i know not a lot of people are playing marathon right now, which saddens me, but it brings me so much joy that the Monsanto/McDonald's faction's design language includes 2000s-era Apple-style Helvetica phrases plastered all over their guns

decided to watch House on Haunted Hill (1999) on a whim (inspired partially by Haunted Hotel, season 2 out now on netflix watch it lmao) and why didn't anyone ever tell me the opening title sequence is this brothers quay-ass stopmotion / collage set to driving organ music

famke janssen and jeffrey combs are in it. and chris kattan. i have no idea how big any of these parts are (except famke who had top billing) anyway i'm excited for whatever this turns out to be. 92 minutes, perfect length.

We're gonna see a whirlwind of privatization attempts in bc if the cons win, which they probably will. Big fights ahead for the labour movement and just people in general

i'm watching chobits for the first time and hideki's landlord must think he's such a fuckin weirdo mfw the 18 year old i let move into the building i manage means well but has AI psychosis

man it's funny to think how the entire province is going to be privatized because our premiere has the political savvy of an ostrich

Wildwood was good!! The animation was unreeeeal i have no idea how they pulled off -most- of it lol. The scale of the film was wild- there's stuff going in there that would be difficult-to-impossible to achieve in most mediums, let alone stop-motion

I'm sure there was a bunch of CG and compositing going on to really fill things out but really just gorgeous work all around from Laika on this one. A fun adventure story too! Surprisingly dark, felt kinda like Labyrinth but in Portland

Notice that you almost never hear about billionaires doing anything actually *good* for the world. Even "philanthropy" when it happens is just image-laundering combined with a non-democratic public policy implementation (ie. If we just taxed them we could get what philanthropy gives anyway)

My thesis, which is a hot take i know, is that billionaires are inherently evil and must cease to exist if we are to stand a chance at weathering the next century as a society

Vancouver had the highest voter turnout in years, and almost a fully progressive slate. New West had lower turnout than last year, and was a right-wing sweep. A big part of the electoral left's work needs to be getting the vote out: most people who don't vote would be voting more left if they did

People are at least sometimes willing to hold their breath and vote for the bad but not awful choice when it's a Regularly Scheduled Election. But when the bad choice is actively antagonistic to voters? A bunch of them are gonna stay home

Okay but OneCity?? Between this and refusing to sign the pledge for Palestine they probably should have had an actual backbone. Instead, they were limited to the one incumbent councillor in what should have been a lay-up full-slate election for them.

Municipal elections in BC are TODAY!
