With the death of Ace Frehley—the first original member of KISS to die—I believe ABBA, Aerosmith, Genesis, and Grand Funk Railroad are now the only major bands to begin releasing music more than 50 years ago and still have every member alive.

The talk of MMA cards at the White House has dampened my own enthusiasm for it. By comparison, I saw The Iron Claw as soon as I could back in 2023.

I wonder how much MMA and UFC being so closely associated with Trump right now is driving down interest.

Don’t feel bad. It’s damned hard even when you used to be able to.

There will probably be a spoof of this debate on SNL but it won’t be nearly as funny as the real thing.

If the cats met Zohran they’d like him and loathe Cuomo and it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s how Sliwa thinks

“I don’t take cabs because I was shot in the back of a cab in 1991” response totally made it totally worth watching this mayoral debate from the other side of the country.

How many news sites are publishing pictures of Tommy Thayer right now?

They make me feel so badassed just for taking BART, or walking a couple of blocks in Oakland.

There’s a monorail in the park. Why not one from the airports to Anaheim?

Thanks for this! I was having flashbacks to last year when those grabby Yankees fans had me pulling for LA. (I’m a Giants fan but the Yankees are easy to root against too.) taking the post down in a few.

Why would you make your political reporter leave Portland now!?!

I almost has as much fun making this trailer for the #Halloween episode of @oldmoviesystoners.bsky.social as I did recording it! And you'll have fun listening to it too. Now streaming on Apple and other pod apps.

Okay. So. Amazing scenes playing out at the vets when i arrived to pick up Napoleon.

Names changed/removed. But get ready for a lost kitty story with a happy ending.

It starts late last year, when the elderly neighbour of a young couple went into a care home /1

I know AI is bad but what if we replaced Donald Pleasence in Escape from New York with Bill Clinton?

I probably would’ve seen it already if they cast Walton Goggins in it. They would’ve shaved $5M+ off the budget too.

It is funny how few independently murderous vehicle movies there are. A very specific sub genre. Christine…The Car… Killdozer…

Gretchen Felker-Martin 🍉 @scumbelievable.bsky.social · Mar 21

I think all evil cars should be called Christines and we should have Christine movies like we have vampire movies. Oh no, a Christine!
