I'm not mad at the new Dexter reboot. Went into it skeptically but I'm quite enjoying it now.

Appeals Court Judge Claims (Against All Historical Evidence) That The First Amendment Doesn’t Apply To Non-Citizens
We've written before about how attacks on free speech often start with unpopular speakers who lack political power. That's why a new dissenting opinion from Trump-appointed Judge Paul Matey should set off alarm bells for anyone who cares about the First Amendment. In a case involving an imam's immigration status, Judge Matey penned a remarkable 39-page dissent arguing that non-citizens have no First Amendment rights at all.

How many times can you bring a guy back from one series into another?
Horror movies do it a lot, but I can't recall other shows that keep resurrecting a MC whose arc seemingly ended.
But why not? It's such a horror staple.

I *might* have started with the new Karate Kid movie bc nostalgia.
Which might be a theme tonight now that I'm onto Dexter: Resurrection. Barely 15 minutes in & we've met a lot of dead major characters.

Sotomayor: “Today’s order clarifies only one thing: Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the Supreme Court on speed dial.”
Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor & Jackson (and a rare concurrence from Justice Kagan), #SCOTUS "clarifies" that its 6/23 ruling staying a district court's injunction against third-country removals *also* applies to the district court's later order requiring a remedy for those already removed:

We’re here because white people don’t like the idea of being a global minority in any capacity, which they already are. We’re in this spot because they only care about preservation of whiteness and a delusional supremacy that they created in their heads. You might be mad but I’m not wrong. 🤷🏽♂️

This one is pretty out of my comfort zone, way too realistic in the worst of ways (& to/for/with kids, too). I am not about this high-brow kinda horror; not to say there isn't originality/interesting storyline to (some of) them. I want to be scared, not add more trauma. #HorrorHating

Torture is my least fave horror genre, tied with realistic gore (a la Heredity). This movie is the latter.
I've turned away from most of the supernatural scenes, starting with the first one (which was less about gore & more about vomit - have a thing about that 😬) #HorrorHating

Have others noticed an increase in creepy children with shaved heads? I don't know this kid's backstory yet (link for the img) but most of the storylines involve suffering from medical experiments at the hands of parental figures. Is Stranger Things the culprit or part of the trend? #HorrorHating

Tonight's #HorrorMovie is Bring Her Back (2025).
Most of the time, when I watch a movie for the first time, I stay away from reviews or summaries of any kind and go in with as few expectations as possible...
which is either amazing or traumatizing, depending on the movie. (poster credit: A24)

I have regrets.
The #TexasChainsawMassacre remake is the graphically extreme version of the original. It doesn't add much to the subgenre other pre-Hostel torture. Never got into the sequels. Viewing once every 20 yrs is good enough for me. 😂

iiiiiiii don't remember a whole lot of this movie.
It's def been updated to modern times: gore is the focus, and it starts right away.
The best parts: R. Lee Ermey and the little kid from The Ring.

I know #TexasChainsawMassacare started a whole subgenre of horror, but remind me to never watch the original again. I have a headache from the nonstop screaming. 😬 (I'm old)

There's so much fucking screaming in this movie. Screaming or chainsaw.
The dialogue is about as loud as the radio chatter in the background.

I'm beginning to suspect my sense of this movie is very much shaped by what came after it (X-Files' "Home" episode, in particular). I keep thinking this fam is both inbred and mutanted by nuclear power. 😂
