Hey, remember that “Hollywood assholes need to come back” article last week? I had to write about how, no, they don’t and how it misses the point of why they were of their times.
Kristen Lopez@kristenklopez.bsky.social · yesterdayGot a new article in my series The Trade, looking at what the other sites are covering. This go-round I'm talking about that "Hollywood assholes" piece and used it to examine the movie mogul and why one can't really have a comeback if they never went away. thefilmmaven.com/the-hollywoo...
Had my dental consultation today and pretty much cried all the way home - somehow have to come up with $4400 to do a proper deep cleaning next month because I’m at risk for needing a new round of bone grafts if I don’t…and that’s not even all the dental work from the ‘90s I need to replace.
I’m 43. Five years on hrt. So grateful I held on for as long as I did. Life can beautiful. Inner joy and peace is possible. Stay true however you can.

*walks into room, writes "Jaws" on the whiteboard* *looks at execs* *adds "es" onto the end of Jaws so it says "Jawses"* *execs are cautiously interested* *draws a line through the last S so it reads "Jawse$"* *execs lose their minds*
weinberg@weinbergs.bsky.social · 7mo agolet's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?
So happy to welcome ROB HUNTER to Echo On Publications. He will be penning the brand new novelization to the classic MISTER FROST! 📚🔪 📚🔪🩸
Idk maybe you don’t *have* to review the movie made by the director who said a young girl should be cannibalized for wanting to stand up for human rights, regardless of how terrible it is…
Universal owns JAWS & TREMORS... RIPPLES. When a deep-sea fissure off the Gulf of Mexico releases a new strain of aquatic Graboids, a remote coastal town becomes the hunting ground for massive, vibration-sensing "Rippers" that move faster in the water than their land-bound cousins ever did.

We've figured out costs for a permanent home but are still trying to figure out how to make that happen. Shares are still very much appreciated!
Chloe N. Clark@pintsncupcakes.bsky.social · 5mo agoI'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link! gofund.me/ac93c03d5

I'm really glad that ESPN got rid of a talented and knowledgeable dude like Ryan Clark so they could pay a sleeveless punter more money so Aaron Rodgers could be on TV complaining about Dr. Fauci. What the absolute fuck is wrong with everyone
