As a Cool Aunt™️ who spent Thanksgiving watching too many movies with my nieces and nephew, allow me to guide your cinematic journey:

Zootopia 2 is far superior to Wicked 2.

Go see Zootopia 2!!

Trying to get back to writing and I thought I would think about a scenario where I got super powers. After three run throughs of the scenario, it ended every single time with me overthrowing the government and ruling my country because the government tried to control me.

Jesus, it was bleak.

Here's a note I sent to our members about what we did with their money, and why we expect the Onion to outgrow the Washington Post.

We keep doing weird, hard shit — taunting ICE, yelling at Congress for not taunting ICE, buying bad websites — when nobody else does.

Our members keep getting papers.

Dear Raul Julia: in whatever Elysian Fields you inhabit, I hope you know that the last movie you filmed & the work that you spent your last moments on has become beloved. A classic not just at the holidays, but a primer on how to selflessly and brilliantly love another person to utter distraction.

It's funny to see people saying the economy is fine, when you have tech dudes asking for a trillion dollars to invest in a product where their answer to "what's your business model" is "we'll ask our product how to make money".

They have been rounding us up bunches to sell us on our new compensation model. I was tired of hearing "you can get 200%!" repeatedly so I professionally unloaded on them within the first ten minutes of the meeting. That got the rest of the mob going and the next 90 minutes was "no answers".

"Hey, when Aaron says 'no', there really is no logical or safe decision to do what we want to do. He doesn't say it often, so you better listen when he does."

I will ride that work complement for a long time
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

This is no surprise.

King’s only claim to his Pretendianness was his mother said his estranged father was part Cherokee. He never did any due diligence and rode that rumour for decades until he was finally called out.

Anishinaabe writer and scholar Niigaan Sinclair says Thomas King's revelation that he's not of Cherokee descent felt like "a gut punch."

As a Canadian, my view of the national guard has been of one where they help people in emergencies. My US relatives have more than once benefit from the guard operating under dangerous conditions (blizzard, floods).

They volunteer for that. Not to be unnecessarily put in harms way for a photo op.

I will probably be seeing Five Nights at Freddy's 2 on opening weekend. I do not have high expectations for the film (I liked and appreciated what the first film attempted), but I want to send Hollywood a "cast Josh Hutcherson and Mathew Lillard in more things" message with my box office dollars.

Hey folks! I know people are stretched a little thin right now but I wanted to boost this fundraiser for @siwc.bsky.social -- which as some may know cancelled this year so as to avoid crossing the picket line for the con hotel staff. (But now they are broke!)

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.
