Voted Yes on Prop 50 today.

If you're in Cali and haven't registered, you have until the 20th to do so. If you're angry at Trump and want to take action, the link has all kinds of ways to help.

Tell Greg Abbott to kiss our golden bear behinds. 🐻✊

The only thing I know for certain is that 20 years from now, there will be two lists in people’s minds about this historical moment:

1) Those who spoke up and showed up.
2) Everyone else.

That’s the only truth guaranteed by history.

Everything else is uncertain.

I was diagnosed in my mid-40s too!

Before then, I read a lot of Harry Turtledove books.

Huh. 🙃✌️

On the one hand, you're only getting away with that because of Michelle Yeoh.

On the other hand... you really don't need another reason. At all.

I have never quite forgiven the Mike Flanagan minisaeries despite its many fine qualities, simply for the way he compromised the novel's final line.

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

I feel you. My ex-wife got the bulk of my library in the divorce. I'm a big used video store shopper these days.

💯 Physical media for movies and TV are in the same boat. A corporate streaming service can't pull or alter a DVD.

Developing: per photographer Matthew Kaplan and others on scene, neighbors are currently facing dozens of Border Patrol agents on the east side. Feds have been all over the area, some kidnappings confirmed. Saw one gas canister deployed on FB live earlier.

If you're a California resident and haven't registered to vote yet, make sure you do so by Friday.

The remake is solid, but takes the piece in a much different direction, and it lacks Argento's auteurial stamp. It's a handsome studio piece rather than the work of a visionary.

Edgard Wright described Suspiria as "a dream you've had when you've eaten too much cheese," and that's probably Argento's ethos in a nutshell.

🎯💯. I experienced a hierarchy in a lot of my work experiences there. Favored children got time off, the rest got to work weekends and holidays as crunch time became normalized and permanent.

One manager tried to have team meetings on Sunday mornings.
