I wonder if anybody has posted a feature-length film to Bluesky yet.

Anyway, I’m going to post my first feature, *Hide and Creep*, to Bluesky, two or three minutes at a time.

Here’s the first two minutes and 22 seconds.

I don’t understand why anyone’s debating this — a Nazi tattoo is a non starter, full stop.

This is a race for a U.S. Senate seat. The bar for candidates to clear doesn’t have to be insanely high, but it should at least be off the ground

This reminds me of a favorite comic book trope — Spidey loses his mask and has to use a cheap costume shop Spidey mask instead.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

If we learned anything from the last election, it’s that running against a schmuck does not make you a lock-in. If New Yorkers want him to win, they can’t leave it to everyone else to vote.

A story in two acts. For the record, last year I paid $329.74 (admittedly as part of a Black Friday sale).

I'm sorry, call it a "purity test" if you will, but I believe that having a nazi tattoo, or being a fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, simply disqualifies you from holding public office.

It’s Leto’s one good movie because his character is supposed to be completely unlikable and irredeemable. See also: James Woods in *Videodrome*.

This is very good sci-fi and also very good subtle-commentary-on-current-events.

I do not regret to inform you that a mass of middle-aged doofuses banging on pots and pans and having fun together in the streets is the general formula for non-violent regime change.

Comer: "The evidence we've gathered does not implicate President Trump in any way. Public reporting, survivor testimony, and official documents show that Bill Clinton had far closer ties to Epstein. We're working to bring former President Clinton in for a deposition, but Democrats aren't helping"

Best thing I've read all day: a friend who's heard the critiques of fun nonviolent protests being ineffective, but respectfully disagrees because he was living in Chile when they brought down Pinochet democratically.

Farm state Republicans are appalled by President Trump's plan to import beef from Argentina, saying it will punish U.S. cattle ranchers. This is from Sen. Deb Fischer R-Nebraska.
