I’ve been off Twitter since 2014 and happy to see a decade later a platform that feels like what it used to be.

Superman was a fun movie but flawed. Too many characters, and a pretty convoluted plot that went super weird in spots. However the acting was top notch and the spirit of kindness radiated.

Mon Mothma’s speech in episode 9 of the latest season of Andor could be spoken on the senate floor in America and be just as meaningful. “of all the things at risk the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil.”

Increasingly I’m convinced that Pump by Aerosmith is not only one of the best albums of the 80s, but that the production is equally as good as the songs. Seriously, listen to it again with a nice pair of headphones, it’s incredible!

With Trump being a TACO, Trump Always Chickens Out, I’d like to propose one for Vance being a VAGINA, Vance Always Goes Into Negative Awareness. Thoughts?

First it’s the institutions of government, now it’s its schools, next will be the free press. We could go the way of Turkey to total authoritarianism, or Poland who organized, held the line, and voted the authoritarians out of power. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Now that tangerine manbaby is going after TayTay and the Boss, the only response has to be an epic collaboration song between both of them!

Can they modernize this a bit? Maybe turn it into the new “CHICKEN JOCKEY!!!”

As more than a billion Catholics around the world await the election of a new pope, all eyes are on the Sistine Chapel, where 133 cardinals are beginning the secretive process known as a conclave.

Watched the Thunderbolts. It proves that if you center a movie around real stakes, emotional character development, and telling a great story the Marvel formula doesn’t matter. It doesn’t hurt if you have actors as strong as Florence Pugh, David Harbor, and Wyatt Russell too.

All the rancor I see around Trump’s decision to tariff Hollywood seems to imply his “plan”. It should be obvious to everyone, the man has no long term plan and he’s making shit up as he goes. He is a vengeful greedy man baby with impulse control issues. Long term strategy, not one of them.

Hey Google, if you’re so innovative with AI, why haven’t you been using it in places that would be actually beneficial, like blocking spam emails to Gmail? Or a way for users to weight spam and create their own filters. Actual useful AI, not buzzword slop bullshit.

Revenge of the Sith turns 20 this May. Remember a movie about the fall of a republic into a totalitarian regime, then watch it again on the news for real!

Umm both “duh” and “dumb” at the same time. The moron doesn’t seem to understand that predictability in financial policy is what is really need here. What an absolutely bone headed stupid egomaniac loser. Well we can watch the markets do the same thing in 90 days!

Well now we’re up to a 104% tax for consumers on any goods manufactured or imported from China. The old man in orange makeup is bad for business.

Will the cult of Trump actually see how bad he is for the nation once they lose their livelihoods and things cost so much more? We’re in for a WILD ride, and it’s not going to be good for anyone.

It’s one thing to be incompetent like Hegseth and crew are. But to be incompetent and arrogant about your incompetence and not learning from it is a recipe for disaster.

Not going to lie, during a music debate between my kids my son goes “really? Dark side of the moon is one of the greatest albums of all time!” I felt a jolt of pride.

Chuck Schumer has proven he’s no longer a leader in the Democrat party, he’s a collaborator and enabler of a fascist new order that is happening. Vote him out New York. We need strong leaders. This is the other side of the coin as to why we are where we are at now.

Bernie is one of the best of us. We need to empower a new generation with his drive and passion because we’re all in this together.

“This is like presidential campaign rallies, isn’t it? But I’m not running for president, and this is not a campaign,” Sen. Bernie Sanders told The Associated Press. “You gotta do what you gotta do. The country’s in trouble and I want to play my role.”

Crazy that if you start a trade war, then kind of stop it, then start it again the stock market tanks. Did I mention this was a war with our allies? Face it, Trump is bad for business, as are his Republican enablers.

I wonder if historians will look back at this period as not just the end of western democracy, but of the enlightenment era. Where cultural growth, science, and literacy are crushed in favor of entertainment and an AI powered outrage economy.

The attention economy of social media is so distracting it destroys mass culture, since we cannot come together and focus on anything anymore. Democracy is our ultimate form of mass culture.
