How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying: For Tax Purposes

The way I could, and honestly might, write an entire book about the way that @mikeflanaganfilm.com adapts pre-existing narratives. Every one feels very clearly like HIS version of the story while still making fans feel satisfied and I want to break it down at a micro-level.

This guy was fun to paint

I cannot express to you enough that you should watch @mikeflanaganfilm.com ‘s Carrie. He definitely did his own thing and is telling his own story and as a deep lover of the novel: I’m so happy Flanagan who is a genius is not just replicating it.

I hate to be pessimistic, but honestly I feel like the wave of frat bros being held accountable for rape rn is going to follow the same pattern as BLM and MeToo: everyone will fake accountability briefly and then go back to normal with no real consequences or changes.

Idk

Oh. Fuck James Gunn I guess.

What the fuck

Second watch of the day: 976-Evil dir. Robert Englund

The Lizzie McGuire Halloween episode. Happy October 1st! #halloween

So he’s remaking Pan?

Damnit.

Just for the record, SNL would have censored any other slur. They didn’t censor the t slur because they didn’t think slurring trans people was a big deal. And they suck for that.

@williambibbiani.bsky.social how do you feel about the whole “Speilberg actually directed Poltergeist” thing? I’ll hold my thoughts for now so as to not sway how you say things

Jesus fucking christ the way capitalism can’t help but lead to a small number of psychotic individuals being involved in every aspect of society

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT.

I want to write diverse stories. I also don’t want to write stories I’m not supposed to write. Feels like a double edged sword.

We have to get over the litigating “cancel culture”. Dog piling is bad and unhelpful. HOWEVER, we owe celebs and the rich nothing and we can stop supporting them whenever we want for any reason we want. Ed Sheeran is free to voice any opinion he wishes, and I’m free to not listen to his music.

I’m going to say something so controversial yet brave: I like when Fonzie jumps the shark.

I’m inclined to condone it.

Look, I have concerns about Greta Gerwig’s Narnia adaptation too, but this culture war nonsense just had to stop. 20 years ago if the Disney one gave Aslan different colored eyes and colored whiskers and cast a woman almost nobody would have cared much. They’re faking outrage for clicks.

Martin Campbell will always be one of all time favorite directors because he made 2 of the best Bond films and also the best Zorro movie.

Holy shit I’m writing. I’m in the middle of the woods and I’m finally writing again.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

I just want to clarify: Ed Sheeran’s statement is predicated on two very obvious lies that he believes his audience is too stupid to see through. And that should, on its own, show you he’s not worth your time. Free Palestine

I’m ready to be in a yurt in the woods by myself for two days.

I went to write a whole dissertation explaining the narrative brilliance of A Series of Unfortunate Events, and its incredibly unique way of teaching children deep and meaningful empathy. How, unlike other kids stuff, it says “evil and unfairness just exist” and “there are no noble people.”

@danirat.bsky.social I have an idea for you: allow people to commission you to watch things and write about them. Not for them to post. But like you have a blog or whatever where you post articles. And then people can pay you to write one about something they pick for you to watch.

The entire city bus system where I live apparently is cash-free now. Hate that.

The biggest takeaway I have from the James Talarico situation is: Dude, it’s really not that hard to hire a trans person to ensure you don’t say something astronomically stupid during an incredibly close and important race.

I like NuTrek more than most people seem to but also, hey remember when Star Trek used to be fresh inventive sci-fi written by sci-fi writers who liked sci-fi? Also, remember when the world wasn’t going to end in every single episode and they didn’t have to break Starfleet protocol every ep?

For reasons beyond my control I didn’t get my regular paycheck, which means I can’t afford bills. Which is super fun. If anyone is able to help even just a little it would be appreciated. cash.app/$DeathCabFor...

Uh… fuck Paul Schrader.

Welp. That’s a wrap on me every engaging with Armchair Expert. Literally a day 1 listener, and despite previous concerns here and there, I have maintained some level of support. But that ends today.

I have never once seen Glen Howerton and not thought he seemed like a bit of a douche lol

The only times I’ve ever been frustrated by someone’s gender identity is when I wanted to say “girl” in the gay way but it would invalidate their gender identity.

Minor point but fuck off. Also it’s wild that your page makes you seem insufferable to me, a Frasier fan.

A single person invalidates my gender identity and sexuality and somehow it’s still making me spin out.

I…. This is a terrible interaction. If you’re trans and find anything I said in this interaction offensive please let me know, but calling me cis and straight when I’m neither and then putting bi in quotes is fucking lame.

Debra Messing is such a POS.

Sincerity is cool actually.

Fuuuuuuuuuck yes!

You know what that Neutrogena apology doesn’t address? How they managed every aspect of her life for a decade including controlling the food she was allowed to eat(despite her having an ED), and having a morality clause she was forced to follow. Where’s the apology for that fuckfaces?

This @jessiegender.bsky.social video is great. Talking to people, it becomes clear MOST people don’t really know anything about what Rowling is doing. We need to have more popular media willing to acknowledge how harmful Rowling is openly so people understand. That’s how we change perception.

I’m not okay. I feel like im downing. I’m heartbroken the people who literally saved my life growing up keep dying one by one. I’m tired of this world. To quote Hamilton accurately: “I imagine death so much it feels like a memory”
