#Letterboxd #LastFourFriday #FilmSky Two classic re-watches with the family, a creepy recent horror and a great genre busting comedy with bits of folk horror that is only of my favorite 2026 watches. Good start to spooky season!

Branding is my passion.

I renewed two (2) public library cards today. It was awesome.

The best portrayals of Sherlock Holmes onscreen, ranked : 10.You 9. Can't 8. Possibly 7. Judge 6. So 5. Many 4. Different 3. Great 2. Performances 1. Jeremy Brett

We never punished the people who authorized torture and the last 20+ years of our politics are a consequence of that.

Today marks the 53rd anniversary of September 11th when General Pinochet with help from the USA overthrew the democratically elected Salvador Allende leading to mass executions locally and turned Chile into a testing ground for neoliberalism which has destroyed the planet and killed millions

john fetterman is the first rat in history to climb onto a sinking ship.

Using an image, show an episode of Star Trek you are sure you’ve seen more than ten times.

L'Arc de Participationne

I prefer "weird and exceptional" but yeah. It me.

what if Canada just declared this America's flag, and started using it on their literature and websites

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

#letterboxd #lastfourfriday #filmsky Three I hadn't seen (maybe I saw The Snapper on VHS? The 90s were a long time ago, gang) and one of the better filmed stage pro-shots I've seen.

#letterboxdfriday #lastfourfriday Two better than I expected sequels with the kids, two stone cold classics just for me.

Pete Hegseth: "We need our warriors to embrace the Spartan mindset" U.S. Military: *suffers crushing defeat to the Persians*

I don't give a shit what the Founding Fathers thought. They also thought it was good to beat prey viciously with animal bones and to howl at a large black monolith.

Sounds the sort of thing you'd say if you were hiding Dracula's grave

I am tech support to the bone and do not like to mystify computer stuff but I genuinely believe in my heart of hearts that printers have demons in them. There is literally no other explanation.

It’s New Foods Day for the Minnesota State Fair and this, to me, is the promise of America www.mnstatefair.org/new/food

this video from the bbc about texas bbq is frying me

trans rights are human rights and anyone who tells you otherwise is a stone cold bigot fuck SCOTUS and kavanaugh specifically

expand the court. no more half measures. this is intolerable.

Part of the Blair Witch Project marketing campaign was putting VHS tapes, with basically no context, out in the world before the theatrical release to create word of mouth. I saw it in a small living room in rural Western NY with a screen door to the outdoors which abutted woods. It got us all good.

Maybe now that Musk is a trillionaire he can return to his home planet of Apartyde.

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

This Spencer prat, what was his surname?

It’s an illegitimate court and any politician who wants to be taken seriously should say so very clearly and vow to not recognize or enforce any of their rulings; any presidential candidate who wants to be taken seriously should promise to immediately nominate 9 justices to form a legitimate court.

Reminder that formerly enslaved Black people started Memorial Day. It was initially called Decoration Day as they decorated the graves of Union troops. “As He died to make men holy let us die to make men free”

My local theater has armed guards checking IDs to make sure unaccompanied teenagers aren’t going to see movies on a Saturday night, in case you were wondering why cinemas are dying.

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Box Mac and Cheese, orange soda while watching Star Trek TNG.

My taxes are going to murder school children overseas and to let pardoned insurrectionist pedophiles get their hush money payoffs to victims, meanwhile, the papers of record want to let me know the real danger is the guy who taxes second homes in Manhattan to balance budgets and feed hungry kids.

Look, I get that the thing is they've excluded a whole world of songwriting and then not specified that in the title of the list. But it is funny to read this and think that the NYT believes musicals write themselves. Genuinely curious if they would have included Sondheim if he were still with us.

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

The bulk of the American working class isn't white. Focusing all your attention on the white working class is racism. It's that simple.

it's funny to run this with a black and white photo of Ted Turner

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

I drafted, then scrapped, a few replies to the usual "let the south secede" stuff today, but this says it better by far than anything I was coming up with:

Fortunato (coughing): You’re certain the Criterion Closet is down here Montresor (picking up a trowel): Definitely. Have you thought about your picks yet

Dr Frankenstein: it’s alive! Igor: great! what should we name him Dr frankenstein: uh we won’t igor: I dunno, might lead to some confusion Dr frankenstein: it will literally never come up

Now that the worst has come and Section 2 of the VRA is gutted, Dem trifectas in safe blue states need to start fighting back and push these maps immediately
