I'm so tired of post-Reagan politics. If someone ran on a promise to aggressively raise taxes, at this point they'd have my vote, no matter what they wanted to do with it. Enough with pretending the best thing for a government is to starve it.

ABBOTT: Japanese developers today have unique names, like FromSoftware COSTELLO: From what ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: I thought you said it was from Japan ABBOTT: It is COSTELLO: But what's the name of the developer ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: The Software's From Japan, though ABBOTT: Yes

I caught the restoration of The Devils at a local cinema last night, and it's a level of big budget, high effort insanity that honestly is all I want from film. The crocodile though

Oh wow, a $500 healthcare marketplace "refund" is definitely going to change my opinion on Trump. Yep, in fact you should send me about ten more of these checks and then I'll SURELY start voting red. My vote is for sale and I'm not insulted by this at all.

The conventional wisdom used to be that the president couldn't really affect the economy that much. I guess we never considered someone actively choosing to make the worst possible decisions at every opportunity.

#lastfourwatched Camp Miasma is so freaking good, and honestly I underrated Samurai Cop based on how entertained I was.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 🔮

I've been to Dollywood three times. The second, I was tagging along with a rather large group of drag queens. I think Dollywood with drag queens is the best way to do it.

I feel like y'all are sleeping on this one.

"Baby I got a dick like a clif bar, only 250 calories but you're gonna be full for five hours" My girlfriend is very funny.

Sometimes it feels like the only way to be successful in America is to be pathologically confident and that just isn't me. You all look insane but I'm too scared to say that to your face.

I watched Backrooms last night, and I really love how much room there is in the script. There are so many places where a character in an inferior film would be dumping exposition, and in this movie, it just doesn't happen.

I'd seriously consider finishing that confirmation class I bailed on when I was 16.

You Holiness Pope Leo XIV, I have a proposition for you: if you excommunicate JD Vance I will come out of spiritual retirement and re-Catholicize. That way your numbers stay they are. I don’t want to put a clock on it, but I’d prefer sooner rather than later

This Fox/Roku deal is just more evidence to me that we need a new, aggressive antitrust movement. Media consolidation has been incredibly harmful to our society. Break them up. (Also break up the banks, social media, healthcare, grocery stores, etc)

I just don't understand why we need another version of Persona 4. We didn't even need Golden. They could have just ported the original without 20 hours of worse content on a game that was already too long (that admittedly I loved).
