With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Doctor Who", or "Transformers".

One of MANY that my wife put up around the house when she did. 🤣

A brand-new animated adventure releases in select theaters Friday, Leela Varghese and Emma Hough Hobbs’s LESBIAN SPACE PRINCESS.

Packed with songs that’ll make Rebecca Sugar proud, it asks powerful questions about self & love while featuring an animated dancing vulva and a cum-shooting tiny penis.

The voices too loud in your head? Need some positive affirmation with surreal art and zany songs? “Lesbian Space Princess” to the rescue!

I have just discovered that one of my favorite films of 2024 is available to stream and I encourage everyone who enjoys a little cabin in the woods madness to jump in on this one.

It's a good damn time.

Exclusive look at Lesbian Space Princess 💫

The film opens in theatres on Halloween with a digital release on November 18.

Douglas Davidson @elmntsofmadness.bsky.social · 1d

I’ve clearly missed something in the news that folks are talking this, but seriously - my kids call our close friends Aunt & Uncle.

I also have relatives by blood & my relationships my parents had with them. All Aunts, Uncles, & Cousins.

This is weird.

I am not quoting the post because this is in no way DiabolikDVD’s fault (they rule and you should buy from them whenever you can), but Geeeeezus, does Shout Factory suck. They just can not help but screw up, even on what is likely the most important release they will ever put out. Buncha clowns.

Halloween's on Friday, so I put together a short-list of 14 films I've screened this year that might help spice up your week/weekend plans.

In theaters, streaming, on home video - you can get frights new and old in a variety of combo or sub-genres.

Tomorrow, Jan Komasa’s thriller ANNIVERSARY releases into theaters.

EoM Contributor AJ Friar calls it, “… a chilling portrait of surveillance, control, and the cost of defiance in a world where freedom is an illusion.” #AnniversaryMovie #filmsky

“Anniversary” masterfully utilizes misdirection and on-screen chemistry to deliver a full theatrical experience.

The HALO series has meant a lot to me due to the relationships formed playing it.

We have MC helmet from the HALO 2 special edition resting upstairs.

This fucking sucks.

Hate to see stories meant to quell fascism siding with it in reality.

Nicole Carpenter @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social · 2d

I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.
