Bizarre student conversation I overheard today: "Do you ever get freaked out when someone's body looks, like, TOO human?"

Bro, what?!

Curing myself of "is someone mad at me?" anxiety by goin' "sociopath mode."

For my first act as president, I'm tripling the amount of megafauna in this gotdamn country.

Totally fair! Season one definitely had more heart than most of the later seasons.

It's sort of unbearable but in a way that I can't help coming back to.

Oh shit, I need to read it!

I've been weirdly captivated this season. These people are all so awful, and sometimes their cyclical, nonsensical arguments make me feel like I'm having a stroke.

Eric Raglin @ericraglin1992.bsky.social · 7h

Same! I keep coming back, even when it feels like psychological torment.

Eric Raglin @ericraglin1992.bsky.social · 7h

Yes! But it's also not surprising that they'd have a strong segment. I think I've loved all of their films except for one.

For real! Horror comedy is already a hard sell for me, but this one felt like it tried so little. Bummer!

Eric Raglin @ericraglin1992.bsky.social · 7h

Agreed completely.

We need some critical writing about Love Is Blind as a horror text.

I'm not trying to be a dick.

But they picked two fat republicans for a bunch of jokes when the young republicans said the worst shit imaginable.

My fat ass is out there fighting for what's right.

Stop equating fat with bad or less. Stop telling ME I'm one annoyance away from being your target.

V/H/S/Halloween bears the unfortunate honor of featuring the worst V/H/S segment ("Fun Size") of any entry in the franchise. I was hopeful for this film after V/H/S/Beyond, and I'll almost certainly watch the next one, but oof--what a stinker!

I had never seen the D'Angelo "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" music video until yesterday at work. And lemme tell ya, I should NOT have watched it at work. Goddamn incredible (hothothot) music video though. RIP to a legend.
