It’s cool that they’ve reversed Alzheimer’s in mice. They should try doing that in humans too.

It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since.

30 years ago, Katherine Bigelow made a sci-fi flop that changed her career for the better

Strange Days is a noir-soaked science-fiction thriller set against a backdrop of racial tension, police brutality, sexual assault, and disruptive tech

not to repeat the obvious but: if they are doing this to one of the most famous Western activists alive, imagine what they are doing to the people whose names we will never know

Greta is an immensely impressive human being and despite her well-intentioned downplaying of her experience what she endured was torture. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/25...

‘leftists are wreckers’ factoid actually just statistical error. average leftist is not a huge part of why we have no bench. Maoist Georg, who lives in a cave and refuses to vote 10,000 times each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted

the Bajoran version of the Bechdel test is “do two named women talk to each other about something other than murder” and I love “Deep Space Nine” because it fails almost every episode

Evening’s entertainment has been 1990 horror/thriller The Ambulance. Stars Eric Roberts as a Marvel Comics artist (!!!!) working for none other than Stan Lee. James Earl Jones co-stars as the doubting detective to claims of an ambulance (not sentient) abducting women off the streets of NYC.

Although classified as carnivores, wolves may sometimes follow an omnivorous diet. They can eat meat, eggs and even fruit!

This time of year, pumpkins are a special treat for our ambassador wolves.🎃 #wolffact

del Toro‘s Frankenstein was pretty great. It takes some liberties with the original text as most adaptations have and del Toro weaves in many of his obsessions in ways that feel like they belong there. Monster fuckers will enjoy The Monster, but it’s also for the Monster romantics.

So…..Starmer is moving to ban protests against genocide in order to root out the tiny contingent of antisemites who take part (reminder these marches also contain a large Jewish bloc/descendants of Holocaust survivors) but won’t ban future Unite the Kingdom rallies which are explicitly Islamophobic.

Needless to say, he was THE movie poster artist and pretty much illustrated every formative film from my childhood and beyond. I feared this news would be soon following his Alzheimer's diagnosis and I hope he got to see the outpouring of love and respect from his fans.

So do White people in the west just believe it’s okay to resurrect the dead to make them dance and perform for your pleasure?
Is this a cultural difference?
Because where I come from, disturbing the dead usually comes with consequences.
Bad ones.

No, I do not want to contribute to my workplace’s social media accounts. I don’t even like social media. Every one of the 50,000+ posts I have made on my own accounts have been against my will.
