Kyle Gordon’s new album dropped, and Hero of Fallujah is one of the best songs he’s made yet. Changing to a major key at the end is so fucking funny.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

I swear, Disney execs are a fuckin cancer. You can’t crack the premise for The Muppet Show??? There are Muppets, and they put on a variety show with a different guest star each week. You literally just keep doing the thing you just did.
There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival. Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on. (Source: Deadline)

Imagine Stephen King, circa 1997, putting out daily press releases promoting his anti-gay org while publishing horror books as Richard Bachman. Imagine George Lucas, circa 2007, announcing a billion dollar fund for anti-Muslim lawsuits, then launching 'The Clone Wars.' This is J.K. Rowling today.
Worth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.

You know if we actually had an opposition party this quote would be running on political ads 24/7 but instead we just have a country club full of nonagenarians.

Hey @support.bsky.team / @bsky.app, why the fuck are you doing this? When trans women call out harassers, your MO is to ban the victim of said harassment? Explain how this makes sense.
The best Star War is Andor. If you’re only counting the movies, the best Star War is The Last Jedi. A New Hope > Empire Strikes Back Rogue One is an infuriating movie. It has a few 10/10 scenes, but its structure is utterly broken. And the CG/deepfaked Tarkin & Leia are *abominations*.
My dream would be to have a little storefront to buy/sell/trade movies and video games. Have a small workbench to service/repair old game consoles. Mod old clickwheel iPods and Game Boys and stuff. I think it could be successful, millennials and Gen Z are hungry for owning their media.
Take a break from the discourse and quote this with a business you would want to start if you could afford to lose money on it
I love these boys, god bless Jackass

Hey @jeffrosenstock.bsky.social, just want to say a deep thank you for HELLMODE. I’ve been having a really bad brain day today; having something that recognizes how fucked up everything is and is realistic about it and yet still isn’t hopeless is a fucking balm.

that the president is making unhinged threats of war crimes on easter sunday should be an immediate presidency-ending scandal and that the media is rewriting this as just a normal negotiating tactic should be a career-ending scandal for everyone involved
If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.
