Enough new folks here that it’s time for a pinned intro: I like to post about David Lynch movies, Alan Moore comics, AEW, Columbo, video games that everybody finished years ago, 90s sketch comedy, and collectible screenprints. I don’t like to talk about politics, but I seem to do it a whole lot.

I think we underestimate the appeal of antigambling politics because every problem gambler is surrounded by 3-10 people who are absolutely sick of their shit.

TIL that Kyle Maclachlan lost the best actor Emmy (for the first season of Twin Peaks) to Peter Falk for a 90s Columbo, which i would probably find more galling if it hadn't been a McGoohan episode

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

by this time next week I suspect I’m going to regret second guessing my instincts and adding “conservative” to this post

Matt Miller@mattmiller.bsky.social

oh boy, conservative media’s been starved for an old-fashioned “this black guy thinks he’s better than you” Obama story, huh?

one of the more effective onscreen makeovers in wresting history #AEW

Kyle Fletcher, on the October 23, 2024 #AEWDynamite, had a message for Will Ospreay . . . "I am nothing like you!". Then Fletcher shaved his head in the middle of the ring. Was this the true beginning of Fletcher's fantastic run? youtu.be/Lx6jckv7OJc?...

i just can't get over how in a normal world, kyle would be seen as a loser. he's the guy who can't bring himself to celebrate his coworker with the rest of the office. he passes off other people's work as his own. and microsoft's message is: be like this asshole

watched CAST A DEADLY SPELL for The first time since I was a kid. some random observations: - the “magic is suddenly everywhere and it sucks“ thing feels pretty resonant atm - the last act is a weird inversion of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK’s - the world is saved by a clear-cut case of statutory rape

- wouldn’t say the way the trans character (played by Beecher from OZ!) is treated is respectful (bad end, some slurs via our hero), but it’s more respectful than you’d expect from a 1992 TV movie - Julianne Moore is surprisingly the weak link in the cast. never quite clicks into the femme fatale

would also note that, while Josie does a fantastic job of distilling Scientology’s bullshit in a way that informs but doesn’t overwhelm the Beck story, GOING CLEAR feels like just as essential a background work as ODELAY

also, could never have predicted that this guy would turn out to be such a compelling character

finished @josie.zone’s THE LAST TEMPTATION OF BECK — a fascinating, compellingly written, intensely sad book

remember during Trump 1, when AOC unambiguously called Trump a racist on 60 Minutes, and Anderson Cooper replied with an incredulous “How can you say that?”

they know what’s coming, and they’re ripping the wiring out of the walls

Trump order just issued from the White House: “I am hereby waiving the application of such sanctions, restrictions, and duties [on Russia] provided for in the Graham Act.” www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

picked up a part time gig harassing people at the entrance of a Best Buy trying to get their opinions on shitty movie trailers they’d have to watch on a sub-Virtual Boy headset lasted a single day

very wild to read this, remembering back in May of 2023 when you could count the number of people posting about wrestling on two hands 🤼

“Pro wrestling conversations, like sports on Bluesky across the board, rarely engagement-farm—posts are celebratory and much more real. The lesson is to invest in product features that serve people who care more about the community than they care about going viral.” — @harry.bsky.team
