Coming on April 14th on #4K and Blu-ray in the US from @criterion.bsky.social: #TheLifeOfBrian (1979)!
The anarchic irreverence of British comedy legends Monty Python is at its most inspired in this brilliant send-up of the blockbuster biblical epic.

I just want everyone to know that if the house successfully impeaches Trump, Jim Jordan’s will be leading proceedings…
Maybe it’s just me, but I’d kinda prefer we just win in 2026. I can’t imagine anything good comes from a jim Jordan’s lead impeachment….

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

To every individual American: You aren't expected to make a difference on your own.
You are expected to combine your small and individually inconsequential efforts with millions of other small and inconsequential efforts.
You aren't the main character, but your participation is everything.

During my years living in Alabama, I once encountered a man who loudly and openly and very earnestly proclaimed “get behind me, Satan!” at… a Big Mac bun. Because he’d recently started some Atkins-style diet and had to peel off said bun before he ate the rest of the Big Mac.

Can't even ignore how bad SNK is doing in regards to CotW, the AI season 2 trailer they put out is THE WORST thing I have ever seen for a fighting game.
Way to continue to tarnish the legacy of a beloved series. I'm not even disappointed at this point and that's sad.
