As Black History Month approaches, a reminder that HORROR NOIRE, the best-reviewed documentary of 2019, is at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, but is still not “Certified Fresh” because there are only 38 reviews (RT says limited release movies require 40). Is this the year? Will you answer the call?

David Brooks is the Panera Bread of pundits.
Most media headlines right now are like "We are laying off 2/3 of our staff and also the president is our ombudsman now" but somehow David Brooks got two new jobs in one day

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

@bunnydarke.bsky.social B, on the latest “Hammer Time” you mentioned that you had not seen “The Manitou.” Do yourself a favor, find it and watch it. Don’t see a trailer or read anything g about it, just jump in. You will be amazed, confused, and delighted.

This is the best stance. I mean, his *estate* may license GoT, but I think it is great that he won't promise any sort of ending in the event of his death.
George R.R. Martin has said that if he never completes Game of Thrones sequel Winds of Winter (or the book after that), there's no plan for anyone else to step in. Instead, his Song of Ice and Fire series simply "won't be finished."

@hondausa.bsky.social Hey, Honda. I replaced my head gasket in May. Now, less than a year later, I'm burning coolant on cylinder 3. Your dealership said, 'you're over mileage for the warranty.'
Way to stand by your cars. I'd had two Hondas before this. I'll never buy another.

Fun fact: the french word for "to protest" is "manifester." As in,"je vais manifester cette glace" (I am going to protest this ice). It really brings new meaning to the term "I'm manifesting it."
Manifesting
Fun fact: the french word for "to protest" is "manifester." As in,"je vais manifester cette glace" (I am going to protest this ice). My first whiff of tear gas It really brings new meaning to the term "I'm manifesting it." One of the reasons we picked France as our european country of choice is that they have a healthy culture of political discourse and protest.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
Two tiny humans (1?) are being carried in different directions down a busy street. Their mums cross paths and Tiny Human Strangers reach out their hands, momentary touching fingers, expressions marvelling at seeing another so small as themselves. (1)

As an intervention against hopelessness and AI slop, I’m running a new writing seminar over on my blog, and I’m unreasonably excited about how it’s going so far.
Anyone’s welcome to join!
This weekend’s post, if I say so myself, is going to be a bit of a banger.

I deleted my previous posts about my harasser to protect the sanctuary, but I will not be using this bluesky account anymore if someone can threaten me here, via email, and on the phone without consequences. Bye for now.
