Resisting from New England with a bit of social media ADHD involving Medsky, WDW, VHS, horror, Joe Bob, 70’s cinema, TCM, and the NY Yankees. Maybe I need to create separate accounts for each interest but until then you get it all!

What is with this garbage royalty free music over the lineup on #YES. Embarrassing that after 25 years they can still mess up like this and embarrassing that the Yankees couldn’t splurge for a real song. #yankees

I’m just sick. One of my students-a sweet, kind freshman came to my office yesterday. Through the sobs she told me how her brother, a 22 year old dreamer, brought to this country from Guatemala when he was a child, was abducted by three men on his way to work. They don’t know where he is.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Tron gives an inaccurate impression of how many guys live in your computer. It makes it seem like thousands of guys are in there. In reality only about 10 guys live in your computer and less than half of them ride motorcycles

Amazon have removed the guns from their Bond posters, giving the tantalising impression that Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan think you’re a wanker.

Good step in the right direction but if you shoot yourself in the foot, it takes time for that wound to heal. You can’t just say “oops” and make it all right. You have to put in the effort to make things right. To make sure it won’t happen again. Make sure it’s a reminder for the future.

If you want to resubscribe to Disney+, Hulu, or ESPN now, better to hold off until Tuesday night’s show airs to be sure they didn’t hamstring the show. Save the 🥕 to make a point. #JimmyKimmel www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Like hundreds of other people, I was targeted by Charlie Kirk's "Professor Watchlist" project and spuriously accused of being a "Terror Supporter" and an "Antisemite". The legacy of Charlie Kirk is bigotry, classroom surveillance and anti-intellectual harassment.

I don’t always want to scroll, click, and pick what to watch…I want late night cable to randomly throw me into an absolutely unhinged movie already in progress that I’ll question actually seeing for the next two decades.

I know Democrats are overwhelmed (or rudderless, if you are less charitable) by the sheer volume of Trump authoritarian moves, but I’d like to see them unified behind specific goals like “RFK Jr is a threat to public health and needs to go.”
