Chatting on @popheist.com slack about Eric Bauza's passing, and something crystallized for me: the feeling I have the majority of the time a talent - whether actor, filmmaker, screenwriter, author, musician, and so on - dies is gratitude for their work. With Bauza, I feel whiplash. Like: damn.

I am both, 1) patting myself on the back for not doing business with any of these bastards, and 2) signal-boosting this so y'all can check and see if you're doing business with any of these bastards yourselves; you have the right to know who helped fund that disgusting ad
Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

It really needs to be emphasized that the woman Vivek is featuring in these videos fled with an accused & indicted child rapist and successfully helped him avoid trial for 20+ years.
even by normal oppo standards this story is bonkers — basically vivek and co (and acton’s shitty mother) are accusing acton of fabricating horrific stories of child sexual abuse that are clearly documented in court records
Recent pieces! I adore A BIRD ON THE WING, Paula Fong's debut LP; lots of notes of various countrywomen (and men) in her work, but as with all great Americana, her personality is the record's North Star. Superb work across the board.
History lesson time: let me tell you about the Manilamen, the Filipino sailors who escaped their Spanish overseers' grasp and laid roots in the Pontchartrain Basin, marking the first Asian settlement in the U.S.
Last (FOR NOW!): we all know and love (or tolerate) K-pop, a category that's dominated international music for nearly two decades. but I have news! a rising tide of recording artists is shifting the spotlight from Korea to SEA. and they're good, too!
Wow, thank goodness we don't have a woman serving as president, they're too emotional; anyways here's racist pedophile grandpa having a hissy fit about being asked a question.
“Wait! WAIT! You better be careful… Quiet! QUIET! What’s wrong with you? Are you a sick person?” The short-tempered thin-skinned dictator wannabe with cratering approval numbers repeatedly loses his shit at reporters. (H/T @atrupar.com )
Pop culture attention spans stretch very, very thin, so I know we're off of STREET FIGHTER now - except SIKE, we're not, here's my review, and you damn well better read it because I did it for @popheist.com.

Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. There’s like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidō style. But that’s not likely. Coward hasn’t even drawn h

Seems like as good a day as any to impeach Racist Addled Grandpa Pedo and take him to the retirement home, and by that I mean “prison.“
Trump: "I do not want to lose as your representative $90 billion for the privilege of allowing Canada to have a healthcare system and other things that they shouldn't be having"

Btw, I do think this means that YIMBY is specifically liberal and not leftist I think a lot of stuff is liberal and not leftist. I broadly agree with the gatekeeping leftists about what leftism is, which is I think what divides me from a lot of people i largely agree with otherwise
I hated, hated, hated, *hated* CRYSTAL LAKE, a pants-on-head stupid appropriation of a mythos that at no point in its existence has needed reimagining. Absolutely appalled that anybody is giving this the time of day. Not even Linda Cardellini is enough to recommend it.

As an Andy, I refuse to recognize Harris’ validity as an Andy, and will from here on out refer to him as Plop. With that established, I believe it is incumbent on all of us to vote Republican legislators, including Plop, out of office and ensure they never set foot in it again, fuck this guy.
Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

Wow you don't fuckin' say, never thought I'd read in the paper that she'd turn out to be an asshole
Embarrassing to wake up and read that @bostonglobe.com reporters are so easily suckered by right-wing grifters running cover for the grift; there’s literally no purpose to MDN other than ideological pot-stirring, you schmucks.
”Sexually transmitted diarrhea“ should not be a news item; it should be the name of an early-era Buttholes Surfer track, chained to the 1980s where such things belong.
Can’t say enough good things about V/H/S/MIXTAPE, the best the series has been pretty much since returning with V/H/S/94; glad I got to write the first of my two pieces about it for @popheist.com!
And - and! - for JoySauce, I spoke with Renee Zhan, director of the film’s “bloodthirsty muppets“ segment, a high note to st on; puppeteers are indeed some of the biggest freaks in the industry. I love them.
Honestly, I do find it irksome and troublesome that anyone associated with the Democratic party is comfortable having anything to do with Piker, but the day will come when folks wise up and realize he's a fucking parasite; the media would do well to contain the hard-on they have for him.
REPORTER: “Why does Mike Rogers have to answer for Trump and you don’t have to answer for Hasan Piker?” 🤡 @abdulelsayed.bsky.social : “Is that a serious question? Donald Trump is the president of the United States.”
