Watching new SLOW HORSES and realizing I had it wrong about Kyle Soller, specifically the voice he uses in ANDOR. I read him previously as "What if Agent Dale Cooper sucked?" But he's so clipped and firm and angry I realized, no, he's doing Tom Cruise.

Favorite type of Onion story is a toss-up between the really absurd stuff ("pudding factory disaster brings slow, creamy death to town below") and the extremely mundane amd brutally concise ones like this one

Well that was easy, thanks again @jasonbostwick.bsky.social for the suggestion. Here's a non-comprehensive list of VOID 1680 AM Affiliate stations across the globe, sorted by air date: bannerless.games/void-map Each one has a link to their first broadcast.

Hello! I am interested in mapping out the (often fictional) locales of the VOID 1680 AM Affiliate stations, of which there are now well over 100. Anyone aware of an app/site that will let me drop a pin on cities and states, and ideally persist so I can link it for others to explore?

Being saturated in voting season commercials and it's really striking how much the Texas GOP offers absolutely nothing other than TRANS TRANS TRANS. Also one very funny ad saying Talarico is pro crime or whatever on behalf of Ken Paxton, who is a one-man crime wave

If Iread one more cis white dude tsk-tsking about just putting aside human rights to elect a shitty Democrat over a shittier Republican I'm going to fucking scream. The Republican party is at historic levels of unpopularity. If we don't smother this bigotry now, THEN FUCKING WHEN DUDE

Turek is running for Senate in Iowa, a conservative leaning Republican state. And it is a very close race. You have every right to criticize his position on this issue and in a perfect world I’d join you. But let’s put that aside and help him win this race. Turek is still better than his opponent

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

The author's brazen fetish, presented with such hedonistic flair and and open pride it makes you feel a little embarassed for needing to hide your own passions behind self-effacing jokes in order to preserve a sense of safe, pseudo-ironic detachment

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Hard to explain this without sounding like a snot but there's a certain kind of irritation when you take a day off from being funny and end up surrounded by extremely unfunny people who just won't stop quipping

Regal Cinema has these pre-roll concession ads that are just close ups of popcorn and soda with, like, eating and bubbling sounds? And the audio is super hot so it crackles. They run like four of these in rapid succession. I say this in case anyone has a katana to lend me. I will clean it when done
