The Toy Story movies have successfully conditioned me to the point that I tear up any time Jessie is on screen, regardless of the actual emotional content of the scene

I didn’t see the entirety of the Wizard of Oz until I was an adult because the first couple times my parents put it on I ran and hid when the Wicked Witch showed up.

In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?

Kentucky, motherfuckers. Kentucky. No excuses.

NEWS — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear criticizes fellow Democrats who say transgender athletes should be barred from women’s sports. “That is not the party that we are. We start as a party of compassion and empathy.”

What I’m hearing is that we can combine Fat Bear Week and the election. Put some of those bears on the debate stage with the human nominees and you’ve got guaranteed ratings.

Thanks to @jeffedwards.bsky.social for this amazing constitutional catch. The requirement that you must be a natural born citizen and more than thirty-five years of age only applies to persons, but there is no requirement that you must actually be a person to be president.

Look, it’s pretty obvious that God hates the Lions, but someday they’re gonna win anyway and it’s gonna be like that thing in Dogma where if they prove God wrong the world ends So be ready for that, I guess

This is insane. Inflation is under 4%. We’ve genuinely created a monster here: a public that hallucinates intolerable inflation no matter what the actual figures are. It is a bullet to the head of the entire progressive project *and progressives can’t even be made to care.*

Things I was frightened of as a child: Carnage, the Spider-Man villain The Wicked Witch of the West Death

Things I was frightened of as a child: The Sharp Tooth from Land Before Time The Ocean The closet door, in the room in the house where I first saw a shadow person, which was a yawning pit when left open but still infinitely preferable to seeing the things in the mirrored doors when it was closed.

I can confidently say this is the worst thing that has or is going to happen to me this year and that’s funnier if you knew anything about my personal life right now

This is like when they spent ten minutes deciding Patrick Sparks toe wasn’t on the line in 2005 when it fucking WAS and we could see it in a goddamn tube TV except WORSE because MSU had another overtime to win the game and WMU just got fuckin cheated

And seriously what the fuck, rushing the field after you barely beat a MAC team and required blatant corruption from the officials to do it I try not to criticize the youths since I no longer am one but have some fuckin dignity and be properly ashamed of what happened here

This is like when the Obsidian Spur cheated in their hoedown against the Kansas City Hotsteppers except worse

Look I don’t care if he’s an alum if El Sayed won’t commit to demanding a congressional investigation of that game I’m not fucking voting for him

My 11 year old daughter and her grandfather are now going frame by frame on the dvr and shouting about how the clock was obviously at zero while the ball was still live and they’re right to say it

If Michigan wins on this play it’s an indelible stain on the whole season, just obvious corruption, cancel the season

Without saying your age, what is your favourite movie that came out when you were 20 years old? Ok, so this is my legit favorite movie from that year (and all time, really), but my best movie theatre experience was Snakes on a Plane.

Without saying your age, what is your favourite movie that came out when you were 20 years old? I went to the midnight premiere in Dunedin where someone proposed to their fiance with a vanity card asking her to be his "Lady of the Ring" and someone else did a perfect wookie howl in the crowd.

I’m 40 years old, and yesterday I royally fucked up my back crouching down to put some masking tape on the floor so I could see how my table is going to fit in a new room.

Hey, so, we should be worried that videos saying “yeah, you can enlist in your 40s” are hitting social media.

Make your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title: A woman writes a book about an IRS agent auditing a small business.

Make your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title: A chief technology officer is worried about keeping his spreadsheets private.

I’ve had Jonathan Chait blocked on every platform I’m on for years and he’s STILL managing to move up the list of people I find most annoying. That’s dedication to the craft right there

I just got a fundraising email for Amy Acton paid for by Jocelyn Benson, and I gotta say if this is part of a plan to get me, a reliable Dem voter, to question how worthwhile voting is at all, it’s a pretty good one. Also Michigan pols should only discuss Ohio in the context of annexing Toledo.

I used to read @kaaauthor.bsky.social’s The One and Only Ivan to my 4th graders every year when I was a teacher. I just read The One and Only Ruby, and y’all, I’d have SOBBED in front of 27 ten year olds if this had been written back then.

It is 11:30pm, everyone is in bed, and the silence is broken by my seven year old loudly singing “who let the dogs out” from down the hall

If somebody ever invented the Eternal Sunshine memory machine, I would use it exclusively to read books again for the first time

Ok I get the benefits of the nuclear block and the general blocking culture, but damn if it isn’t disappointing to get to the top of a vague but obviously drama filled thread and think you’re about to understand it only to see that the initial post is blocked

When I was a kid, I could hear the TV turned on with nothing playing from upstairs and across the house, and it would keep me awake. Losing that has been one sort of nice side effect of aging.
