My book, The Hidden Thaumaturge, is about overcoming galactic oppression that’s been ongoing for 3,000 years! Sometimes, overcoming authoritarianism takes a long time, but don’t give up hope! marksutterauthor.com/f/the-hidden...

Finally got around to the finale of Stranger Things and I don’t understand why people were mad about it. I thought they wrapped it up brilliantly.

cool country we’ve got here

Who do we talk to at Apple about this: You own a TV show or a movie that you bought from Apple, playing it on an Apple TV box. When the episode or movie is almost done the TV show or movie SHRINKS TO THE CORNER OF THE SCREEN — WE DON’T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN on stuff that we have purchased EVER EVER

THEY SHOULD CALL NORTH DAKOTA NORTH AMERICA AND SOUTH DAKOTA SOUTH AMERICA AND WEST VIRGINIA WEST AMERICA I BET THIS SHIT HITS SO HARD IF YOU'RE STUPID

Safest bet is to pull the plug entirely.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

The AI industry wants you to say "the AI just did that thing on its own!" Like, United Health's AI that's denying a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate? They wanted you to think it's just the AI.

huh that’s weird

Cool Podcast Alert — Tarkin's Top Shelf (@tarkinstopshelf.bsky.social) hosted a fantastic conversation with two of my favorite Star Wars authors, @chriskempshall.bsky.social and @kristinbaver.bsky.social. A genuinely wonderful chat and a real treat to listen to.

anil is right - also threads is perfect for people for whom this is their first week on the planet

Sharing, because it came up in another thread. First saw this at a film festival decades ago. People were literally falling on the floor, they were laughing so hard. It’s *so* wrong, and yet *so* right. Have fun… :)

It's Friday and there's a good chance you're heading to the movies this weekend. While you're enjoying #SpiderMan saving the day, consider donating the cost of a ticket to help us send kids in need to the movies! gofund.me/0fc4294c5

Ireland, we of the rain and mist, is on fire, just in case you didn't think climate change is real.

This should not surprise any Weird Al fan.

The Odyssey has got to be the tamest R movie I’ve seen.

George Lucas is out of touch with AI.

huh that’s weird

film bros/grifters have been telling me for years that if you shoot on FILM you magically get CONTRAST, SATURATION and DEEP FOCUS so I'm excited to watch the trailer for a movie shot on FILM to see tons of CONTRAST, SATURATION and DEEP FOCUS so I'm gonna push play and take a huge sip of a beverage

I don't want to brag, but I worked on a movie directed by Academy Award winner John G. Avildsen—a 'movie' called "Desert Heat" (1999), his final film. But the movie doesn't have his name on it; he Alan Smithee'd his credit... except the end credits (mistakenly) kept "A Film by John G. Avildsen".

Data centers should be banned. Image and video generation AI should be banned. Any AI model that isn’t built for a specific, limited purpose should be banned.

Sam Neill, pitch perfect in so many incredible movies The Piano Dead Calm Event Horizon In the Mouth of Madness Hunt for the Wilderpeople The Hunt for Red October he was even great in Omen III and Memoirs of an Invisible Man

Since Sony is killing physical games, I’m a hard no on the PS6.

Racist losers.

what

My current list of future films under a Full Media Blackout™: 🐴 The Odyssey 🐛 Dune: Part Three 🕷️ Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse 🚫 zero trailers, posters, articles or in order to see the film with fresh eyes for the first time

I've seen 73 movies released in 2025 and 2026 so far and none of them were "gray , no-contrast sludge" movies, (maaaaybe one of them is arguable). What movies are people watching??!

NEW EPISODE! 451• Star Wars Comics, Books, and Media! Your hosts discuss the ‘Edge of the Abyss’ excerpt, ‘Echoes of the Empire’ issue 3 (written by @ethansacks.bsky.social), #Starfighter updates, and #TheNinthJedi Premiere at Anime Expo! #StarWars #Marvel #ReignoftheEmpire bit.ly/42rhloO

MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER IS BACK?!?!?

"A.i." billionaires are thieves. They add nothing to this knowledge but mistakes and disinformation.

John Williams' score for Disclosure Day is wonderfully nuanced. He's often described as a neo-Romanticist but it feels like his inspiration changed for this one. There's less Holst and more Vaughan Williams. Echoes of late Tchaikovsky too. Very pensive and sorrowful

Supremely annoyed about the home releases of Project Hail Mary. You can buy it digitally now , but you have to wait for the physical release which isn’t available in multifotmat unless you get the steelbook 4K/BluRay (which is sold out) and NONE of them include a digital code.

This stuff is so infuriating. The filmmakers and marketing team behind “Primate” (2026) should be ashamed of themselves.
