lol sorry man

Maddest Mouse @sssparkers.bsky.social · 18h

i attended an intimate, small event with a (niche) famous person last night and because it was raining, only like 10 people showed up

i get that going out is very expensive these days, but even getting people to go to free things feels like asking them to volunteer for a root canal

oriana schwindt @schwindter.bsky.social · 18h

didn't really understand what an absolutely herculean task it now is to get people to attend events, even in new york where the whole point of living here is to do things

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

it would be a lot less humiliating if the people who won literally everything at least weren't gigantic morons

Maddest Mouse @sssparkers.bsky.social · 19h

i too have my concerns about this Zabar Montana guy

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

pretty clear why they're trying so hard to pin this on dems

Maddest Mouse @sssparkers.bsky.social · 1d

the trump goons finding the $$ to pay ice and nat guards while air traffic controllers work unpaid seems like a REAL problem just waiting to happen if this shit drags on

i dunno man you might wanna take a few more passes on this thesis before defending it in front of the committee

Maddest Mouse @sssparkers.bsky.social · 2d

The Studio is instructive because it accurately represents most execs: they love films and film history (which is why movies about movies always win oscars) but their mandate from above is to turn as big a profit as possible.

hence the comedic stakes of The Studio

oriana schwindt @schwindter.bsky.social · 2d

there are plenty of conflicts within this relationship and we all know the people in charge want to pay the creatives as little as possible but the rank-and-file generally like, y'know, physically making TV and movies

i stuck with the mouse so much longer than every other editor i know, and when i finally made the switch i felt like such an asshole for not doing it sooner

Maddest Mouse @sssparkers.bsky.social · 3d

apple's fixed a lot of awful design hangovers from the Ive era but the fact that they never fixed the fucking mouse continues to flummox me

Maddest Mouse @sssparkers.bsky.social · 3d

or you can plug it in immediately and keep working because you don't have to flip it over like a dead fuckin roach

Maddest Mouse @sssparkers.bsky.social · 3d

it's the difference between "i can continue to finish my day's work" and "well shit maybe I have an hour left, but i should probably stop what i'm doing right now just in case"

i've fantasized of doing violence in reaction to all this, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the Mel Brooks strategy is going to be a lot more effective

there are SO many more inflatable costumes tonight. clearly we have settled on a motif

Wide shot of many people in inflatable costumes

i'm holding on to hope that it'll be a short-lived dictatorship but also people are currently dying and they're going to keep dying because of these goddamn goons

the texas chainsaw tagline "who will survive and what will be left of them?"
