Some of you want to find a reason why your problematic fave is totally okay, actually.

Try: the art was good, and I enjoy it, but I know they weren't all that great to some people, and get why they aren't adored across the boards.

Do the exercise. It goes far.

A great thread that helps explain why I felt automatic revulsion at the latest Star Trek show looking like this:

It's THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, as the popular consensus has indicated. A masterwork.

Buuuuuuuuuut, I'd kill to see Craven's intended version of DEADLY FRIEND. I'd wager that would have garnered a deeper appreciation over the years.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

Some Atlantic writer is out here pushing a Bari Weiss puff piece by asking people to ratio her, and I really wish people would just block someone begging for engagement like that.

You're not going to convince her to reconsider, and any points you score aren't redeemable, so don't fall for it.

The best reporter character in pro wrestling. Insightful, in-depth, funny, creative, and always gives 100% in every role she plays. The definition of professional.

Here's to many more years of enjoying her work. 💐🤼

Happy 3rd Anniversary, Renee!

You contribute so much for AEW. In front of the camera and off. I hope those realize it's not quite easy to do what you do.

Wish one day you'd stop on by here on BlueSky/WrestleSky to see all the love us fans are giving you.

Here's your flowers 💐

I haven't seen ARES and I can assure you that you don't need to watch LEGACY. Any connective tissue will be inconsequential enough for new viewers to jump in.

Maybe watch LEGACY after ARES if you're still interested? I'm willing to bet it's the better movie.

I didn't realize Shane Black is beginning to metamorphose into what I can only describe as "Jerry Stiller if he had a conservative podcast."

Three-card monte is rigged against the person playing it. Whether it's fun or not is irrelevant. It's designed to make you lose. That's why you are stupid if you play.

The platform formerly known as Twitter may be horrible, but it is still shaping policy. So were we all wrong to leave?

Was the left wrong to leave X for BlueSky?

It's 1982. Disney hopes TRON will be a huge hit and a franchise kickoff. It flops.

It's 2010. Disney hopes TRON: LEGACY will be a huge hit and a franchise kickoff. It flops.

It's 2025. Disney hopes TRON: ARES will be a huge hit and a franchise kickoff. It flops.

I read Peter Thiel’s essay on Alan Moore’s Watchmen and it unquestionably proves that piss poor media literacy is foundational to this recent rise of fascism.

We should all be the ones doing awesome drugs, playing Hades II for 5 hours straight, reading Weapon X by Barry Windsor-Smith, and staying up all night to do a marathon of the Scanners franchise.

The rich freaks should be the ones toiling away.

This is another form of censorship and book banning to my mind: you force an ersatz simplification on young readers while making the original harder & harder to obtain, then tell them the ersatz is better than the real thing (bc it is programmed propaganda pablum).

Sonja Drimmer @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social · 10h

No, resurrecting the corpse of Anne Frank so 12-year-olds can gossip with her is not how you “make history come alive.” It’s how you destroy history so that someone can come in, rewrite it, and then author a future to their liking.

For the love of the film goddess, are you kidding me? You couldn't even default to the friggin' Godfather? What fresh SEO demographic Hell is this?

Someone needs to suffer for this

People magazine headline credits Diane Keaton with “father of the bride“ and “first wives club“ instead of “Annie Hall“ and “the godfather“.
