laufey contremps and i sometimes feel that “we’re getting heterosexuality in the national divorce” is a realistic possibility. x dot com is where right personalities are negatively polarizing themselves against the idea that women are attractive
I think I'm gonna start believing John Ford never existed. He was a pseudonym John Wayne made up for his self-directed films (smh, couldn't even come up with a new first name). Even went back and attributed a bunch of silent westerns to him to build cred.

started the most recent Mission Impossible last night and, lol, I definitely didn't remember enough from the previous film. Anyway it's pretty weird to get "Architect from The Matrix sequels" levels of exposition in one of these. This Entity stuff has gotta be a scientology parable somehow right?
People were temporarily, mildly inconvenienced by the inability to access chain stores in the exact way they'd grown accustomed to. There wasn't one second where I couldn't go to a grocery store and gas station. What kind of "locked down" involves me going to Kroger whenever I want.
It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better
It gives the game away that media and apparatchiks are seeing a wave of almost entirely women/POC progressive/socialist candidates putting up incredible numbers in multiple races and just defaulting to the old “looks like the dudebros are out in force!” line bc they have nothing else to use
All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.
This might sound elitist, but I don’t think the people liking the Peanuts slop posts should have rights

Like 30% is what you’d expect of a second-term president with unpopular policies and plagued by scandals. Trump is not that. His policies are a giant and obvious fuck you to even his own voters, and corruption is simply at the core of everything. And yet.
I think the biggest story and the more consequential reality is that 30% of the country is ride or die for a malignant narcissist whose policy on everything is “make it worse”. Nixon 2, W. Bush 2, etc. polled lower, but neither of them approached these levels of incompetence and corruption.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 7d agoTrump absolutely cratering by many metrics in new CNN poll: 66% say he puts himself over country 61% disapprove of ballroom, arch, etc 57% say lacks sharpness to serve (!) 73% say he's out of touch w/regular people (!!) His personalist project is over. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2137...

whenever my wife says she works in biotech I imagine her designing appliances for the Flintstones
I feel a twinge of discomfort whenever my parents make the trip to visit me and their grandchildren and meanwhile blue state politicians cant stop tweeting "ignore the threats, we want your money"
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov · 5d agoTrump's ignorant choice to make an enemy of one of our strongest allies is having DIRECT results on U.S. tourism—and just like the rest of his policies, it's hurting our economy. My message to Canada: Washington state continues to welcome our Canadian friends and neighbors. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
All im saying is, as a canadian, it would feel better if all this wasnt continually framed as a business decision

It’s a normal song that sounds like it was written and performed by a human being, so it’s shocking to me that it became a hit at all with popular country audiences.

Fauci fucked up with the AIDS Crisis but I’d rather he get dragged for that than by folks who want to cosplay being oppressed because they got told to stay home and limit travel for a couple months
I like King of the Hill too but Hank is hardly your average Republican!
Jessica Tarlov@jessicatarlov.bsky.social · last wk.Your average Republican is pro-IVF, skeptical of six week heartbeat bills, against deporting productive, law-abiding immigrants, and for gay marriage.
I often find myself remembering Cleese talking about how disappointed he was when he met Malcolm Muggeridge for the Life of Brian debate and saw this once-sharply comedic mind he enjoyed growing up reduced to spouting such pitiful, reactionary, conservative nonsense…
Robert Llewellyn@bobbyllew.bsky.social · last wk.I once had the privilege of sitting on a panel with John Cleese. He was delightful in person, but I have to say I’m not overly staggered he’s voicing support for a proper nightmare extremist.

the first six final fantasies were just remade a few years ago????
VGC@videogameschronicle.com · last wk.A Final Fantasy 6 remake is a difficult prospect because it would need four or five games to do the story justice, Final Fantasy 14 director Naoki Yoshida says. "I understand the feelings of the players, but you’ve got to think about it," he says. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/a-final...
