This bloated love child of a gargoyle and a traffic cone couldn’t even eke his way through history’s most cynical memorial service without self-aggrandizement. He’s one labored breath away from saying “I like guys who didn’t get shot” before he remembers he’s supposed to like the guy.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Oh *definitely* get on Butterfly Kisses if you haven’t see that one, @horrorfilms101.bsky.social. It’s also one of my favorites.

All TV fandoms agree that any long-running show has good episodes and bad episodes. The Doctor Who fandom is unique in that it can’t come to consensus on which ones are which.

Tell me your most unhinged Doctor Who opinion. I mean, if you’re a fan, they’re likely all unhinged anyway.

Tim Walz: "The biggest myth is that this guy understands business. He's an absolute abject failure at business ... the irony is calling Democrats socialists when I am begging for free markets here to allow capitalism to work. Donald Trump is the one with government interference."

The Trumps: “We’re saving God.”

I wonder why Donald could *possibly* think he’s not getting into heaven.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

I still stand ten toes down on this statement even after I got death threats on Twitter about it. Writing off the south continues to birth resentment and a further divide that shouldn’t even be there. They want a division to make it easier to continue regressive bullshit. Stop. Falling. For. It.

If you’re going to be an asshole and insist on celebrating Columbus Day, you must do so in an historically accurate manner: getting lost looking for the spice aisle in a Walmart while screaming racial slurs at passersby.

Denigrating Columbus isn’t revisionist history, Columbus Day is. In his own time, Columbus was viewed as a scumbag and was arrested and stripped of his position for brutality, which is a polite way of saying raping, torturing, and murdering the people he was supposed to be governing.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."
