As a Gen-Xer, one thing I really appreciate is that at leas we don’t live under my generation’s constant looming threat of—oh, wait.

"agents initially claimed [the victim] purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall"

I used to take calls for Child Protective Services. We would call this "Injuries Inconsistent with Explanation." It meant we were dealing with a violent, abusive liar.

I mean, I know that when I whip out my phone to do something simple like order food, I NEVER get distracted and start checking my texts, my chat groups, that video someone sent me, oh shit—a work email, gotta at least take a look at that…

Well, fuck. Sony bought Alamo just 7 months and they’ve already announced their enshitification program: Fire the wait staff and have people use their phones during the movie.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

It hasn't even been twelve hours, but all three of us have been overwhelmed with requests from media for comment and I'm mostly writing this now so they'll leave me alone.
this is such a painful loss. my heart is broken.

I was thinking about how some professions have relatively equal income distribution and some very much do not. Like, the highest paid fast food worker doesn't make a whole lot more than those at minimum wage. But with plumbers the top 10% make about double the bottom 10%

"OBSESSION" has a release date! May 15th!

Y'all--this is far and away my favorite film from Fantastic Fest 2025. I love it for so many reasons, not least being it's like a master class on how to make a great movie with a minimal amount of money.

Since people liked my junk-sourced electric slide guitar (since named The Dancing Bear), here’s a video from when I built it a couple of Thanksgivings ago…

What was your first car?

Mine was a 1974 Ford Maverick that I got for $500 in 1983 or 84. It was not quite this color, but a weird bronzer-orange I can’t find a good pic of.

Post your first cars—I wanna see them!

Did I just replace the pickup on my junk-sourced electric slide guitar using denim scraps and rubber bands? Hell, yes.

Clearly the Ende Tymes are upon us.

But for real, I honestly hope she's had a legit change of heart. I wouldn't bet much money on it, and I assume she'd remain a borderline fascist, but I will take small blessings where I can get them.
